WUNPO

[kiyakotari]

Anyone who reads my LJ is doubtless familiar with Wren and Jian Yuan, but I'm also (slowly) putting together the core group of their coworkers in the World United Nation Police Organization (WUNPO). Here's a drawing I did of the other characters that will eventually have bodies as part of WUNPO.

I'd like to reiterate that I am not an artist. Please forgive.



Rupali: A Communications Officer for the Special Intervention Unit (SIU) based out of WUNPO headquarters, Rupali Emily Davies works with several different teams in Wren & Jian Yuan's squad, and she's most often assigned to run comms for agents in the unit on special assignments. She was originally to be a Souldoll tan "Queena," but then I discovered that Supia makes a "Tan Rosy," and Queena lost her place in the running.

Tekla: Tekla Else Ahlström is WUNPO's Director, Wren and Jian Yuan's ultimate commander, and often gives them their orders directly. She will be an Iplehouse EID "Jessica Pierrot."

Jackson: Jackson Ward is an SIU field agent with WUNPO, in Wren and Jian Yuan's squad, and often goes on assignment with them. She is a Twigling "Ylisande," but will become a Twigling "Nkiru" when the head is made.

Hunter: Hunter Richard Jamieson is an SIU field agent with WUNPO, in Wren and Jian Yuan's squad. Before joining WUNPO, he was a sharp-shooter with the New York Police Department (NYPD) Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit. In SIU, he frequently serves as a sniper and often goes on assignment with Wren and Jian Yuan. His future head mold is still up for debate, but he'll probably be on an Infiniti Doll SID boy body.

Laith: Doctor Laith al-Mehri ibn Mahdi is the head of the infirmary at WUNPO headquarters, and is specifically responsible for maintaining the health of the SIU agents based out of WUNPO headquarters, which includes Wren, Jian Yuan, Hunter, and Jackson. He is a Spirit Doll tan "Echium."

Nope, no Kamau. He's too big for this crew - the sculpt would throw the scale of all the rest off. Sad, because I love him, but he just doesn't fit. My Luo and Akando fit into the fantasy (satyr!crack) group, because the dolls in that bunch are all larger, but the WUNPO group are all smaller in stature.

"Not academic." Heh. That's awesome.

A lot of people think that if it isn't up to the pro standards of academic art, in the classical realist tradition, they're not doing a good enough job.
Thing is, things that some primitive artists convey is completely different in mood and does some really interesting different things that you can't reach by academic art standards. Caribbean folk art cluttered with lots of bright figures dancing, for instance, tells you an entirely different situation than any western artist's beach-scene trying to say the same thing.
