The "hair" on Jim's head is nothing more than quills. Look at the
staff page to see how I draw 'em. Des made them look kind of puffy
or something, I dunno. Onika wears Daisy Dukes because she emulates
Des. A LOT. And Des wears them because she looks so friggin' good
in them. :P

He's about 5 feet tall to the top of his head. same as Des. He
probably looks a little taller because he has those spiky quills,
and he's wearing boots.

Yup. She's a seal-point Siamese. Spoiled rotten, too.

Nope, I didn't ink it. I think Des has been working on refining
her style some, because I had noticed it seemed pretty fluid. I'm
currently not doing any inking because, truthfully, I can't see well
enough to do any sort of detailed work like that. Hence, I stick to
the penciled drawings and rough drafts. Don't want to get rusty!
