So at work I started to listen to a podcast by @thepenumbrapodcast, Juno Steel and I love it.
Got through the first season and ogh.
Characters are like, hardly described at all so this is all my interpretation, I can explain some of my choices and personal headcanons for designs.
So the reason why I gave Juno long hair is that honestly, I do not understand gender in this podcast. I can not tell if Juno is a man or not (most likely is, but I keep being confused) so I have him long hair so he could more easily swap in my mind between being female and male. Accidentally genderfluid Juno, oops.
Rita wears yellow glasses because she would wear silly glasses to the office.
Peter's look took inspiration from Aziraphale. Not that I've seen Good Omens, I just think he fits his voice. Additionally, always wears a white tux because he likes the aesthetic (Though gets annoying with the blood that's usually spilled with him around).
Also I would have loved to make them look more martian and future like, but I don't have the creative juices right now, I'll redesign and color them later.
I found these old sketches I did of Olala and oh my goodness, these are such cute sketches. I need to finish the Second Citadel eventually. Also spoiler for 2nd main story of Second Citadel below, if you haven't listened yet.
The direct quote was slightly altered (omitted a few words): And now your boat has vanished, and you are floating on the waves The fish are only your thoughts. Can thoughts bite you? They can hurt, that they can, but can they draw blood? Wound you? No. And so as each thought touches you, do not resist it. Do not grab the fish. You are floating, and the waves are gentle, And they will protect you. When a bad thought touches you, that Is all it has done. Touch. Thieved. Then, let it swim away. Swim away, swim away.

[Image Description] Digital drawing by bmpdraws shows the character Olala from the Penumbra Podcast of the Second Citadel floating on top of water. The water beneath the character is filled with numerous blue lion-fish. The character's tail has a mouth at the end of it. Olala looks up at the sky, drifting.
