I should have put all the competitor’s names on that splash screen on page 1425, only I hadn’t thought of them at that point. I tried to come up with a name for Maxima’s arena alter-ego that didn’t sound like a typical Terran (feminine) name, but also didn’t sound stupid. “Ixha” seemed to fit the bill. Took me about 50 iterations to come up with it. I also thought it was dumb to call purple-zilla “The Ultra Mega Bio Weapons Entrant” so I fumbled around until I came up with what I thought was a vaguely clever semi-acronym.
I googled how much a “tanker truck full of steel” would weigh, which I figure is about the dimensions of that bat. The number I got was 500 tons, though the real number is probably plus or minus at least 100 tons, depending on what kind of steel and other factors. I’m not sure solid steel that dimensions would go “bong,” though. Probably a decidedly lower register. Possibly a “BUNG” or “BLORP.” The question is, how much does U.M.B.Rage weigh? Well, I don’t know how tall he is, and googling how much Godzilla weighs gives numbers all up and down the range, so I’m going to say 80,000 tons. That’s just a wild estimation based on nothing. An uneducated guess. But who knows what his kaiju bones and muscles are made of? So 80K tons it is.
Here’s one of Gaxgy’s in progress shots of the painting Maxima promised him. Weird how he draws almost exactly like me.
I’ve finished the main picture with the nude variant. (More like the clothing is the variant, because it’s easier to add clothes than erase them.) But I haven’t finished the bonus comic yet, so I’ll update the incentives soon.
Patreon doesn’t have a nude version yet, but I’ll try and update this each week until it’s done.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
