Grrl Power #1425 – Time jump well spent
So this may seem like a bit of a jump, because it is. Basically I realized this quick little jaunt to the tournament had already taken about 4 times as long as I’d intended, because as long as I’ve been doing this, I’m still terrible at self-editing. So I decided to jump past Cora and probably Sydney meeting with Cora’s guy who places proxy bets for her, which would lead to Sydney getting distracted by the guy’s bodyguard lady and some side story or something, so instead Sydney zoned out on space-fiction.
This a dangerous environment for Sydney. She suddenly has access to ten quarillion hours of new media. Granted, a lot of it wouldn’t be interest to her, like if some race largely only creates content on par with Noh plays or something. Not exactly Sydney’s cup of tea. But I hear the Alari version of Ugly Betty is… well, kind of dire, honestly. But the Woof version of Ghosts is pretty good and the Mentellan version of iZombie is great, only it’s not Zombies, its iCoreWardHiveDrone. (Someone has been licensing Terran media to the galaxy for over a decade now. Gee, I wonder who it could be.)
This scene happens about a day and a half after the night of size-mismatched partners brought together by alchemy. Cora and crew finalized Maxima’s disguise, dropped her off, placed bets, all that good stuff.
Here’s one of Gaxgy’s in progress shots of the painting Maxima promised him. Weird how he draws almost exactly like me.
Made some good progress with the picture this weekend. I need to finish up the platinum bikini and the background and do the mini-comic, but I should actually have this one done in time to start working on the one for next month maybe! Woo!
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.





Oh good, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who was wondering about the sandwich lady getup
Did you know that French maids never actually dressed like French maids? The style is an artifact of the British theater’s idea of how to dress up the stereotype.
my dreams are crushed
Just like how the black-pyjama wearing ‘ninja’ were originally stage-hands in Noh plays
Kabuki stage hands not Noh stage hands for the alleged “nija” pyjama
Knew it was one of those things (was sure it was Noh though… )
And now it’s the standard attire of a very popular type of theme restaurant in Japan.
I think the big gray robot with the M on its visor is Maxima.
Quite possibly – that “M” is either a clue or a deliberate red herring. Though I loved the suggestion that she’s actually disguised as the pixie. Rule of funny and all that.
So we have Space Barney, Space Orko, Space Robot (from LiS), Space Iron Monger, Space… Golem(?), Space Eldritch Cultist , Space Fairy, and Space… uh… Gray Alien on Steroids? Maybe he does Space Crossfit.
The vote incentive thumbnail gave me 80s flashbacks, the good kind…..what if Gaxgy did an homage to Artdeco artist Patrick Nagel(fashions and all)and did a whole serious on the rest of the team?
As long as Hiro and Math are included
