Description Based on Alphonse Mucha's 'Primrose and Feather.'

Though in this case I'd probably call it 'Ketchup and Mustard.'

I'll probably go back in and fix a couple things later. Red Hex's left hand is a bit wonky. But... ehhhhhh. I'll fix it someday.

Others in the series:

This is by far my favourite picture of Hex. I have this as my start up screen and the "Mucha 4" as the background on all my computers. I got them from Gavin years ago. To fess up, I created ReBoot and Hex was one of the characters I actually took from Brendan and designed myself. Love your work.

Oh, Mr. Pearson! This is so wonderful to hear - it's an honor to hear that this ol' art of mine (if it even can be mine... it's a just a copy of a classic, after all!) is being put to good use. Please continue to use it however you see fit. I never knew if Gavin had passed anything of mine along to you, or if anyone involved with the show comes across my stuff just randomly. I'm glad to hear she's got a place on your screens. You guys made a hell of a character, and I've had such a blast drawing her over the years. Thank you so very much for her, and everything else!Β Β

Please, it's Ian, not Mr. Pearson... I only look, act, and actually am old, but mentally I'm about 14.
Gav and me are writing a new series, live action, involving Dragons. When we finish the first first episode would you like to read it? I would love your feedback. Please bear in mind f you leaked it to anyone I would have to get Gavin to kill you. It's a top secret sort of thing, you know. If you're interested just tell Gavin, I imagine he has all your contact info and will be able to get the script to you. It maybe a while, we are in rewrite hell at the moment.

Love

Ian

Ah, the secret dragon project still lives! I would give feedback in a heartbeat. Gavin sent me a few screenshots of of episode one's first pages about... oh goodness.... 2 or 3 years ago? At that time he said you guys were heading into episode 3. I haven't heard anything new since, but I figured it was still in progress, and I've been deep into my own projects as well, so I haven't checked in as much as I could have. Sounded like you both wanted to get it pitch-perfect before shopping it around. If there's anything new that you're ready to share, I'd be happy to check it out. And definitely not spread it around, in order to prevent any Gavin-related deaths

Best!
Claire

Everyone competely over exaggerates what Bob and Dot had and forgets what actually happened.

Β 

For all her craziness, Hex always had a thing for Bob and was actually very sweet and loving to him. Such episodes like

Showdown
And not just when he was the good-looking Bob (something Dot failed to do). Even when he was banged up, battle scarred and when he was half deleted. He was really Hexadecimal's only real friend because unlike the other characters (expect Little Matrix) and other Guardians who believe that viruses should simply be deleted on sight, Bob theorized that viruses can be reprogrammed to live as Sprites and Hexadecimal was proof of that.

Β 

In episode
End Prog
With the System about to restart, Bob insisted that Phong give Hex an Icon (or PID) to register her with the Principal Office so she would be backed up. Mainframe restarted and a viral scan disinfected all the Virals, but Hexadecimal (with the icon) remained intact, remarking that the scan merely tickled.

Bob and Hex (whether in virus or sprite format) had such great chemistry together. She was the only one in mainframe that really greeted him warmly when he got back from the web… Dot just gave him a handshake and treated him the same.

Β 

In episode
Showdown
She clearly wants him as she kisses him and she even asked Dot’s permission if she could be with him
β€œSo, you and Bob are?”
β€œJust friends!”
β€œOk, just checking. I’ve always had a little thing for Bob and I-I didn’t want to get in way if you-”
β€œWere just friends.”
β€œGood.”

Β 

But she didn’t really need her permission at all. Hex wanted to become sisters (sis) but Dot was just an ungrateful bitch to her, she didn’t give her a chance, even after she helped bring back her father using Nulls. Hex wastes no time and kisses Bob again (for a 3rd time) and makes it clearly that she wants him. She would have done so if not for the clichΓ© moment of being interrupted.

Β 

In episode
Daemon Risin
Before she sacrificed herself to save him and everyone else she said
β€œBob, I have always loved you.”

Β 

Dot (the twit) really became a superficial bitch when she and everyone else ditched Glitch Bob because of his appearance, his new form reminded her of the negative times of Mainframe and after asking him to marry her.

Β 

She leaves him when a better looking version came along in episode
My 2 Bob's
To saying that there just friends, then asking him to marry her, then dumping him… this should have gotten Dot deleted from the system completely. But it doesn’t end there… to hold the wedding when he’s in a coma, and then not even go see him (to possibly say goodbye) after Turbo warns them that Bob is likely going to die… Dot almost makes the bad guys look good.

Β 

Then Bob crashes the wedding, almost dead on his feet and she's like "Yeah, I don't want you anymore", everybody can see how weak and ill he is, but their all like "can you please leave, go die outside." The only person to believe in him at the wedding or before hand was Enzo, and AndrAIa … but neither of them did anything to help him.

Β 


Dot loved for ages huh... oh please...

This is absolutely amazing. Hex has always been my favorite, and this does a great job of capturing both her sides. I'd really like a nice print of this for my wall. Maybe it's just because I'm a total noob, but I can't seem to figure out how to go about getting one. Please help me give you money for your wonderful art.

I actually have a set of 20"x30" prints of this Hex piece– I've thought about selling them at conventions in the future, but right now they're just sitting around. Would you like one?

A better title would be "Red Queen/White Queen"

Here's the question though. If Hex's viral form is the queen of chaos, does that mean her sprite form is the queen of order and decency?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

EmpressHelenia In reply to RangerWill [2011-11-06 22:38:11 +0000 UTC]

Decency? Au contraire! Remember the beginning of "Sacrifice?" I think that scene throws that title out the window. Not to mention the very nature of her outfit... Ahem.

I guess she had the 'decency' to ASK if it was okay to try and bang the guy Dot has obviously loved for ages and ages. But I think that's the limit of her decency. White Hex might look slightly more benign, and might appear a bit less insane, but she's still Hex.

I think Dot deserves the title "Queen of Order" far more than Hex, actually. Haha.

RangerWill In reply to EmpressHelenia [2011-11-07 02:15:06 +0000 UTC]

You got a point there. Either form, Hex looks like the madame in a brothel. And all things considered, Hex was giving Dot a message.

"If you can't get the job done, there's someone who will. Don't sleep on me sister."

And it's a crying shame Reboot went off the air before the story was fully resolved. I wanted to see Hex return.
