I decided to draw Brian and Carl "realistically", just on a whim. There's Naoka, Dennis' Japanese girlfriend, who'll appear later in the series. I'd never drawn a non-Western person's face before (and I'm a little embarrassed by that fact). It was a challenge to get her to look like a Japanese woman, and not just an American with black hair and stereotypical slanty eyes.

I noticed some of my characters' appearances, Dennis especially, have been fluctuating and veering off from their original designs, mostly due to not having solid design rules to begin with, so I made a sort of min-model sheet to try to set things straight.

And there's a basketball-playing raccoon, for no particular reason.
