I've had this piece in mind since last year since I drew Veronica for the first time. shortly before I decided she was going to be a ghost hunter. I knew from the first moment that she went to the same dojo as Diego.
Remember Diego? He's Lil's good old boy-friend or something. So that's right! Officially this is the first "The Worndown Children'' - "Whisperers Crossover picture ever!
I think...
There may be something else somewhere but if there is I don't remember.
Anyway, officially they live in the same world. Is this the only way these two groups will interact? Doubt it, I already got some ideas for when they finally meet, I'm just thinking which one I like the most.
Wanted to finally make this piece as a little bit of a build up for Diego before posting my chosen piece for this year Valentine's day with him and Lil. I kind of feel it's weird for him to appear one on a Valentine's pic, disappear for a year and then appear again on Valentines. So now at least he has another picture. I kinda wish I had done it before lol
Also a detail is the sensei. He is vaguely based on a Karate teacher from my town. He gave karate lessons to my mom and most of my uncles in the seventies. Of course I got to know him when he was older and no longer could practice karate but I have seen the pictures and heard stories, he was quite a character.
He ran a small store a block from my house. He passed away last year. I didn't seek for pictures of him when working on this so I based the sensei on just the general vibe of what I remember.
I also drew a background for this picture vaguely based on a boxing / Taekwondo gym close to my house. I've never been there but I've taken a peak on a number of occasions. Unfortunately when it was done I realized that it distracted a bit from the characters and the poses which I feel are the important part of this piece. Only the texture of the floor survived, so with that you can have a small idea of what it would have looked like.
Lastly, good news! My boy Diego was updraded from yellow to orange belt since the last we saw of him! Hurray!

Could be ^^

Hm, maybe Diego and Veronica are friends from the dojo, and he introduces her to Lil due to their shared interest in the supernatural? ;)
