Loose Canon Expressions

Probably needless to say, my New Year drawing ambitions haven't gone according to plan.  Ah well. :) I snatch what drawing time I can.  Here are some recent sketches, trying to get a feel for Vahaadi and Spark's expressions.

My current focus on Vahaadi is sorting out his facial proportions and incorporating his cowl more fully into his look. His eyes have shrunk significantly over the years. I like it; the smaller eyes make him look older and more crafty.

Whereas my goal with Vahaadi is to go tighter and subtler, with Spark I'm trying to capture that wild energy that Evie pulls off so well. Everything with Spark has to be EXTREME!

Shows like Aladdin and Fairly Odd Parents have given Spark unrealistic expectations of what a supernatural BFF should be capable of. XD I'm relatively certain that this is the first time Vahaadi's ever been made to feel as if his power is completely inadequate compared to what she's hoping he could do.
