This bad boy is the very first original character that I ever made. In the Spring/Summer of 2003, he was made as part of a school project that I was working on in Grade 8. This was way before my artistic skills were at their peak. In Grade 9, he was entered into my high school yearbook. This was also my very first "cosplay" as my school had a Halloween "Fashion Show" that year and I entered. Over the years, he's been put on the shelf and/or re-designed. But one is for certain. He is always going to be a part of me. He is the representation of everything that I am and everything I still want to become. My symbol of hope. He paved the way for all of my OC projects.
Some of elements that helped inspire me to create Komi were TMNT, Star Wars, DBZ, Pokemon and Power Rangers Ninja Storm (RIP Pua Magasiva).
