Character Concept
So, this was actually one of a few Gizoid ideas that I requested from my friends and family. I asked each of them to give me an idea for a Gizoid. Just a little gift to them. Right now, I've got three or four ideas from my two closest friends and my brother (both of my sisters decided not to input any ideas, so I'll just leave it be).
The idea for Alder came from my friend Caitlin. She told me about the tree known as Alder, and many of the details behind it, including the tree type's presence in folklore. Based on the idea of fairy tales, when creating the design myself, I took a bit of inspiration from forest-related stuff like Robin Hood and fairies.
She wanted a support-focused Gizoid, and while I am honoring that, I also thought a ranger-druid type of ability set made sense for the theme, so I wanted to work with that. I even gave Alder a hardlight bow, like the one I made for my OC, Sapphire the Hedgehog, as I think it fits the forest theme, while also having the tech-theme needed for a robot.
I also want to admit, I wanted to make all of these Gizoids that I requested for from my friends for their respective birthdays. But this one is about a month and a half late, due to a combination of laziness and lacking motivation right away, a bunch of stuff going on in my personal life, including preparing for a move, and the unfortunate timing of working on other projects I wanted to do first.
I just wanted to finish this before MY birthday, because it's the last important project I have for now, and I just wanted everything completed before then. Hopefully, this doesn't mean this is rushed because of this, and what I wanted to do.
But, I will say, the Gizoid's model numbers include the date I posted the Gizoids, but for these ones that I am making for my friends, that date in the model number is instead their respective birthdays, since these were intended for those days, so this is a very different model number.
I hope you like this, Caitlin!
Alder's Design
Alder is an interesting fusion of machine and nature, at least in his design. Much of his frame has a leaf design, including his horn, chest plate, and gauntlet-backs. The rest of his body has medium and light browns for color, and he has purple gems embedded all over his body, including his upper chest plate, shoulders, arms, hands, and knees.
Wrapping around his head, by his horn, is a set of green ribbons, mimicking a hat, much like the one worn by the famous story-character, Robin Hood. And a set of four large leaves (albeit fake) are on his back, like a set of fairy wings.
His eyes are the same purple as the gems on his body, and his bow has a fancy wood / forest design.
