Press any key to see next picture! Kalani is an OC of mine, and until now I haven't drawn his dear old parents yet. Kalani's mom! She doesn't have a name yet, and I could use some help thinking about one. Her parents traveled a lot and adored many different cultures, so her name could be anything. Her parents traveled often when she was a child, and she got to see places from all around the world. She was homeschooled to adapt to their on-the-go lifestyle and she loved learning. He father was a retired lawyer and often spoke about his cases, which fueled her interest in law and justice. This served her well in the future. Is now a diplomat helping to keep the peace after world war 3. She's a happy, caring and compassionate but handles even slight stress very poorly and either takes things too seriously or not seriously enough. She always carries a silver coin with the image of a dove on it, she was given it the first day on her job, and since it's been a dream job for her since she was a kid, she holds it dear to her heart. The flowers are dried. She had taken from her family estate before they had to sell it. She still remembers how beautiful they smelled. The little locket is one that has been passed down for generations, the person passing it down always saying 'You'll know when to open it.' It's a small, and terrible knock-knock joke. No one knows this until they open it though, so it's a well-kept family secret, and M loves it dearly. (This is my first time drawing super-curly hair, anyone have any advice on how to draw it?) Kalani's father! Also unnamed, I could use helping find one for him. He's from Japan, but came to America at a young age. He did move to America with his mother to take care of his sick aunt when he was 2, by request of his grand-parents. This part was still very war-torn and was attacked often. He got the scar on his face from a grenade that detonated outside his grandma's house. He's learned to do whatever it takes to survive, which is why he's so ingenuitive He now runs a multi-millionaire company that takes tech used for WW3's weapons and reengineers them for good. He's driven, charming and speaks his mind, however, he can come off as harsh, unemotional and unrefined due to his upbringing in a war zone. Always carries a small silk handkerchief, it's the first one he had made for his company. Small dog tag from his first dog that he got when he was 2 1/2. And his parents named the dog Zeus for him. .But of course, he was a little kid so he just called the dog Zuh. Shattered catseye marble from his childhood. Those things were super rare at the time, and he was very proud he got one at the time. The doggo is actually a genetic clone of the very first Zeus and there have been several before him. The poor man just can't let go. (Left-hand portrait is of him at his current age, and half body is of him when he met Kalani's mother.) If you have any more questions about the character, please, please ask! I have a lot more info about them but I don't think I'd fit in the notes + credits!
