From a few days ago, actually. Drawn while hanging out with Ashy watching some Red Dwarf.


Drawn while watching a sort of biopic on Goya.


Drawn during the same biopic. Based on some discussion with postrodent of a revision of a Puzzlebox character. The mech is stupidly dangerous and makes her more than a little crazy - but she wears bright colors and she has fun! (PS: Have you seen this on the wiki, Rik? It might spark intro plot fragments or something.)

I have some decent mental models for cat faces somewhere. I just never have much occasion to use them until now.

Originally that was going to be a single page, but the scribbles that became the mech weren't imposing enough. So it sprawled... and, of course, quadrupeds are just sexier sometimes!

Especially when they have tails full of BOMBS. A good flick and you could probably toss one or all of those a couple of klicks. I picture it arranging itself in a sort of squatting position, infantry-cats in armor loading up its tail for salvo after salvo. Then, before the smoke has cleared, it roars off to eat whatever's left, crunching broken tanks and dead bodies indiscriminately, smelting it all into more munitions in its steely bowels. I generally like my technological violence a little more removed than this, but this thing is cool. :)

Incidentally, I *thought* the stripey one looked Rezzy-ish, but wasn't quite sure -- something about the ears. Hot, tho. You just want to to collar her up and violate the terms of the Deimos Conventions with her. Rowr.

Any large tiger babes in collars are probably some form of Tigress, this one included. She kinda got squashed up against the top of the page and I did weeeird things with the eyes. I really need to study actual tigers for a day and make my own shorthand.

The tail full of bombs was a bit of an afterthought. "It needs a tail," I thought. "Tail needs decoration." And it was large. And the bombs just... appeared.

It's like some giant feral beast that lives for one purpose: making war. Destruction. And yet this pretty little slip of a girl drives it for her own ends. It's just a game to her and maybe it's been rewird and patched-over so it thinks its all real, even though the bombs only explode into clouds of glitter...

Not only are all its weapons glitter-loads, but when it thinks it's crunching up its defeated foes, it's actually just LICKING them like a giant, mechanized, deathdealing puppy-bot. :)
