I dunno if anyone here is into Sentinel Comics but I drew Setback.

He's my favorite hero and totally feels like he'd be working in a small town and gets cookies from the local grandma - instead of working in a city owned by a giant crime organization and commonly fighting a misery demon god and it's cult.

Lucy Weaver: Our titular heroine, once the magical girl Butterscotch, Lucy is now the jaded, burnt-out magical woman Shirley Temple. Disillusioned with the life of a magical girl, and with the intentions of Astral, she now works to train the next generation of magical girls and to make sure the tragedy that destroyed her own team, Sweet Victory, never happens to anyone else again. Lucy is a relatively short woman, with pink dyed hair styled in an undercut. She tends to wear sturdy practical clothes, most commonly denim and work boots. When she transformes into Shirley Temple, she grows over half a foot taller, gaining a pinkish tint to her skin and her eyes and hair both turn a bright red to match the color of the magical girl outfit she appears in and the goggles she wears over her face. She wields a large, heavy wand like a bat. Even in her transformed state, she keeps her trusty denim jacket, whose pockets she always keep filled with butterscotch candies.

A.S.T.R.A.L: The Arcane Superhuman Transforming Rescue and Aid Leage is a semi-secret, pseudo-governmental program that studies alien tech and magical artifacts to create heroes to defend the earth. Their most promising program, the Inducer Program, uses a combinaton of alien chemicals and technology mixed with magical herbs to create a drink that engenders a temporary physical transformation along with the imbuement of strange powers in the drinker. ASTRAL claims the Inducer works best when subjects are exposed at a young age, around puberty, and has continued exposure throughout the next few years. Most of ASTRAL’s heroes are members of the Inducer program, although a few developed powers on their own and were snatched up by ASTRAL, or came to them for training, shelter, and resources. Despite the good ASTRAL has done, their methods are often controversial, or at least would be if they were widely known, and the organization is secretive enough even within it’s own ranks that some feel they may be engaged in shadier practices than even what is known. ASTRAL does it’s best to stay in the shadows, letting their magical girls take the limelight and act as the face of the program.

Annabelle Cooper: Annabelle is a mid-level administrator in ASTRAL, and in charge of several of the older magical girls, including Shirley Temple. Annabelle has a habit of giving the women under her charge code names chosen from alcoholic beverages. Most believe the names stem from her own mild alcoholism and a lack of creativity. Annabelle is a true believer in ASTRAL’s mission, and has little time or patience for those she deems to be disloyal or disrespectful to the organization, a fact that causes her to frequently butt heads with Shirley Temple. Annabelle is tall and slender, with pale skin and silverly blonde hair. She dresses in crisp pant suits, usually in a light blue color, and wears thin rectangular glasses.

Aurora Adams: Also known as Tequila Sunrise, Aurora was a magical girl around the same time as Lucy. Back then, she was known as Borealis and was part of a team known as the Celestial Harmonies. While Annabelle frequently grates on her nerves, Aurora is very loyal to ASTRAL and therefor is rarely willing to let her frustrations with Annabelle and her leadership choices show. Currently, Aurora is not training any new heroes and mostly acts as an Auxillary hero for emergencies, and as a tactical advisor to Annabelle in case of superheroic conflicts. She is very curvy and prefers flowing, loose clothing, often dresses or else a blouse and skirt. When she transforms into Tequila Sunrise, she loses some of her curves, replacing them with impressive musculature. Her hair becomes a vibrant blue and her outfits are replaced with  purple and blue outfit with lots of flowing, multi-colored ribbons. She wields a silver and blue magic wand that primarily is used for firing energy blasts, although Tequila herself would rather get into the thick of the fight herself.

Jenny McGuinness: Also known as Lemon Drop or Lemon Drop Martini, Jenny is a trainer with ASTRAL, and an ex-member of the Celestial Harmonies known as Starbeam. Jenny is genderfluid and uses She/They pronouns. Jenny currently doesn’t have any trainees, but is expected to take on a crew of young girls soon. She has acted as a substitute trainer to the Shooting Stars when Lucy was injured or on Annabelle’s bad side enough to be benched from training the girls. As Jenny,they dresses in a butch style, usually a tank top, stained with engine grease, and a leather jacket paired with either cut off jean short shorts or leather pants. They have short cropped red hair, a smattering of freckles across her face, and sapphire blue eyes. As Lemon Drop, her hair grows out into tight red curls, she shrinks a few inches and becomes a little more slender and lithe. She wields a golden staff and her outfit becomes a yellow and blue, much more feminine outfit, more of a traditional magical girl look.

Yuna Yoshimura: Also known as Strawberry Daquiri, Yuna is an ex-member of the Celestial Harmonies who used to go by Nebulae. She is a trainer for ASTRAL and has yet to be introduced in game.

