AstroLass vs Zentrope

Egg Comics

on July 31, 2014

Our cosmic heroine does battle with a dastardly energy siphoning villain from a dead planet.Of course, AstroLass being the kind of heroine she is, this situation may go south for her, really quickly.(Let the tentacle jokes commence.)
Zentrope was originally created, but never completed, as a villain for a Create-A-Villain contest that the DeviantArtist, Kostmeyer, was running for his OC, Vigil way back when.He was originally to be sort of a squat Gandalf-ish space-wizard with a power-staff and shark's teeth.I think that was about the time of one of my way-too-many computer crashes.I eventually got my comp fixed, but was too late for the contest, so Zentrope sat among my junk files for quite a while.When I decided to make a new (non-naughty) pic of AstroLass, I realized that the only actual villains I had planned for her were an army of tentacle aliens. (Big surprise there). So, digging thru my junk pile for discarded characters I found the original Zentrope pic. i gave him a sleeker, yet somewhat less gritty redesign in fitting with being in a smutty comic. In my first redesign, I'd made him one of the tentacle aliens, but with a crown and the old powerstaff, but he looked too much like Vilgax from the Ben 10 cartoon, so I re-made him more humanoid.Zentrope is an energy vampire who is now KING of the afore-mentioned tentacle aliens, instead of just their military commander as he was originally to be. His power-staff has gone missing. Without it, he is down to 1/3 power (still pretty danged bad-ass) and has to sustain his lifeforce by leeching cosmic power from others with his, um, FAVORITE tentacle. Guess who has cosmic power in abundance. That's what this picture is about.
This is the last of the original AstroLass shots. I have one more unfinished pic, which, I guess I will finish and update here sometime soon-ish. I am still brainstorming a short story, but that will most likely go up on my new website once it's up within the next couple of months.
And now for something completely different!…
