After Baron Myles, people wanted to see Human Persei. So here they are! Sorry if the art looks worse than usual, I just wanted to do a few quick sketches.

Dr. Percy "Persei" Stevens. After earning their PHD, they sent out applications to prestigious and well known research institutions. Gunsaw Macrotech, noticing Percy's incredible intellect, offered them a job. Gunsaw wasn't what Percy was looking for, but they thought it would be stupid to pass up such a high paying job. At first, they were a research assistant at the experimental materials department. After a few months, they were promoted and transferred to the biomedical department. Where all the sawians were being held. Percy's mental health declined sharply after learning the truth about what their employers and peers were doing behind the scenes. SAW-08-00482 (Baron Myles) noticed Percy's distress, and kept them company. They've been friends ever since then, even though it breaks company policy.

Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a good day/night.

Earlier, I asked everyone what kind of sawian Myles would be, and many people said Baron. I think Baron fits perfectly for Myles, so I wanted to draw Baron Myles. Expect more Baron Myles soon, this is a fun character to draw!

Now for the TOWGA update:

I've made a decision about the schedule for TOWGA. There's going to be one page every other day. The schedule isn't strict. I still might make daily pages, depending on how much free time I have.

My main reason is that I have a lot of things I want to draw, but the comic takes too much time to draw daily. I'll still try to post art daily, but it won't always be a new TOWGA page.

MASTER POST

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Hello everyone! Welcome to the first intermission of TOWGA!

The reason for an intermission instead of a full page is because I need some more time to prepare for page 11. Page 11 and onward is when the main story begins, so I want some time to make sure I get it right. The idea is to have our protagonists go on several adventures, and with each new adventure the main plot advances in some way. I already know exactly what the main plot is, but individual adventures haven't been planned. I'm just going to write and draw an adventure that sounds fun, and then make sure it's connected to the main plot.

There are a few more inspirations I haven't mentioned yet:
Operation: Known Casualties by u/Lethio1837
Are Your Dogs Chipped? by u/Ice_Fox_Of_Camelot
And Chasma Couriers by Mahlzeit
(I don't know if Ice_Fox or Mahlzeit have Reddit accounts. If they do, please let me know and I'll add a link to their accounts.)

Anyway, that's all for now. Once again, words cannot describe how much I appreciate all of the positivity and kind words I've received over the past 10 days. Thank you so, so, so much!

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hi! I hope you've have a good day/night! As always, thank you all so much for your kind comments, it really warms my heart.

The story document is still being worked on. I can't wait to talk about it when it's finished.

TRANSCRIPT:

"It looks like there's internal bruising."
"There's a painkiller gel in that bandage."
"Stay seated. I'm going to check for more injuries. Just in case."

"Affirmative."

"So... Why "Milky""

"It's my kind's informal name."

"...So it's not your name."

"I suppose not."

"I'll call you "Fluffy""

"I see! In that case, I'll call you "Dipshit""
"...What is your name?"

"It's Myles."

"...I think I want a name..."

"I'll help you find one."

"...Thank you."

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

I hope you've had a good day/night. I did more more experimentation with brush thickness in this page.

I'm going to write a story document for TOWGA. I'll have more information about my future plans for this comic once the story document is finished.

TRANSCRIPTION:

"Okay. Gonna put you on the chair here."
"Is it broken?"

"No. I checked."

"Is that yellow spot a bruise?"

"Yes."

"Looks bad. I have something that'll help."

"I was not expecting a pirate to be so... Soft."

"Really?"
"What were you expecting?"
"A peg leg? An accent? A parrot?"

"Of course not!"
"A-Absurd!"

"Ahoy there, matey."

"Stop, you're being foolish."
"(Hehe...)"

This page is a little later than usual. Sorry! I hope you've all had a good day/night.
For a little clarification, the workbench the gun was on is near Milky's crate. So they could reach out and grab it without climbing out of the crate. I should have portrayed that better. Sorry! I'm still learning, so I'll make sure to avoid mistakes like that again.

Fun fact: The thief is roughly 6 feet tall. He's going to make every other character look small by comparison

TRANSCRIPTION:

"You couldn't have used it."
"It's a freakin' handcannon."
"Why don't you get out of the crate?"

"My leg is injured."
"I can't climb out..."

"I'll lift you out."

"Refrain."

"It's the safest and easiest way."

"Fine."

"Sorry."

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Once again, I hope everyone is having a good day/night! I'm still practicing with dialogue placement, I hope I'm doing good so far.

I have another question for the community: Are the page transcriptions useful? Should I keep them around?

TRANSCRIPTION:

"You're different."

"Is that good?"

"I think."

"One more thing."
"The... The gun is missing."

"Nonono I-"

"Calm down."

"A-Are you angry?"

"No, Milky, I'm scared."
"Let's put the gun back where it belongs."
"You said I was different, right?"

"...Okay..."

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hi! I hope you're having a good day/night. This is another dialogue heavy page. If you notice that there's something different about my art, it's because I'm experimenting with a new brush thickness. The characters all have thinner outlines now. What do you think? Is it a good change?

TRANSCRIPT:

"Ship's on auto now."
"Can I come in?"

"W-What?"

"Can I?"

"No."

"Okay. But I still have questions."

(The Milky nods their head.)

"What are you?"

"I am called a sawian..."

"Why were you in that crate?"

"..."

"Okay... How about a name?"

"I never recieved a name."

"Seriously?"

"I was made in a laboratory...
"...Call me "Milky.""

"Okay... Uh... Milky. I'm guessing the Company made you. Why?"

"They... They needed cheap and expendable test subjects."

"Oh HELL NO! You serious?"

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hello everyone! I hope you've all been having a good day/night.
Once again, thank you everyone for leaving such kind comments on the previous pages!

I don't think the background for this page turned out very good. I need more practice.

TRANSCRIPT:

(BEEP!)
"Shit, I need to fly this thing."

"Fly?"

"We're on a ship."

"Where are you taking me?"

"I have no idea."

"LIAR!"
"You're with the Company!"

"What? Oh... Uh... Actually, I'm stealing from the Company."

"You are... Stealing me?"

"Uhh... I guess??"

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

When I posted page 1, I was not expecting such a large response from the community. Thank you everyone for your kind words and your support!

This is my first time drawing a sawian, I hope I did okay.

TRANSCRIPT:

"The hell am I looking at?"
"I should probably-"

(The Milky throws a rock at the human.)
(Plok!)

"Stay away!"
"What???"
"You heard me!"
"You talk???"
"Of course I do!"
