#scumbalaya

So, I have two characters themed around jambalaya...naturally, I had to draw the two together!

Pilaf (Scumbalaya): Spicy, with a flair for the jazzy side of life, Pilaf takes life big and she takes life easy. This congealed mess of sausage, rice, and peppers is thick and warm-hearted, though most of that is from age. Well-seasoned in more ways than one, she considers herself a mother figure to younger Grosseries. Though she can be a bit overbearing and protective of them, her heart's in the right place. Masque (Mucky Mud Mask): For something that was meant as relaxing, Masque is the opposite of this. Antsy, listless, and honestly a nervous wreck, her clay has gone clumpy and the contents that leak out of her lid are as flaky as she is. She doesn't even want to join the adventure, but it always finds her, whether she likes it or not, dragging her into the fray. Digi (Virtual Regret): Digi loves to think she's up-to-date and in the know with everything. Unfortunately for her, she's stuck in the past. She was popular at one time, but that time was a while ago. Now, she tries to be "hip", but she's always behind in the new, which wouldn't be so bad if her idea of "new" wasn't a decade old. Meringue (Gackaron): He thought he was going to be a "perfect cookie", one that would pass in any fancy bakery and make him a star. One mistake led him to the dregs of the Yucky Mart, and he hasn't been over it sense. Now his ganache is curdled and his cookie is crap, and he fully knows it. And now he's mighty miserable, only thinking of what could have been, ignoring the now, even as it happens. Java (Messpresso): Full of too much energy at the worst times, Java is permanently happy and permanently perky. It seems like it's impossible for him to be anything but happy and energetic, no matter what. Even in the worst of times, he has that clenched grin on his face and a tremble in his motions, but he could crack at any time.

Decided to attempt Scumbalaya in the cartoon design for the Grosseries. XD Don't know a "changed name" for her yet, though. XD
