My good friend fluidbias mastermined yet another unique OC to embody from time to time over the preceding fall, this time a scorpion-based hoverbike dude by the name of Cirka. Naturally as a fan of robots and motorbikes, it was a very fun aesthetic for me to admire, and I couldn't help but wonder how I could get in on the fun as well.

Well, it was all thanks to an offhand suggestion in a Discord server by this cool dude of an artist friend, Trick-Trouble, of a "lady bug side car" that got my mind wandering along the lines amusing-&-also-limited forms that really gets my inanimate-TF brain motorizing. A sketch was processed out by the end of the month, and I did start coloring early on, but as is the norm for me things happened that left this project delayed from completion for several months. Ultimately "better late than never" has won out for me once again, and I can now present the completed drawing of Cirka's Ladybug sidecar friend as available to the masses!

Lore-wise, this robotic sidecar fella is named Moto, and as per the limitations he only has three antigravity wheels to float on, limiting their options without a hoverbike to be attached to. With the secret meta lore of Cirka's Sunset Rider story, it shouldn't be too surprising where he came from, but there might've been a factory somewhere involved in the journey that brought him to his current lot in life. Either way, eventually he has a reliable buddy to ride alongside for whatever high-octane adventures lie ahead. And he can help carry extra loads so that helps. Maybe gets to drink some oil too, might taste like cherry soda.

Either way, new adventures await, buddy! Buckle up and crank up the Cars trilogy OST!
