Lash will have to tell you the history of Seksha, and how its inhabitants came to look like they do.
Iritt is definitely female, and has a primarily human body, but she has the butterfly wings and antennae. She's smaller than humans.
Hoppa looks like a combination of grasshopper and human, and she is female. She is a bit taller than the typical human. I would assume that a male of her kind would look armored, as she is.
Pede is male, and looks like a centipede but with a humanized face. Yes, he is one of Omarr's Assassins.
The ant folk look like ...ants... that stand erect. By the way, their gender is not obvious. Maybe they're female? They are smaller than typical humans.
The 2 characters in front are not obviously male or female, but that should become clear in #4's story.
I loved the bug characters from this series so much, I just HAD to spotlight them on this cover!

It's a valid question but one I haven't figured out the answer to
Short answer: If you stand Johnny Comet and Hoppa side by side and then devolve them, what's left of Johnny would be protoplasm and what's left of Hoppa would be a tiny lil grasshopper.
Why their species evolved with specific types of anatomy is open to interpretation I'll just say for now, that's how the Creator made 'em.
And Pede is an awfully cute name for an assassin! I'm surprised he didn't change it to Pisen or Pesin or Pois or . . .. Is he poisonous, by the way? Many of the centi/milli types are, I think. Or maybe acid poison? Or he curls around a victim and crushes them or rips them apart with his feets! sigh Violent little buggy thoughts. ( )

The question is fun but also thought-provoking. I enjoy being asked about all these guys that 14 or 15 year old me never would have thought anyone but me would know about. Thank you!
Pede is more the crush/kill/rips you apart type. Not reflective of any cuteness in his name at all. I love how Dean draws him, and all of them.
Yeah, I am both fascinated and repulsed by 'bug culture'. Some of it is going to be seen during the scenes on Seksha in issues 4-5. Wish I'd been able to explore it more.
As an artist, I have plenty of options for how to depict certain scenes. I really thought about the way I did all of the new pages, and stand by my decisions.
They are certainly not pornographic, in fact, they are pretty tame, but they do push the envelope a little bit. I'm just being very careful here. They are thumbnailed, and I put a little content notice on the pages in question.
I LOVE these pages, and I thank Lash very much for the script!!!!

Love, love, love the Irrit and Overthink page. What a wonderful relationship.
Love the red background work. Johnny must be pretty desperate to go to a vampire, and not very smart.
I can hardly wait to see who's gone. I'm guessing the gal with all the hair, the purple guy, and possibly, the red guy and the brown haired guy. (Sorry for my lack of memory on names.)
