Description WELL I finally got these on one page! Attempts at finalizing character designs this past summer. I'm still playing around with colors and stylization (dear lord I need to figure out how to animate these), but otherwise these'll be the shapes I'll be working with.

Hmm hmm, let's make this a place where I can gather my thoughts on what I want to do with these characters. I feel very self-indulgent. PREPARE FOR STIX OF TEXT

The Penetrators are the 'protaganist' sorta band to the 'antagonist', Pussywhip, if only in the way Bon Jovi was to Motley Crue. A cleaner, media friendly band that's safer for the girl-ladies!

I'm gonna focus on both of the bands equally. Cuz the villian episodes of a tv show are always better than the hero episodes, yknow? But you can't have villians without heroes, even if the heroes are just as awful as the villians.

I am extremely embarassing and take direct inspiration from songs and band members. TRIGGER WARNING 70's and 80's dad rock. And boy band categorization.

  • Jizzi: THE CUTE ONE. Lead singer. Teenage runaway. Soft and squishy! Rubber bones n’ noodle limbs. Completely and happily immersed in the sunset strip scene. Likes processed gals: bleached hair and sillicone boobs and wax lips n' all that.

    Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood

    He was the first dude I doodled for this story, wayyyy back during a high school track meet while listening to the Dr. Feelgood album. Vince Neil in the total embracing of LA rock, Gene Simmons/Nikki Sixx in calculated persona and business ethics. Just plain 80’s G.L.A.M (GAY LOS ANGELES METAL – quoth dave mustaine). I really really really want to do a total revamp of this character though, he isn’t interesting enough for me to wanna even write.


  • Johnny: THE SHY ONE. Bassist. Orphaned alien parasite. Not so enamored with being a song and dance man. Drinks and cries himself to sleep every night, wakes up and barfs his guts out every morning (not just from the booze either!) Will probably sleep with you if you wait long enough backstage.

    David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy

    Clark Kent/Superman backstory mixed in with a liberal amount of Ace Frehley, Mick Mars, and Jani Lane. The unloved ones! I’m very happily taking from 70s David Bowie’s genderless pansexual alien sex god shtick as well, I’m so in love with that image and I want to push it as far as I can. “Do you like girls or boys, it’s confusing these days~”


  • Benny “Donut” & Jet: THE WILD ONES. Lead and rhythm guitar. Identical twins. Shredders. They keep in touch with their mum and pop. Ex-punks, got tired of people saying they weren’t TRUE PUNKS. One prefers dudes. The other prefers ladies. But they both really like this one lady stripper over at the Body Shop…

    Van Halen – Jump

    EVH, duh. Shredderooni! God, just fun party pop rock! Then you got some Michael Angelo Batio in there, I really wanted a character that could feasibly use one of his ridiculous guitars. Add a lil’ Herman Li for token asianness and more tasteless shredding, and Tommy Lee for frat boy party hardy shenanigans. Parental issues are gonna be a big thing for these two, gotta keep in touch with mama kin. Also, stripper girl.


  • Jack: THE MATURE ONE. Drummer. Hollywood hairstylist. STARRY EYED LOVER~. Too old to be playing around with the rest of the band after shows. Very picky with his groupies, would rather have regular lays. If he really likes ya, he’ll getcher number and call you up for a nice dinner when he’s in town again.

    KISS – Love Gun

    Soooo much Paul Stanley and Prince. A little bit of Keli Raven, because he's the only black dude I've ever seen in legit HAIR metal. Super flamboyant/flaming, but still gets all the girls. The kind of guy that would make my dad reaaaally uncomfortable, ‘cos he’s physically masculine but effeminate in behavior, movement, and dress. He's the newest outta these characters (so i gotta work on his story more), though his current visual design I doodled in high school hahah..


Oh yeah, there's a story too i guess. Can't just have random RAWK N ROOOOLLLL dudes running around without a reason. You gotta have some hella well thought out, deep meaningful introspective plot for pop rock musicians i guess! I'll find a day to write an excruciatingly long wall of text for that. Someday.

Jack reminds me of Marq Torien from Bulletboys. i97.photobucket.com/albums/l23…

Oooooooooh that's a nice comparison I hadn't thought of before, them spandex bicycle shorts.  I was thinking a whooooole lot of Paul Stanley and Prince, but Marq's got a lotta that sporty-glam thing goin' on too.

Oh wow, I can really see Paul and Prince now that you mention it. Those bedroom eyes and lips are really recognizable. 


The bicycle shorts seem like something you would draw. Bulging spandex crotches.

Yeah...yes...bulging spandex crotches...are my specialty...it's way cool that you could see other glam dudes in him though, it's always interesting to me to hear what other people see.
