Quick studies of the Scientist and Dawur because I was just really mad that Dawur didn’t have the exoskeleton segments that the Ambassador did, okay. Like, they’re not just oddly-colored humans, sans noses.

i also get irrational when people say that they’re green like what the fuck. The Ambassador is green, friend. The Scientist is blue and with Black it’s a little greener but still very much blue. I dunno, I don’t want to start ‘the color of the dress: YJ edition” but it’s one of those things for me okay

I was gonna make a Gratitude doodle to go with it, but I gotta run. It might still happen though.

Me: *takes deep breath*

Me: I lo-

Anyone who has spent five seconds around me ever: yes, you love the reach, we know, you love the reach so much, they're the light of your life, you love them so much, you just love the reach, we KNOW, you love the reach you fucking love the reach, ok we know, we get it, YOU LOVE THE REACH. WE GET IT.

The colors for the clouds and piggyback idea comes from ya-ssui. GO CHECK THEM OUT; THEY BE GLORIOUS. AHH. WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN. As for these boys, Ilo had better check himself before he gets his ass tossed by a licensed pro. Extend’s a Reachling, dear, not your personal jetpack and you’re the only one in the group officially that CAN fly besides T'nee so I REALLY don’t know what you think you’re doing

The Reach + text posts and assorted: Beetle edition

Part I | Part II | Part III

Blue Beetle #24 - 2008

Haven’t been active but doodled this to relieve stress. I will open commissions soon look for it!

Morning warm-up of Ted Kord- The Blue Beetle.

check it out! I revamped Khaji-Kai!

Though I’d kinda would like him to be an OC but I have issues with finding names as stuff…So…

Anyway, wanted to see what a golden scarab would look like (note that I said Golden and not Yellow! he’s got more of a honey color to his armor) I like a little color in my aliens so he’s got some nice back markings going on - wither they are tattoos or natural I dunno - He’s also more of a sandy color with some gradients. 

I’m in absolute love with this species!!

Behold the monster within the Blue Beetle. (Don’t judge, a dentist makes six figures a year. He can pay off his parents mortgage and Milagro’s college with that.)

Blue Beetle (2006): Total Eclipso: the Heart.

Thanks to guardianofscrewingup for the suggestion.

DC has yet to give a name for this species and they’ve used them a few times! or they did name this species and I never found out the name… So, I pulled all of my Khaji-Kai doodles and then drew more with bonus M'Ten from GLTAS (that guy that got killed in the first episode). I wanted a kinda character/species sheet for these guys. 

Also, OMG Khaji-Kai in civvies!! Okay, In my head-canon this species are not as colorful as a lot of the others that we see in gltas and skin tones range from a dark caramel to a cream to an almost white. Now I’ve done a lot of artistic interpretation on these guys so in the comics or show they don’t have dino feet; I did that ‘cause I think that they look great with them! I see other artist for the comics do it a lot if you pay attention Saint Walker gets picked on a lot. Any way, I’ve kept most of the detail on them though: long bodies, not much muscle, oblong heads, massive sharp teeth, and very expressive large black eyes. I think of them as a very smart race that is built more for speed and endurance than brute force.  They are also a species that you can’t really tell each one apart and there are only small differences between individuals. Like in my two side view sketches; at first glance they look the same but the one on the left is Khaji-Kai and the one on the right is M'Ten, Khaji is taller than M'ten and has softer features while M'ten has a shorter nose, thicker neck and a little more stocky than Khaji, M'Ten also has a darker skin tone. To us humans that’s not much of a difference but to them the difference is huge. Apparently they are a long lived race. There’s not an exact date but Khaji-Kai became a Scarab warrior “long, long ago” but the only hint to a time line is that Khaji’s planet is in Space Sector 2 the Reach’s home sector -which was probably the first sector the Reach concurred. Which would have been thousands a pun thousands of years ago in comics! long before the big fight between the Guardians and the Reach. Khaji may have even been around for that battle, he was described as the greatest Infiltrator the Reach ever created and with that kind of power comes experience. That’s also the reason why I think he lived in the comics. I’ll be doing a better 'species’ sheet later with babies, kids, different adults, and the old. Also, while reading the comics I didn’t see a 'female’ of this species in there. So that means that everyone has both parts, females look the same as males, or the artist was too lazy to draw them…I dunno. On a side one that dumb thing on Khaji Kai’s face is an actual thing that this species has in the comics! Gosh, don’t you know how distracting that would be!? it’d be like having your phone on the side of your face at all times! they must be pros at multitasking!  

they bought all the chicken whizzies in 3 separate stores

this is so corny and sappy i want to delete
