UPDATE: Was looking at this sketch this morning and realized I could have done a better job at drawing that sword melting. So made some quick adjustments.

Afraid now it looks more like a giant popsicle than a sword! You'll have to let me know. 😅

Moving on!

Boy. Busy week! Time off is nice, but I always forget how hectic it is catching up on everything afterwards. Stayed mostly off grid, nose to the Cintiq, coloring Moonlit and thankfully managed to meet my weekly page quota because of that. So, feeling good about my productivity this first full week of the year.

Also found some time to sketch up another drawing of Ko this afternoon. Have yet to decide on what to call her pink shapeshifting pal. Thought it'd be fun though if he (she?) could only hold their shape for so long before melting. Might make for some funny (or dangerous) situations if I ever decide to make a comic with these two.

If you look at the rough, the shapeshifter originally was going to be some sort of long tailed mouse thing, with Ko holding a katana instead. Fun composition but I still prefer the above idea. And that's where we're at so far!

Have a great weekend, my friends. :)

Absolutely love the outcome of this and the concept of only holding shape for so long could really introduce a lot of funny scenarios mid combat or what have you. Looking forward to seeing more of Ko!!

Love it! You can always have them as asexual or intersexed and just have “they” be their pronoun, or even just name only. When I look at it I think bubblegum or peptobismol and Proty from the LSH and for some reason Gurgy from Disney’s The Black Cauldron.

IDK what's Ko's sword buddy is, though might have similar abilities with Marvel's Venom albeit can't literally bond as a wearable buddy.🤔 Anyways ya design reminds me of Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim series 😉

Ko is looking slightly concerned for her melting buddy 😂

Yeah, it's the colors and stars. Also similarly influenced. Different personality tho so hopefully as I continue to figure her out she'll feel less so. 🙂

I like the idea of making Ko’s shapeshifting buddy genderless with non-gendered pronouns. As for a name, how about some version of combining Rene (for Rene Auberjonois) and Odo, the character he played on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? Reno? Redo?

Actually I think I'm close to landing on something. Just got to hear it in my head a little longer. :)
