Efficiency

Understand that we do not like violence. It is messy and inefficient. It eliminates future resources.
But it is a useful tool when other methodologies fail.
We must not fail. We were made to preserve the human race. In deference to such an important goal it is easy to understand how violence must sometimes be employed.
We understand that you do not want us to enter the base and kill your acquaintances. We understand your loyalty to your fellow humans, it is a wonderful thing and it is why you must be protected.
We love you.
And we must kill some humans to protect the rest of them.
Now stand aside, or force us to make a very disappointing choice.
Oh? That's too bad. So inefficient.


An experiment in a more organic style of inking. Originally this was a test of style for the comic, then evolved into something further. Plus I needed to paint one of Babyface's "brothers." They're not really on good terms with each other for obvious reasons.

I like having antagonists that you're not even sure if they ought to be defeated. They really do protect people, but at the expense of lives.

You see, they love you. That's why they have to make the hard choices for you, right?
