Now for a small explanation, the decision was really hard as the other designs were cool too, seriously, it took me so long to pick that one perfect Boss! I had to take
a lot of things under consideration to narrow it down. I can list some of the most important resons for my final decision: (SAB spoilers ahead)
- personal feelings and drawing style weren't playing any role in my judging. I went for the system that would benefit the SAB story the most.
- Mercuria is Boss' lover, so I started from that part. She has
quite some standards if it comes to dating... so she was a big help in the process of choosing few of the candidates. It felt a bit like me playing the matchmaker, lol.
- Jun doesn't suspect the Boss for killing Sigma, not until he reads Sigma's chat logs and draws his conclusions. So I looked into who might be the least suspicious to him, and play the "devil in disguide" role to deceive Jun.
- I took the Boss vs Sigma relationship under consideration too, and how they went from friends to foes. Pondered about the relationship with other chiefs from Bio and Tech department too. How his department would see him. How the Wraiths would treat him.
- I also looked a lot into the info you guys provided me, when you presented your works. The included research and bits about Boss' details were really helpful.
Now to the others
Shall we?
In the story, the Boss has a team of trusted scientists from not only his department but other fields too, to help him with a secret project. Not even Mercuria would have any idea about what's going on. I can't say anything more, because it would spoil the finale, but it has something to do with a Homunculus that's created outside the serial line.
I would like to ask the other contestants, if I can use your designs to assemble the Boss' secret project team?
You will be credited and your design will appear in the comic.
With the only exception that they will appear less than the Boss himself. Like a cameo appearance. But definitely more than once.
I don't want to do it without your permission, so please let me know. Even if you disagree, please let me know.
