There She Falls

I really enjoyed the DanDaDan anime and read about 100 chapters of the manga! It's ALMOST an ideal shonen anime for me (really fun main characters, yokai and aliens as the basis of action, and well-written tragic stories). But it does have some flaws that make it hard to recommend without warning (a lot of plot-contrived teenage nudity, a couple of attempted sexual assaults in the plot, old ladies that look too young, etc bad anime tropes..)

I wanted to try my own take on a few of the character designs, and draw the whole cast in a cartoony style! Some of them are anime spoilers, so I'll hide them under the cut.

How many are going to die for Ingrid Celestia?

I love lore drawings that will make sense to nobody

Rewrite fact: Kane is still a bounty hunter, but people have to pay him in bottles of milk. Why? because it's funny.

(Also he's not in this picture because I don't like him so have his POV of being paid by Chrissy)

COMMENTS AND REBLOGS WITH GENUINE THOUGHTS ARE ENCOURAGED

Two dudes in one this time! One who's totally original and one who might as well be.

Winona is the gravekeeper, and has to tend to the bodies of both Echo and the Meseta Settlement since it's halfway between the two people. She claims to be able to commune with the dead, hearing them speaking to her. As a result, she puts snail shells in her ears, acting as earplugs. She constantly seems sad and tired, and sleeps in an empty grave, curled up into a ball.

Winona dresses in rags and furs (which are gonna be a pain to draw consistently) she tore apart and stitched together, throwing them over a turtleneck sweater. She also carries around her shovel (which isn't in the drawing because I thought this pose fit her more), using it to prop herself up when she’s so tired she can barely stand.

Chrissy, meanwhile, only had this on the wiki:

A single line. DO YALL SEE WHAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH!?!?!?!??!?!

Chrissy moved to Echo from the Big City and worked as a mathematician for the construction of the town. The town owes much of its financial stability and parts of its architecture to her.

Chrissy is even-tempered, but it belies an anxiety that causes her to be irritable. She’s a heavy thinker, but also a kleptomaniac who pockets random items to relieve stress. These two traits go hand in hand. Her speech is a little robotic, as if her mind’s the middle of calculations unrelated to the conversation at hand. It's the autism.

Both of them end up joining the investigation into Jack's murder, since one's a sort of medium and the other's super smart.

(Also not even I can tell to be honest, but Chrissy's meant to be a bear. And no, this does not mean she's an ancestor of Brian or anything like that)
