I have to admit I love these three cattle rustlers. Design-wise, they seem pretty weird and alien, and I liked the outfits I came up with for them. I deliberately wanted them to have that South American/Southwestern US feel to their outfits and be reminiscent of rancher attire. Thus the banded ponchos and the cowboy-ish duster. Their hats originally looked much more like cowboy hats and sombreros, but I thought that ended up looking a bit too literal and out of place. After all, who would ever buy a sci-fi series with really strong Western outfits and themes? That would never catch on. 🙂

The first thing that came to my mind after your comment was Bravestarr. 😀
Looks like Ril can relax about the cold, things will be heating up any minute now…
*shrug* It could have been a reference to Firefly too. Sadly, that didn’t catch on, and the world is less for it.
I was definitely going for the Firefly reference. Definitely an awesome show that deserved a better fate than it got. But while it didn’t hit it super-big with the masses, I wouldn’t say it didn’t catch on. It certainly found a huge audience on DVD and with Serenity, so at least within the sci-fi/comic/geek crowd, it’s done really well. Everyone else just doesn’t know what they’re missing.
The eye designs are great- particularly the blue guy in the first frame.
