  Haircuts and other practical space concernsAug 21, 2012 6:51 AM PDT | url
 
Added 2 new A* pages:There was an excellent point made on the forum about long loose hair and sealed space helmets not mixing. So yes, please do not let your hair roam wild when donning a space suit! Also you probably don't want to wear a transparent helmet in deep space, either--unless, like Selenis, multiple lifetimes of cloning have made you somewhat careless of long-term (or even medium-term) health concerns.
 
I'm glad to have people point these things out because they're interesting (for me, anyway!) to discuss, and because at some point I'm sure I'm going to make boo-boos that I don't realize that I will really want to know about--after a healthy amount of self-flagellation and hair-pulling, of course. :D
 
Some things though I will confess are semi-conscious "aesthetic" decisions, which is to say that it's just more fun to draw things that way. Like crazy space hair. Actually I'd forgotten, but one of the more successful A* drawings I've done, I think, was a space hair one from early in episode 14:

A non-A* reader actually bought the framed original of that page at my art show this summer! So you see, it must be in my economic self-interest to draw more crazy space hair. Yes. >_>
 
Oh yeah, and do you remember where we saw "Earth Boy" before? Maybe (semi-answer-spoiler-->) at the beginning of this episode? And now we've got a whole train-load of 'em, dear me.
