been thinking about Them and an alternate universe where the books were written by gay ppl 

[mattiebluebird]

[cracks knuckles] ok SO

This idea came to me as I was thinking of genetic experimentation and how it's incredibly hit-or-miss, and even the smallest variants -like, say, breeding a chicken that lays a lot of eggs- usually take generations to successfully make.

So... where are the rest of the Avian-hybrids?

This quickly evolved into an AU where Itex is a government company trying to make supersoldiers. They've been experimenting for decades now, but every hybrid either dies in adolescence or has so many defects as to be useless. The Flock is pretty much their last hope before they run out of funding and have to shut down.

The place where the Flovk lives after Jeb "rescues" them is actually a vast testing facility where Itex monitors the Flock's fighting skills in a controlled environment and so on and so forth. It's fine, everything is going great (for Itex), until-

The Flock escapes. Not only does the Flock escape, they escape about two weeks before Itex planned to officially call the Angel Experiment a success and present/sell them to the military.

Enter Double-Oh-Seven, AKA Tyto Recall. A freak accident from the early stages of experimentation who somehow managed to survive, though not without a heaping of health issues. They've been "in charge" of monitoring the Flock for the past four years. So, Itex, being on a bit of a time crunch, puts them on the Erasersquad(TM) assigned to find the Flock and bring them back.

Oh, did I mention Tyto is the one who taught Max and Fang how to fly?

james patterson when he doesn’t know how to move the plot along

So Hawks character design has been bothering me for a while, I needed to draw her out so that I have a solid idea of her image. Please let me know if I missed any details (I refused to read that whole book again just to look for them). Also yes I know that her skin tone is Not Great tm but I don’t have a skin tone pack and this is way outside my usual colouring style, I usually blend many different tones on the skin to create the right look but didn’t do that with this, I wanted it to look more sketchy and imperfect. I like this one even though its pretty outside my usual style. Let me know what you think?

I knew not to expect much of the book but all I’m getting out of Hawk by James Patterson is that Max and Fang are terrible parents

i may not have finished maximum ride: forever but this is certainly my favorite page of what i did read just for the sheer audacity of writing in the anime girl part

Can we establish a real-life Coalition to Stop the Madness? Because right now we really need it.
