Alright, so I pride myself on telling unique stories with oddball characters that are grounded enough to believe in but also laugh at. I was thinking about one of my favorite characters, Wesson, a satyr in my story "Pitch The Adventures of Danger Rabbit." He's a guy who doesn't wear pants, punches holes in walls, and talks to animals. Wes is a blunt but caring person. He'll cherish intimate moments, but he's so shameless he won't realize those same moments should remain private. He and the main character, Pitch, have a relationship that's constantly changing and evolving.

Anyway, I wondered if you guys had any interesting/odd/weird romantic characters in your stories or comics that you'd like to spotlight.

Ingrid is my main love interest. She's a Valkyrie who was born in 1920s Liverpool, dresses in 40s clothing, likes the Beatles, and does cross-stitch.
She can also turn into a swan.

I have a side plot like that in my comic, one of my main character's named Zane has a crush on a girl named Mona. The only problem is he's a zombie and she's a human. Most of his attempt's to be sweet and romantic usually fail because he's not very bright when it comes to romance.

Talk about odd, how about a skull monster that only "lives" when put on a conscious being? Anax can be a bit prickly, a bit possessive, but he has to give in to the person who wears him sometimes or else he's basically dead. Don't like an insect boyfriend? No problem! In this stage of his 'life', he can essentially shapeshift the innards of his body (a foggy smoke-like substance that can harden and be dry to the touch or be a slimy gel depending on circumstances). He can take on a human shape if that's more comfortable for you. But he can't change his tangible skull.

The way he functions makes scenes hard to draw, that's for sure, which is why I wrote Secunda1 as a novel instead! xD
