| One of my favorite drawings. I feel like the jumpsuit and pencil blend together a bit too much. Not sure how to fix it. |
The Penciler was conceived in high school when my friend drew a stupid looking anthropomorphic pencil. Not one to be outdone, I quickly drew a pencil themed character holding a large pencil and decided he was a perfect fit for the Stapler universe. Honestly, his design has been pretty set in stone since the initial drawing and he's only had minor changes here and there. I kind of like the name Graphyte as an alternate name to try and get away from everyone being "The ____er", but I can't really come up with any other cool unique names for other characters, so I haven't committed to it yet.
The Penciler concept worked so well that I then took the design and replaced it with a mechanical pencil motif designed around the pencil I used at the time. It worked out pretty well and I decided to make him into a separate character that was built by the Penciler to work for him. As is the status quo with robot servants, it is smarter than the Penciler and finds his plans foolish. There was an idea to have the Mechanical Penciler eventually overthrow the Penciler and upgrade himself into the Maniacal Penciler (herp derp it sounds similar!) but I've all but thrown that idea in the trash at this point. It doesn't fit the theme well enough.
