That Man Needs Coffee!
Delivered in the most absurd way possible!
By NovaCaster
As you feel yourself slipping into s deliriously tired state, a roar of an engine jolts you awake. Your coffee mug, which had sat empty for far too long is suddenly hit with a blast of fresh, piping hot coffee and just the right amount of cream! As you look up, you see one of the more confusing sights to meet your eyes… A cute girl salutes your from the top of the most ridiculous tank you’ve ever seen. “Hi there! I’m Coffee-chan! Here’s more go juice for you!” She says as the tank rolls on past. You blink a few times and then wonder just how little sleep you must have gotten to be hallucinating this badly first thing in the morning.
Hilarious Insanity. That’s what this image is. So The story behind this is that myself, Alanna, and 2 of our good friends were in the stream chat talking as Alanna and I were drawing (You can follow our streams on picarto.tv here!) and the idea came up that we should design characters based on coffee. We decided to call it Coffee-chan. So we both came up with some pictures for it.
My version of Coffee-chan (of which this is the second iteration because I didn’t like the first one) Has a lot of possibly subtle tie-ins to coffee. Starting her her hair. I wanted the color to be similar to the way espresso looks when its brewed. So I have the dark color at the bottom transitioning to the light at the top. The hat, adorned with her adorable Coffee-chan logo, is topped with whipped cream.
Moving on the the more ridiculous part of the picture… The tank: the chassis is a German Panther Ausf. D from World War 2. The turret is also based on that same design but obviously heavily modified. The coffee grinder on the back is crank operated by the commander with that handle next to the hatch. The tracks are made of stirring sticks, and the accessories include of course a sugar spoon, and a pair of sugar cube tongs. The cannon fires a constant stream of coffee witch has a spray of cream added in from the small launcher underneath. Last but not least, the tanks number had to be 42. Because surly the only true question to the answer to Life the Universe and Everything has to be coffee.
Enjoy everyone!
