Yep, nobody said the symbiont found it morally repugnant…

I think it’s more likely symbionts manipulate their hosts into using them to get rich and powerful. A fool and his money are soon partied.

I love the 3-dimensional concept you have regarding the ship and the characters moving round in it. It is really as you have a 3D-plan somewhere you use for the continuity through the whole storytelling. It brings a metareality to your comic that is fascinating.
But yes, I do it because (I’d like to think) it helps make people feel they are more immersed in the world (plus it looks cool)

In this day and age of cheap 3d printing, ship blueprints and models could be turned into additional merch with relative ease. 😉 As long as they’re coherent anyway.

I use 3D modeling in my art too. But all it takes is looking at something like Windsor McKay’s hand-drawn work to put things into perspective.

Speaking of temptation. Let me ask, why would Symbiont suddenly like to change from symbiosis to antibiosis?

I can’t believe the symbiont nearly gave away the show there. It could have kept a lot of poor suckers from getting parasited. I don’t take Tesfay’s example of a happy ending as a universal here. I suppose now somebody else is going to have to learn how to turn the tables on a Silwellyian symbiont. I don’t care how ‘good’ they’re supposed to be. It talked its way into Tesfay’s life and for most of its ‘stay’ it’s been a pain in the fundament. SYMBIONT! SYMBIONT! SYMBIONT!
Say ‘no’ to talking parasites.

Given that he is now enormously rich and arguably powerful compared to the beginning of the story, bonus points if the symbiont was about to launch into a description of their first few conversations. 😉
Good thing he decided he didn’t want to know, I’m not sure if any artist could cram enough angst into his expression when he found out…

I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that Christopher literally *does* have 3-D plans he uses for the settings.
He does. I believe he painstakingly hand-traces them to get a uniform drawing style with the characters.
I recognize this balcony from a number of other scenes, notably the “skeet shooting” one a while back.
Many authors have extensive information that may never be released to the public. It helps enforce continuity.
Ha! Yeah, Rob and TB are correct, I do.
