I'm gonna play with Kax some. He'll be a metamorph until I settle on an appearance, and then I'll go back and magically make him always have looked that way.
Chain of command question: Rear Admiral Mereis outranks Commander Kax, but the Commander has more 'juice'. Somewhat like a political officer in Soviet military?
Well, not only is he functionally a political officer, he's also part of the inner circle of the government and, as you can see, physically very intimidating.
That's right, you did mention something about dragons didn't you? And did you use the model for the ship here? It was replicated very well between the last two pages. Quite sharp looking.
1. I admire your firm handle on the 75% Principle as displayed in today's A.N.!
2. A modest proposal; Why not maintain Commander Kax as a metamorph? He certainly could be said to have cephalopod ancestry, and they are well known as shifty camouflagists! Also as fellow descendants of the Sea, it would be natural for himself and Mereis to be on the same wavelength!*
I must have played too much mass effect because Commander Kax kinda reminds me a turian and an asari had a kid. Uh, other than the way they would have a kid, asari magic reproduction and all.
It's a carrier right? If so is that the landing bay at the front? Seems like quite a weak point to be honest. Unless it's some giant laser! I see that Kax likes to keep his gardening skills up, even in space.
