The hair color is still different.

Christopher · February 22 2012, 11:09 PM

^The color looks about the same to me in that page.

Yevetha · February 22 2012, 11:27 PM

Its because Kirk is in the shade.

Christopher · February 22 2012, 11:28 PM

^Who cares? My point was simply that the artist seemed to be paying homage to the original episode by designing the Sam character in such a way that he resembled Kirk with a moustache.

Yevetha · February 22 2012, 11:31 PM

Yeah but Leto would still be better.

Christopher · February 23 2012, 12:14 AM

^I wasn't making a casting suggestion at all, okay? I was commenting on the art on the comic book page.

Yevetha · February 23 2012, 12:18 AM

Ok.

I'm always willing to put a foot forward. In my head, the Caeliar always looked like this:

Sorta. Or maybe not.

Although he looks nothing like the description in the books I always imagine SecondGen as Robot 1-X from Futurama:

Heh. Actually, I always thought of White-Blue as looking a bit like the Tachikomas from the anime series Ghost in the Shell: http://www.robotsnob.com/pictures/tachikoma.jpg

Christopher · February 23 2012, 03:33 PM

Ooh, a Tachikoma on the Titan crew? I'm sold! Does he have the cute little-girl voice?

SD70ACe · February 23 2012, 09:05 PM

If it doesn't, then why bother?

I'd also love to see one of Lawrence Miles' conceptual entities show up on Titan, but you really can't "cast" that. (Ensign Shift, anyone?)

Looks like a cross between a salarian and a turian from Mass Effect.

I pictured him as looking like a Monitor from the Halo games: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Monitor

He has legs, though - I describe him in Synthesis as being "spider-like"...

Mojomoe · March 3 2012, 07:16 PM

^Right. I'm going back through Synthesis now trying to grab details.

Spider-like, with a haphazard framework built from recycled parts. Head that can rotate, multiple eye lenses. Antennae I believe? And multicolored lights set inside a frame that's the size of a cargo drum, and "as much art as technology" in its design.

Would you wanna do a sketch? I think you're the only one qualified to get it right.
