Description
Okay so the second 'Easter Egg'. I should probably stop calling them Easter Eggs because they are hardly secret but whatever. Happy Easter.Okay so the first page needs a little explaining. One of my friends is...emotionally dependant on otters. I drew him an otter based on the first GIS result for 'otter', if you want a comparison. He kind of liked it and so did I, so I loosely sketched a more geometric version for galactico-ation, but it didn't work out too well. Also, there are some sort of...haunting, rabbit skeleton things. I don't really recall drawing these which is pretty bad, but I think it was inspired by something. It looks pretty contrived.
Oh man did I tell you what first inspired Galactico, or more specifically, Alfonso? It's an awesome story. In fact I have a .psd lying about with an illustration, I will tell you later. It can be the third Easter Egg.
Anyway, I also did a little iGalactico, or an iPod if you want to be specific. I don't have an iPod, I have a cool singaporean MP3 player, but I was thinking maybe we could leech off the iPod's cult phenomenon. But then I realised a few things. Firstly, it's white, and we had hell of trouble with Hitler-San because of his white, white wool (Did people ge tthe white = innocent reference? Well done!). Additionally, Apple would sue the hell out of us, and we'd look pretty unoriginal as is, iPod's are ripe for parody these days. Most importantly, however, DAV DIDN'T KNOW WHAT AN iPOD WAS. I am pretty sure he is still confused, but what the hell? Talk about living in a bubble. But it sort of has earbud ears and a headphone jack tail, which I though was pretty cool.
Okay on the second page we have a sketch of a monkey, which I did pre-glen, pre anything. I thought it looks a bit too monkey like - monkey's are awesome animals and have been drawn before, and this looked too much to me like someone else would draw. Also, it's not really the galactico style. Also on this page is some scripting for the...third episode? So it's probably best if you don't read all that text. It's pretty hard to anyway.
Finally, we have a new Galactico! It is a new Galactico, and it's a girl triceratops. A triceratopette, if you will. We don't know her name yet, because I think it should be a japanese sounding name, not like 'John' or something ridiculous this time, and seeing as we ain't japanese, we're struggling. I'm sure one will come along when we're photoshopping her, but any suggestions are welcome. We both like the triceratops and she will definately be made in the next couple of weeks, either in Henry frog green or blue/pink combo.
So that is Easter Egg 2. I will get started on 3 now!

Ooh, I too like the iGalactico! And man, there could be so many possibilites for that! mp3 player skins, a mini Flash application (I think I've seen an actionscript to make a Flash based CD player... I think.), or any sort of Flash game! hehe I've had similar ideas (such as my virtual ducky pet) which I still plan on doing some time in the next 934980534095 years
sigh. Anyhoo, another batch of great sketches!

That ipod character looks really cool, I can just imagine some really high trebel J-pop coming from its earphones.

I forgot about the iPod's music playing capabilities!
There is some positive responses to iGalactico, so maybe he'll/she'll/it'll do a turn at some point.

That otter reminds me of the bear on Harvey Birdman.
I really love the design of the iPod character, but I understand why you don't want to use it. Too topical. Curses. How about a kawaii salad shooter?
Thanks for posting all these "easter eggs". I enjoyed them.

I will think about names
Let me know if there is a meaning you want for the name or something, or other Japanese you need to know~ (I am not fluent or anything though!
But I'm decent... >_>
