No, that's no fanart. Those are OCs, and OCs for something big I'm currently working on. I've always wanted to make comics. In fact, a large part of why I began to take art seriously was because I wanted to draw comics. So… I guess this is a convoluted way of saying I'm going to try making a webcomic!
Metapets is about Shogi, a 14-year-old who promised himself to never get attached to a virtual pet again. However, when he's faced with a broken MetaPet V4 that's been thrown away, he breaks his promise and chooses to raise just one more.
Metapets are, by design, the perfect match to their owners, known as 'pals' among the Metapets. Shogi's new pet, Pitchy, does not match his pal. Shogi must re-learn what he's missed in the Metapets scene since the deletion of his last pet, and despite his best efforts, becomes attached to Pitchy along the way.
I don't know when I'll start posting the actual comic, but I'm going to try to post more pieces of art of the characters, along with bits of lore. (Teasers if you will.) I hope you've enjoyed, and if you have any questions, please ask away!
