So I’ve posted now two new characters.  Ping and Pong.  Yeah, the names may be a bit silly but I don’t care, I think they’re fun.  Before people start to assume things about them I figured I’d give some background on them, or how I picture them in my mind.

Ping is in college and very studious.  She takes her classes very seriously and always keeps her grades up.  She’s shy and doesn’t really talk much to others except her close friend, and dorm roomie Pong.  Ping also helps to keep Pong more focused then if Pong was left to her own devices.  Who knows how far Pong would get with out her encouragement.  Other then that, Ping reads, rides her bike, and does other low key activities.

Pong is more crazy and daring in her life then Ping and feels that Ping needs to have more fun in her life.  She generally leaves things to the last min, stays up way too late playing video games (when she should be studying) and likes to pull pranks on Ping in order to make things more exciting.

The two balance each other well and have lots of fun together in their spare time.  How much fun?  I have ideas that I’d like to do ^_^

These two are sort of an experiment.  See pretty much every other character I’ve done started out with no background, story or real thought in to why I made them up.  These two are different.  I drew Ping first and my ideas started to run with who she was and such.  Pong was next and she fit in with what I saw perfectly.  I hope I can do more with these two as I can see myself having lots of with them.

So here’s to me trying out a duo of characters in a real story and relationship.  I hope it goes well. ^_^
