So I started adding navigiation buttons to the comic whiiiich took me the better part of the afternoon, go figure. I also went back and added additional commentary, clarifying a few things, and just all around trying to make everything a bit less confusing. the "first" comic starts with "Father daugter bonding and goes through some of the preliminary sketching phases before delving headlong into the story, the reason for this being that they developmental sketches answer a handful of questions some people had and didn't know where the story really "began."

So enjoy Fox once again doing crazy things with a silly little passtime.


So one thing ive always enjoyed was using symbolism in my work be it through names, visuals or just items.

But names are my favorite if a bit obvious venue.

Take for example the three named Aliens of Titan's ship.

Richard Titan (or more acurately Titanium): First name after Richard the Lionheart, Ive stated before that had Richard decided instead to assume more animalistic apperances for himself and his crew he'd have been a lion. It's also a strong name i Personally heavily associate with Regality and being a leader. Albiet a cruel one in this particular case. And once again my unintended racism toward lions to cast them as villians rears its ugly head. Titanium because its unassumingly strong metal and many of the planets inhabitants from which they came revere metalic substances with reverence. I've yet to determine if they had "alien' names on thier home world, and they simply "translated" them.

Darius Steele, Darius has several meanings depending on what origin you go for, meaning everything from "posessive" to "king" I could see no better subtle name for someone who is based off of Starscream, who is also posessive of his titles and strives to be just that, an ultimate ruler. Steel, a strong metal but not as strong as Titanium he's still not as fragile as he lets on, bouncing back as often as he's been knocked down.

Garret Silver: Garret like many other names has more than one meaning. Two of which suit him rather well. "Gentle" and "spear holder" if you count a scalpel as a spear its rather fitting. When I was choosing last names for the three aliens I wanted Titan's to have the strongest metal, and Silver to have a metal that appropriately reflected his vanity. "Gold" didn't have the same ring to it and seemed too gaudy of a name, even for someone as narcisitic as Silver. i decided on Silver for more than one reason, its a more delicate metal, you don't, in your right mind, make weapons out of silver because its soft and an oxidizer which means it actively cleans wounds. (not unlike a doctor hah) The backing of a mirror is most commonly referred to as Silver and once upon a time quicksilver was used to make mirrors. And with Silver's Vanity being named after an ingredient in mirror-manufacture only made sense. Also Silver is almost excusively used for cosmetic purposes.
