Description Hey gang:

Finally getting around to posting this character design for Boss Inosaka - the fiendishly powerful and wicked Chief Officer of the evil Thompson Corporation.

She also happens to be one of the main characters of the Tickling in Space: Inosaka's Paradox comic that I had the opportunity to work on with the great and amazing

The entire comic is available now at MTJ Publishing, including an awesome copy of this image colored by the incredible Scavenger!

Please let me know what you think of her.

I was trying to make her seem almost like a cybernetic mythological creature...half woman, half machine super computer.

Thanks for all the support,

The Deeto

My favourite of all designs for Inosaka's Paradox! I very much doubt I myself could have come up with a robotic boss design as sexy as this one by Bandito... at least not one that would fit that well in the TIS universe!

Seeing this line-art I just had to do a coloured version, which is, as Deeto already said, included as one of the special bonus pages in the comic (shameless advertising )

Awesome work, my good friend!!

TheBandito In reply to Art-by-Scavenger [2009-03-09 21:52:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I very much think you could have come up with something just as cool. After all, Inosaka herself, or all of our first comic would not be anywhere near what it is if not for your amazing skills.

I really do love the colored version you created. It's one of my favorite non-tickling images from the entire comic!

And with the incredible scope of this comic, that's saying a lot.

Well...perhaps. But I must admit I struggled a bit with my own design ideas... I was at first thinking to do something along the lines of the "false Maria" robot from Metropolis, but then you came along with your design, and I was so utterly blown away by it that I just had to use it as it was!

TheBandito In reply to Art-by-Scavenger [2009-03-12 14:57:44 +0000 UTC]

I love that character from Metropolis.

And I'm certain that your character design would have been dynamite! But together we are stronger...together we are Scaveeto!

lmao.

A great character design Bandito. Otherworldly and somewhat intimidating, it really looks well done. You and Scavenger really did brilliantly with the comic.

Thanks so much, my good friend.

And thanks so much for the kind words about IP. Scav and I are hard at work on issue 2, and I can already tell you that it's gonna be even braver, sexier, more exciting, better written, and better drawn than IP.



Take care, buddy. Can't wait to share the next project with you.

I'd say she's more half-human, half crazy Indian god. Which all in all makes for a pretty cool character design.

Definitely a lot of mythological influences on this one.

Hey thanks man.

Yeah - I definitely looked to mythological influence on this one, and tried to combine it with high-tech.

She's handy.

My pleasure It really shows us how versatile you are, which is really one of the coolest things, in my opinion, to see now and then from a consistent artist.

Excellent line art as always, my friend.

Any chance we might see a version with Lotus' magic touch applied..?

Thanks so much, good buddy.

Lotus was thinking very seriously about adding her colors to this one, but my creative partner on the project: Scavenger, did a colored version instead which is incredible.

That colored version is available as a bonus illustration with out Inosaka's Paradox comic.



YAY!

That girl sleeps like a jungle cat.

But she's been working hard on our latest project.

Come to think of it, she also works like a jungle cat.

*looks suspiciously over at colorist, trying to spot a concealed tail*



Thanks my good friend.

That is incredible. I've really wanted to learn the build up on cyborgs and I find them so hard, but from this piece, it looks like you've created something from the snap of your finger Big B. =3

Everything in the picture is so precise and symmetrical.

I seriously don't know what else to say. You always surprise me with yet another great piece of art.

TheBandito In reply to HomunculusLover [2009-03-08 15:54:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much, Sweet K.

I haven't had a lot of experience in the cyborg world...and just jumped right in with both feet to try and create Boss Inosaka. A huge motivation for me was that my artistic team mate for the project: the mighty Scavenger - is incredible at tech illustrations. So I new I'd really have to push myself with this one.

Thank you so much for noticing, and for the very generous comments.



Your the best, K.