 Absinthe: An Ex-Member of ASTRAL and a current Vigilante. Absinthe has a beef with Annabelle specifically. She has not yet been introduced in game.

Tanya Taylors: Going by the code name Arcana, Tanya Taylors is in many ways the leader of the upcoming Magical Girl team the Shooting Stars. The eldest of the group, Tanya feels the responsibility to lead and protect her teammates. She believes in the mission of ASTRAL and loves being a magical girl. However, she does harbor some hidden reservations about the organization and their intentions, reservations that have only been heightened by her tutelage under Lucy Weaver. Tanya is a 16 year old African-American girl. She normally keeps her hair braided in tight cornrows. She usually wears casual clothes, most frequently a t-shirt and shorts, in some combination of pinks and greens. When she becomes Arcana, Tanya appears to be in her late teens or early 20’s and wears a purple and gold robe reminiscent of a robe. She wears a slender golden tiara and wields a long magical staff of purple and pink metal. Her Hairstyle as Arcana changes to an afro.

Olivia Grant: Also known as Moonstone, Olivia is the muscle of the Shooting Stars. Bubbly, optimistic, and cheerful, Olivia is mostly happy to go along with her friends. She enjoys the rush of being Moonstone and frequently feels invincible with her powers, rushing into danger and putting herself in harms way to protect others, a habit that ASTRAL has been encouraging despite the protests of her teammates, most notably her girlfriend Beth. Olivia is tall for her 14n years of age and frequently wears athletic wear or track suits. When she transforms into Moonstone, her close-cropped dirty blonde hair grows slightly into a green fauxhawk, her skin darkens into a slight tan, and her outfit changes into a close-fitting blue and white outfit covered in stars, with a large crescent moon in the center. Unlike the rest of her team, she has no weapon, instead using her ability to generate pearlescent rocky growths to create gauntlets that she uses to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Beth Bailey: Beth goes by the hero’s name Storm-Clap, and acts as the Shooting Stars ranged heavy hitter. One of the more powerful members of the team, the 14-year-old gained the power to control weather and generate elemental attacks such as gouts of lighting, blasts of frigid air, and waves of sleet and hail. More cautious but just as determined as her girlfriend Olivia, Beth views the Shooting Stars (and more recently their new trainer Lucy) as a surrogate family. She would do near anything to keep the team together. Beth is of Native American ancestry, although as an orphan brought up by ASTRAL from a very young age, she’s unsure of her exact heritage. She has recently been looking more into her heritage and ancestry and hopes to change her name from the one ASTRAL gave her on her adoption when she finds out more about where she comes from. For now, she prefers to go by her hero’s name, even in her civilian identity, feeling more attachment to the name she chose herself. Storm-Clap prefers to wear jeans and button-up shirts over white tees. When she transforms, Storm-Clap’s outfit changes into a frilly black and yellow dress, a matching cape with dark blue accents, and a golden wand that lets her direct and aim her energy blasts more carefully. Her hair remains in her preferred style of a long, tight braid. Like the rest of her team, her transformation seems to age her up to around 20 years old.

Siobhan O’Connor: the newest member of the Shooting Stars, Siobhan O’Connor has taken the name Stellar Breeze. The 13-year-old girl is the only member of the team who is not part of the Inducer Program. Her powers developed on their own, and her parents sent her to ASTRAL in the hopes of learning where her powers came from and to train her in how to safely use them. Siobhan is still a little homesick, but has found fast friends and a new sense of camaraderie in the company of the rest of the Shooting Stars, who have worked hard to help welcome the younger girl into their group. Siobhan has auburn hair that is usually in a wild tangle that she refuses to brush. Her skin is pale and heavily freckled, and she enjoys wearing leather jackets, hiking boots, and knee length skirts. As Stellar Breeze, her hair shortens, becomes a bright, glowing pink, and her eyes become an electric blue. Her outfit changes into an Iridescent flowing outfit, reminiscent of the Aurora Borealis. She wields a rod that seems to be made from cosmic energy given solid form.

Cherry Bomb: Tina Locke was a member of Sweet Victory and a close friend, almost a sibling, to Lucy. Her powers for explosion and her penchant for mischief got the team into as much trouble as it got them out of. She was last seen destroying a Pharian flag ship and is presumed dead.

