Description
I'm a big fan of Kim Possible artwork and have been trying to do some of my own. Drawing KP so far hasn't really delivered the results I have been looking for, even less than worth sharing with anyone just yet. So I figured maybe I'd try my hand at an original fictional character as a start.

So after a late-night brainstorm session I conceived Ken Trepid, whose name is a play off of the word "Intrepid", keeping with the theme of KP characters whose names do the same.

As for the character, I wanted to make a male in his mid-20's who had a little more edge and a little more gadgets at his disposal than what KP and Ron traditionally have. So I gave Ken a backpack which theoretically holds several devices like an extra set of robotic hands seen here. I'll probably add other devices as I develop the character.

Personality-wise, I'm leaning with a maverick/nomadic kind of character who helps KP & Ron on their missions while at the same time remains detached with a classified past. I have an idea for a story if I ever can develop a decent story arc. (No, I don't see him as competition for Ron, I like many others like to think him and KP end up together)

But to the brass tacks, I'm quite proud of this image. It's the first drawing I did in Fireworks and in the style of many of today's cartoons. I really was happy about the shading too, I am still trying to work on that but I did a little trick that really gave a good result imho.

I'm kind of excited to see where this idea goes.
