This War is Only Mine to Fight-----------------

This battle's left me wounded,
So scarred and bruised for life;
But what is war but conflict
That has grown up out of strife?
I won't let them overtake me --
I'll push on with all my might,
For this war is only mine to fight.

It's only mine to fight;
'Cuz no one understands
What I'm fighting for,
And though it's in God's Hands,
This war is only mine to fight.
This war is only mine to fight...

They can take away our freedom;
With one word can take our life,
But our faith and hope is stronger
Than the power of the knife.
When it looks as if they're winning,
Grab my hand and hold it tight;
For this war is on

NTG Industries : Introducing WALL-Eby ~VinDeamer

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Movies & TV

_{"Introducing WALL-E! (Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth Class)

The world's first general-purpose robot trash cubing machine.
You can own WALL-E today for 951,480 yen!"

--

I've wanted to do this ad idea for months now, but only just finished the project today. (it was started in August ) I wanted to give it a very anime-esque look - not full-blown anime, but it has elements of the style in it. the Japanese in it is probably messed-up as crap, but I did what I could!

For those who are confused, I have this way of crossing over Ratatouille and WALL-E where Nolan was actually the creator of WALL-E, and the founder of NTG Industries - a company that started out building innovative robots to improve every day life, but ended up branching off into many different facets, including medical science and even space travel. (Nolan dreamed up the designs for the space cruise ship fleet that would someday include the Axiom, the American ship. The western European ship would be known as the Epiphany.)

Long description ahead!

NTG Industries was the original BnL, and was founded in Japan, not Europe, which is why the ad is in Japanese. Nolan first presented his idea, as well as the prototype, for WALL-E during a prestigious robotics convention in Japan. The wealthy owner of several large companies liked the idea and Nolan's vision for the future so much, he offered to help Nolan start his own company, and WALL-Es were in production shortly following the creation of NTG Industries.

The WALL-E you see in film was indeed Nolan's prototype. When WALL-E's software was first written and debugged, there was a particular script that still appeared even after Nolan tried every troubleshooting technique he could think of. It simply went listed as "pbug". Nolan soon discovered that his prototype WALL-E had the tendency to copy what he saw (mainly human mannerisms) and had a personality! This obviously wasn't supposed to happen - his WALL-Es were built to do a job, not play around. WALL-E exhibited his personality quirks during the presentation at the robotics convention, to Nolan's embarrassment. Instead of critical reception, however, the audience ended up erupting in applause and was enchanted by the robot!

The "pbug" was a very rare occurrence, but Nolan predicted that the more the software was copied in order to make new machines, the likelihood of it appearing again in another robot increased. In all reality, every robot built using the mother software written by Nolan had the "pbug" hidden somewhere in their mainframe. Most never manifested the results of the bug, but by the year 2815 (date of film), nearly all of the robots exhibit the behavior associated with the "pbug" - that is, they all have personality!

Since Nolan never married or had children of his own, he entrusted his entire corporation to his Italian cousin Armani Linguini (Alfredo's cousin Romano Linguini's son). Thus, the NTG Industries enterprise was passed down through several of the Linguini generations. However, power was taken from one of the weaker descendants and the entire company was overtaken by Shelby Forthright, who ended up changing the ideals of NTG Industries, turning it into BnL - a company that essentially twisted and destroyed everything Nolan ever envisioned NTG Industries to be.

WALL-E, the prototype, would end up mingling with the other WALL-Es a long time after Nolan had passed on, and ended up being reformatted with the rest after the BnL takeover. He never forgot about his original creator despite the reformat, however. (Many of WALL-E's antics in film were copied directly from Nolan, e.g. the way he clenches his "fists" and taps them together when he is nervous, and various sounds such as his "yoo-hoo!" or whistle.)

So yeah, there's that story! 8D I'm really happy with how this came out, even though I practically had to re-do the entire thing. I bumped up the file size so I could work with a higher-quality file, so all my lines had to be re-drawn and everything. it was time-consuming, but definitely worth it!

Oh man, this would look so cool as a poster! Great take on the manga/anime-style. Do you know kanji or had to Google Translate it? Also, what's the font?

Nice backstory too. I didn't realise Wall-E shares some of Linguini's mannerisms (which in your story, Nolan must have observed his dad and thus 'taught' to Wall-E), but now that I think of it, it kinda makes sense! And the Japanese audience's reaction must have taken Nolan by surprise, but not unexpected with their affinity for humanised technology. I can almost imagine that scene alone as if Pixar had done that (the stunned silence followed by Nolan backpedalling before the applause).

The only criticisms I would have with this piece is that I thought Wall-E's claw was three ujpside-down plastic bottles at first (maybe render it more to look like metal?) and that there was no explanation as to why Wall-E didn't forget about his original creator despite the reformat (I suppose it's because he was the prototype, and hence the 'original' with the strongest memory?).

Domo arigato, Mr Roboto!

Thanks so much, Andre!

To be honest I can't remember what the font was! All I know is that I used some of the Apple defaults in Photoshop, because when I tried to download different kanji fonts and use them, they wouldn't work. Turns out I have to have some sort of version of Photoshop that's actually built to handle kanji fonts, which is kind of stupid. :/ And yeah, Google Translate came in pretty handy for me here, even though I probably screwed up the translation.

Well, Nolan's mannerisms are more a variant of Alfredo's but yes, they're very similar and WALL-E shares some of their behaviors!

As far as your complaint with the "plastic bottle" look, it was rendered like that in an attempt to make it look uber shiny and clean, like bright, smooth metal. Of course, everything on this poster is meant to be an exaggeration of the real thing, much like in anime or manga, which is why I chose to highlight his hands like that. C:

I imagine WALL-E had a very strong connection to his creator and never left Nolan's side while he was on the earth. Like you mentioned, he was indeed the prototype and also the first to "glitch" with the personality bug, so perhaps his memory was stronger than most of the other WALL-Es, who had really nothing besides local, immediate geographical and territorial data to compute and store in their memory banks. Perhaps, because he decided that he never wanted to forget Nolan, he stored those memories of him in one of the non-rewrite able portions of his physical memory, where they could never be overwritten.

whoa! how did you do those Japanese sign?

they looks so cool! i love WALL-E! it's been my favorite! <3

~VinDeamer Oct 25, 2012 Digital Artist

there are a few really basic Japanese kanji fonts that you get when you download Photoshop. I learned though that unless you have a Japanese version of Photoshop, you can't enable other kanji fonts besides the default ones. I would have used more interesting fonts, but I couldn't even though I downloaded and installed them to my computer!

WALL-E is tied with Ratatouille as my favorite Pixar movie. I love it so much, too!
