Here I finally show something I had designed or Roka a long time ago: he prefers to carry his gun in a satchel holster. I thought it would be interesting to not have everyone carry their weapons in the same way, and a holster that could just be slung over the shoulder was cool to me. I figure he goes back and forth depending on the situation: sometimes he’ll have the satchel and sometimes it’ll be holstered on a belt.
When designing clothes and architecture, I try to incorporate telltale details to make them visually reflective of the alien races. In Kridik’s case, I put little tassels on the bottom of his skirt and vest to echo the look of his mouth and chin nodules.
Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to have this book in my hands.
That poor little Mexican cockroach. I really think someone needs to give him a hug.
I am enjoying this no end!
the bug guy looks so sad and pathetic in panel 3. makes me feel really sorry for him
Yeah, I thought it would be funny to make him really pathetic. I especially like his line that he just wanted to shoot them “a little.” Like that would make a difference.
??? The previously lively and scurrying root beetles are now all dead! How did that happen? Paralyzed by Roka’s wrath?
Not dead. Just resting. All that scurrying has to be pretty tiring. 🙂 Actually, I figured when the crate burst open, the beetles would all rush out and run off in various directions. But shortly after that, some would settle down. So that’s why these aren’t moving. It’s not total cut-and-paste laziness on my end, I swear! I considered having a few of them still moving around, but I actually thought that would be distracting.
A cartoon of this would be crazy fun
Agreed!! Please get on that immediately! 🙂
