The 13th generation
🕑 Added 2023-01-22 21:12:48 +0000 UTCI am currently plotting out a "doujinshi" comic that will emerge at some point in the near future. In discussing this with my good friend Marc Ellerby, he said that I should do a Gen 13 fan comic. Gen 13 is a nineties comic which I read one issue of, nearly three decades ago, and I do not feel like I am the person to undertake this project. But with an hour to kill before a lunch reservation, in the environs of Central St Martins art school, I tried to capture the wonder of Gen 13 for Marc.
My initial effort was on paper, rendered at high speed before someone asked what I was doing. Please bear in mind that I was looking at Google Images on my phone in a crowded area. I noted down the names of the characters that I could recall.
When I got home, I tried a bit harder to capture these character designs, which let me tell you, I do not think would pass muster if presented professionally today.
Okay, so this character is called "Grunge". I remember this after all these years because it is a terrible name. His costume is a pair of red tights pulled up over his belly button, a chest tattoo, and sunglasses. Shocking.
I don't know what this character is called. He's on fire, yeah? And he has a Stone Temple Pilots type beard. Cool.
Now, the big draw of Gen 13 was a character called "Fairchild". She was drawn about twelve heads high, with a very healthy bosom, legs like a giraffe, and a tiny waist. Forget everything you know about human anatomy, and just get involved.
Why is her leotard so high cut? I don't know. It's not practical for day to day use. Not to be uncouth but she's already got a pretty tough waxing job just with those 60 inch legs.
I tried to work out her proportions a second time but I think I still undersold it:
Anyway the feature presentation ends there. Gen 13 has more characters to draw (Faux-bilee and Psy-not?), but my energies were exhausted.

You're a good egg, Steve.

BTW, someone tried to get two fraudelent charges on my account and since it happened the day before Patreon billing you'll be down one rabid fan for up to six business days until I get my new card in the mail. I will be back, definitely!
Well, I think the question my readers should ask is, did John fall or was he pushed?
I feel like I'm public enemy number one amongst your community for getting you to draw this 90s trash.
