Remember that one Bomango character concept piece i did awhile back? [link] ...yeah, i wanted to draw Saf again. Also Didi. I like drawing Didi. And this is them two squaring off.

(download for full working size)

...I guess while I'm here with Bomango stuff, and since people sometimes ask:

YES. I'm totally still working on a "full narrative" Bomango story (working title "Bomango XL" for now, because it's "extra large"--get it?--and also because "X" makes things substantially more badass...anyway, it's shorthand for "an actual story with continuity and everything"...i'll title it properly later). I'm ashamed to say it's been taking me forever, but I'm under a pile of existing work and overtime at the day job and...

...well, excuses, excuses. The fact is, I'm dedicated to it and will begin posting to a dedicated site once I have a book's worth of content to kick it off.

Further, as the pic above might suggest, "XL" (god, that sounds pretentious, but anyway...) is a little more, uh...supercharged? than a lot of previous stuff in my gallery. "What is this, 'Bomango' is suddenly all swords and sorcery now? Pfft..." you may be heard to say. Well, not exactly...

Basically, i want to establish a newer, slightly modified, and much more ambitious continuity based on what i've tested and developed over the years here on dA...something that will push the characters (and myself) in much more challenging directions, while still being familiar enough to those who've been so kind as to follow these works so far, but also featuring enough new wrinkles and surprises so that it's not a hamfisted retread.

Also, fighting. (see above image, hehe)

This is a huge undertaking, a lot of work ahead. I'm totally freaked out at what it all means...can i keep going on a project like this? Will existing fans follow me? Will it fail completely? Will it be awesome as hell? It's terrifying and exciting.

...

oh, and i'm still going to go around posting random images, comics, and concepts like this, because insomnia, and also i can't help myself.

BAM.

Okay, sleeping now. Peace :salute:

Looks interesting, I hope you still give us the humorous bomango as well I love it also maybe because we haven't seen a rigid plot to begin with the characters seem so flexible, and can be adapted to almost any setting.

I'm still hoping the white baboon will make his triumphant return, as some sort of monkey guru.

The contradiction of colors and attitudes is a nice detail. Its good to let your audience know who the hero is and the villain as well. A well established design achieves this, but color always adds that extra "zing". Good work on this piece, i hope to see you continue to improve your art as time passes.

I honestly believe this cannot. Fail you've already created dynamic characters which we all know and love all that remains is for you to create circumstances in which we get to see who they are and how the grow and their interpersonal relationships evolve.( Kinda like Breaking Bad or Walking Dead) I am so looking forward to this. Take your time because, once it out there its out there. But I know it'll be good. Wish you all the best.
