hypocrisyofandrewdobson: hypocrisyofandrewdobson: Ever since I saw that early drawing of Alex Ze Pirate with Talus looking like an alien,,,, I’ve been wanting to make an Alex Ze Space Pirate for so long. They’re a pirate crew in space!!! >:V I made them different species cause I love drawing aliens honestly- Anywho! Some quick rough bit of info on them!! Talus - He is apart of a rare and extremely intelligent species, known for understanding practically every language, able to survive in almost any condition, and able to create amazing technology. Alex decided to kidnap Talus since she saw him as an opportunity to have someone with such intelligence be on her ship- but they can’t understand him whatsoever. He seems to understand them, but they can’t decode his language. So he’s just on the ship, cooking, yelling at everyone angrily when they annoy him. (Also useless info but Talus’ kind wear sandals, this represents that they see themselves on a higher level than those around them, when they are taken off, it means that they respect and value the people close to them) Alex - A human who was foolish enough to steal a dead princess’s crown from her statue, which ended up cursing her. She’s corrupted with some odd alien spirit that constantly tries to possess her, but seems pretty weak so far. She lost most of her hair due to the curse. Alex is serious about everything and seems to isolate herself from everyone, she’s not the best fighter; when she loses, she vents and takes it out on her crew. Alex can be extremely intimidating. Atea - Her species have been taught since day 1 to “reproduce”, the goal is to meet and love anybody you stumble on in order to have your genes passed down so you can “live on forever”. Atea’s kind are into ANY kink, they aren’t picky. So when she meets someone as stubborn as Alex, she snuck aboard the ship in hopes of a “happy ending”, but things didn’t go quite as planned. After slowly realizing her usual “methods” (harassment and dumb flirting) weren’t working, she tried working on her character more to appeal to Alex, and saw her more as an actual person than someone to bang and leave. Sam - His kind is REALY overpopulated, so they’re often sold as slaves or used for hard labor; if one were to die, they’d easily be replaced. Sam was kidnapped as well, since Alex needed someone to do all the cleaning on the ship. She constantly threatens him with replacement and violence, though she wouldn’t really do it. Sam dreams of leaving the ship but stays seeing how his other options are “be a slave” and “die” Talus and Nina are both close to him, so he tries to look on he bright side. Nina - A chameleon based species who often work as bounty hunters, police, or warriors/soldiers. Nina hunts down any thieves or potential threats. She’s been hunting down Alex for some time now. During the evening, she’s sneak on their ship and take any stolen treasure back to their original owners. Sam spots her but never snitches since she didn’t seem like a bad person and treated him with respect. ”Okay seriously: each and every one of you that has submitted redesigns and story ideas for rebooting/reworking Alex ze Pirate? You’re all fucking amazing. The amount of creativity and interesting ideas I’ve had submitted just stun me, and this one is know different. You all are the exact opposite of a Dobson, and I mean that in the absolute best way possible. Keep drawing, keep coming up with ideas, and keep trying your best. Ya’ll are some talented ass people. Keep at it!” -THOAD I always enjoy the really creative and unique ways people can take Dobson’s stuff and make it massive more interesting to me. Redesigning all the characters based on its original concept of “Space Pirates” was definitely one of the cooler ideas. I just learned about this Dobson guy and wow he seems like a piece of work from the sound of it. Though this is an interesting concept! Though I wonder why Atea would be a lesbian if she was taught to, well, pass on her genes? -- source link
