ough. I found your mike on artfight before I found you on tumblr and something about him just. Scratches my brain /pos
there’s something about your miketenna that’s like a damn drug to me
This question has been sent to me a bit of a while ago so firstly;
Thank you very much for leaving that ask in my askbox! I don't often get to respond to messages because I am not that good at getting my thoughts out and busy with other stuff but I always appreciate them regardless.
Now onto Mike, Mike in the game is a character we know very little about for CERTAIN. What we know is that
1. He used to be Tenna's assistant/control room operator.
2. He used to be very close with both Tenna and Spamton. Spamton in the present day still views him favourably enough not to spare him from revenge and is in fact very protective of Mike.
3. His room is in the Cat Petterz cartridge
And of course, the newsletter scene where Tenna recounts Mike's warning where it implies Mike had some knowledge of Spamton's deal... Or at least the consequences.
All this go say that to re-make my adaptation of him, I had to make some artistic liberties.
Tenna and Spamton are both very similar characters in their personalities and take a LOT from each other, which makes them a great comedic and tragic duo!
However, two theatrical and talkative characters need a foil to support & balance them out, right?
So you have Mike; a mallow, introverted, quiet and mostly level-headed member of the trio who they can rely on to be at their beck and call, yet their quirks had rubbed off each other so much over the years they became their weird little thing.
I'd say their dynamic is comparable to the fun-gang or even Susie Kris and Noelle to some degree?
I don't want to make this post too long so unfortunately I won't go deep into Miketenna's dynamic. But if you've seen my stuff on the Miketenna tag, It can give you an idea.
I just wish more people would take Tenna's grief and denial over Mike as seriously as they do with Spamton.
For those of you who were done scrolling [and hopefully reading] through my little ramble, you get this Miketenna doodle! Yayyyy!
Have a good rest of your day/evening/noon/night 📺🎤
