PRETTY FIERCE: NEW CHALLENGERS VOL. 2

Added 2021-02-06 23:59:18 +0000 UTC

Hello, lovelies! I've another update for my slowly developing comic, Pretty Fierce--today we get a look at the first two supporting characters, Atsuko Akiyama and Diogo Tavares~!

Atsuko is Aubree's "manager"--she basically sets up her money matches and manages their earnings. She's extremely ambitious, but also doesn't want to risk her prize fighter (much to the frustration of Aubree who's more interested in a more challenging match than a "free" match). She is often seen munching on fast food burgers.
Originally her eye patch was the result of an injury due to a personal attack, but as she is transgender, I decided to do away with that back story since I felt that LGBTQIA+ characters often get written with tragedies occuring to them. Her eyepatch is simply there for aesthetic; though given her involvement in the street fighting circuit, it may also serve as a means for her to provide her opponent with a "fair chance". ^_~

Diogo is a member of Noemi's gang. He's typically chill and very laid back, going so far as to be civil towards his rivals, but when it comes time for a money match he turns on the trash talk and likes to make sport of his opponent. He's often seen thirsting after a member of his rival gang, a wrestler who runs a flower shop (more on him later :3). His design usually involves mostly comfortable clothing, with various peacock motifs sprinkled in. Incidentally, I thought I had designed him back in 2018, but it turns out his first concept art was drafted in 2014!

There we go! The next pair of supporting characters will be revealed towards the end of this month! Stay tuned for more updates for this project and thank you for your support~! ♥
