SCANS: The Prediction

Something I came across while browsing through a digital collection of classic MAD magazines, in search for Lady in Grey reference needed for a commission (which I have ordered from another artist)...

ART: Playtoon, September 2073

 For Fern and the celebration of MLaaTR's 10th Anniversary!

Here's another Playtoon cover!

I tried to stick on-model as close as possible when drawing Vega. She's probably one of the most challenging MLaaTR characters to draw, mostly because there isn't any official reference of her beyond 'Escape from Cluster Prime' which was her only appearance in the show. I actually had the picture finished by Sunday afternoon but I held back releasing it until I had made certain there wasn't anything that needed to be changed or tweaked. Thankfully, it was worth it as there were some blaring typos present. Toonspew also suggested giving Vega a belly button to make her anatomy match Jenny's, which I think was a great idea as it really balances out the otherwise barren midriff, and Sadarax helped me figure out the series' timeline so that I could use the proper year (2073 in this case).

The mock article teases, once again, are based mostly on actual MLaaTR episodes, with some fanon/headcanon thrown into the mix. The most obvious one would probably be the one mentioning a 'happy ending' for Melody. Those of you who have seen the not-so-great third season of the show are well aware of some of the downer episodes that pretty much pitted Jenny against characters that had earlier been her (or the other protagonists') allies. In this case, I felt it would be neat to hint that Melody's story wasn't over just yet and that truce could be achieved.

Oh, and the high price is because according to Back to the Future Part II, there will be massive inflation in the future.

Hope you enjoy the pic!
