✨Loose Canon update!✨ Between changing jobs, moving, and a complicated injury, I'm behind schedule. As the next slated episode is the FINALE for season 1, I have chosen not to rush it and will be postponing a few weeks. Thanks for all your support!

The outfit Vahaadi sported briefly in the most recent update of Loose Canon was designed by MMtheMayo on deviantArt. :D I'll be showing off more of her designs for him in the future!

Loose Canon launched 10/5, so 5/10 is “Loose Canon Switch Day”! I’m launching this tradition with a classic body swap. Spark and Vahaadi are oddly unperturbed by this arrangement. 😶

More Vahaadi notes! Smoky ghost tails are to djinn what wrinkles and osteoporosis are to humans. Vahaadi's contract has rendered his physical age in stasis, so he'll keep his gams in perpetuity.

Lack of appealing RL reference led me to believe that Vahaadi’s small, dense goatee was unnatural, so I changed it to an anchor style. It’s been a nightmare to draw. I’m going back to my original instinct: the very small, diamond-shaped look. I decided I don’t care if my magical cartoon djinni is “unrealistic.” 😝

Vahaadi’s “boxy” jaw is more obvious in the 3/4 view. My default style is to taper the cheek bone directly into the chin, but Vahaadi’s face is more square. (this is his “do not want” expression, haha)

One of the earliest (2010?) pitches for Loose Canon, this iteration featured Spark as a steampunk demolition expert, and was the first time we considered the idea that her superpowers are granted by Vahaadi instead of a "classic" genetic mutation.

A scrapped concept piece for the Hero and the Thrall chapter featuring a very ominous Vahaadi. I gave up on it for a few reasons, but this color key is interesting enough to share.
