#zag rs

Bringing up an old idea of mine. As I was drawing and thinking about them, they came to me with a very Fi and Ghirahim vibe. ZAG-RS being very clinical and cold while Alpha is more unstable, figuratively and literally, growing resentful and angry and overall more “alive”.

In hindsight … I probably should have made ZAG-RS look like a young Violeta, seeing as she has her voice. Young child with an adult’s voice adding to the creep feature, I feel. But … I just didn’t think about it until I already was done. 

Also, I don’t think Peter is that old canonically. His daughter seems pretty young and though he could have just had a child late in life I like the idea that just knowing Ceasar has just aged him greatly. 

Also also, Ceasar always appeared to me someone who hides what he feels and he feels a lot. Including how much guilt he would feel over these two and how they warped into the villains they became. But Ceasar being Ceasar he would approach it as logically and detached as he can. I love the idea of Rex coming to Ceasar asking him if he feels guilt over them, if he feels anything about them. And Ceasar would respond that they’re not actually children, they’re machines. I think that kind of response would greatly disturb Rex who is a very “think with you heart” kind of kid. It’s not like Ceasar is wrong but making machines look like children helps humanize them to an extent that could be hard to overlook.
