Had a sketch I just recently colored in; The naming scheme for these characters is having 2 letters and whatever can be spelled, by technicality is their name.

(E.g., BM can stand for "Big Man", "Brute Moon", "Bad Manners", etc. All would technically be his name).

AS: "It is actively harming you as I warn you"
He says sarcastically.

BM: "They're just trying to show their affection!"
He responds while playing with the doggo, completely aware of the fact its shooting a laser through his tail. Which for some reason he finds to be an adorable action.

RC moos instead of bark simultaneously, he shoots a laser from their third eye and blast through BM's tail.

I think the hardest obstacle to overcome, at least in my case is Fear. It immobilizes us and prevents us from getting hurt, but sometimes that same overdrive of fear gets us hurt instead. One day I'll be able to face the man in the mirror, I just have to take it one step at a time, and be brave.

BM attempting to brake the glass that contains the embodiment of his fear. A version of him that's twisted and reminds BM of the dangers of the world he inhabits; BM swiftly backs away and endures the pain inflicted to his body via his own cognition. Preparing himself to strike once again, as he attempts to overcome his fear.

It serves as a metaphor for facing one's own fear and how difficult it can be to overcome it, even if they're courageous.

In a galaxy far away from Banju's exists another where Psychic powers are the norm. Unless you're Uzel or 704 who rely on special equipment to even mimic a fraction of a true psychic's power.

704 or "Sevenzerofour" is a female character and best friend of "Uzel The Cat". Her equipment is called, "The Hackpack" allowing her to quite literally hack anything she programs the device to be compatible with be it a simple program or a physical object like a tree.

First comic made and considered a "Prototype" of sorts; It was meant to set the status quo between these three characters, something I'm hoping to attempt again in thee future when I'm more experienced with both Art and Storytelling elements.

(The Blue Alien's name is "Jippol")

Uzel The Cat is a male, alienated cat who acts like a jerk towards everyone except 704. He has severe trust issues with a blue, frost-based alien named "Jippol" who. Supposedly, is the reason Uzel is required to wear goggles.

He sports a "Hydropak" that enables him to have the capabilities of a hydrokinetic. However, he often uses these powers to enhance his life quality at the expense of others.

Banju using his trusty biotenna can turn any part of his body into a plant (and can make plants sprout from a solid surface);

Outfit 1 - His casual clothes.
Outfit 2 - His work uniform.
Outfit 3 - What he wears in the future.
