Man, I think that motorcycle has more trunk space than most actual cars I've had...

(Yes, the bike has dialogue.)

Gunwild: Yeah I may have spilled some stuff as a kid tryin' to lasso the cereal off of the top of the fridge, what about it? 

Psu: I never learned how to tie knots, maybe I should've have asked a cool cowboy for some help with that. Then again the closest thing to a cool cowboy I had was my 12th grade science teacher. But he wasn't telling us about k...

Our collaboration method is pretty strictly lifted from print comics, you know?

One thing I've become diligent about in my comic scripting is numbering the word balloons right in the script - or numbering sound effects, or whatever needs reading in its proper order.

It also makes it much simpler to refer to the script and see which words have to fit where during this part of the process you see Psu doing here.

Psu: Is this canon? Did this actually happen?

Gunwild: The problem with using a video game or puzzle or mystery to recruit somebody for an important job is that a lot of the time, you can test their skill but not, like... any inclination to actually do stuff.

Psu: Theira hates jobs. Unless it's shooting bad guys. Space computer head should have led with that.

Gunwild: Yeah but she's only got so long this eve...

Cassiopeia And... (Cover)

One of these women doesn't think she's the main character of a space opera. She is wrong.

Something Patreon-Related

This is actually a drawing getting cross-posted from Psu's other art Patreon, because it's a sketch of a non-Cassiopeia character, but with Prime Galactic Regency uh... let's say uniform. Equipment? The getup.

Anyway, Psu wanted me to make clear that all Cassiopeia Quinn related art and stuff will always show up here on the 2023-03-19 03:10:55 +0000 UTC View Post

Yeah, we're big fans of the manga "Yotsuba&!" and its general ability to portray the joys of silliness.

Gunwild: I don't actually take in a lot of romance stories, but yeah even I'm a sucker for "Person is spurred to make a declaration about their feelings even though the outcome is dubious so you know they're really, definitely in love" bits.

Psu: Just enjoy the moment. She's really pretty on this page, I knew I wanted to draw this right so there's maybe a bit of extra care here.

Gunwild: So I just have to make everything this dram...

It's fun to write when you can get a lot of different characters on a page together without having to write them a reason to be in the same place... art-wise I'm sure it's harder!

Gunwild: I dunno man getting bruises like that doesn't seem fun to me, but I'm also not a good fighter so what do I know?

Psu: They're not! At least not for my soft squishy fragile body. But there is a thing about hurting in a way that feels goo... ya know what. Let's not get into it. I'm gonna just start off by saying that I still don't know how to draw back muscles but I am constantly trying to learn!

Gunwild: Who wrote this stuff, it's starting to make me feel bad and I don't like it...

Psu: I was just gonna say, someone should throw a pie!

Gunwild: I think recently a lot of people have kind of turned on the humor-in-the-face-of-the-extraordinary thing that storytellers often fall back on, because they feel like it robs things of their weight or significance. It probably can.

Psu: Is that an oblique refe...

Nizka's Notes 2

Xenoanthropology - AI

Other well-known scales proposed by xenobiologists chart (or intend to chart) the development of autonomous machine intelligences. They resemble the ones we have for organic life in almost every particular, and jump to similar conclusions about what life’s aim in the universe is (or should be).

Nearly all of the ways we study artificial intelligence’s evolution operate on suppositions. The main one is that truly sentient robotic life will always find it p...

Gunwild: The last panel visually reads a little like Talps is distracted by the video game stuff going on, but that's ok.

Psu: They are pretty noisy. Meanwhile, holy wow I don't like how I drew Kettering's hair here. Why does it look wrong? I mean, I know what's wrong with it now that I see it. But why did I think that looked right at the time?

First of all, sorry there's not more done yet! But secondly, I should clarify that I actually don't usually start with putting in the text. But this was a relatively text heavy page, and that coupled with the time of day it just happened to work out that I copy the text over first this time.

I normally sketch the page out on my ipad during my work hours. But sometimes I'll do things like prep work before the main work hours on the desktop, where I can use my mouse, multiple...

Gunwild: Ugh, I can hardly stand writing horror comics. And that's what a performance review with your bosses is. Horror!

Psu: It is a rather heavy page. I haven't had a performance review in a while... well at least not a direct one. As my own boss, my performance review comes in the form of internet comments. Or... worse yet... ZERO internet comments. And in that event, I'm left to stew with my own worst boss, myself. And I'll end up saying things lik...

Psu: Oh man, are we already at this page?

Gunwild: Psu, you seem like you might want to explain what a rhythm game is and your thoughts on them.

Psu: Well... if I remember correctly it was a game where targets would move across the screen sort of like how Dance Dance Revolution arrows will fly around except you shoot them instead of dancing on them. The "switch" part would happen every fourth beat and you'd have to shoot the oppos...

Art Update No. 328

Psu: Nothing too fancy schmancy here fellas, this was basically just an early sketch that could've been the pinup for January. I like Theira's "Academy Outfit" a lot but I felt like the mood in this sketch was out of character.

Gunwild: I don't feel like it's out of character, she's just changing out of it so she can put on the sweatpanted uniform of the gamer.
