With the whole Gnosis snafu that happened, there were quite a number of unhappy pilots. More notably a good chunk of explorers were parked there, most equipped with unarmed Asp Explorers (no weapons = lighter weight = bigger jump range). Thanks to a very priceless comment in one Reddit post, this comic was the result of that.
Hats off to you, poor AspX explorers. Let’s hope the odds are in your favor the next time.
Now and then we have contests in the Mobius PVE group. Most of these revolve around cartography data, finding griefers and even art contests. This recent one was for who posted the most amount of genuine content, which would result in being in the top ten contributors in the Facebook group.
The ten lucky boffins got picked, but I got special mention for the comics of the group! So when filling out the form to get my sticker packs, I had to upload “photo proof” of why I qualified for stickers. I got snarky instead, composing this instead of a screenshot.
I love Elite: Dangerous, I really do. But it’s a shame the only “fighter-like” ship is an Eagle or the things you launch. Even then, it wasn’t to my liking. So I doctored mine a bit. External missile points, a WW2 paint scheme and even a refueling probe on the nose.
Let’s hope the stickers get here soon.
Something I did for one of the people over at the ElitePVE/Mobius group; it was her birthday and I figured I’d finish up an old piece from January into a short comic.
The sassy and punny CMDR Taranava graces us with a worthwhile Anaconda joke. In the background is CMDR DEAMONSRUN9393, who is very grounded with anime tropes; hence his “nosebleed” reaction to Taranava perched on the Anaconda.

This was a lot earlier this year, but a short video of me engaged in combat during the Ngalia CG back in January. Wing mates are CMDR Tuvok and CMDR Haggisforce.
Original flight date 1-09-2018, in the Mobius PvE group.

I think at least 2/3rds of my time on this comic is being spent on backgrounds. Someone on Reddit made the comment that it’s not wasted, however. I set the tone and scene really well! So there’s that.
I decided to give Todd and Benthessia the other companions from the first comic, and let them come along for the ride. More people for the readers to love, right?
You can tell I had fun showing these characters linking up with each other.
And yes, Benthessia meditates, Vash’na has a plush whale and those are space guns below her.

So this is a project I took on after seeing some stuff over on r/AntiMLM, but you can say that this would be my first full-developed comic for quite awhile! I definitely don’t plan to stop this series, so hang in there and I’ll keep putting pages out.
I actually have this on a vote, and the peeps over there get to vote who becomes Todd’s girlfriend, along with some general story plots and directions. You’ll see some of that reflected in the second page when it comes out.
And yeah, those text boxes kind of burn the eyes; I’ve never done a comic page before; I’ll get better as I go along.
This was something fun I worked on randomly this evening, making a bit of fun of CMDR Taranava’s Duchess status. Obviously one of such social standing must have an entourage of maids and servants, so I decided to jokingly propose some of the CMDR’s maid staff.
From left to right:
Melody
Not so much a maid, more like a personal assistant and bodyguard. I see her knowing martial arts and doing things to keep the Duchess safe, along with tagging along with her to hold clipboards, and manage affairs.
Miyoko
A generic Imperial citizen that hails from Kamocan. Quiet, efficient and would take care of basically anything, but mostly housekeeping.
Hetricia
An old grump who divorced her husband, shuffles papers for the Duchess and makes sure her logistical needs are met. Yes, that is a Gutamaya-branded vacuum cleaner.
Stacey
A diva brat from a rich Imperial family, who’s now in debt and has to pay off her debts in Imperial indentured servitude. General work and housekeeping like Miyoko. Will join the Duchess if she does pranks and shenanigans.
Theodora
The Duchess’ personal wardrobe assistant, an Azrael native. Helps pick out outfits, along with carrying luggage and making sure she has what she needs in terms of attire.
Apparently this was a big hit on the boards, and a few of the members love certain maid assistants. I’ve been thrown the gauntlet to draw the maids toting various forms of weapons; we’ll see what that will hold.

Also the “crown” notation is a running joke on the board; apparently CMDR Taranava has a pretty spiffy headset with Imperial stickers on it. So the collective joke that the headset is the Duchess’ crown.
Having been part of Mobius PvE since July 2017, I had never really visited any of the Mobius systems or even their home base. I decided that needed to be changed. So during my travels near Imperial space I noticed Azrael wasn’t too far away, hopped over and stopped in. Didn’t get any T-shirt or anything, though.
When I started to do art for the Mobius PVE group, this was a nonsense doodle I spat out one evening, a few weeks after winning their art contest. It didn’t grab a lot of heads but it was still hilarious and a few people got some giggles out of it.
Up till now, I’ve pretty much been flying solo, due to either gankers mainly. I recently discovered the Mobius PvE group, and when the new CG came up, got to play with other people for the first time! IT was definitely cool indeed.
Me (Python), CMDR Yip Sama (Vulture) and CMDR Sinxar (Imperial Cutter) form a wing and mix it up in the Andhrimi 6B Ice ring (Hazardous Resource area). We finally part ways as I head back to base, only to be bulldozed over by another Cutter while docking.
Not exactly sure when my original flight date was, but I’ll update if I find that out.
