WAKE UP BABES NEW ANDROMEDA ROGUE CHARACTER DESIGNS JUST DROPPED.

art taglist + random ramblings below because we know i love to ramble.

adapting Petra’s design to a futuristic space setting was hard to come up with, because all the sci-fi looks i could find for inspiration were like, sleek, shiny, with neon accents and random straps all over for some reason??? but Petra has a sort of simple, cozy, earthy style (because... plants). people kept saying she gives off Han Solo / Indiana Jones  (Harrison ford??? 🤔) vibes (it’s the vest, isn’t it) but then again. Han Solo is Star Wars. Star Wars is in space. so it’s a win i guess ??? her little holographic wristband is has a special app that receives signals from the plants she works with, so she can monitor their health and general stats. (i could ramble on about the plant tech in this wip but this post is gonna be long enough as it is. another time, maybe.)

for Finneas, the vibes i was going for are “bisexual space pirate”, with the popped collar and the dress with the low neckline lmao. the thing on his belt is called a plasma wand--it’s like a laser dagger (so a mini lightsaber), but the laser can also be shot out, like a laser gun. so we get the sexiness of a space knife with the long-range effectiveness of the space gun. and--is he wearing the Space Chanel boots? yes, yes he is. 😉

Azami’s look was SUPER fun and really easy to come up with. i really just wanted something that says “quirky rich girl”. and then i gave her a weird Star Wars-y hairstyle.

Val turned out to be the HARDEST for some reason??? which was surprising because they have such a tacky, extravagant style which shouldn’t have been so difficult to translate into a sci-fi style. i originally wanted to go “space pilot tracksuit but worn as a fashion statement” and then it turned into... “iridescent 90s music video nightmare” also it was my first time attempting drawing something iridescent can you tell 😬 it took me 3 days to settle on something and by the end of it i was so done kjsfkdjd. at least they still look adorable.

finally, peep their original designs from a year ago, back when they were in a 70′s ish fantasy apocalypse story, for comparison. (Petra didn’t even have glasses yet.)

digital redraw!! this remains one of my fave scenes from my fave fic :)

have you ever wondered what the andromeda crew would look like in fancy space outfits? well wonder no longer!

i’ve started planning AR2 and in one of the very first scenes the squad crashes a fancy party, so naturally i had to draw their looks!

decided to rework a slightly older FinnPetra drawing from the MR&F era to put them in their space outfits and got carried away with the dramatic lighting. enjoy!

Speaking of DnD, how would a campaign with the main four, Nena, Elix, the fandom's little meow meow (from now on, I refuse to call Ansel anything else) and August go?

first of all i am absolutely losing it at you calling Ansel "the fandom's little meow meow". what have i done

second of all i'm not including August in this. he sucks. we don't talk about August

third of all i'm glad you included Nena and Elix in this, i wanted to include them

a little refresher on everyone's classes and stats:

Petra: ranger with high INT and low CHA

Finn: rogue/druid with high CHA and DEX

Val: bard with high CHA and low CON and STR (they are Tiny)

Azami: warlock with high WIS and low INT

Nena: monk with high STR

Ansel: paladin with low CHA (let’s pretend he’s been domesticated by the crew enough that they’re letting him play with them, but he’s still, like, kind of an ass)

Elix: the tired DM (if i had to give him a class he’d be a wizard with high INT but i needed a DM and he seemed to fit best)

and here we go. this got long. sorry.

they’re playing a standard fantasy campaign with some quest to find a powerful relic and defeat an evil force. Elix deliberately made it basic to begun with bc he knew the party would derail anything he planned too much in detail.

(he is right, of course. Azami in particular is good at taking the story in unexpected places by making impulsive decisions. she does that to me too when i try to write her.)

Petra keeps getting caught up in every little detail, thinking everything is a clue of some sort, and does investigation checks on literally everything. (eventually Elix catches on to this and starts pointing out insignificant just details to fuck with her. and because Val like to fuck with their sister they play along with this as well.)

Finn and Val constantly use their joint skyrocketing charisma to talk their way out of anything. (occasionally Finn will try to flirt his way out of trouble on his own, and that has varying levels of success.)

Ansel and Azami get at each other’s throats constantly, both in and out of character, until their characters end up trapped in some cave together and are forced to talk things out and things get a little too Real. after that they manage to keep their animosity canned, at least, while they’re at the table.

speaking of siblings, Ansel and Azami’s characters aren’t related in the game, but Petra and Val decided to have their characters remain siblings because they thought it would be fun.

Val is the one who seems to take this the least seriously. they give their character the most ridiculous name and background. they’re the team jester. their horse’s name is Plinko.

Nena seems to have missed the memo that this is supposed to be light and fun and gets a little distressed whenever the party takes detours and has delays in their quest to stop the Evil Force, and is always trying to get them back on track. even Petra, who is by far the most uptight of the gang in real life, has to remind her to relax.

Azami is the one most likely to initiate combat. closely followed by Finn. the amount of unnecessary tavern brawls the party has gotten into because of these two alone is staggering.

Finn keeps stealing random objects with the excuse of “this could be useful later”. more often than not it just gets the party more enemies.

bonus:

there’s a thing i do sometimes while writing if i need to spice up a scene (particularly an action scene) where i will pretend it’s a dnd game and roll dice for my characters to determine what and how they do, and for some unfathomable reason, i keep rolling nat 20s for Azami. it has happened MULTIPLE times, it’s a little ridiculous. so i think this should happen in this hypothetical dnd game too, where everything seems dire, and out of nowhere Azami will roll a nat 20 and everyone will lose their mind.

thank you for the ask and if you’ve actually read all of this i am gently placing a flower in your hair as a symbol of my gratitude.
