In 2018, I made some outfits for the Celestion-5 crew and then proceeded to draft a whole story idea around them going undercover. It featured a bunch of plot beats, new characters, the whole nine yards.

If I remember correctly, the only reasons I didn't write this one out is because A) it was long, B) I was working on another long story idea (look out for it in Arc 2: Mars!), and C) this was before I fully decided to structure Galactiquest as a novel. I've been excited to make it back to this storyline, but I knew it would take a while.

Anyway, tada! Now I'm here. I still really like most of the original outfits, but some of them needed tweaking. Plus, I wanted to draw full outfits for the ones that were half-bodies.

There's a few more characters I need to design, but now that this is taken care of, I can work on the cover!

Notes under the cut:

-I don't usually know what to do when drawing footwear, so I'm glad I was able to make everyone's shoes unique. I probably won't end up drawing them in-story, but hey! At least I know what they look like in case I have to.

-Aiden and Mia? Literally perfect. I changed nothing about their designs except for giving them shoes. In fact, Mia still has the purse and phone. I just didn't know how to fit them into this sketch.

-Leon and Roxie were mostly perfect, I just needed to simplify some things so I could redraw them without crying. Leon also has a jet-pack backpack.

-...Actually, I think the section around Leon's wrist should be red. Hopefully I remember that when it comes time to draw him.

-I associate every character with a color, and Emil's and Angelo's are red and orange respectively. Their original outfits didn't reflect that in my opinion, so I swapped some colors around.

-Even back when I first drew this, I wasn't fully satisfied with Lorenzo's and Jun's outfits. They needed a full rehaul. It was a good excuse for me to give Lorenzo a fashion cape.

-For most of the transparent sections, like glasses, I used overlay and multiply, except for Mia's skirt, which I just colored it at 50% opacity. This is mostly for me to remember later. Jun's probably took me the longest to figure out, but I'm really happy with the results.
