Spent the past few days working on this—behold, the Bordergrams cast! …all of them! Yeah, this book has a really tiny cast :P
Artist commentary under the cut—and this time, it’s spoiler-free!
Agent B: This book gives no descriptions of its cast, so I basically had to make everything up myself—and, well, what was I gonna do, not take the opportunity to give B red hair? I searched up “spy costume” on Google and gave B what I thought the coolest one was. The orange, however, was entirely my addition—I think it’s fitting, since the cover of the book is orange ^^ The glowing thing he’s holding is the Spark—a remote bomb detonator—and the singular glove is the oft-mentioned flamethrower glove. Or maybe it just looks cool, who knows :P If he looks a little bit manic, good. ‘Twas the idea XD
Ty: Not much to say here—the book says he wears purple and has peace tattoos, so I drew that. The freckles, I did because they looked cute, and I just figured he’d wear sandals. Or at least open-toed shoes in general XD I also decided to redo his hair a little, hence the braided bob…which I am NEVER doing again, because holy SHIT, drawing all those braids took forever. Hey, it came out nicely, I think XD
Ripley: Funnily enough, both Lunar and I imagined her with an undercut XD Her outfit might be a bit too casual for a spy, but hey, she’s got the boots, and the fingerless gloves, and the belt :P Much like how B has the Spark, Ripley has the Spectra-Stunner. It seemed fitting, for…reasons. Also decided to give her a communicator, her being B’s Mission Control and all.
Lee: The book seems to imply he’s the closest to a “traditional” spy in the Division (just a bit more manic, but then again everyone in the Division is), so I went with that. Classic attire: tuxedo, gloves, the works. The sunglasses made him look intimidating, so those were a must, and he carries the very effective spy gadget of “gun”. I dunno, that pose just seemed to suit him (even if I don’t entirely like how the hand with the gun came out—in my defense, I’ve never drawn them before ^^;)
The Director: Given that the Director probably isn’t going to be going on any missions, I figured his outfit would prioritize intimidation (and protection in the event of an assassination attempt) over practicality. Hence, this! It should never be worn in the field, but it doesn’t need to be. It just needs to be threatening. I kinda gave the cape a subtle butterfly wing motif, for…reasons I can’t actually explain because spoilers ^^; The helmet wasn’t originally supposed to have horns, but it looked a bit bland without them—it does, of course, cover the man’s entire face, so you can’t see the person beneath. (He also wears gloves, but his hands are behind his back. So he is COMPLETELY covered up.) Further info…is, unfortunately, classified. Complete Bordergrams, and access will be granted 😉
Some of the many instances where Jimmy and Agent Lee hooked up around Autopsy, usually during work hours...cue me low-key, scratch that, high-key judging them for even being remotely capable of being sexual in Autopsy...
literally me every single time they hooked up at work:
FFS guys, this is exactly why Jimmy was written as Pimmy Jalmer in McGee’s book...I’m calling it. You get hot and bothered in Autopsy and this is why McGee did that to you Jimmy...
