Description Here are some sketches from the past few weeks.

A few comments...

-The big grumpy fellow there is Paolo's half-brother Lorenzo. He's a chef who works at a pastry shop downtown that used to be a front for mob activity, but is now, alas, just a pastry shop...even though some of the employees are relics from that more exciting time. He cares about food in the same way that Paolo cares about art and is utterly appalled at his brother's horrifying dietary choices. Despite the fact that he's an enormous, scary-looking dude with a big booming voice, he likes nothing better than putting fancy piping on cupcakes.

-The adorable menace with wings is Corny's character Denise. [link]
She is usually much more menacing than I've depicted her.

-Gwen and Emile at eight. I was going to do that age meme that's been floating around, but my laziness has prevented me from finishing. I thought Gwen was kinda cute here.

-Behold said horrifying dietary habits. Emile does not eat breakfast at all. He just drinks coffee (no milk, no sugar, sometimes liquor). Paolo eats pretty much nothing but carbohydrates (usually in muffin form) and is developing a bit of a gut. This is really not acceptable for a cat burgular, as Emile is more than willing to remind him.

-Azevedo helps pay for veterinary school by playing wheelman for Emile's crew. As soon as Emile discovered this, he decided that it was no longer necessary to pay for an actual people doctor with a degree and experience. Azevedo would usually be too decent a person to accept this arrangement, but it provides plenty of practice for him and he's not one to complain. Besides, he doesn't have to take as much care with Emile and Paolo as he would your typical family pet.

It looks like Emile is holding his severed right hand in his right hand.

I hoped no one would notice. I was too lazy to fix it.

Good catch.

Ahaha my favourite is Paolo picking the chocolate chips out of the muffin. Your characters are so interesting!
The pic of Gwen and Emilie is really adorable!

...I really, really dig Lorenzo there. And, well, all your character designs, honestly, they are pretty ace. But my eye keeps going back to Lorenzo. I like his nose!

I absolutely love the pic of Paolo, the way you make him look gangly, awkward and out of shape while still stylish, stylized, and.. blaghhh. I love it!! He looks so good and so bad at the same time! The way you incorporate frumpy, unattractive aspects into your art and still make everything look amazing is what makes me love it sooo much..

I did not know this about Lorenzo. It has officially made my day!

Azevedo does not approve.

Haha, I just love all of your characters. Emile especially. He's such a jerk, it's funny.

*GLEE* I had such a giggle when I saw Denise in my inbox. It was unacceptably girly.

With Gwen's giant birdy hands, she must be able to throw quite the punch.

You're a girl. Sometimes it just happens, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Fact of life.

Oh my god, I miss your stuff!

I also think Gwen is super cute at 8. Paolo's always my favorite, though.

Wow, Lorenzo looks different. I love your style, it's fun to watch the changes. And you talk about your characters, which is awwwwwwesome.

He looked waaaaaay too close to Paolo initially. There's still a bit fo family resemblance there, but the two of them are quite different now.

haha, thank you.

Oh hey, Lorenzo got redesigned! He's lookin' pretty cool there, check out those horns. I am a fan of big burly gruff dudes who like to cook fancy things.

This is probably also the first time I've seen Azevedo wear normal clothes.

Grim-Amentia In reply to Sheana [2009-10-21 02:32:32 +0000 UTC]

If left to his own devices, Azevedo would wear grubby t-shirts all the time. His major contribution to society is actually dressing semi-respectably when he's in public.
