Meet Arthur and his friends! They would be the cast of one of my stories. There's no story (yet), but I just like thinking and working on it time to time, and showing the results to you of course :D This time I tried to figure out their colors, and I think I get closer to their final designs step by step. I think many major things in their design are finalized already, only some minor details remain.
Here are a few words about the characters:
- Marceline is a chaotic good magician/wizard who wants to walk her own path. She can pull out small critters from her hat and shot deadly beams from her palms.
- Dina is a water elf, and she likes to help people in their daily lives. But she's not that helpless as she looks when when it comes to fighting with a monster. She's Arthur's love interest.
- Rudy is Arthur's best friend who supports him in fights too. And he's a perfect pillow for Arthur if they have to sleep in the wild.
- Arthur is a kind wood elf, who has extraordinary skills, and he uses them to protect people from any harm. He's Dina's love interest.
- Marko is a victim of an experiment that started like something great, but it ended pretty bad. He needs friends. And better clothes.
Maybe it's not a big deal at all, but I'm just really proud of how I choosed elements for Dina and Arthur (water and trees) when I started designing them long ago :D But this isn't the main reason why they attract each other, it's just makes their relationship even more natural for me, and supports the idea that they were meant for eachother :)

Eeeeee! So cute! ^^ <3 That caterpillar needs a name also though! >:D I shall headcanon him to be Marble, since he only has one big eye like a marble, and happens to be Arthur's mount as a special enchanted leaf he eats makes him get big enough to ride while his super spongy and squishy body makes him practically immune to blunt damage!
Thus he considers attempts to squish or clobber him to be calls for 'play' as while he has practically no offensive abilities he can coil around someone and tickle them with his caterpillar nubs! :D He is also prone to purring and when experiencing a 'hunger pang' can run ultra fast but only in a straight line, much to the chagrin of anything that happens to be between him and the spotted food. ^^;

Really like this set of characters, can really feel the personalities from them all in these simple poses. Rudy gives off that sort of 'Can't lead you wrong, but will get you in trouble and be cool about it' sort of way. I'm not sure if he was an influence towards Arthur's design, but I can see some Snufkin (from Moomin Valley) vibes coming from him as well.
Really nice work and if it develops further, good luck flushing them out!
