Babyface, or Brian, or Unit 728, or whatever the hell you were supposed to call him was in a bad mood. There was another senate hearing about scuttling every psyche warfare unit. It wouldn't go through, to the public he was still the hero that gutted the Childeater, it was just normal senate drama. However, it was understandably disconcerting to hear people arguing about lobotomizing you.
Joel was supposed to cheer him up, or at least get him to go back to training the other Tac-Comps. Millie was on vacation, and Madcap had all the emotional sensitivity of dead walrus, so it became Joel's job.
He knew Babyface knew he was there. But out of politeness he still said hello.
Babyface sighed, pulsing his cooling vents. "ADA put you up to this, didn't ze?
"Yeah, but ze's picking up the tab for seven cheesepumpkin burgers, so I didn't really protest too much." Joel said and sat down next to him. He handed Babyface a burger.
"Have you ever thought about going into unlimited sports? Madcap says it's fun."
"No, I'm not really into sports" Babyface stuffed another burger into his gullet and played with his plasma field.
"I appreciate your concern, and the burgers, but I need to be alone right now." And with that he stood up and started walking into the desert.
"O-okay, I'll be on base."
There was no reply.

Right:
"Congratulations! It's a... thing..."
Millie laughed at Abe's comment. "I've never held one before, I think real babies squirm more."
"Real babies have brains, these don't" said Abe, "Look over here, I'm going to take a picture, to commemorate your first chassis delivery!" Abe signaled his recorder to take a high-res picture.
"I'm naming this one Babyface, lookit, no split palate, no cyclopia, he's almost cute!"
"No, no, we can't name a chassis Babyface, it's an expensive piece of military hardware."
"Says, who, you named the last one Buick, that's a terrible name."
Abe conceded the point. "Okay, Babyface it is."

A few experiments in digital inking. I still prefer real ink, but I'd like to be able to replicate it on the computer. It's really hard to ink digitally though, and I think anyone claiming that drawing with a tablet automatically makes great art really has no experience with either traditional or digital art. Cats puke on your picture, photoshop crashes right before you were going to save... it's all hard.

The technical document is still coming, it's going to be pretty big

Photoshop CS3, Wacom tablet. I really like the right picture. Baaaby Babyface!
