space vikings in space!! – rennegades backup

Another lineless drawing of my (second) favorite AI! So far so good on the not-hating-my-lineless-drawings front, so I may do up a couple more doodles of Samaritan this way before I start tackling harder things (like my favorite asshole of an AI Church-silon)

Explanation of this drawing: I started giggling about how the basic lines of her outfit reminded me of a few Sailor Moon OCs. I don’t recall if that was the intent when I redesigned her uniform last year, but that’s what it looks like to me now!

“I am an AI older than your civilization and you think you can just… rewrite me?”

Oh look Samaritan is back to looking like a rabbit girl.

Generally speaking, I come to dislike my lineless artworks within a week of posting them. Hopefully this is not going to happen with this piece. I mean, there are spots that I’m looking at while posting this and going “I could tweak that…” but nothing that’s leaping out and screaming “HATE ME! HATE ME!”

This version of Samaritan is not really Space Vikings Samaritan. This is just “generic AI Samaritan”. I don’t have a story (yet) for her. Well, except for the cuffs. That’s the representation of the firewall she’s currently trapped by.

edit: oh goddammit tumblr don’t resize it bigger for the dash. it looks bad that way :/

and then Commander C. Commander was like “sup bitches” and covered the Crotch Box for everyone’s sanity.

yeah, that’s kinda OOC for him but whatever.

New outfit for the Commander, seeing as I gave Nota and Samaritan new outfits. The good doctor should be next up.

Yet Another Redesign of Samaritan.

More fun with the Space Vikings before they were Space Vikings

Except wait! This is Samaritan. She’s always been—

I haven’t drawn any of the Space Vikings in a long while.

So of course I’m going to draw Nota (formerly “The Space Russian”)

This would be Nota’s outfit before adventuring and videogame style genocide outfits hir in proper viking-style gear.

Also, given the new changes to the plotline, the reason Nota doesn’t speak in anything but grunts and Sounds Of Rage has to do with being a beta player.

(fairly certain the only person who has any inkling of what I’m doing is Rue…)

oh look it’s a random space vikings art

Samaritan showing off her… hologram-ness…? I dunno what to call it. She’s the physical representation of the ship’s AI, although at one point she actually was a living breathing Lelapin.

aaaand another project from this afternoon

Space Vikings IN SPACE!!1! was a webcomic I worked on with some friends back in ‘08. The comic eventually bombed and died, but I occasionally come back and mess around with the character designs.

The cast has gone from “seven humans, the spacerussian, and the bunny girl” to “three humans, three bunnies (lelapin), three horned things (kooma)”

and while I mentioned earlier this year that I wanted to go back and restart SVIS, I didn’t have any sort of plot idea.

Now I do.

edit wow I did not realize there was such a huge difference in colour between my tablet and my computer. Fascinating.

It’s Commander C Commander! Yaaaaaaaay

so yeah this happened. Apparently I am starting Space Vikings in Space again?? and everyone knows that starting Vikings over means the good Commander needed to be drawn again.

Really I just like drawing him. Nothing on the crotchbox for the moment, so instead you get a censor bar. It’s probably for the best.

obviously this is done in MSPaint. I’ve got SAI and CS5, but for some reason paint seemed the bestest.
