Hands can say a lot about a person.
So like. I got - a ref/stock pack of hand photos. Because drawing hands is!!?! Really hard.
And I just bullshit it usually.
So I’m being a good Swords and studying the blade the hand.
SO
Chen- love me these well worn dog gnawed hands!! Also, my advent calendar has been inflicting green tea upon me. And my dog gives big wet baby eyes whenever I hold something so. Inflicting this trait upon Spoonóg. Referenced the hands from @limepigeon ‘s art because I am. A little tired, and they drew good hands.
Mortum- oh I had to roll a die about which Mortum to use (aka, which villian helmet to be holding), but coming out with Maneater and m!mortum (who she? Might? Be romancing?) delighted me. Kinda put less emphasis on the hands than I really wanted (esp once I chose to add colour…) but. Y’kno. Could be worse, I like the final effect. Kinda fun to draw the mask ‘deactivated’, with its tendrils more limp.
Ortega- I HAD to go for the chipped sidestep mug, you see. Scruffy scraggly ‘I cut my hair short with a knife last night ’ Julia moments.
As I’m like actively posting this I think I want to work on the ports/mods more but the best thing is!!! I can come back to this later.

this was a long time coming .
Oh the comedy and irony of Marshal Steel being on the breakroom fridge! Karma really does come for everyone.
Julia is honestly living her best life after years of Chen's dissaproving looks. Argent will never let Steel live this down (and also happy that this 100% makes people forget that she also kissed Sidestep). Herald probably regrets ever taking the hero drug rn.
And Chen? well he's just going to have to find more subtle places to kiss his villain boyfriend - the papparazi is truly everywhere.
meanwhile, at the Sidestep base:
(you're lucky River likes you so much Nehal or your ass would be fired)

OK CHEN BASEBALL THOUGHTS.
im not sure how big of a fan he is but i like baseball so im deciding he likes it a good deal. we know he roots for the home team, the New York Mets, off of his baseball cap. he's not much of a tv guy to me so i think he grew up listening to games on the radio.
he had a little setup next to the window so he could do his homework and listen in. when they would say "pitch on the way" his pencil would pause for a second as he waited for the call. it was never too loud, as to not bother anyone else in the house, and i think the radio was the little portable kind with an earphone jack and a bunch of other random shit like a flashlight and a crack to power it (i had one of these, naturally)
these things probably came in handy when he was on the streets, a little comfort to hold onto.
back in the sidestep era ortega never SAID he was doing it, but his team debriefs did coincidentally end just before games were about to start and chen always appreciated it
even now in his new office, the commentators chatter quietly in the background and his typing still pause in that breath before strike or ball
