Aron Redux

Aron's been needing a redesign for a long time. He's supposed to be a siamese cat, but for a while no one could tell with his old design, until I mentioned it. A lot of people mistook him for a hyena, despite having no spots and a blunt nose. His original design is very old and no longer pleases me. I have no qualms about complete redesigns in cases like this. He's a siamese cat. His parents escaped South Vietnam in the 1970s and came to the United States. It's a history I never mentioned before, but always had in my mind.

I also wanted to illustrate him in a different light with this sketch. He's always been depicted as some kind of goofy clown or a boy-toy, but I wanted to show him with some air of competence in this case, during moments when he has an important task. He's probably working on the backup engine of Beth's boat, which they live on much of the time.

And as a side note, he and Beth have a short story coming up in my next project, which is a collection of short adult stories.
