Description
Since DotPQ ended, this comic is well underway; its prologue episode is about 1/3 of the way done~. I am also in the process of rewriting the entire script: now that I've spent the better part of a year exploring the characters and world, I guess it's time to cobble all that into a new and improved story, with fewer holes!Anyway, here are some doodles I did over the past few days. Since I'll be busy with the actual comic, those illustrated essays I used to do for each team can't happen anymore. ^^' But that's fine; I actually prefer it this way. It's much less work, at least~
-I redid Eve's costume! Well, I basically just traded the chaps for a half-skirt, but whatever. Since I've been writing for her, it's become easier to see what she looks like in my head (before when I did the initial design, she'd barely gotten any lines yet). The only problem I still have is the panache on her hat...I still don't know what color it should be. I'll figure it out later...
-Here's a new team: Sandbaas and Sergeian! I began writing for them too, late in the first draft, and I quickly learned to love the 'golden ones'.
I try to do different dynamics with the teams in the story: they're not all just 'besties'. Some are more like parent and child, some are more like noble and servant, etc. S&S are a 'student and master' pair, and as you can probably guess, Sandbaas (the short one) is the master. They're kind of off in their own world, so they can't contribute much to the story at first, but when they finally do they're very interesting...plus Sergeian's innocence is so cute~! I hope I can make them relevant a little sooner in the rewrites.
-I had a feeling Sen-Lao would turn out cute in more expressive drawings...and I was right. ^^' His character is going to be a struggle...
And Gestalt doesn't look creepy enough! I think I made his face too round; I'll have to work on that...
-This is Katanya, the other (Lumino's) love interest~. I wasn't sure if she should have one at first, even though Katanya was kind of designed for that role since his conception, so I decided to just write and let him 'prove himself worthy'. And he did; I ended up really enjoying his interactions with her. I hope the new relationship I write for them will be as good as the first~
-These two are technically a new team...new to you, anyway. I've been drawing them for so long (and they're the first team X and Lumino meet in the story) that they're super old to me. XD
Ortega's Affect is called Calamity, and it takes the form of a flame controlled by a wand. Wink's Affect is called Nexus, and it's technically an Enhancer-type, even though it takes the form of a pair of cannons: she has naturally floating limbs, so her hands just transform into her weapons.

The Golden Ones are giving me Fanglongmon (or Huanglongmon) vibes.
Very nice sketches overall!
