Escape

Running and shooting and all that

New Alex and Taj adventure! Our heroes barely manage to escape after being spotted in a small town in recently nazi occupied France where they were supposed to meet with a contact of the resistance who would give them further instructions. Unfortunately the contact failed to arrive at the meeting but still managed to send them a message with the heads up that allowed them to steal a motorbike and get out of there on time, though barely as they still had to dispose of some Nazis who chased after them.

And in the picture we’re seeing the last 2 of them tho to be honest I'm reverse engineering that story from the picture. I just wanted to do an action scene with motorcycles lmao.

Here we have Alex and Taj in a situation that allows them to make use and show off their respective special abilities as in Alex’s marksmanship, by her one-shotting an enemy while their both in moving vehicles, and of course Tak's skill behind the, in this case, handlebar proving again that he could expertly drive basically any type of vehicle.

This piece has been on my unfinished file for a couple of months but I finally got to finish it! 

This was done on both my PC and an ipad, I started working on it on procreate and the plan was to finish it there, but when it started to get more detailed than originally expected and the app started to get laggy I decided that instead of managing the resources I'd just finish it on the PC.

I solved it here with the gas masks but here I face a bit of an issue I've had before with this characters’ world and that is how to portray the nazis in a world of Anthros. I haven't really given it that much of a thought but I've come with a few solutions though I'm not completely sold on one yet. 

And while I didn't apply this one here yet, here is the latest one that I had. Making humans and having the world being one with both humans and Anthros a la Bojack Horseman or the bad guys. 

Now that I've been retaking these characters lately would be a good opportunity to reinvent their world a bit if I wanted to. Of course I think I would also have to make a new “recurring” character because it would be weird if only the bad guys are human. 

And while conceptually it works there's a bit of a problem with it, I don't really care for drawing humans. I don't hate it, I do it all the time in my job, but notice that very rarely for fun. 

I drew a batman once though, I think it ended up cool, I should post it one of these days.

So there's that but I haven't really ruled out that option. 

For the moment I'm focusing on these two adventurers. We’ll be seeing them again soon. I recently came up with a lore bit I'm excited about. And want to draw somehow.

It's a bit retcony but not too much.

After a long stint as their Mexican Revolution AU selves the dynamic duo are finally back in their original element doing what their original selves do best! :D I'm not sure about putting humans in this setting, if only because it would mean it's clearly a separate universe from the main setting and therefore Tak wouldn't be able to know elderly versions of Alex & Taj. XD In all seriousness, there has never really seemed to be any real 'rules' on the diversity of anthros based on location in any of your artwork so anything could be possible, though maybe having any Nazi villains be something like a narrow selection of European mammals and maybe avians could be a good option without being too on-the-nose like making the villains all humans or something. ;)

The Two Amigos ride again! Hope their adventure leads to the liberation of Paris! Regarding how to portray the Nazis in your world, you could go three ways: use strictly German animal species, make them all German Shepherds or do the Bojack-Horseman-shared-world thing, although for the last one that might entail that Alex and Taj's world is in another universe than all of the others you've made... and adding that there's a world where they are part of Pancho Villa's expedition, that would mean that there's in fact a multiverse!
