another after-hours Bomango sketch brought to completion
The characters of Andy and Gogo have tended to have an obvious gap between them, most notably the fact that Gogo's considerably older (and decidedly larger) than Andy, but if those differences were erased, what would change? Is there a relationship in spite of the previous obstacles, or was it because of them? Whose dream is this? WHY AM I ASKING SUCH QUESTIONS?!
faux-deep musings aside, this sort of "My Fictitious Life That Isn't" stuff is something i want to explore along the way in the story. "Equalizing" the characters (to borrow a phrase, hehe) would facilitate a lot of things, but life's never that easy.
_______________________________ note: i decided to add dialogue, since i felt it was a little more characteristic, but the original silent image was inspired by a Yoko Kanno track i accidentally discovered: [link] It's really quite pretty.
I say have her kiss him at least once just cuz she got curious about the concept, but given her strength plus having no idea how a kiss works...ya i can see some funny going on there.
SOoo, I'm trying to figure out these two's relation to one another and I think they is in love, but then I fear that the Andy will be crushed by the Gogo's love. Are they lovers no?
The age thing never really bothered me because their maturities and personalities mixed well. The size did bug me a little, and I had an idea about how to fix it... and then some. Here's what I thought would be cool:
Dunno why but I don't want Gogo to be small, I want Andy to be big and powerful. But not always. I thought it'd be cool if he managed to convince Didi to give him some of Gogo's power so that he could be with her on a more equal level (Didi would probably refuse, but there are other ways Andy could get the golden eye thingy). The Golden eye would allow Andy to biomorph at will, growing in size and limb count depending on how much biomater he's stored. But there would be some other effects... Remember the voices in Andy's head? [link] The Golden eye would essentially bring these two sub-Andy's into greater sentience in Andy's mind. I'd call the pale reasonably Andy Antony (similar to Andrew and sounds more mature) and the more gogo-like Andy Gogandy (see what I did there?). The two sub-Andy's would be voices in Andy's head, speaking up during times of distress and what not (not constantly chattering). Now, Andy would be slightly bigger but not much, and under Antony's guidance he'd keep his powers under wraps and continue to be the voice of reason in Gogo's life. However during boutes of serious jealousy/rage/sadness Gogandy would being to speak up and convince Andy to use the power's he's been given in order to show Gogo his worth (or something around those lines). Now at this point things would go ape shit, Andy/Gogandy would go on a rampage of sorts and it would be Gogo who'd have to be the voice or reason and/or restrain him. This is also why I like this idea, it'd make the two of them look after each other more.

Just a thought...
