you can tell i cheated with the & sign. but i promise the rest of the text is hand-drawn!

They're finally here! Max & Leana, my two OCs! Best of friends (or maybe more?~)

Lemme give some context: I made these two based off of the Mario & Luigi series (yes i'm still on the superstar saga brainrot. in fact, i got dream team a few hours ago). Think of them as characters for a fangame I'll never be able to make! Unfortunately, they were on my good PC (which is currently P r e p a r i n g A u t o m a t i c R e p a i r) and I thought I'd lost them (my only surviving documentation was a screenshot i posted on discord months ago and the videos wouldn't show up from my laptop despite being the same account). But eventually I decided to remake them from memory and now they're back! Yay!

There are obvious hints to their themeing (max starts with M, wears red and his hair looks like an M. leana starts with L, wears green and her ahoge is L-shaped). That being said, their personalities are opposite, with Max being more timid and anxious and Leana being a hyper ball of positivity!

"What's Leana holding?" Instead of a hammer, she wanted a baseball bat for some reason. It's still forged from a Hoohoo Block tho and can give a mighty side whack!

Obviously there are issues with this drawing. Max's face looks weird, his arms are too long, Leana's proportions look odd, her sclera isn't meant to be colored black. But I still like this!
