Unity Doodles
Shaenon: Random doodles of Unity. I’m pretty pleased with her design. Sweetheart is probably going to change a lot over the next year as I figure out how to draw her, but Unity and Tip are, I think, more or less set. Mostly, I just have to keep thinking of different hoodies to put Unity in.
Channing: Ad hoc captions that come to mind on viewing these…
Upper Left: “Look, guys, the microwave went sapient on us — and I made friends with it!”
Upper Right: “Restrictions on Internet use at work? I SAY ‘NO’!”
Bottom: “Charlie was close, but not so close that I didn’t have time to strike a bitchin’ pose.”
Derek Burrow (bard) says:
I like the bottom one. It plays up the “Patchwork Girl” aspect of Unity more than most of the illustrations we’ve seen thus far.
…also that *is* a pretty bitchin’ pose.
Jane Narbon (lady_madsci) says: Nice sketches.
Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says: Changes in Sweetheart’s design can always be retconned with references to Under The Rainbow. “The pearl is in the river!”
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
Is that a sword Unity’s carrying in the bottom sketch? Yeegads. The only thing worse than a zombie is a sentient one that knows tool use.
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
.. . . dammit, stop making characters i would go straight for. And are we going to see that sword again? I would really like to see that sword again.
Sean McLane (zodo) says:
Looking at these pictures just made me think of something weird.
It’s a good thing for Unity that whoever put her together had enough aesthetic wherewithal to give her symmetry in the upper torso.
Jeffrey Channing Wells (channing) says:
Sean: Unity always picks matching ones from her supply.
I will leave you with that image.
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
A cabinet full of boobs? So now we’re taking cheap shots at the Bush Administration?
BWWWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
*whew* … I’ve had a rough day moving, I needed that.
Wallace Good (good_the_third) says: I wonder when Unity will become less of a Mell 2. Not that I’m complaining. It turns out I miss Mell and I like being reminded of her. It turns out I miss the whole cast. I wonder when there will be cameos…
Sean McLane (zodo) says: It’s possible Unity has parts of Zombie Dave in her already…
William Tracy (afishionado) says: The patchwork on her upper body looks kind of like tan lines to me. š
