One of the very early sketches of my worldbuilding project, including some early iterations of main characters. On the left is a woman who was experimented on by a megacorp that resulted in her having some uncontrollable side effects (along with her small flying robot pal in the top right); in the middle in the former pilot turned amputee veteran turned independent adventurer; on the right is her partner who was a human soldier that became riddled with disease from exposure to chemicals and had his brain transplanted to a robotic shell.

That's right. In a rare happening, this makes the Navy the least silly branch.

Don't worry, the G2 accepts STANAG Draft magazines, because not accepting them for a 5.56mm rifle is silly. G2 could accept NATO standard 5.56mm ammunition, because the original rifle being designed for special French 5.56mm was double silly.

Also the Felin is what happens when a Land Warrior type program escapes captivity and starts breeding in the wild.

I agree. Hellboy is recognizable immediately, but the style is so drastically different from Mignola. It's a skill to translate a character from their home style and keep the essence.

Cool sketch. Good lips. Full lips are such a struggle to do right.

I like that they're birds.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Cagoules (cowls) were the term used by the French to refer to these paint camouflaged outfits. French artillery troops begin to make the outfits themselves after realizing that enemy planes could spot them from the air.

Batman is unstoppably determined. That's one of his traits. What other explanation are you looking for about how he powered through getting stabbed beyond that he just willed himself to keep going?

Of course, the standard joke answer is that he’s the Batman (so he can take it when others can’t).

What about this is a joke answer?

Couldn’t you have dumped it out in there or was there not one?

Guess.

Also, I would have just shoved it in a bag.

This accomplishes what? The only bags you have available at a TSA checkpoint are carry on. I didn't check it because was keeping the bottle with me for the flight, that was the whole point.

It was a cheap bottle and I replaced it on the company dime anyway, so for me it wasn't a real loss. What I was illustrating was that right or wrong, if a stupid TSA agent makes a decision, you are in for a headache.

I've also had them also almost take Torx bits (they insisted they were drill bits) and a multimeter away from me. Those ones I actually waited for a supervisor to show up and let me through, but it again illustrates that you aren't dealing with the top of the class here.

Just bring an empty bottle and fill it up on the other side of security.

The rules as written don't matter unless you have spare time to spend arguing with the brick wall that is an obstinate TSA agent, and even then good luck. Not too long ago I had to give up a reusable bottle with ice in it. There was a small amount of water from ice melting while in line for security, but clearly much under the limit. TSA agent pointed out how high up the water was in the bottle (which wasn't that far even, maybe an inch and most of the volume was taken up by ice). It was ridiculous. No I wasn't allowed to just drink it, no I wasn't allowed to just dump the ice out. The choice was give up the bottle or go back through security again.

I was correct, and the agent had a bad grasp of what an allowed amount of liquid in ice looks like, but in practical terms she won because I had a flight to catch and she didn't.
