Description This Daler Rowney sketchbook is just epic fucking win please buy Daler Rowney paper from now on. IL it to bits. It doesn't tear up or bleed like a bitch when I do markering on it. omfg. I wasn't sure if I should post this here since it's a part of the artbook. *n* But I liked the colouring on it and I needed to update the Chaos gallery.

LOL actually he's wearing a scarf, drinking medicine and freezing his nonexistent butt off here. SOCRATES HAET BEING SICK >80

This is the 2nd-in-command of Chaos Phase five (CPSV), the infamous Socrates. Contrary to popular belief, he was not created at the Chaotic Labs, it was the work of Lebenstech (the facility which Hippocrates resigned from). The scientists at Lebenstech successfully aqcuired Dr Hippocrates' DNA to clone a machine manipulating counterpart named Socrates as payback for his treason.

This is the original person Socrates was cloned from, AKA THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD *gets bricked*
[link]

When they both met it was a nightmare for the scientists on both sides. In the end, Hippocrates managed (with some difficulty) to tear up Socrates and disabled him for good. It was not known why Socrates was given a second chance, since Hippocrates was a very cold and emotionless person. All that the Chaos Organisation knew was that Socrates will never walk again.

Currently, Professor Socrates is in charge of database operations in CPS V, monitoring everything with his own personal units. His legs were ripped out by Hippocrates during the fight and he was left with one. He is permanently suspended beneath a heavier quad machine. His main design has not been altered by the Chaos staff, a laser eyepiece was fitted over his eyes for his own defence. In his time of service, Socrates has adapted to his surroundings and developed a taste for blood. He is permanently sick and has a supply of medicine all the time. He is not required to attend the CPS V meetings. He never moves away from the mainframe area due to his condition and duties.


Sadly after 3 years of drawing, I can only visualise 80% of what I have in mind, haha.. really need to kick my ass to develop the other phases.. *n*

He must get severe headaches being upside-down all the time. Though i'm sure he finds a lot of pocket change and lost items that roll under the machinery he uses. Great picture!

The aforementioned upsidedown orientation and the ball conected to his forehead reminds me to GlaDoS.

And that bloodbag reminds me I'm donating blood the next thursday S:

Character's clothing, colours, etc... fucking awesome as usual.

TotenVeloren In reply to ren128 [2008-09-27 03:29:20 +0000 UTC]

Haha XD I didn't know GLaDOS was upside down, but she really looks like a real woman from the side view. I was inspired to draw Socrates again after playing Portal, got motivated. He looked horrible in 2005..I sucked at drawing machinery. The ball is a temperature meter, he has a fever currently XD

Omg. *n* be careful when you donate. It's really tiring and time consuming.

<333 Thanks!

I love old good climate of Chaos Universe. Chaos and Totenic Reign were my uberinspiration at early begining with drawing, oh my, it was maybe around 2 years from now And it haven't lost a bit of awesomness.

The color combination you used makes everything seem so ancient, almost like he's a failed experiment that was abandoned thousands of years ago...if that even makes sense.
