I know I said I was going to take a break, but this was totally a self-indulgent project that I threw together in about an hour. Adam’s always had bits of inspiration of magical girl anime (his powers are based on his feelings, for crying out loud) so I’ve always thought he needed a decent transformation sequence. This isn’t decent, but I think this quick storyboard should at least give a decent idea of what I had in mind for it.
_(Weird quirk, but click for animation.)
_While I’d love to do a “good” version of this some day, this was already more of a dive into 2d animation that I really wanted to for a first go.

Very cool!
Now, clearly, we need Mike to do transformation / power-up sequences for ALL of us …
Can you have those by the next game, Mike?

“Your costume… looks really cool,” the other hero said, in a somewhat awkward attempt a small talk.
“Does it?” He looked down at himself again. “I know I’m always doing some kind of reversed triangle white shoulder/chest piece thing, but I just like how it looks.”
“No, it’s cool.”
“The scarf isn’t too much? I’d tone it down but I think the Concordance just kind of… does what it wants. Or what I want. Even when it’s a crazy–”
“Seriously, it’s cool.” She paused. “And… I mean… it’s not like anyone’s ever seen other Concordance agents activate the power.” She pushed on, before she lost her nerve. “…ffffor all we know, they all do the Sailor Moon ribbon thing.”
He’d started to turn red, which was ridiculous, since his face was an infinite field of stars.
And yet.
He crossed his arms over the triangle design thingie on his chest. “It did that on its own,” he muttered.
“I believe you.”
“I wanted something much cooler.”
“It’s totally cool.”
“… Thanks.”
“No problem.”
The interdimensional gate continued to pulse. Their respective teammates continued to not show up.
“… I mean.”
She waited.
“It’s an iconic transformation sequence.”

“His face suddenly red-shifted as his mind tried to flee the conversation at near-c speeds. The existing red super-giants there swelled, their wavelengths stretching out into a hot flush of infrared.”

I was never a huge Freakazoid fan back in the day, but my attention has been called to this one-off segment (originally planned, it seems, for an episode of _Animaniacs).
_It’s the Adventures of Toby Danger:

Continuing work on the collage (probably the right word for this mess of imagery) and needed some ideas for a couple of things. Thought some of you might like helping source some inspiration for things:
- Gardner Academy seems like at least a dress code (if not full on school uniforms) institution. Any ideas?
- AEGIS Agents: strictly men in black or do they have a field uniform?
- Similar question for Quill Industries: Silicon Valley-style work casual attire or there some sort of branding involved?
- What’s the school mascot for Halcyon High? One of the incidental pieces of art in the main book has the Beacon wearing a school shirt with a robotic dinosaur logo on it, but I don’t know if that fits our story well.

I feel like all the Halcyon High schools have variations on an animal theme or something (after rebranding from problematic indigenous tribe names in the 70s). Like they’re all birds, or all big cats, or something? Thoughts?
AEGIS is a mix of MIBs and field agents dressed in hi-tech swat gear.

Alliteration is often key to such rebranding. So… The Halcyon High Hawks, and the Gardner… Gyrfalcons? That’s nicely exotic.

What I meant was, all the public High Schools (South, North, Central, West, Shoreline, et cetera) do the variations on a theme? Gardner might be something… I mean, I want the mascot to be a Fox, obviously, but…

Or Griffins (Gryphons!) perhaps.

Gardner Gryphons is actually pretty cool. I don’t need to take the Gardner Fox reference too far.

The schools had to change logos after a shapeshifting Silver Generation hero proved in court that they’d stolen their animal iconography. The old shirts are still around, and alumni or lucky younger students sell them to hipsters for mall money.

There was an intense debate among the student body over what spelling of the word to use, settled when Chevalier Blanc of Paris landed in the the center of the football field on his mount, and the mount, the gryphon Epimacus, whispered to the student body president how he spelled it.
