Vasquez seemed to want his characters to be un-pairing-able. (Or perhaps he just wanted to present the fandom with a bit of a challenge...)

More a humming in the back of his throat, really, but yeah. Purr.

Really? You don't just think he's a hateful kind of guy? XD (I think he came out on the side of 'surprised and horrified.' Or maybe that was just the team behind Invader ZIM. I shall have to review the collected press releases. *doesn't leave seat. Balances pencil on upper lip* Yep.)

Nobody knows how cats purr, anyway. It could be humming. Maybe they're tone-deaf. *doodles Tybalt with cat-ears, lol*

Oh, he just hides it well. *prepares to enter the witness protection program should Vasquez ever find out she said this*

While doing initial designs, I had few doodles of Tybalt with cat ears. *snerk*

But you cannot escape the ever-seeing eye of his space stationnn~!

His hair is shorter, isn't it? (I was looking back at some of the older drawings of him.)

*dons an aluminum foil hat* But now he cannot read my brainwaves! AHA!

A tad bit. But he also doesn't have those neat tattoos here, so we can safely say that this is before the events of the story. His hair had time to grow out after that.

I was a bit more worried about the death-ray, but sure.

Makes sense. Why did he get the tattoos? Perhaps to disguise horrific swordfight-scars? Or did he just move out of his parents' house? (...Or mansion, or estate, I don't know how rich those Capulets were.)

Probably got them in a rebellious phase at college, to distinguish himself. (From what, exactly, is anyone's guess.) And, of course, to annoy his parents back on the estate. (Now that you've mentioned it, they probably are that rich.)

Plus, they add a lot to his design. By which I mean- girls (and apparently some guys, like dear Mercutio) dig guys with cool tattoos.

Sounds good.

...For some reason I give my characters tattoos in places I will never draw. Haha. Didn't quite catch on to the design aspect, there.
