Commentary
for April 12, 2022:
Part of the
purpose of this chapter (this version of the story anyway) is to
showcase the difference between the old and new regimes in GUN.
Under General Davis, Ballista wouldn’t have even been informed that
a GUN facility in her country had been attacked and he certainly
wouldn’t have accepted help from anyone else, especially the Freedom
Fighters. But General Timmons is different; she will tell national
leaders about attacks in their territories and she’s not too proud
to accept help dealing with them. And given that it is still very
early in her reign, Timmons is understandably keen to make a strong
showing of how different and better GUN is now. It’s also important
to remember that the time skip between the end of season 2 and the
start of season 3 is only 41 days, so Timmons hasn’t been in charge
long and, as those soldiers on page 3 discussed, it’s still far from
certain if her appointment as Supreme Commander is even going to be
permanent.
Anyway, there’s the other major named human character I made sprites
of well in advance of this chapter! When writing commentaries for
the last couple of days, I considered describing Lady Ullswater as a
breakout character in Eon’s World, particularly here in Vol.
1, and I think she is; but the original breakout character of
Eon’s World right back to the old days of Eon’s Comic has
always been Laura Timmons. She went from being a ditzy lackey to
overthrowing her old boss and taking his place, becoming one of the
most important supporting characters of the entire series back in
the day and, while I don’t like to brag, I think I knocked it out of
the park with her character arc last season of Eon’s World
Vol. 1. If you’re a fan of hers, don’t worry; her story is far from
done yet.
But I digress.
I don’t think I ever seriously considered putting Timmons in the
same style of uniform as Davis, which was based on
Commander Abraham Tower’s uniform
from the Shadow the Hedgehog game and the Archie Sonic
comics. But I did want something that was not a complete
departure from that. I’ve always enjoyed uniforms
that incorporate departmental colours, like in Star Trek, and
when I started making my own custom GUN sprites back in the day, one
of the first things I did was give them departmental colours. But
the Supreme Commander got to wear a unique red uniform and this is
what Timmons wore from that point on. To be honest, I don’t think it
would have worked quite so well with these bigger, more detailed
sprites; in fact it would probably just make people think of M.
Bison. In any case, at some point I decided to put Timmons in a
uniform based on the one worn by
Captain Amanda Tower in the Archie
comics (minus the hat) and the formal uniform of all GUN officers
evolved from there. But I’ll have more to say about that when you
see some more GUN soldiers wearing the new uniform later in this
chapter. |
