KATIE COOK DRAWS KATRINA

Katie Cook drew me her own version of Katrina yesterday!

I also got her to draw me Catbug...and I couldn't resist buying a BMO painting she already had on display. So cool.

A few more pages from Barbadango and Katrina's first encounter.

THE CROOKEN CREEPER

A ferocious, untameable forest demon and the last of its kind. It sports long claws, sharp teeth, and viciously whips its tail at anyone who comes near it.

CHOMP-CHOMP

Chom-Chomp is a flying shrub, one of the many wild creatures that roam the kingdom. He may be tiny and can’t speak, but he’s a lot tougher than he looks. Tired of being bullied around by all the bigger shrubs, he ditches his herd to join Barbadango and Katrina. Chomp-Chomp is determined to show everyone that big things come in small packages. He often chews on Barbadango’s tail to release his anger.

KATRINA

Katrina is a feisty, danger-seeking gnome who never listens to her elders. She has been appointed as the new Autumn Gnome which makes her the guardian of her kingdom—the last one snuffed it! All eyes are on her as she is given the task to search far and wide for the most noble, valiant animal to be their protective Red Knight. Instead she chooses Barbadango, which has everyone even more convinced that she’s unfit for her role. Katrina is the only one who ever sticks up for her teammate because she sees something in him that no one else does: a best friend.

POWERS:

With her enchanted sword, she can both wield and absorb fire—this gives her the ability to control Barbadango’s powers as well as re-energize him whenever he needs a boost.

A first look at the Chorts!

The Chorts are mechanised robots designed to capture all wild creatures, bring them to the dark region of Teraglyph, and make them part of their ever growing army. All gnomes and animals hide in fear of the chorts, hoping for the red knight and autumn gnome to get rid of them once and for all.

A first look at the Flying Shrubs!

At a first glance these floating creatures look menacing but once you get to know them, they’re a fun bunch who love to sing… terribly. Their nomadic herd is constantly on the move to avoid being hunted down by the ones responsible for destroying their home, the Chorts.
