Backpack Repair Center

Backpack Repair Center_Acrylic

This an environment I created called the Backpack Repair Center. This place is located in the sky, and its purpose is to bring damaged backpacks here and repair them. The whole place is made from materials backpacks stolen from humans, or materials damaged backpacks bring with them. The damaged backpacks are brought up here with the hook seen on the left of this illustration. Once repaired, the backpacks can choose to return to the human world to their owners, or stay and help with maintenance of the Repair Center. If they choose the latter, the backpacks are granted feet, which allows them to move freely and no longer have to drag themselves on the ground like they used to.


Damaged Backpack

This is an example of a backpack suffering from the abuse of its owner.


Seeker Backpack

This backpack is a "Seeker" it works at the Backpack Repair Center. Its job is to find damaged backpacks around the human world (in their designated area) and bring the to the Backpack Repair Center.

All-Out machine

This machine is referred to as an "All-Out" machine, its job is to take out all the junk out of the newly arrived, damaged backpacks. This is the first step of the repair process. This machine has a special magnet that attracts everything from metal to liquid. This machine works automatically, it has a scale at the bottom which detects the weight when a heavy backpack is on it. The machine starts by clamping onto the backpack to avoid it from being attracted to the magnet. Once everything is out of the backpack, the machine no longer registers its weight and it automatically stops  the process. Any useful materials are kept and transferred to a different location for use; the machine's top has a propeller to allow it to move around this world. The garbage is dumped back into the human world, so if you ever wondered why a random animal or half eaten fruit fell on you from the sky, now you know why.

Backpack Hospital Characters

The next step is for backpack to go into the Backpack Hospital, where a nurse and its assistants (depicted above) will repair the backpack. The nurse will stitch and patch the backpacks as needed, it also holds replacement parts inside like zippers, buttons, and straps.

magical waterfall

Once the backpack is fixed, it is taken to wash in the magical waterfall. This place is made completely out of bars of soap stolen from humans, so if you ever wondered what happened to your bar of soap, now you know where it went.

Driers

After the backpacks are washed, they need to be dried. There are many driers flying around the Backpack Repair Center with the sole purpose of spotting wet backpacks and drying them.

Perfume Balloon

The final step is add a nice scent to the repaired and washed backpack. For this job the backpacks created a special Perfume Balloon. The balloons float all around the Backpack Repair Center waiting for a backpack to hop onto its swing. The balloon detects the weight of a backpack sitting on its swing, and the process begins. The balloon absorbs and filters the air around it and transforms it into a special scent (perfume). The two sides squeeze together to release the scent (perfume) onto the backpack.
