Chapter01 Bumper

First bumper illustration!
My theme for the bumper illustrations will
be seeing Jupiter and Otto in the past so we can see them growing up –
or “getting older” in Jupiter's case. The illustrations will converge
on a certain point in time.
Since I won't be able to show all the
places in time Jupiter's been in the regular comic, these illustrations
will help convey his age and experience. I plan on going in order of
time, so it should be pretty fun.
SO. If there's a certain place and time you want to see Jupiter, go ahead and suggest. Anything after 1000 AD is good.
It
doesn't have to be a specific historical incidence to be at – in fact
I'd rather only do a few of those. I don't want to do the silly
Hollywood route where he's at every important event ever. But feel free
to name a few of those, too.
This first one is a very “young”
Jupiter with his first friends who're also the first people who got to
study the big guy. Al-Kareem probably brought him there. Finding
reference for Muslim clothing from 1000AD is very difficult, so I ended
up just using portraits of scholars/scientists from the time as
reference. They were doing some very cool stuff at that time – it was
known as the "Islamic Golden Age".
