Description Just a revamp of a picture I did a while ago.

A quick rundown for folks not familiar with these two characters and their story (just copied and pasted form the earlier picture so don't bother reading both, haha).

Agents Larke Hudson (right) and Rocco Reeves (left) are psychic cops in an alternate Miami, Florida. When strings of arson start to pop up around the city, they have to stop a crazy pyromaniac ex-cop as the city's temperature slowly rises, before he ignites the whole coastal empire in a sea-side inferno.

Side Note: Rocco wears that special helmet to keep his psychic powers from accidentally exploding people's heads around him when he does something as simple as mental math.

I'm gonna do something with them eventually, but like with all my stories I'm to busy with current comics at the moment so it'll have to wait.

The sound track in my head this time around isn't Ratatat, but Daft Punk's "Aerodynamic".

Epic mixture of classic vintage and futuristic feels wrapped in wonderful righteous styling.


And I really like Ratatat and Daft Punk. ^^

His powers are to strong for foil to contain. They already tried that.

you see, thats the beauty of aluminium foil. if one layer doesn't work, just keep ADDING more. until they look like a Christmas ornament, or a makeshift robot (both powerful forms of containing the psy). And besides, aluminium is shiny, it can distract people oh so lovingly.


another reason why old school aluminium is better:
you wont need to penetrate a 3 inch glass fish bowl to scratch your nose.

I imagine no matter how much they added it wasn't working. And it gets to a point where removing the foil or operating as a police officer the stuff will get in the way one way or another. And for not attracting attention when your sneaking up on targets it doesn't do well at all.

OK! NEW PLAN!

what if we just removed the head?
It is the source of the problem.


P.S DUDE! Aluminium foil would be the most useful thing to a cop! he could rip off a chunk and mold it into a dagger! or a bazooka!

Rocco is awesome, and so is the reason for wearing a helmet. Great idea!

...or you could tie in those other stories to the ones your doing now. idk, have a chapter with your main characters interacting with characters from another story, then in the next chapters change up the interacting characters...

i'm loving the picture by the way you masterful monster, you!!
