the city




a/n: I-I finished it! Sorry for the RIDICULOUS wait. After I had to go through that whole miserable day of finding the picture when it got deleted my interest in the pic sort of died out. I was afraid I'd fuck it up big time and lose it for good and just... ick. It was rough. But I SWORE to myself that I would get this finished sometime this weekend and HUZZAH! I did!

It's currently 1440x900 pixels because that's my screen size, but if someone wants one that'll fit their screen perfectly just ask me and I'll make one up. Also, I wanted to put words at the bottom like subtitles to a movie, but wasn't sure what I wanted it to say.

Oh and the whole reason I did this picture is because of Cobra Starships "The City is at War". I was listening to it and then drew Johnny there holding his shovel and started filling in a hideous Phi beside him dressed kind of like a mobster and it just evolved from that idea. Also I made a short playlist to listen to while I worked on this picture! The songs on it were both loud and peppy, and soft and ANGSTY. I don't know why.

:D

Frances' money > all other weapons known to man.

(also, it isn't as noticeable as I would have liked, but Franny is wearing a dream catcher 'round his neck, because I felt like there need to be a ref back to Beau. i also gave jill a plumbob necklace and alien belt buckle because she's a half-sim/half-alien.)

LOL RIPP. This is very true.

Buck really isn't gonna do much damage with that rolling pin, eh? Oh well, he's got Jill to back him up.

I did see the dreamcatcher, but I did not pick up on it being a Beau reference (silly me). That's very cool. ^_^

I like Jill's alien attire a whole lot. Her huge bazooka makes me think back to your comic about her being jealous of alien parts. Now she has a HUGE weapon to make up for it.

Buck can just let Jill do all the ass-kicking for him. She looks out for her man (just like in highschool).

Lol, dreamcatchers remind me of Beau ever since that one short story thing.

Haha, I HAD to give Jill the most ridiculously large weapon. It just suits her!

Maybe, while everyone else kicks ass, Buck will hang back and bake brownies for everyone? It seems like a pretty good plan to me!

Oh, it's a good call, because I've been using them as a bit of a motif for him too (at least on one occasion so far). You'll see.

Yeah, I see that. It's funny because I see her as being the tiniest too.

Buck will distract the enemy with killer brownies. Why didn't I think of that?
