Description I need to post some real art sooner or later. Right now, I\\\'m having a Transformers Animated fix and I CAN\\\'T GET OUT OF IT HELP

This basically shows the development of some of my characters.

When I first started watching and reading Keroro Gunso,I was inspired to make a character. And — big surprise — it was a Garuru recolor at first, the one at the very top. He was characterized as being a shy bookworm staying with — you guessed it — me in the Keroro universe. I never posted him online because I was not happy with this character’s initial design; to this day I thank God that I never posted that version on the internet. So, I redesigned him once to look like the character on the bottom-right of the page - “Mokumoku”.

Something that I did not tell many people before now was that the character on the left - “Niwawa” - came from the same Garuru recolor as well.

What can I say? I was crazy for Garuru at the time. (… I still kind of am.)

I was REALLY into fighter planes and stealth planes and everything around 2009-2010, which was when the characters on the chart were created. I saw one of my friends make a robotic Transformers-like Sonic character, and I believe I may have been watching the old Transformers cartoon at the time as well. So… I ended up coming up with the little mysterious and clever little bugger in the bottom-left corner. F-117s are nicknamed “Nighthawks”, and they are known for their odd diamond-like shape and stealth abilities. They’re covered in a special material that almost completely absorbs radar waves, making them appear only the size of little birds on a radar screen. Niwawa is able to transform into an F-117. He also has a “sister” named Sereirei, named and based off of the B-2 bomber - also very unusual in shape.

Although Mokumoku and Niwawa are not related (for crying out loud, Moku’s a ghost and Niwa’s a robot!), I consider them to be long-lost brothers. *shot*

This has been a useless post by Numa. Thanks for your time.
