#to quote struthless: perfection is not the way - its IN the way

i'm afraid chapter 2 of icarus is going to be at least in part in comic format bc there's just so much stuff to describe and it's easier for me to draw it all than write it??

not that this is easy by any means (again: STUFF! so much of it! and character designs on top of that, and trying to keep it all consistent) but i've been having an absolute BLAST this past week drawing the characters, the clothes/uniforms, the space suits, even the environments and the mechanical stuff and now i don't *want* to stop.

all of this is going to be a bitch of a challenge, and only in part because i've never done long-form comics before. the biggest hurdle is going to be figuring out the most time-efficient way to stylize and shade and/or color stuff. because let me tell you, this shit takes ages. AEONS. FOR-FUCKING-EVER. and i want things to *look good* but i also want to get them done in a timely fashion. i'm gonna have to get good AND fast at the same time, and more importantly get over myself and accept that done is better than perfect and good enough is, well, *good enough*.

if you've made it through all of that, there's a treat for you under the cut :)

this is the most complete of the character profiles i've done so far. i'm currently working on the other main characters (pete, porsche, and kinn) and i'm also doing character profiles for the secondary characters. i've done six of them so far - vegas included - and i plan to draw a few of the minor characters too, mostly because some of them are ~alien species~ and trying to find a balance between their human and alien features is fun.
