Here is where I will put random CTV related sketches like character poses and expressions (I've got quite a few of those) and things that just piqued my curiosity and I thought I'd share. ^_^ Anyway, to start off I have a page I just did because I wanted to see what Daray looked like with his hair down. Then I moved on to other characters to show you what they look like with it up or down! (I already have drawn Hex like that as well as Fay) And also a few intersting facts I shall share with you! BAD HAIR DAY! See Phineas there with the hair? That's what he'd look like...if he didn't SHAVE it off! (now you know his secret!) he does this to remain aerodynamic in water and also because it makes him resemble his father more, who has no hair at all. The telltale signs he has hair? the dots I put by his ears are little spots he misses. example, check last panelI don't go all gung-ho like with Hex's shaved head because Hex likes a little stubble. Phineas prefers it shiny. And unlike both his parents, he is bipedal, and this is something frowned upon in merman society...which is why he lives with his friends. And Zeno has his hair up! looks like he stuck the scythe in an electical outlet.... Mye has her hair up, and here she is wearing something she rarely wears: Pants! She has worn pants 4 times in the comic. Once with Menu, 2 different outfits with Kavonn (the devil suit doesn't really count ^_^) and the time she went off to console Zerlocke. This is one other thing I can say I don't have in common with Mye, I hate wearing skirts and dresses. Though I did wear one for halloween, but I also had thick green and black stockings that were almost like pants so that didn't matter. Maybe if I had big boots and purple stockings I would wear skirts! (no, I lie) And then of course there is Daray, who prefers his hair up anyway. Gets mistaken for a girl less with it up! And here, it looks like Mannick doesn't appreciate the groomed look one bit. He likes his hair as wild as the animals he loves so much ^_^ And Fay, who prefers her hair up because it distracts from the crest on her head, which she is slightly embarrassed of. I think it looks better down personally...shark head! and Hex, who also likes his hair up just because he thinks it looks cool. it also distinguishes him from his twin, who, of course he doesn't want to look TOO much like, since she's a girl and all.

OMG! that is B E A U T I F U L!!! So, pretty. That word feels insufficuent. THe style is like nothing else I've ever seen! I guess I stopped paying attention to how good you've become. It's soooo pretty. It's cute and ghildish but not cartoony. Basically you give the characters a look that you can respect, and it's beautiful!

and here is another interesting picture! Things were brought up before about Hex's personality and the twin's origin and such, so I thought I'd share this sketch of the two while they were still working for their master! This is only shortly after they were revived, but as you may be able to tell, the work they did was not easy. And guess what now missing item we get to see in this? yep! When they were still under the influence of their master, they were so servile that if he told them to stop breathing they would until they passed out. If he had instructed Hex to kill Mye he would have without protest. it wasn't like he didn't know he loved her, but master's word was above all and they had to obey. otherwise, they protected eachother with their lives and Hex was especially protective of his sister, even taking much punishment in her wake when such was being administered ( for example if she by accident spilled some water and was going to be whipped Hex would spill more to take the attention off her) though they were deprived of free will this doesn't mean they couldn't disobey unspoken orders like this, as they did have feelings, even if they didn't show them. When master finally died (or rather, was killed) all his magic moved into their bodies (perhaps at a failed attempt of possession) and they gained back their free will, as well as a change in appearance. This is why they have those sharp bear-trap teeth and pupil-less dead eyes, since master also looked quite evil himself ( a result of a magical curse, he wasn't a demon). Both the wand and pendant can be traded and used by either one of them, but nobody else can use Hex's pendant or Mye's wand. Both are linked to their minds.

Shippo thinks Mannick look cute with Manniks hair down! Shippo also think sharky-girl looklook better that way, too! SHippo think that hair make Mye-mye look older!
(Shippo just wanted to try talking like that for once)

Oh cool that's a very interesting history behind those characters. Where'd the wand go, though?

She left it behind when the boys that were threatening to beat her up knocked over her fortune-telling stand and chased her outta the park. She couldn't get to it in time and by the time she returned to the park with Tony after he rescued her to look for it, all her posessions had ben stolen.

Yeah I wanna see her able to really put up a fight! I mean she can, but most of the time her opponents are too strong for her... She kinda needs it against Zerlocke if he goes crazier again.

The wand as I understand it is mainly white magic so I dont know how well it would work in a fight, but the powers of each of Hex and Myes magical items can be used by either one of them, so if Mye was able to get the pendent she would be able to use it.

That's true, but she never does.
Don't remember reading about Mye's wand's powers, but if it's white magic I'm sure she could find a good use for it that would have her better off than before.

Yeah she could probably make life around the house a lot easier. Hex's pendent is mainly black magic but if he thinks really positively then he can do something good with it (I know this for a fact because i've already asked about it) so even though her wand is mainly white magic I think it might even be better in battle then the pendent because not only would it make her almost unkillable but she could probably use it to attack with if she got angry enough. With her bunny form abbilities and the power of the wand and a small amount of dark magic on her side she might actually be a decent fighter.

Already she did very well against that vampire lady and if she didn't already have that neck wound she would have done much better, maybe even have won. Forgot that woman's name, I'm no good with names.

yeah, but Mye is not really the fighter type! she's more of a white mage... Hex is like a black mage, Zeno's like a fighter (bang) and Charby's like a thief (he steals blood)
its all one big happy undead final fantasy!

Yay for fantasy RPG stereotypes! (Actually, no yay for that... ) Well, he's not a moral person. He does steal blood and murder people for it.

Here youse go, I missed him like this...this may well be one of my favorite Charny pics, but that is to be seen since I'm also working on the good side^_^ Y'know how long this took to color? 8 minutes, A record I guess, but there really is no background for this either... Ther hair took the longest time out of the whole thing, though.

Good-side took longer to color, do youse guys like this way of doing the feathers better or the realistic ones? These take just about as long, actually, because coloring has to be more precise...

I like this way better because they look cleaner and fit the rest of the picture better. (worst supportive comment ever)
Anyways upon seenig these I let out quite a whistle. A whistle of....... Hats. Yes; a Hatswhistle. In Hatstonishment. Well, more Hatpressedityness.
I love them both so much I cant say which I believe the superior.Perhaps I'll stick them into paint and nake them one image, thus solveing all problems and makeing my life complete.
