A drawing establishing the design for Aegis. He is a gold, cream and brown chipmunk with red hair, overly-intense blue eyes, and freckles. He wears a red hoodie with a badge, tan leggings and brown leather boots.

Aegis telling Thorn how much FUN they're going to have working together. Thorn's expression is about what you'd expect.

finally, I get to introduce this guy from later in the narrative :D

at some point, the city decides Thorn needs supervis- er, help. so they assign him a nice, fully-approved, younger, more competent, not-at-all-humiliating partner named Aegis.

Nero and Cindy, in swimwear, riding a wave of toxic waste swirling with debris and ephemera from the preceding lab explosion. The design is bordered with text that reads "UNRESTRAINED SUMMER FUN???"

A version of the "SICKOS" meme with Thorn in the window. The word "SICKOS" is crossed out on his shirt, and replaced with "DECENT PEOPLE", as he mutters about "Sickos..."

a little quickie test comic I did last year. I think Nero's a little too invested in this...

never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or Thorn how he got his title. XP

A small collection of pencil drawings of Commander Thorn in varying states of smugness, annoyance, disgust and embarrassment.

too real. you don't know how I wish I had "voice-cast" money, much less "animated series" money. sometimes comics will have to do, man!

I'll be gradually populating this account with backlog over the next few days. I hope y'all enjoy these guys; they're all just a little bit insufferable. :D

Expressive medium shots of Nero (pulling a big lever and laughing maniacally), and Cindy (looking eager for a bomb to go off).

Commander Thorn, a smug, douchey-looking gerbil hero with a blond coiff, a green leotard and utility belt, and a shit-eating grin. He's in for a lot of pain.

Commander Thorn is the city’s specialty hire for managing Nero and Cindy's antics. Thorn is vain, self-important, and SURE he's destined for better things than... whatever this is. (he's not, if you couldn't tell) He also has a talent for embarrassing the mayor almost every time he's called on.

Cindy is Nero's rock: a scary, theatrical femme fatale with a strong taste for gunpowder treason and plo--, er... explosives. Think of the pair as a frightening woman with a tiny, angry purse-dog.

Nero is a neurotic little brainiac who's dying to be taken seriously, and has a huge chip on his shoulder about being so... unimposing. 🐁

Introductory portrait of Cindy (a curvaceous, sinister, maroon-colored jerboa in a flame-print leotard) and Nero (an unnatural-looking cyan chinchilla in a hazmat suit and goggles, with bulging yellow eyes and crooked whiskers).

Nero (alias: Dr. Neuro) and Cindy (alias: Incendiary) are mid-tier supervillains in their 30s who are doing just well enough to hold their own in the city, but just poorly enough for it to be embarrassing.
