WOW I finally got around to finishing up art of my vykkers so I can post this shit. Welcome to the dubious science zone………..
Viv and Murphy work in a facility which apparently has a lot of money going spare because they do a lot of experimental (and, honestly, a lot of self-indulgent) stuff like… making these things. The company they work for has big ambitions and lets them do some off-the-wall things in pursuit of those lofty aspirations. The more immediately-marketable stuff they come up with is just to keep the place afloat until they hit big money. So far, it’s working out.
The critters here were originally one single animal that I did like, one painting and some sketches of, and THAT was repurposed from my very first ever attempt at making a comic. Ultimately I shelved the lab critter because I couldn’t figure out a way to make it work and have all of the traits I wanted but then I came back around to making some vykkers/gross characters for the sake of gross and it seemed like a good opportunity to revisit them. I ended up splitting them into multiple creatures which has worked out much better
