This is a commission for a friend of my alien character Trrtn (also spelled Trriten for the pronunciation-impaired) surrounded by Frrshlts (just sound it out, you'll figure it out). Trrtn is from a race of aliens I made up called the Frrsh, and they have the ability to "dissolve" into about a hundred of these tribble-like hairballs with tiny bouncing legs and huge teeth. I like to imaging this dissolve sounds like someone twist-popping bubble-wrap.

She 'd asked for the scene to be reminiscent of Lacus Clyne surrounded by Haros in Gundam SEED, and as I am completely GS illiterate, I turned to Google Images for help.

My son Matthieu graciously lent me his Blow-Pens so that I could do the background, The colour set is pretty limited, but hey, I got that airbrush effect!

More on Trrtn can be found in an old comic I used to do with friends at work (wow, back in 2003): http://kantharasloft.net/space-pirates/. It's one version of her.
