Rudolph the Heating Systems Engineer

Published:
5.1K Views

Description

considering how intensely cold the arctic can get, most buildings and traversal tunnels have integrated heating systems. unfortunately, sometimes they break down, and an engineer will have to go fix it. lately, Rudolph here (his mother thought it would be cute to name him after the famous christmas character) has been having to fix a whole slew of broken heating systems lately. something caused a bunch of individual systems to go down, so he's trying to figure out where the source of the problem is coming from.

on the topic of his nose, he has what's known as a "Rudolph nose" alteration (named after the famous christmas character). it's base purpose is a light source that can help UAC (United Arctic Colony) residents see during the darker months of the year, along with providing a distress beacon in case they get lost in a blizzard or snow storm.  different manufacturers and clinics can add additional uses to it, such as a laser pointing system that can operate with different devices (such as the tablets rudolph has, or pretty much anything with a touch screen) in order to provide a hands free experience. this can also act as a security measure, since the nose can also act as a wireless key for specific locks. some clinics even add HDI (Holographic Display Image) support to it to allow for holographic display.

here's my sketch of it ^^ rudolph sketch by MetaDragonArt

I really like the re-imagining of Rudolph in this. He is still recognizeable, though he holds a different job while making use of his signature nose. Your use of resources is very well done with each coming together like a jigsaw.

I do think you overdid the frost effect as it blankets the whole canvas in the same way, overriding the effects of the other textures. The prominence of white in the work makes it bright, causing me to wonder why Rudolph bothers to shine his nose to see.

This is pretty well done and I like the description that goes along with it.
