More from the_gneech
Christmas presents are on Shady this year.
...Also, the kobold king called, he wants Santa to put her on the "Naughty" list.
So yeah, this is Shade-Of-the-Candle, or "Shady" to her friends. I had already been noodling around with this idea for my next D&D character, and Catra from the new She-Ra series inspired me to go ahead and flesh her out some. She's a chaotic neutral swashbuckler, an adrenalin junkie with no fucks to give, whose motivation basically boils down to doing all the things people keep telling her not to. (Of course, I am not a jerk player, so her CN alignment etc. are not excuses to wreck the game, merely descriptors.)
I love my little problem child. <3

"Mercy is my Natural Twenty smacking you on the shoulder instead of the nose." ^_^ I made that one up! O aye, I was right! Snake is the fellow played by Kurt Russell in Escape From New York/L.A.! (I somehow was reasonably sure you weren't referring to the fellow in Metal Gear Solid. o_o) Yeah, very Mad Maxish, depending on what stage of Max's development (he was a savage bastard in the first 1979 movie, especially after his wife and kids were killed and what he did and how he did it after that) the character was in. I don't know about 'The Road Warrior', but I think by 'Thunderdome' either the writers of the 'final' movie in the first three instalments or simply the way Mel Gibson portrayed Max, wanted to give a bit more of a 'family-friendly' feel to the character (sparing 'Blaster', even though Auntie killed him anyway; sparing the mutant dying under the gasoline tanker, or just being more of a father figure to the 'tribe' of kids) compared to what he'd been in the first movie.
Snake (in Escape to), at least in Escape From New York, which I have seen before, always had a 'Duke Nuk'em' (if you'll permit me saying so) feel to him, even though Duke (presumably) prevented the multiple alien invasions of Earth, rather than Snake having been living in a post-apocalyptic world (per se) for some time; Duke, through the mild crudity in 3-D, and the much cruder Duke business in 'Forever', still maintained a certain light humour to his behaviour, something that suggests a deep (or former deep) love for life, like in the case of Snake Plisskin. Without that, you couldn't laugh in the midst of horror now and then. I think, despite Max's transformation during the three Mel Gibson instalments, he'd long since given up on that.
May I take a moment to say that Tiffany is one of the earliest, and loveliest big huge Siberian tiger ladies I remember admiring from afar, a very long time ago? ^_^ She was a part of the inspiration for my own Jasminder (a Siberian weretigress) in more recent years. :) Thank you very kindly for posting back, ami Gn!

Hee!s. It was a treat to have Drezzer Coyote do a guest-starring in Carpe Diem as Ken's Uncle Drezzer, especially since I'd known of him well in your Suburban Jungle comic quite a while before that. And somehow I sense some cross-pollination, character-wise, between your excellent semi-mute cheetah engineer (who spoke in equations, frequently) and Rodney (Josh the Giraffe's cheetah roommate) in Greg's comic as well. ^_^
I have to say, Tiffany was one of my first fan crushes in Furry proper once I'd gotten online (November 2001 being when I got my first persistent ADSL connection) and within a few years started following a number of webcomics, one of the first being 'The Suburban Jungle'. She was both appealing then and had more recently inspired the creation and development my gentle titan of a weretigress, Jasminder, because she was a huge anthropomorphic hunting cat that was exceptionally gentle and emotionally positive (and not in a few ways sensitive and responsive to the subtle emotions and behaviour of the furs around her). It was easy to empathize with all of the characters you'd developed, Gneech, because not even one of them were cardboard cut-outs or walking tropes or stereotypes: they were whole, well-developed, and acted like I imagined such critters would IRL as both humanoid animals and sentient persons both and meshed together. A written work of my own that is very dear to my heart, which I've been working on for a while, got its gestational inspiration all those years ago because of your comic and characters, ami, and I'm very grateful for that. ^_^
It's a pleasure to have met you here, amongst the many artists and writers whose work I've enjoyed, that I've finally gotten to know in person here! ^_^ Have yourself an excellent one, and again, thank you for sharing your work with me!
