Ask ARA public update! Radoslav and ARA do a little back and forth. I realized it’s fine to not force comedy into every single strip, so I did a bit of character-world-work here, just a basic premise on how they speak and view a few things.
How do characters handle certain situations? How to introduce Radoslav? Let’s find out.
ARA has clearly forgotten all formal protocols. It’s trouble time?
Vikna, standing there judging, just like Zeta did. At least Vikna is a bit more friendly than motherly. So the Emperor is coming and they need to figure this out quickly~!
“From FK: Welcome back! I’m re-working Ask ARA a little bit. It was getting overwhelming, intimidating, and with so many questions asked from Tumblr, Patreon, elsewhere, I needed a better structure to go on.
Ask ARA will instead take questions from my Patreons, I’ll sift through and poll out the best to next continue with, in a “choose-your-own-adventure” style set pieces. These will be in small story-like structures. While not canon, it’ll still display characters, worldbuilding, with occasional 4th-wall or popular humour thrown in, just like before. I hope this makes it a bit easier on me, and more enjoyable as stories for you all.
I really appreciate the reblogs, likes, support this gets; even non-monetary help like that pushes it to grow and reach others. I’m always up for feedback on how to try and make it better! Thank you to my Patreons for making this blog possible!”
(Also note: ARA and other AI, along with some Kaltag personnel nickname Zeta “mother” for her orderly and mother-like role on the stations and ships.)
Introducing Zeta, the head of Kaltag’s AI group. She’s a taller, more experienced, slightly sassy figure, modeled after a custom species of mine.
(Hi guys! It’s been a long time since I’ve updated Ask ARA. The TL;DR reason is because of my indecisiveness to pick ideas to draw, and intimidating comparisons to my other work. I’m going to restructure it a bit, mostly supported by my patrons, as this is a Patreon-rewarded goal, starting in February. Art and such will still be posted here for all! Just trying to make the scope more manageable.)

“Well.. I -can- eat, but I fear I don’t get the same satisfaction as you all from it. It’s not required, but I can consume! I just cannot taste. …yet.”

“We don’t always, there are some models designed to operate just fine without them, but for much of the reasoning is aesthetics. It also helps some fit in and makes others more natural or comfortable to be around!”
Q
eckoonz asked:
What kind of recreation is aboard you ship? As in do they have an open arboretum, halo deck, or social club area like 10 Forward on the Enterprise?
A
“Of course! For the organic lifeforms there’s plenty to do. Play activities, simulations, lounges and such. Only strictly private or specialized vessels might not have any. We have a lot of sports and recreational game-type things here, I should go over them sometime.”
