Hands Up!

Description

A quick little entry into JZLobo's annual contest. The objective was to draw a scene from one of his short stories.
He wanted me to enter last year, but things happened. So this year I made to sure to make time.

This is an illustration for his short story, the next stage: The Next StageDis Carson and Zriz dropped their guns and raised their hands—on in Zriz’s case, claws—into the air. Zriz spat at the feet of the Eubolan holding them at gunpoint. Dis shared the sentiment. Out of habit, he berated himself. He should have seen the signs of ambush before boarding the derelict and called in the authorities. As if the life of a search and rescue unit wasn’t dangerous enough, he’d had to go charging into the dead ship looking for survivors. Trying to be a hero.
Instead, it looked like he was going to be just another victim. A five-year veteran should have known better.
“Look, just take the rations and go,” Dis said. “Shit ain’t even expensive.”
“Do not tell me you are afraid of death, Carson,” said Zriz with that clicking noise he had for a laugh.
“Hell no,” he said. “But dying at the hands of a filthy pirate over a measly box of food rations isn’t what I want carved as an epita


This is Dis and Zriz.

I was having trouble getting inspiration to draw these guys all cool and spiffy, so I chose to go the opposite route with something a little more light-hearted design-wise- something with a little humor to it. So I delved into the decade that fashion forgot: the '70s! And I designed some spacesuits off of some fabulously gaudy wear. :flirty:
I was tempted to add some hideous '70s patterns to their outfits as well, but that would be going too far. Hehehe.

My version of Dis here ended up looking a bit like Richard Pryor, I think. That's just fine with me, though. That guy was hilarious! He makes Superman 3 my favorite of the Superman movies. I'm not even kidding.

I laughed for a full minute at Dis's hair. This is definitely NOT how I imaged them, but it's awesome in its own horrendous, zeerust way! (Also, now I want a jacket just like Dis's.) Thank you so much!
