<<Home Heroes '22>>

Confession time, ever since i suspended my activity on deviantArt, this cast of OCs of mine has been on a hiatus. A lot of concepts and [specially] designs regarding them doesn't speak to me anymore. Even so, in these past five years from my "dAbsence" (as i like to dub it) i haven't give up on such drawing and creating habit, but rather focusing on a sort of "spiritual sequel" to that (set in a near-future Brazil and all its eternal sociopolitical misfortunes).

However... lately i've been thinking about the reason i came up with those OCs and their stories: as the inspiration from 'saturday morning' action cartoons, comics, classic action/adventure movies of all kinds, mangas, animes and bandes dessinées (French-Belgian comics). And more than ever i feel like giving a good overhaul on that creation to bring it back with all the "geeky concept cluster" i acquired during such so-called "dAbsence" - for instance, races i initially hadn't included on it, like folkloric and pop culture creatures (dragons, "cabbits", elves, orcs, dwarfs, goblins, golems, gargoyles, inmyeonjos, you name it).

Anyhoo, this pic would serve as the "embryo" plot for such "relaunch", where it all would begin. From left to right: epicurean playboy gator guy Iggy Walburton, stone-cold jackalope gunslinger lady Penny Mae Smithereens, tough cool blue duck guy Iván Nuñez-Waaro'omanukaua, our main hero the big-hearted, nerve-wreck beagle guy Charles Broddard, daredevil former soldier eagle girl Virginia 'Gina' James, bad boy biker jackal Johnny Verano and sweetie peppy nature-lover sasquatch girl Mapledew Willowsap.
