Target Practice: Alternate Interpretations #1, gender swap
Alternate versions of characters we've drawn before on the challenge, over here:
http://www.webcomicsnation.com/cara
I am late for the art challenge, so I do penance by doing three people in alternate interpretations, instead of one. The characters and their deals, in order:
Hosanna Cutting-Green:
Previously from Personal Space and Character Sheet challenge. She'll probably show up in a lot of art challenges until the year comes that I start drawing her comic, at which point the Osea will take over.You will notice she is always smiling, because she is always smiling. A bit mad, when she's not quite made.
Her society is sexist, though not necessarily either misogynist or misandrist. But absolutely combative, and men do the fighting. She's normally a doctor. Men do nurse work, but they don't doctor much. They're not considered calm enough. I had thought she might be a bit upset about the swap, but apparently her general mania is adequate to the challenge.
Kes/Kesamari Dabain
Previously from the Character Design challenge, and the currently defunct Staff comic. It's coming back, I swear, once I have a buffer on the ongoing. So probably summer.
Kes isn't human, and her species tends towards a gender imbalance. A really quite pronounced gender imbalance. Different cultures have different modes of dealing with it. Apparently hers favors putting healthy breeding age males in a kind of rent-to-own harem house.
This was not something I knew before I drew this picture. More than anyone else I draw, Kes has her own opinions and is the only conduit for info on her society. I do not blame her for being ticked off.
Mehrn and Chren
No challenge pictures yet, but from my ongoing Skyfall comic. Also, Mehrn had a walk on in Otter Soldiers, which everyone should read. It's linked on th sidebar, people, read it.
Their species lives in sort of perpetual preadolescence until a complicated set of factors kick starts them to sexual maturity, a short but busy life of breeding and child rearing, and an early death. Before then, they've got less gender dimorphism than nine year old humans, since even the males lack external genitalia and the hormones are totally different. Not being breeders, they are not concerned about this at all. But they are fun to draw.
