Time to play a little bit of catch up. With the wrap up of [Pursuit Through the Pleiades](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/412-pursuit-through-the-pleiades/1240), we’ve gotten a lot of world building with the cosmic side of the Menagerie-verse. While Bill already posted this on that thread, he gave me a bit of an early description of everyone’s favorite new character: [The Most Illustrious Supernova of the Universe, the Legendary Navigator of the Space-ways, the Right Honorable Quinnar Gentry](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/412-pursuit-through-the-pleiades/1240/7). ![pirate captain](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/f/f66d3d699e90960515bef0462a3aa308e3e80501.png) Wanted to make sure he wasn’t quite a re-costumed Concord, so did a bit of playing around with the eyes, in particular the extra ones on the right side of their face. Tried to evoke wings and feathers with the shapes, which I think fits their pirate aesthetic. Speaking of Concordance characters, I figured we were going to see a lot of them in this story so I decided to do some looks for some generic Concordance agents and other empowered characters (your background characters). ![cosmic uniforms](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/f/fdca4181589409a4bf9ba624998af686a7e3b4cb.jpeg) [The Acolytes would be those trained under the tutelage of Enora Dralis](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/412-pursuit-through-the-pleiades/1240/8). And speaking of her, I did some refinement on her design. Leaning into “weird reptilian space nun” with this one. ![enora](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/5/5ad0634a7077b9b2a7dac26cb706c377b4123423.png) And finally on the Megaverse front, Super Chica has really gone down a new path with her name change to La Cordera and I feel like that deserves a costume refresh. ![la cordera](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/f/f3340bc219d260941da466cb9393ad4b13781f6d.png) Obligatory “it has pockets!.” Wanted to give her something that still says “I’m ready to fight” without it being the default state, hence the poncho. I also just think it would be cool for her to start off a fight by pulling it off, either the slow removal as she stares down her opponent or the quick whip off as things start too quickly to lean on ceremony. I think it would look very cool in a animated setting. Moving on from the Megaverse, [City of Clones](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/413-city-of-clones/1245) just wrapped up and it really got me invested with the ANTIBODY Program as a villainous organization. And so I attempted to tackle the face of that organization: Jenny Byrne. ![Jenny Byrne](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/0/075525d32611bdf6447cf1470a0f2a48d6714f25.png) I think Bill said it best when I showed him this design and his response was "To vet any Jenny sketch, just show it to Dave and say ‘is this Jason’s type?’” so we’ll see what @Dave has to say about it. Next we move onto next month’s story, [The Arcane Assassin](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/414-the-arcane-assassin/1247). Don’t know much about the eponymous assassin yet, so we’ll instead focus on the Marvelous Menagerie’s other foe, the Seven Wonders. If there’s one member of the Wonders who gave me a headache, it’s the Hand. Not for any of the reasons you would imagine, but because there is already an [unbelievable amount](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9rlHY3PNw2-dnVYeHpjQndfUkk/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-0S-7lCzY70hOAjSIUB-IOQ) of [stage magician characters](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ktd8gfjZr1TWVvNkVBMFZYVWc/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-9DThB5ga66id4bbP-d33NA) in the [Sentinels custom community](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XprcM1JaNkAIpDZiYVofSraaiagH2hk9/view?usp=sharing) and I didn’t want her design to overlap with theirs. (Seriously, I could have pulled up another four or five examples.) ![The Hand](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/c/c669601464e015591c25a6d08135cd94d87e6826.jpeg) I do like what I’ve come up with here but I think I’m going to want to take another refinement pass on her before calling it finished. Also going to need to tackle some of the other Wonders (3/7 so far) to make sure the group as a whole looks good together if not cohesive. They should not look like a well branded team, that’s for the Stellar Six. And while I haven’t done that much designing with the Stellar Six, I did start with the most important part: a logo. ![stellar six](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/c/ce847522ef786f9f47da719a981d376871f5e7e2.png) This team is so corporately branded (like the Serval Industries era of X-Factor) that having a logo in place was almost a requirement to build the rest of the team’s look around that central theme. Also got to be able to imagine it on an entire row of boxes in a toy store. These guys should feel like a live action Paw Patrol. 😆 Finally, a step back to the Phase Two stories. Don’t remember if I showed this off to anyone other than Bill, but I really liked [Doctor Zap from the Atlantis stories](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/211-thicker-than-water/1071/7) and took a crack at the old science squid. ![doctor zap](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/e/ecdb2931f4b9fb5cbf10d03da247a0c9bdef65ce.png) Wanted to channeled a bit of Don Bluth energy here. Got to give Zap a bit of appeal without going full anthropomorphic and I think the pseudo-eyebrows work with that.
