As mentioned in a previous posting, these panels
containing Mistress Tendril had to be extensively redrawn following my decision
to significantly change the appearance of the character. However this did
provide me with the opportunity to try out a few ideas as to what weapons she
would use during the stories.
Originally I'd conceived her as simply using
multiple swords, but found four blades really cluttered up a frame. I then
tried a single morning star and a laser pistol, but this combination did not really
seem to work either. I then thought that as I’d already drawn Mistress Tendril’s
tentacles, it would hopefully be fun if she simply battered and ‘suckered’ her
opponents into submission.
Ordinarily I usually draw my figures carrying a
scroll of paperwork when I want to illustrate the point that they have received
information. In the third frame I thought this would look rather ridiculous though,
as the Custodian’s spaceship would surely send down the results of any scan to
Galaxian in a more sophisticated way. As a result I quickly sketched out a portable
scanner display. Admittedly it is rather large and bulky, but I wanted the
reader to be able to see something of what was being shown on the device’s screen.
Air Force One is protected by an ECM Electric Defence Measures System. But if
Galaxian can teleport General Marietta aboard, then surely the Glooms can do so
as well..? And just how goes the fight with Tortoise-Shell Eddie and Sagittarius
against the alien invaders..?
