DESCRIPTION:

Extrascape is a robotic musical duo. Ever heard of Daft Punk? Well, these guys really are robots: you can see their "heads" up there in the picture. On the left is 202-B (for Brave) and on the right is 713-DHC (for Disobedient, Honest, Calm). They create their music by hijacking other pieces of electronics such as computers, droid-operated assembly lines, even star ships. Their style is wide-ranging, and isn't always pleasant for human ears. Being robots they don't care for fame or fortune, but only wish to travel the galaxy making music in unlikely places.

NOTES:

This is an illustration from my Professor Odd series. It's from a story I haven't actually written yet, but it's going to be loads of fun. Robots, pop stars, malevolent alien forces, plus Odd and her crew (which includes a dog and a tentacle monster named Dave)… and the solution to the mystery is in a Matthew Ebel song. (I'm not even joking.)
