Description On the topic of woozles, ya'll should totally listen to one of the greatest cartoon theme songs of all time www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdKnoj…

b-bringing that up was completely necessary o-ok
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay anyway, so a while back, I was discussing weasels and kamaitachi with my favorite dweeb  and I felt the urge to draw a couple designs for weasel characters. Some really quick descriptions of both:

Zephyr - Always carries a small sickle in her mouth. Her powers are far nastier than her gentle-sounding name would imply; she can slash her sickle in front of her head and send out razor-sharp blades of wind to tear into enemies like much larger, more painful paper cuts. Her weasely body is a bit stumpy on account of still being a babby. She's pretty sweet... just beware that she DOES in fact have quite a good defense mechanism. Also, random fun fact: "zephyr" is my all-time favorite word. :')

Johnny - I've always loved jack-in-the-boxes and wanted one as a character. What do weasels and jack-in-the-boxes have anything to do with each other? Well, there actually IS a connection. If you can guess it, congrats! You're an expert on jack-in-the-boxes just like me. Most people just name jack-in-the-boxes "Jack" so he's called Johnny because I fuckin love that name, man. Johnny's a bit of a recluse and grumpy, so he's basically similar to Oscar the Grouch. He's always hiding in his box (no one's quite sure how he easily travels around with it), but should some curious sap turn the crank on the box, he'll spring out and give 'em a good scare. He's not actually a complete jerk though, he'd just rather be left alone and gets sick of people understandably making fun of his stupid hairstyle. His body isn't literally a spring nor is he like... fused with the box. He's just wearing a striped shirt and can hop in and out of his box and walk around whenever he wants. But fuck that shit. He's a bit too cranky.

I thought of Johnny over a year ago actually and just now thought of a design, but this is also why he's slightly more developed than Zephyr. I intentionally wanted one of them to be a little more detailed and odd while the other is more plain and normal-looking. Their sizes also aren't to scale here - Johnny and his box are... rather large and Zephyr is a small child who doesn't quite come up to the top of his box when it's closed. They also aren't really intended to be Sonic fancharacters, just "general" characters.

Excuse the sketchiness and messiness, it's how I prefer to draw lol. These are just quick design sketches anyhow. I might do more character design things like this in the future.

Also let me be honest here, I will probably only draw these guys once, like I do with everything ahahaha ;;

THEY ARE SO UTTERLY CHARMING I WENT "AH!!" OUT LOUD!!! ;;

Everything about johnny is A+, from the fact that his name is specifically not Jack, his adorable face paint (i love that cute lil front view hehe), his whiskers and poofy hair and stripey shirt and round nose, the SURPRISE-looking pattern on the inside of the box lid, the CUTE CLOWNY WEASEL EMBLEM ON THE BOX OMG, the fact that he is CRANKy (>:v h-how dare you) like a more circusy oscar the grouch ... PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!!
I like his face both times you drew it by the way, not just the front view. He's really cute with his little eyebrows >B-(  he looks exactly and perfectly woozely but he also looks cartoony in a good balance, like... a lot of the time, people make the animal look either too cartoony so it doesn't resemble what it's supposed to be, or they make it look too animal-like so it loses that human element, but you hit that delicate balance very well here, with both of them ;;
Also, I want to be a jack in the box expert too, pls evaluate my knowledge:
the connection is: pop goes the weasel.  >B-( ;;

AND DID YOU KNOW: ZEPHYR IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE WORDS TOO??? a soft sounding word for soft warm wind... and it has a nice blend of rare letters giving it a cool look *____*
I love her cutely stomping feet oh my GOD, and the little ankle ribbon hehe
Her sickle shaped eyelashes are striking and her curly whiskers look like the wind ;; I like that she is small and a babby with stumpy legs lol...  It reminds me of my kitten...
I like her simple design and also how she looks like she's cheerfully waving hello while carrying a deadly sickle in her mouth hehe :3L
And I love her kyukimon-esque powers of course too lol >B-(

Purely because they are next to each other, i suddenly can't help but see them as possibly having a big brother and little sister type of relationship perhaps, although they may not be related. I can imagine Zephyr marching up to the box you arent supposed to crank and then cranking it and then HEEEERE'S JOHNNY, or alternatively she knocks it over with windy strike and he falls out pfft, but then something something and he develops a soft spot for this babby only. m-maybe lol ;; that's just what popped into my head @__@
Well, regardless of what kind of interaction they have, I really like them and if you drew more... i would highly approve >B-(

I have to wonder also... what kind of colors do they have... or do you know ;;
