Inktober 05 - Long

"Brom, The Engineer Supreme, looked intently at his work. He paused for a moment, thinking while he raised his long nose slightly. How long had he been in charge of The Tower's maintenance? Decades? Centuries? It was hard to tell absorbed as he was in the daily tasks he performed. He shrugged and went back to his machines, vaguely remembering the feeling cool air on a summer long past outside the steel walls."

#inktober day 05 proposes the keyword "Long" and of course, I turned to this iconic character within my tale. Another design I didn't have to reboot too much, merely update.
Brom was always one of my favorites inside the Tower. His quiet demeanor and almost unparalleled skill in making things work, always struck me as a bit sad. He is, after all, alone in a level full of machines and robots, entirely dedicated to the running of the whole monolith. It can be a lonely life but the Engineer certainly chooses it, despite being quite affectionate to any visitors, especially The Guardian.

One of the bits I love about creating your own world is that you can come up with all sorts of amazing tech and gizmos for every occassion. Especially when you're dealing with sci-fi and this character is practically inundated with those

One more down and things are looking good for the rest of the month. I hope you're enjoying and thank you for watching as usual!
