progress of A31 and A32

 





Pompo: "Alrighty. This is my mom Terry. She's a seamstress. She makes clothes and repairs clothes."
Pompo: "And this is my dad Victor. He's the ultimate rudo, the bad guy. But he's very sweet outside of the ring."

I... I'm not sure if this was a good idea.
I'm not from Mexico. I'm not hispanic. I don't even have any latino/latina friends.
I feel like I'm not ready to make stories about Pompo's family.
You know what? I haven't finished the A30 (one page before these two,) so that I can change what Mumu suggested at the end of that page. I'm so tentative at this moment.

I usually don't change character designs a lot.
When I made Pompo chan, I just tried to make him look like a foil to Laichi.
It took me a while to get the right color combination of Pompo's daddy's mask. The only thing I knew was that I wanted some hot pink in it. I'm satisfied with the current design.

I guess my biggest problem with these pages is that I'm struggling with the dad as I never got a character who looked mascular. Honestly, my og artstyle doesn't go well with that kind of a body shape.
I don't know why I care about his design so much when he won't probably appear again.

I love this page. I want this kind of a page sometimes. They have to understand they're different. I also want to contrast Laichi's "absolute control (over the child)" and Pompo's "guiding." When I say guiding, the basic idea is that Mumu can tell Pompo what he feels even when they don't agree. Man, I can't believe his heart is still functioning after eating fried butter. How?  Again the pacing issue is very serious.   I just wanted to draw the rainbow wave. Yay I love this page! It was A NIGHTMARE to color those glittery clothes! It should be very obvious, but the song name is called Boogie Shoes. But this is also a reference to a movie called  Knock at the Cabin . A gay guy loving disco is too stereotypical I feel... Heck, Pompo chan is full of stereotypes! This is what happens when the creator forgets to clarify what is satire and what is not. Oh well, I'll try to make them more 3 dimentional... figuratively. I'm not talking about the ...

A28 Purple up

Image
So this is the last day of their bonding vacation (feels kinda weird. I think it's too short to be called a vacation) Took me a while to find out the right colors of purple for their clothes... I had to make em purple as it's the mixture of their personal colors (red and blue.) I like color symbolism. You have seen it a lot before this page right? Rainbow - Obviously gay but just to indicate they're happy (that's why I say gay instead of lgbt) Oh yeah also used as the symbol of autism. Pink yellow blue - Pan color. Mostly used on Pompo chan's stuff Red/Green - hero/villain black/white - adult/child.  You see this contrast used in their eyes, hands and feet color.

progress of A29

It's a very rare angle for Pompo. I have to come up with a good background for the 3rd cut...  But since I used rainbow as the frame, drawing the sky makes the most sense to me. (That's why I filled it with blue for now.)
