Claw McKain, you just picked my curiosity, I would like to know in which Dungeons and Dragons bestiary did those monsters appeared. Perhaps I will use them in my next homemade campaign.

I think they’d all agree that the shit they were smoking was
amazingly good, then wonder what this bizarre cartoon they were watching was.

Well, I have a question, but it sort of pertains to Skunkworks AMA
appearing in my own comic to help the storyline move along. There's only a few
scenes, not much, but as the storyline goes for this particular chronicle, an
insane CEO of a big time lawfirm has hired an assassin to kill celebrities so
he may have "trophies" of the said celebrities. The one the assassin
went after is a Pangonain comedian called Mad Cat. Most Pangonains have super
powers or magic and this comedian is no exception, having the powers of a toon,
making him indestructible, but really odd at the same time. Because of this
power the assassin failed to kill him as it's impossible. So having fail this
she heads out to take out a different celebrity.
The Pangonain Bounty Hunters, a bounty hunter organization my character, Claw,
works for gets word that there's an assassin going around trying to kill
celebrities for some reason. The PBH commander decides to send off the bounty
hunter squads to aid local police in protecting these celebrities. Claw's
hunter squad, the Midnight Squad, is sent off to protect ZZ Studios. The
Nightmare Squad is sent off to protect SAMA. The Nightmare Squad consists of a
specter panther named Effriax, a gray British shorthaired cat named Queed, a
nightmare named Yashashien Rekkaoni, a howler named Quan LeShin, a mutilator
named Kohou Notenchuu, and a black vampire bat named Blood Fang.
For those that don't know about the unusual species... A Nightmare is often
depicted as a black horse with fiery hooves and a mane of fire. A Howler is
often depict as a dog, much like a German Shepard, with quill growing out from
under its fur along its back. A Specter Panther is a panther so dark that it's
basically a walking shadow, even with pure black eyes, and as such its eyes and
fur do not reflect or cast any gleam of light. And a Mutilator (caled a
Krenshar in D&D) is a type of feline somewhat simular to a cheetah, but has
a natural ability to peel its flesh away from the face of its skull as an
intimidation tactic.
My question is as to how the SAMA staff would react to a situation like this.

Subject: [SkunkworksAMA] And now, an explanation is due...
This is copied from my FA page, in case you're wondering. Just thought I'd post
some info here about what's going on with the artwork, in case anyone was
wondering...
Okay, I've been meaning to write something like this for quite awhile, but
haven't really had the time. There seems to be some confusion about some of my
work, and the characters involved in said work. So hopefully, this little
journal will help to explain things.
Firstly, I need to explain the premise behind the Skunkworks studio, and the
products they make. The studio itself is an advertising and modeling agency.
They produce photos and ads for various companies, whether it's someone selling
cars, a new clothing line, a cologne advertisement, or whatever. This is their
usual fare.
But the studio also produces its own line of material, namely, the Skunkworks
folios (magazines) and such. Now, while their regular material is generally
photographic advertising or special graphics, their take on the adult theme is a
bit different. Here's an example:
You, the customer, purchase a smut magazine which happens to have a special
feature from the Skunkworks studio. What you see in this magazine is artwork of
sultry, shapely skunk girls engaging in sexual mischief. This is the studio's
product. But here's what goes on behind the scenes, and how the studio arrives
at the final product:
A theme or plot is decided upon for a new folio. Models are brought in, and
employees set up props, secure locations (if it's to be photographed outside the
studio), and ready the equipment (lights, cameras, fans, etcetera). The scene is
staged and photographed several different ways; this is repeated for each
individual scene.
After the film is processed, prints are compared and the best photo for that
scene is chosen. The chosen photos are then passed onto artists, who redraw the
photos. Sometimes the scenes are drawn in a cartoon-ish style, other times they
may be drawn a little more realistically. The models are often tweaked and
exaggerated, making them more shapely or fantastic than they may actually appear
in real life. Oftentimes, certain parts are also exaggerated a bit as well.
After the artwork has been completed, the images are produced as a folio, which
the studio can either sell directly to the public, or to various adult magazines
which publish the studio's work. As such, what a person is looking at is a
cartoon drawing of an actual scene, not the actual real-life scene itself.
Now, the reason I'm drawing the characters in a different style now is because
I'm returning to the Caterwaul storyline. Skunkworks does appear in the title on
several occasions, and since the Caterwaul storyline is meant to be viewed as
the "real world" version of the character's lives, it's important that the
characters look how they would appear in real life.
TL:DR version: The Skunkworks artwork is meant to be viewed as artistic versions
of the characters; ie, not true representations of the people themselves. The
Caterwaul series is a representation of the true characters themselves. The
Skunkworks material is an over-sexualized version of the characters, whereas the
Caterwaul material is meant to be viewed as the real-world characters.
It's also important to point out their world, economy and society is not a
mirror of our own. The people there have different rules, they behave
differently, and overall, their world probably shouldn't be compared to ours.
The website will have detailed information on all of this stuff once it is up
(which ought to be this summer).
Any questions? Comments? Hate mail? Drop it here, man, and I'll answer your
queries as soon as humanly possible.
