None of the characters are nude. I just wanted to post the process while I'm at the moment of adding some clothing to each one of them. I remembered the Chop Socky Whoops episode, and I thought about a remake that I had in my mind. What If Chickadee had the same "killer instinct" but in a more mature setting? I imagined her using weapons or resources to end Wasabi's life. I also thought about her identity being totally a secret, so I put her a mask that she'll be using for a while before the group being totally officialized.

The mask is just a traditional chinese opera mask that has some resemblance to Son Wukong and I looked for new references to chinese combat attire at the time. I wanted to add a modern style to make a combination with the time of the show's more futuristic essence, with the addition of a hood and sports shoes. I thought that at the time she didn't use her fans, and I was right! So I guess she could've used metallic long chicken claws coming out of the tip of her hands and built from her wrist to blind her enemies violently, for climbing or defense. 

I also wanted to add more black or golden patterns to Joe's clothing to stop making it "simplified". He looked with the same clothing, but gold, as well as Chick P, so I decided to add patterns in the future when the lineart is set in place. Chuckie was a little bit easier, but still, I think he needs some fixing, because he surely will give me some problems when it comes to casual clothing. For now, this is the process. I wanted to share it now because, well, sometimes I think the sketches look better than the final product sometimes. It was made on Krita, and finished on Paint Tool SAI 2. I don't know If I will make the lineart and colors on Krita. It still feels a little bit slower, but it must be the stabilizer for sure. Sometimes I try to adjust it, and it slowly goes to both extremes and doesn't seem as soft as SAI when it comes to the brushes, but that's just me and I really want to learn how to use that software, especially because it is free and looks very professional and has tons of interesting settings. 

Remember the episode "Chop Socky Whoops"? I made a remake reference when Chickadee still had her "Killer instinct" a little longer before the group started to be officialized. I remembered when she literally tried to get Wasabi out of the World, literally. And That episode was one of the better ones when it comes to the actual potential that the show had, honestly, so I could avoid drawing them together in a photo-like posing. Chick P still doesn't have confidence in these two, LOL #CartoonNetwork #AardmanStudios Again, guys, thank you so much for following me, watching me and looking for my pieces! See you next time.
