☆Sparks n' Satellites☆

Finally got around to finishing making still life versions of First Squad (and one other honourable mention. .), absolutely loved drawing them but wrong. >::3c

+ (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) here's the art!! :

"Alpha Girl" Latifah

Alpha Girl remains at Big Green as not only the captain of Second Squad, but a lieutenant (or sergeant?) of Big Green! Her powerful moves, her leadership skills, as well as her compassion for others has put her in the position she's in today. When Alpha Girl isn't focused on her team, she's focused on recruitment, leading training, and assisting with developing battle strategy alongside Mr. No Hands, Woo, Apetrully, etc. Latifah has a lot on her plate now, but nothing she can't handle, right?

It seems that way, at least, though Latifah seems just a little more private than she was before. What's up with that?

Anyways: Alpha Girl still maintains part of her flashy, tiger print dress, but has since integrated some blue accents and fur gloves/sleeves to compliment her uniform. Her weapon of choice is still her kanabō, but perhaps she'll get something ELSE to use later on ;]c

Kowloon

Kowloon is just about the same as he was before, only slightly (ONLY SLIGHTLY) more mature. He sticks by Alpha Girl's side as her right-hand man as always, ready to jump whenever told to do so. Kowloon has taken his monk teachings a bit more seriously as of late and is trying to put them into practice. As a result, he thinks more before he acts and he tries to slow down when he's not fighting.

Kowloon has a fancier dress for his uniform, longer hair, bandages to cover battle wounds, and 108 mala beads wrapped around his torso to help him stay grounded in reality, and in meditation. Perhaps to represent something else, too...

(note: I had previously done research on mala beads before adding them onto his design, but there is potential for inaccuracies!)

Archer Lee / Hurricane Lee

The brothers of Second Squad! These two haven't changed much in personality over the years. Hurricane has become slightly softer, and Archer slightly braver and more determined however! They're both still affiliated with the Second Squadron, Archer moreso over Hurricane.

Archer Lee has extra layers of fine armor, his usual weapon of choice, and a new, secondary weapon: a lance! After an incident in which Archer was ambushed and struggled to engage in close combat, his older brother and the rest of his team has forced him to carry a defensive weapon. This weapon is a lance! He isn't quite fond of having it because it makes him feel weak for needing it, but it's nice for keeping anyone away lol.

Meanwhile, Hurricane has since left Big Green to live at/help run one of BG's close by inns with his partner (and one of the sailor sibs) Xiaoqi. He still goes on majority of second squad missions, but occasionally needs to stay behind to work. Hurricane still uses his axes and dumplings as his primary weapons, and his outfit is largely the same as before too. He has some jewelry and his hair is done up now, though! Hurricane likes to dress himself up :]

Archer is a bit sour that he doesn't live alongside his brother anymore. He gives Hurricane some hell for it, but it's partially playful. They're still as close as ever.

Golden Eye Husky

The fierce king of the Ligers. Husky has residence at Big Green still, but he will often leave for significant periods of time to manage his kingdom. With the recent integration efforts of tigons, litigons, and titigons, GEH is more dedicated than ever to maintaining the sanctity of his civilization. Ligers and other cross-bred species struggle to be seen as equals amongst other animal kingdoms—Husky wants to prove that him, his liger companions, and his new citizens are just as worthy as any other animal.

And what better way to prove his worth than his scars? Husky's scars are no accident: they are intentionally carved to display his status as a powerful king.
