Notes: Not a new character, actually a REALLY old one.

This is one of the characters I used to regularly draw when I was about 12, so hes almost 15 years old!
He was an android cat, and his name was Microchip (shut up, when you're 12 you think thats inspired). I found some pics of him in a box full of my old art from when I was a kid, and wanted to try drawing him now, with my (hopefully) improved skills.
A couple of the original pics of him that I did when I was 12 are here:

I used to be obsessed with Data from Star Trek TNG, so Im guessing this guy was somewhat based on him.
The beauty of children is that they don't concern themselves with logic. There is no plausible reason anyone would put time and money into trying to create a realistic looking, super intelligent, highly advanced android cat; what possible purpose would it serve?
Well, he didn't ever seem to actually do much in my pics other than get beaten up, hurt and used as a punching bag for all my other characters. I seem to remember he was a kind of butler and used to clean up after everyone and perform menial tasks.
Again though, why would someone create a CAT to do such jobs?!

Oh well. Fairly quick piccy, just for fun really. I have a couple of other old characters Im interested in reviving for fun too.
