A lot going on compared to usual, but hella happy with how it came out, especially with the rendering. I wanted him to look shiny so hopefully that’s what happened (I have textless alt in case it’s too cramped).

Background: You’ve wandered into an active construction zone in the middle ring of Astar City in the business district because a stray cat crossed your path on your way to find the nearest convenience store to your new apartment. Being the intrepid animal lover you are, you immediately followed it, caution tape be damned, knowing it was very dangerous to be a cat among CAT equipment. You meant to duck in, grab the cat in your jacket and dip, but didn’t notice the top heavy stack of crates leaning toward you.

At the last second, you smack into someone that ran in to stop the boxes from falling, easily lifting the massive containers over their head while you fall flat on your butt. The wasp looks down, confused, and extends a small forearm, speaking in a crackly voice like a speaker that needed a tweak and asking if you were alright.

Yes, you know it’s a dangerous zone, but you needed to save the cat! He stacks the box back securely and offers to help you find the feline so you wouldn’t get in more trouble.
