The Body-Snatchifiers, Part 33
I wanted the sound effect of the bullet ricocheting off of Dr. Botz's face and giving her one exposed glowing Terminator eye to be "TEETOOOO!" but I was told that was too silly.

Gunwild: This one is important color-wise!
Psu: It's the first time we clearly see Admrial Senchel in color?
Gunwild: I think so. But also this is Brellomy coloring, isn't it?
Psu: Heh, I was being a little coy. Yeah, this is actually the first page that our friend Brellom did all the colors on. This was before they were flattin' pages, I just really needed a hand that night to get the comic out on time. Brell, at ...

"Lawyers" may or may not be what she calls torpedoes. (Liability reasons, you know.)
Happy Halloween!
And here's a less-texty bonus version!

Double WiP content this week to make up for last week! This is the earliest sketch for this month's pinup, dropping tomorrow night as a Halloween treat! The final looks a bit different and has a lil' skit at the bottom.
(Plus, there'll be a small sketch of Cassiopeia in this costume for those of you donating at the $7+ level!)

Psu: This page is full of tiny little details that I really enjoy and constantly forget to do again.
Gunwild: The holo-magazines are another good idea you mostly came up with, I'm pretty sure I had pictured this scene playing out with a boring "dataslate." But you liked the body language of her playing with a physical magazine, so we agreed that this worked. It's kind of unreasonable to imagine tactile magazines being delivered in the vastness of space any oth...

Psu: This is our second Smug cover right?
Gunwild: Yes, after the Lefyne one.
Psu: This is probably one of my favorite drawings though it does remind me I should've done more testing on how to draw bubble gum. It's funny but that's the one thing she never does in the main series.
Gunwild: Maybe it was prop gum! They're always giving you things to play with on photo shoots.
Psu: Heh. Here's so...

A smile that lights up the room. With the terrifying gleam of mania, I mean... but still!
There's actually an earlier version of this page drafted out where Motor Minx just gets face-slapped by Dr. Botz, but that wasn't high-tech and kickass enough...

Psu: We don't draw these characters nearly enough.
Gunwild: I don't love how exposition-heavy this strip is instead of being emotional, but the faces are good. And I would in fact read that book about that doggy.
Psu: I think it was a worth while aside trip though. They're important characters to the overall story but kinda hard to fit them into the moment to moment events. This tells us a lot about the both of them.

Flatting assistant Brellom had a different take on the dialogue for this page. What do you think? I like it!

Gunwild: This is a recent sketch. Hasn't become a pinup... yet!
Psu: Ah yeah, I mean... it's exactly what it looks like! Just a kinda sexy Cassiopeia changing out her normal top for some swim wear. I think this eventually just became the pinup with Min and Penny. Because I can never just settle for a simpyl sexy picture. It's gotta MEAN something!
Gunwild: It can mean niceness to look at!
Psu: It can also ju...

Gunwild: It amazes me how polarizing this one is, especially among people who don't normally read the comic.
Psu: Wait really? I thought this was like one of the odds out favorites? I mean... it's pretty much the most "Cassiopeia" you can get without covering the pants issue.
Gunwild: Yeah, but that's the thing. People who like it are probably gonna like the comic throughout. People who hate words like "nakiebutts" and silly giant burrit...

"FURY FROM THE SKY! CUT THEM DOWN!"
This is gonna be a good one...
As we've seen before, flat colors act as a guide for more detailed work, and may not always precisely resemble what ends up being final. For example, Maddy's gun probably won't be a hot red number, but it's easy to change that later while picking it out as a distinct object for now.

It's that time again - time to ask you if you wanna check out our newest pinup!
If you're donating at the $5 level or more, go check it out, and if you're not, please consider doing so. You'll also get access to all the previous ones, making it like, totally worth it.

It's that time of year. Miss Carolina is takin' us all back to school... especially those of us who didn't go the first time!
Psu: I remember we went on quite a while about the inclusion of the last two panels.
Gunwild: This is a good one. Did we argue over it or were we just not sure what to put in them?
Psu: I think we weren't sure about the necessity of them, or what they added. I can't recall exactly what the hubbub was. Or maybe it was missing the point by adding a twist there. But I think it seemed appropriate to say that both of them work really hard in ...

You can read this Cassiopeia Quinn update if you want... just remember to duck! And cover!
Of course the space battle gets drawn last. Because space battles are really hard to draw!

Gunwild: Now, if there was one Cassiopeia Quinn comic that I'd say I regret, it's this one. And that's despite actually liking the individual gags in it. I have complicated feelings.
Psu: Ah yeah, this one. Well it was tough to draw too. I remember we had some discussions about it. But it's also easy to say Cassiopeia's just a big exaggerator about things.
That top right panel is going to end up being the preview image for this page, I just know it.
You might notice that Theira's mandibles don't stay out for this shoot-'em-up bit... well, you didn't hear it from me, but it might just be that she's trying not to let her anger get the best of her.

"Poops just got actual."
Gunwild: I actually don't like that this uses the "talking to camera" conceit to just set up whatever the hell we want to do outside of a narrative context. I think that's overused. But I do like the actual strip.
Psu: This and the Burrito are a couple of the most iconic Cassiopeia Quinn strips. I think in that we don't use "talking to the camera" a lot, it works well...
