Description

I'm not sure if I am satisfied with Copy and Paste's designs. They do not seem to fit in the style. Major changes may occur later. I changed their designs:  Copy and Paste (old) by UnknownSpy

But other than that, I'm pretty happy with these~


Loading (whatever this thing is) is a character that appears in this world as basically its own species. The difference there is that there are several of them while other "controls" are usually just one. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE Their purpose is to replace "dead" controls. If, ex.g Pause dies, a Loading can sacrifice themselves to revive Pause.

Memory (she) will be changed to History: Function. She Works in the library, taking care things with Search. She is basically able to know what anyone did in the past. 

Search: Function (he) is exactly what you need if you have lost something. He can find anything what has been written down. He works in the library with Memory.

Cursor: Function (they) doesn't have much of a purpose yet, but they are DAMN good in fights. Their hand is really powerful and can crush almost anyone if they get their hand on you.

Hi! What a cool concept you´ve got here. Haven´t seen this idea before.


The characters are adorable, and there´s more lore to them than I´d thought at first.


Loading(s): wouldn´t have guessed their function without them being named. They don´t quite seem indicative to me, as I´ve come to associate loading with dots, progress bars, wheels, and hourglasses before that. Maybe adding some of those elements to the design would´ve made their purpose clearer – like, for instance, making their torso resemble the hourglass shape more, or adding a circle (oh! maybe a halo?) to their design. Their disconnected joints could maybe represent loading too, how choppy it tends to be, but that´s probably overthinking on my part.


Memory: cool, futuristic design, reminding me of USB drives – especially thanks to the orange lines, and the fingers, which resemble connectors.


Search: his finction is clear from the magnifying glass aesthetics, and I like how simple his design is. Reminds me of a robot. The torso, however, looks too disconnected from the legs, they are too far below it. Adding a lower section to the torso would fill that gap – and there´s plenty of room still to have the legs still floating.


Cursor: their design is one of my favorites. A ghostly, menacing presence, a phantom that controls everything from within the shadows. The looming hand looks great. Maybe Cursor´s eyes could be slanted the other way, inwards, so that they´d appear to be scowling rather than worried.


Copy + Paste: I must admit, I think the previous design suited them better. With this design, again, their function wasn´t clear to me without reading the names, and I still don´t find them indicative enough. I like how they are slightly different from each other, rather than identical twins-esque, though. They are adorable, and Copy looks like that one pokemon, hahah.


Overall, a good group of designs! I´m looking forward to viewing more of your art, it´s intriguing.


I hope my critique helped and wasn´t too harsh. Keep up the good job, and good luck with your next pieces!
