Description Suddenly Nero arrived in the lab, shouting something about the machine. Axley jumped and spun around, very much alarmed. He held up his long hands. "Nero, Nero," he said calmly, "We are all on the same team here, are we not?"
____________________________

This is an illustration of a casual/mini RP we did on New Year's Day. [link]

Slate and my Axley were working with DNA near the cloning machine, and even though they weren't using it, Nero got very upset with them. He's very protective of that machine. He also might be hiding something...

Anyhow, this took about 3 days to make, from drawing the lineart to finishing the coloring finally. :/ I'm very pleased with it.

I think Slate looks a little too much like a dinosaur, though. *cough*i have no idea why*cough*

I think Nero came out great, especially since I had to draw him at a 3/4 view from behind.

Then it took me a lot of sketching to get Axely's arms and hands in the right pose. Gosh, he's such a humanoid character. When I draw him I can't draw paws and get around the hands, lol.

The background really drew on my knowledge of perspective, but I like how it came out.

Also, I did not draw any of the robots because they weren't really affecting the story, and stuffing them in the drawing would not be necessary. Furthermore, note that I changed the clothing on all three characters slightly. I wanted to draw Nero's hind paws and Slate's lizard feet. Then I gave Axley jeans because I wanted to. XD

Drawn on paper with a mechanical pencil.
Color added in GIMP with a Wacom tablet.

Detail and shading, I love you so. This Axley seems like a pretty chill guy, yup. On a completely unrelated note, how do Nero's claws not rip the surgical gloves he's wearing? Are they super-strength? Or does he simply have a string of glove-related incidents? These are the types of questions that bother me at night.

Thanks.

Yeah, Axley's pretty reserved. And I'll have to ask the other RPers about the gloves, because a lot of the characters have gloves, and I dunno how they quite stay on either.

"These are the types of questions that bother me at night." LOL, goodness, you made me laugh with that. XD

as of yesterday, i tried to fit it in, as if it happened, but i couldn't fit wolfstar991's idea on the break in of someone who wasn't one of us.

Yeah, I thought that would go a little too far off. But I think the important part was the relationships of the characters. I know that Axley sees Slate as his only friend now, and that's good for the story. :3

This. Is. My goodness. I love this! This is amazing! The shading is well done as well as the poses! I really like the windows to.

My nero. You drew him perfectly. No mistakes on his design. And i love it that you removed his shoes XD Makes it look like he forgot them lol.

This is truly amazing! Lol. And it would be nice if we could fit our rp somewhere in the main one.

So glad you like it!
Yeah, I left out the shoes because I feel like having them not wear shoes reminds us that they're still mostly animal, at least physically. Also my Axley doesn't wear shoes because that would defeat the point on his opposable toes. XD

Well leaving out the shoes was a creative idea XD

wow that looks amazing! i think your change of clothing on slate actually fits her personality more! i love it! amazing detail. the background is great. i can't wait for our rp today!

do you think Xurnam and tanzy-tanz might accept our rp as real? i thought it went well.

Really? Wow, glad you think so. I do like her button-up labcoat, though
Thanks so much.

I dunno; we shall see this afternoon, I suppose. I don't see why our characters can't retain their growth and memories for the official RPs anyhow.

so you think we could somehow incorporate it into the main story?
