Rhaco - Blog Posts

geckos AU : Sephiroth + Genesis + Angeal (I said I would do it, didn't I?)

got sick with the flu last week so I designed AGS as side characters for Rhaco: Geckos of New Caledonia.

Introducing the Dead (Bird) Poets' Club!

Genos (Satanic Leaf-tailed gecko) is the club's self-declared leader, as he is also its founder. He's a theater kid and came up with the idea of carrying around bird wings strung up like costumes to perform roles from his favorite plays (mostly Leafless).

Seflop (Giant Leaf-tailed gecko) is the club's de facto leader on account of his actual bird-killing track record. At first this was accidental, but now he has a problem and they can’t make him stop... what's his deal with property damage all of a sudden? The hair is a cape of egret feathers. They're not natural... we think.

Anjil (Frilled Leaf-tailed gecko) was roped into his best friends' club and now acts as damage control, carrying the overflow wings from their bird-killing sprees. He is on good terms with Zekk and routinely apologizes for the club's antics. He also doesn't just leave.

I only had time for AGS right now, but as for Cloud and Zack-- they run a joint tailoring shop in the gecko village (feathers, leaves, & fur fashion). Clao does mainly feathers, so he's a constant victim of his wares being raided by the AGS club.

Full cover for my senior thesis comic Rhaco: Geckos of New Caledonia

A children’s edufantasy starring three young geckos learning their place within their community, the ecosystem New Caledonia— and protecting musical ghosts from a mysterious threat through lessons in Song magic!

The main characters are Ves the crested gecko, his best friend Bram the chahoua, and his little half-brother Srax (also crested gecko). In this first installment, we learn about the musical ghost shepherds.

Remember when I said I would draw the Firsts as extras (gextras) for my thesis comic about geckos? Yeah I still haven’t had time for that

but what I CAN give you is my slideshow presentation about what geckos I would design AGSZC as

I think this is what they call a special interest :)

The AGS trio would probably be cameos from a different island since my comic is set in New Caledonia
