Some of the most fun creative challenges can be the ones where I don’t give a fuck about the subject. Case in point: to remake / remodel Rom the Spaceknight, the star of a comic I never read, based on a toy I never played with.
I can’t find the place this was originally posted (probably Warren Ellis’ The Engine), so I can’t quote the specific instructions. For some reason, I decided that this artificial entity should be hermaphroditic.
