and the bike for the lock?

Bike didn't fit. XD

Thermoses are for people who drink their coffee slowly. ;D

I never would have guessed Ali as a Fn-2000 girl.

It's small, lightweight weapon! Also it was a gift. ;) (It's an FN P90, lol.)

I'm used to the Civilian naming of it. Plus, she should have at least 4 spare magazines. That 5.7MM ammo goes fast.

If you can, next time you are down south, have Kardi take you to a gunshop and see if they have the Civvie model to handle, gives you a real size comparison and feel for it. I've educated many an artist about firearm size and handling that way if they feature something like that.

I'm not allowed in the gun shops. *grin*

Great idea though, I think handling weapons gives you a far better understanding size wise and weight wise.

Oh? And why is that? Why verbotten in gun shops?

Because I always find a gun I want and spend money. XD

(I've target shot since I was a kiddo with my grandpa, and now I mounted target shoot.) ;)

Yeah, I hear that. Especially "Murphys law of gunshows" where you find what you really want, when you have no money.

Seriously, take West to a gunshop, let her fondle a few to get a grasp of size, look and feel.

Better yet, take her plinking someday.

I have no idea why but I really enjoy this! Maybe because it's like an visual character description using their own personal items. This is very cool!

That's exactly what it was meant to be! :D More show, less tell. ;D

ooooh a P-90?

dang skippy! :D It's a great gun, I love bullpup config weapons. <3

is awesome!

So... The technology is kinda like ours, but just a little more advanced? I like the clever and humorous little touches like the candy bars, the helmet with the proper hole in the crest, and the little Unicorn character on the "Smart" phone.

Actually, their technology is exactly like ours. :D All the items described here in this poster are actual objects you can find today, circa 2011. I'm glad you noticed the modification to the bike helmet, though! And the little sticker on the purple Nintendo DS case is none other than Rapidash, from the Pokemon game series! :D

Well... It's those little "Personal" touches that tell a bit more of the character's story and makes her less of a cardboard cut out. I mean Ali looks like a person one could relate to, even if her overall appearance isn't quite "Human."

Aw that's nice of you to say, thank you! Kardi and I have always maintained that even if the characters were all human, the story and personalities would still be the same. :D

interesting details to all the stuffs there.
Ali seems to be a "Holy Diver". at löeast it looks like a neoprene jacket thing to me.
also, you shed some thoughts into how a sunvisor would fit an animal-shaped head; not many artists bother to.
ankle supports, old Nokia celphone (to even out the distance between ears and larynx/mouth better, also good for large hands), hoof cleaner and furbrush, bicycle multitool... very nice. what is that little box right of the laptop? also, the car keys look like they belong to an older Honda. a 98 Civic, maybe?

interesting idea, and as we all can see, a good one, too. :)

Hm, I don't understand the context of 'Holy diver'?

Ah, and the little box is one of these: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images.....uL._SY355_.jpg <<--- Ali carries these around for Alex, to discourage him from smoking. ;)

And yes, the big car key is actually for Alex's car! He drives an 89 Accord, so you were right on the Honda fob, at least! :D

I'm glad you like it! There will be more on the way!

oh, nevermind. :) I'm a metalhead, and sometimes I think in song and/or album titles, making connections that shouldn't be there... which then, in this case, connects to this classic metal album: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BVr-Jp_hl9c/.....resdefault.jpg
interestingly enough the actual lyrics are more abstract and full of metaphors.
said jacket looked like a diver's gear to me, is all. ^^

ah, I see. good thing I never smoked, so I won't have to chew those sticks. ;)

ah, Accord is close enough. looked like one of those curious keys to me with that hinge. no idea what that one is good for... were people supposed to fold them down before shving the key into a pocket? tsk.
(myself I'm a Fordoholic with a classic 1974 Ford Taunus under my butt. and no, that's not a typo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Taunus_TC )

*peeks in*

That is an awesome car! Ahh, neat - how cool is that, you're driving a 70's Ford, and one that's not seen here in North America! :D

(I just had to say how wonderful that car was!)

indeed! we nickname it "Knudsen-Taunus" because Semon E. Knudsen's curious habit to fool around with car designs became way too apparent there. car testers back when lamented the collection of design tinsel and everything... they still sold a bit over one million units in five model years. not too many are left these days, and some spare parts are very hard to come by, especially interior pieces. but that won't make me go somewhere else. sitting down into my car is like coming home... every other brand is just an old car. :)

I am not sure, but the english version, Cortina Mk3, might have been sold in canada. at least Ford of Argentina built themselves a Taunus up into mid-80's. including a fastback variant of the Mk5 that wasn't built anywhere else...

That car is amazing.

indeed. *vroooom*

I still can't get over how fun these posters are

make a Red-Dye version! :DDD <3

Would be old receipts from chipotle and an empty wallet save for a library card and a vons card XD

don't forget your lucky condom

I had to leave it behind to make room for the vons card. I need my buy one get one free doritos deal
