Incorrect Quotes #6

Zig [SURNAME], Beht [SURNAME] and Gorrik [SURNAME] -- Personal Assistants Private Henchmen Errand Boys Bums -- Dyrus's remarks: There's a saying amongst the officers: If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. If it's not worth doing, give it to those three. They ache for responsibility but constantly fail to complete set tasks. Astoundingly incompetent. Possibly orphaned.  Probably have more teeth than brain cells collectively. Promotion prospects: comical.

Source: Red Dwarf, obviously altered to suit the characters a little more

With D(C)yrus's DS sprites: (here)

Hanging out with the boss

Funnily, I've made up some stuff about Dyrus, too. For instance, he's got a few secrets -- that he's extremely arachnophobic, and that he has a collection of soap-opera box sets, for instance. Also, I have no idea how Zig, Beht & Gorrik even make it into his private property, despite (likely) being heavily monitered by cameras and security guards.

Anyways, some sitcom-y kind of doodles

Humidity just does that
So, I'm at the Philippines to help mum with her high school reunion stuff, and I've forgotten how much the heat here is different from Australian summers. It's more humid so you feel all sticky, and it gets awkward to stand up from a faux leather couch while wearing short-ish shorts, haha.
Dyrus ordered him to get rid of that tarantula
(or Kaio's equivalent, since the animals are probably different there)
Gave Dyrus some severe arachnophobia to punish him a little. And to give him some more humanity, especially since I like to make the three invade his private life sometimes (so, headcanons like this should come naturally). Also, this may be a little out-of-character for Zig to gently carry a tarantula with his hands, but I just thought it would be a little funnier this way. Maybe he's just trying to act tough.
Zig is a bit particular when it comes to loyalty
Also, I have another unfinished doodle of the bros intruding Dyrus's marathon of a soap opera, where there's an intimate scene on TV causing Zig, Beht & Gorrik to freak out, covering each other's eyes, so Dyrus screams at them, "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I hope to get to finishing that someday because I think the delivery is hilarious xD
Neal but not Neal
I dunno what exactly, but liked the vibes of this one enough to post it
Fired
There's a funny scenario in my head where after they get fired, they feel so lost. They stumble across Neal and he teaches them about the wonders of a boss-less life. They enjoy it for a while, but suddenly they stop functioning and claim to need to work under a terrible boss. And so they try to get back to Dyrus, who coincidentally is looking for disposable pawns because his existing workers are too useful, and so they all end up back together x'D

Typical henchman stuff

Telling Neal to take them to the ruins, or else…
(All this happened off-screen, but I do wish there were cutscenes for this plot point xD)
Interrogating the poor explorer
(featuring da boss)
AU with free roaming Spectrobes
Neal’s gone exploring with the bros and is actually not being threatened in this scenario. (Unfortunately for Zig & Gorrik, all the nerd stuff comes first)
Something more slice-of-life-y
A bit different from the more action-adventure/humorous sort of tone I’m used to doodling. Zig is definitely going to use this information not for bad-guy purposes at all xD
Jeena in the trio’s outfits
Personally, I like the look she has with goggles on.

Also, she and Beht share the same know-it-all pose — that being the reason I drew her like that xD

Madame D.

IDK I just felt like seeing how I should make R63 Dyrus look like xd I wanted her to give off the same vibes as (how I draw) Dyrus himself.

But... Why? Who on Earth would want to see this? ... ... ... ... ...C'est moi :P

Look at this evil filthy capitalist lady! She's eeevil!!!
Also, screw perspective, these are just dumb doodles

First Disguise

Unassuming valley girls, that's the disguise x'D

Based off this: 

They're kinda killin' it, not gonna lie
Dedication to the boss is everything
Tea break at a tea shop
Stereotypical henchmen stuff
I hope to put them into more disguises in the future xD

PowerPoint night

(We actually used Google Slides, but whatever)

Anyways, two of my best friends and I had a PowerPoint presentation night, and I saw this as a great opportunity to fully introduce them to the guys from Menahat xD

Here are some highlights


The slide that introduces the characters

The three


The three, individually


The others


Misc stuff


I also introduced the girls from Menahat


I think it’s unfair how (slightly) little attention I give to Beht compared to the other two, but his genderbent version has me head-over-heels. I think I need to compensate.

Some comments I remember:

  • One of them feeling bad for Gorrik in that opinions chart with the bros, he's the only one with positive comments about the other two
  • They've been Pokemon fans, especially in middle school, stated that the bros were so Team Rocket coded x'D
  • Something along the lines of "How did we go from this to that?!" when discussing Beht and the female version I created from him x'D
  • (If I remember more comments, I'll add them)
