Here's Chelsea and Millie's mom, Clover. Prior to deciding to have kids she was the lead singer, guitarist and primary songwriter for the band Miss Machine.
Nowadays she mainly focuses on writing film scores and such, but she still enjoys playing her collection of guitars very frequently.

I did this illustration yesterday as a warm-up before drawing the new Chelsea & Millie comic that I'm drawing today. Yes, her amp does bear a rather close resemblance to a *coughMARSHALLcough* half-stack. I used my own half-stack as a reference y'see.

Tom :icontabris-the-17th: and I have been putting together a "comic bible" for Chelsea & Millie, similar to how TV shows have "show bibles". A few weeks ago I wrote out a brief history (6 pages) of the band Miss Machine, complete with a list of the albums (and the titles of the songs on each album) that they released.
Here's their discography:

Miss Machine (E.P.)
First Girl on the Moon
Lovers
Drizzlegirls
Amamaguzalan (B-sides and rarities collection)
Invidia

When the Chelsea & Millie site is up and running I'll have a section somewhere in there which will contain a list of all the song names and such as well.

And for the curious, here's an example of the sort of riffs Clover is playing on this guitar in this picture. [link]

Chuggada-chugga-chuggada-CHUNNNNGGG!

Thanks! I was going for an aspect of The Cute in this, so it's good to hear that I succeeded.

Don't miss Miss Machine, at The Vortex Machines. Double echo, echo.

But there'll be a site just for them, oh, wow.

There sure will be! All pretty-lookin'.

You may have noticed that I have a thing for machines, and mechanical things in general. ;)

The picture is cute and very earnest, and the accompanying guitar ain't half bad! Yours, or one of your cool bros?

Thanks man! I just made the guitar up from design ideas from a few different guitars; one of mine, and a couple online.

Actually I meant the recording, the Soundcloud clip, but yes, the guitar does look nice! :p

Oh, right right, of course. The music is from a bunch of online instrumental demos and muck-about tracks by Mr. Josh Travis (guitarist for the excellently named band The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, among others).

Here is his Soundcloud page. [link]

My other favourite track (apart from the one I posted previously) is "WKGS_ref_29_axefx", which is just totally bonkers.

I don't know him personally.

:nod: Had a listen. Dude has some impressive chops. Odd sound though. I'm largely ignorant of all these ultra-low-tuned metal bands.
