Description I had this thingy sitting on my computer for several days until I understood that I had to finish it now or never.

This is not exactly a lineup, because there are several important characters left out as well as all background characters. But it will do for now.

So, here we have (from left to right) A. McFael, Fred Feyn, Norton Commander, Pascal B. Winford, M. Keener and Amanda Theoren.

Maybe I should have told a couple of words about each of them, but I decided to put it off until I make an actual lineup and you are probably sort of familiar with them by now anyway. But you're welcome to ask questions if you have any!

...only not about the tennis ball. I have no clue.

You know, have you thought about joining the Artists At the Ready OCT that's going around?

I'm not sure about joining the actual OCT (time is very sparse), but I will do that meme thing for sure sometime.

Fred has the best possible character design. I think it's the teeth.

"Now, who wants to play a game that involves the exchange of massive spherical particles in a gravitation field and their deflexion due to electromagnetic repulsion at a manually positioned network of cord?

The winner's experiment gets extra computation time at the supercomputer!"

And I didn't notice McFael's shoes at first, but they surely match his bow tie. ^^

XDDD

I think if they decide to play tennis somebody will get hurt. :/

And yeah, McFael has some sense of fashion in his own way!

MORE TRIVTRUE! I must have done something good to wake up to this!
The best bit is how horrified they all are ar McFael's apparent enthusiasm. I love it.

Aww, thank you! Yeah, one of hazards of working together with McFael is McFael.

"I've done it! I've collected together some of the greatest scientific minds in the cosmos, each of them at the very top of his field! I have a programming expert, a mechanical engineer, a mathematician, a cosmologist, and, uh... that other guy."
"Looks like a great group! What are you planning to do with them?"
"I'm going to play fetch with them!"
"What?"

That other guy... is actually a girl. But it's okay because I probably don't draw her girly enough.

Amg! I want Amanda's hoodie! And waiiittt, what shade of brown is her hair?

We (meaning me) demand ref sheets at some point!

Still. This lineup is -delightful-!

Oly-RRR In reply to Liamous [2009-02-28 00:56:47 +0000 UTC]

D'aw, thank you! 8D

I call it the mousey shade. XD I didn't want neither exactly brown nor blond and I was always coloring her hair plain gray in sketches... so I thought some kind of really unimpressive color would do fine.

Lineup! Sure! After RS! (though I'll spam your inbox with some sketches before that too)

Fred: "Oh shi- it's gonna get me!"

Norton: "Hi there, Mr. Tennis Ball! Meet Mr. Wrench!"

What's scary is I think I know some version of most of these geeks in real life...

Oly-RRR In reply to QueenGwenevere [2009-02-28 00:35:48 +0000 UTC]

Scary? I think it's awesome!

Yeah, when I started working on this story I realized they all were representing several geek archetypes, but it was amusing to find out how much. I don't know any physicists personally, but I was amazed how many people working in control rooms and such look like my characters. Must be some radiation.
