It Became a Thing

First off, a full height sheet of the characters and creatures in my up-coming webcomic, Messenger:

Next, I originally drew my 'chibi style' version of Asad (the guy in red armor) for fun, to just take a break from more serious art.  I loved him so much that I colored him, and loved it even more.  I then took some time to draw all the characters and creatures that way, making it a thing.  I personally think they turned out quite adorable.

Messenger Creatures

Creatures designs of Messenger:

Adel:

Zaki's steed.

Nagi:

Asad's steed.

Bidziil:

Cheveyo's steed.

Ifalgeolf:

Pack creature that roams the forest.

Adel and Nagi are both Izmelses, which are creatures native to the desert, and are the desert people's way of travel.
Bidziil is an Isongle which typically live in the mountains of the forest.  However, since Cheveyo save him as a hatchling, he has stayed by her side as a loyal companion.
