New Art; "Bee Queen"

Hi Everyone
  Here is a new piece of sci-fi Andy art. I have tried to capture the feel of real retro comic covers and give it a 50s B movie vibe Even down to the date and price. Old English money of cause.
   The set up is simple, but as the title of the adventure suggests this is not the first time Andy and The Bee Queen have done battle. However this time it is personal and the Queen is hell bent on eradicating the Galaxies hero/Heroine by one means or another. 



    I am not entirely sure if  the wings are like a cape effect or if they are a genuine pair and part of the total transformation the queen has planned for Andy. Personally I  like to think they are real and Andy is so close to losing this battle, because if you look you will notice Andy is completely sealed within a clear skin.
  I have no doubt that all your naughty minds can spot the details and fill in the blanks .
Thank you for such a great response to this side step, but rest assured Andy, in another timeline, is busy being embarrassed by his Aunt, as we shall very soon see.

    With on bound he was free!

    Andy was really getting worried. Already the colour of his uniform had changed to stripes like a bee and his gloves were completely black. What was happening to his face?, he wondered. His beautiful cape had almost disappeared to be replaced by what looked like a pair of bees wings! the Queen Bee looked on in triumph, brandishing her whip, her golden thigh boots gleaming. At that moment a worker bee entered, "Your Majesty, your Majesty" he cried "There's a problem!" The Queen turned in fury, "how dare you enter my presence unannounced? Get on your knees and lick my boots!" Terrified, he sank to his knees, expecting the lash of the Queen's whip at any moment. Andy, seeing the Queen distracted, took his last chance. With all his remaining strength he managed to push out his booted foot so that it just reached the switch of the Conversion Machine and managed to turn it to reverse. Immediately, he started to see his uniform change colour away from the black and yellow stripes. More importantly, he felt strength return to his arms and he was able to loosen the bonds holding him in place. Before the Queen realized what was happening, he was free and managed to grasp the cruel whip out of her gloved hand. "Please don't hurt me" she cried "I can't stand pain". "maybe you can't" replied Andy "but you don't mind inflicting it in others, do you?" With a curt gesture he told her to go in the cage in which he had earlier been brought before her. With a whimper she crept in and Andy bolted it securely. The Worker Bee watched all this in wonder and, bowing to Andy, said "Are you our new Queen, Mistress?" "Certainly not" he replied "go and tell your people you are free, I will deal with this creature" he said, brandishing the whip at the Queen Bee cowering in the cage. The Worker Bee rushed out. "right" thought Andy "lets get out of here, I will see if I can raise the ship". Retrieving his radio from the table by the Queen's throne, he soon managed to raise the ship, "Watson here" he said "everything sorted, Queen Bee in custody, people set free, come and pick us up". "Sure thing" replied Stevie, who had taken the call, "it wouldn't surprise me if you didn't get another promotion out of this". "Perhaps" replied Andy "anyway, see you soon, over and out". Andy looked down at his uniform which had turned into a sort of dull pink colour, not its proper gleaming pink, perhaps the conversion process had done some permanent damage. Well, uniforms and boots could be replaced. Glancing in a mirror, he realized, with a shock, that his normally immaculate make-up was a right mess, he couldn't be seen by the guys looking like this! Reaching into his holster, he found his emergency make-up kit nestling against his laser pistol which he had not had to use. Strictly against regulations, of course, but what was a self-respecting sissy to do? While making the necessary repairs to restore his pretty face, he wondered idly "another promotion! A brand new uniform! Captain's spurs on his ceremonial thigh boots! A new more elaborate cape! Captain's were allowed a lot more jewellery!" such a lot to look forward to.

    Hope you like it.

    1. OMG! OMG! O...M...G! Stevie you have created a masterpiece, Thank you so very much, you have captured the story and feel of the piece to perfection. I just love it. The little idea of despite his hard fought victory what he really needed was to retouch his make up just sounds perfectly like Andy along with his thoughts of "Oooo! another uniform?"
      I can not praise you enough for this. How long did it take to write?
      the only error was that you missed out Stevie's rank. He is Ensign Stevie, ensign being the lowest ranked commissioned officer, Andys junior but ever loyal sidekick and this piece of story telling is why you have been commissioned.
      Big Big hugs

      Glad you enjoyed it. It actually did not take long once I got started. I remember Saturday morning serials with the hero getting into ridiculously tight spots at the end of each episode and this was an enjoyable twist on that idea. Hope you still want to use my longer piece.

      Love and XXXXX

    3. Hi Stevie, I just read it again, it is wonderful and yes yes I shall be posting the super longer story in the near future.
      Thank you again

  3. I love the mask our heroine is wearing under the helmet. Too bad it must cover his beautiful hair, but it must serve a purpose we mortals are unaware of. Yet he still has his hoops in. he must be vacced into that uniform since almost every inch of his luscious body is encased. I especially liked the gloves that just keep on going up his slender arms.
    It would be a shame for the Queen to use her whip on him. I do not know if it would damage his latex encasement, but it might bring up an ugly welt underneath on his creamy white skin. Unblemished as of yet, of course.
    I do not thing honey is his color. Looking forward to a new iteration and he back in Pink and / or black. Will he be reborn?

    1. Hi Lee
      Oh my friend, you spot all the little details, yes I imagined that outfit vacced or melted on, it is after all a honey based Latex (not that i mentioned it before, due to the fact that I only just thought of it, thanks to you sparking my imagination).
      No I don't think Andy would choose that colour, he will be so much happier to be back in the pink or black.....or Red?....stay tuned.

      Thank You, Thank You

    2. Honey based ? ! ? ! You are a devious little Lady. I wonder if I could dip Andy in my tea to remove a layer or two? Would that be torture or would he enjoy it? Or both?
      As submissive as he may have been, there are new vistas and adventures to explore.

    3. You are right Lee so many other Avenues...to.....explore
      (Thinks)
      'Dipped in Tea....Dipped in tea?....that would mean Andy would have to be somewhat smaller....smaller? Miniaturized? or.....away! away to the drawing board!, Ha Ha INSPIRATION!!!!!!
      Thank you Lee XXXX

    4. A shrink ray, or chamber? Like the size of an actual bee? Hmmm
      I was thinking a very large cuppa.

    5. Large Cuppa? sure you ain't British? xx
      You are about to see what this shrink idea has produced in my new art.

      Yes i did and I am envious of your ability to complete such long form comics, I would love to be able to concentrate on one thing for so long.I mean, Maid to Order has over 100 pages!!!!
      Your work is superb and I thank you for taking the time to visit me

  5. What another wonderful and successful cover, Andy! While I like Steve's ideas I don't think that's what actually happens. I think that's in Andy's imagination as he sees himself as the hero(ine). I think actually he's doomed to play the 'Damsel in Distress' role. Yes he's brave and always charges in, but he keeps getting (embarrassingly) captured and has to be (even more embarrassingly) rescued by his superior officer, Colonel Will... As he nestles in the Colonel's strong and manly arms, he wonders, not for the first time, how his former best friend and college mate comes to be in VacSpace as well...!

    Best wishes, PL xxx

    1. Hi PL
      This is one of the things i love about posting my art for smart people like you PL, the amount of variants when it comes to reading the back stories is wonderful.
      I never thought Colonel Wilma Deering might be re-born as Colonel Will, what a clever idea.
      I love your rethinking of the new universe, because it is almost directly opposite to the way I thought it, However that being said it is still totally valid and fun. That being said I image Andy will bump into Colonel Will at some point.(however he got there, unless he took the long route as is in fact a direct descendant of Andys will)