Licorice: Laura Calhoun was a member of Sweet Victory and very close to Lucy. The two had mutual crushes on each other, although they didn’t get the chance to really act on this before Licorice, after Cherry Bomb’s presumed death, went after the Pharian leader General Voscel on her own. She hasn’t been seen since and is presumed dead. Caramel: Candance Boone was a member of Sweet Victory and the least close with Lucy, although the two were still friends. During the Pharian Invasion, Caramel stayed behind at one of the later battle ground, holding off a squad of Pharian Mutagenists while Lucy got civilians to safety. When Lucy returned to the fight, Caramel was missing and presumed dead. The Pharian Empire:  The Pharians are a race of alien conquerors, traveling the galaxy and invading worlds they believe have something of value to add to the Pharian Empire. Masters of Transformative Arcano-Tech, the Pharians tend to seed worlds they plan to invade with devices that turn those exposed to them into superpowered beings, usually coupled with an element of mind control to cause the newly-empowered individuals to seek out and destabilize centers of power and resistance in the soon-to-be conquered worlds, paving the way for the Pharian fleet. Pharians are tall by human standards, even the shortest reaching 5’10” and with 7’ being close to average height. They have four arms, blue to teal skin (usually), solid colored eyes (usually in bright jewel colors), and keep their hair long and usually heavily decorated. They have horn or fin like features on their head that they use to further enhance their hairstyles. It is highly suspected that the Inducer Program was built out of reverse engineered Pharian tech. The Pharians have been the primary opponents of ASTRAL and their Magical Girls since the organizations establishment.

General Helveraix Voscel: A Cunning and powerful Pharian Warleader, General Voscel led the first Pharian invasion of Planet Earth. In the early skirmishes, he as frequently stymied by the Shooting Stars, developing a growing obsession with defeating the young heroes that caused him such issues. During the final days of the invasion, Voscel was indirectly responsible for the presumed deaths of two of the Shooting Stars and likely directly responsible for the presumed death of a 3rd. However, Butterscotch, the final member of the Shooting Stars, and a contingent of other heroes, including other Astral Heroes and independent agents, were able to drive the Pharians off, with Butterscotch badly wounding General Voscel in the conflict. While left over Pharian Tech has still caused issues for ASTRAL in the decade plus since then, no Pharian activity has been seen in our Solar System since that day.

[ID: Digital drawing of two teen girls, one regular and one a magical girl. The regular one, on the left, has dark green hair in braided pigtails, big blue eyes, and a button down shirt and denim shorts. She's winking and giving a peace sign by her face. The magical girl, on the right, has a long green braid with a blue gradient near the end, a green princely tailcoat, white pants, and green and white wings. She's leaping to one side, smiling and waving. In the middle, green text with white outlines says "Wind Guardian Hyper Hummingbird (aka Seta Momoka) Shining Guardians Season 3!" End ID.]

Now that our magical girl SCRPG campaign has hit season 3, I figured it was time for my babygirl Momoka to get a new design! This one I tried to give more of a Takarazuka prince aesthetic, since in season 2 she said that joining Takarazuka Revue as an otokoyaku (actress who plays male roles) was her biggest dream. Fascinated to see how her gay-ass love interests react to the new look lol

[ID: digital drawing of a Japanese teenage girl with long green hair in pigtails, big blue eyes, and a blue school uniform with a blazer. She's got one hand to her face and is raising the other in a little wave, smiling shyly and blushing. There are white shojo bubbles all around her. End ID.]

Now you might think that I'd associate Bitter Sweet Darling by Smewthie with one of the Tokyo Mew Mew characters because that's what it's from however I did put it on Momoka's playlist and I think about her a lot more than I do the TMM characters. So.

The first product for the Sentinel Comics Roleplaying Game, and Critical-Hits Studios’ first mass produced/print product (in partnership with Greater Than Games), is on its way into stores and into the hands of preorderers now. Your local game store can order it for distribution, and if you don’t have a game store, you can order it directly from the Greater Than Games store shortly.

The Starter…

More Draw Everything June catchup! Featuring Wind Guardian Hyper Hummingbird, aka Momoka Seta, my PC for a magical girl themed SCRPG campaign! she doesn't usually have a staff but i needed a prop so

[ID: 2 digital drawings of girls kissing. The first has two teenagers, one a green magical girl with pigtails, wings, and a green and light blue outfit and the other a regular girl with long black hair and a blue school uniform jacket. The magical girl has her back slightly to the viewer and is cupping the other girl's face, the other girl holding the back of the magical girl's head. The background is pink with white lilies and there are shojo bubbles around them. The second has two young women, one with short yellow hair and a red jacket over silver-blue chain mail and one with long black hair and a flowing black short-sleeved dress. The blonde is slightly shorter and has her arms wrapped loosely around the other girl's neck, while the black-haired girl has one hand reaching down to the other girl's waist and is holding the back of her head gently. The background is a dark starry sky with a full moon directly above them. End ID.]

Been practicing drawing kissing recently with my TTRPG characters Momoka/Hyper Hummingbird (the green girl in the left image) and Sister Katherine (the blonde girl in the right image) with their respective NPC love interests. I think I'm starting to get better at it? The second one shows improvement over the first one, anyway.
