Description
Created as an illustration for our How-To book (available now at Amazon and finer Comics and Book stores everywhere!) to create a comparison with the Telepath emotion sheet here:

We wanted to contrast two characters and show how different people express emotions differently. It would have been easy to go with Kid Quick or Singe, who have such big, over-the-top emotional ranges. We chose Quake instead because he's a great example of somebody who tends to do smaller expressions. He doesn't wear it all on his face, so you have to be more subtle with him. Until he explodes, I guess, but hey - don't we all?

It was also a chance to get used to his new hairstyle for Uniques season 2. We realized late in the game on season 1 that we'd given two of our leads not only the same hair color, but essentially male/female versions of the same hair style. It wasn't something everybody noticed, but it's a bad idea to have that kind of redundancy in your main characters. We thought this new style was a way of showing Quake taking steps toward respectability and adulthood.
