Description If only to get out of my drawing rut, here's another quick vector-trace colouring of a fairly recent pencil sketch.
Here's Hercule and Boadicea, the children of Leroy "Hydrex" and Pearl Rudderbuck - as teenagers.

What do you reckon? Should I keep them as children or teenagers?

Is "Bodicea" named after an Enya song?

I don't know about that - not an Enya fan really.
No, Boadicea gets her name from Celtic origins.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudica

Enya is from Ireland and a LOT of her songs are in Gaelic and have a Celtic origin. The song "Boadicea" is even from an album called "The Celts".

I wouldn't know... none of us are really Enya fans...
Mum says all her songs sound exactly the same to us and her lyrics are too indistinct to be understand...
Not sure how this song even comes to be called Boadicea, myself. All they sing is "Mmmm..."

If I want to listen to something with a nice Celtic flavour, and an actual tune to it, we'd more likely look to someone like Stuart Townend.

(Whoa... I've already forgotten how that Enya song goes, listening to this)

Most of her lyrics are in Gaelic.

Personally to answer your question, it could go either way if they should stay as children or as teens as depicted here.

I admit, this is a very clean color job here too. Looks like Boadicea and Hercule look like the chip off the ol' blocks on their parents! Excellent job on these guys

Indeed! I'm sure the parents are very happy that the two raised you from young Cubs to be nearly full grown adults! Who knows, maybe one of you might attend the animalympics someday and the other...might get Eliza's paw

Hercule: I hope I'll be worthy of Eliza someday...
Boadicea: And I still hope to be a gold-medal javelinist and swimmer!

Oh, keep your chin up you cubs.. Im sure Eliza will otherwise be enthralled by someone as cool as you, Hercule. As for Boadicea, if there's ever a platinum medal, you'd snag more Platinum then gold with your skills.

They've aged well, haven't they? Nice update of these two, you could continue to draw them both as kids and teenagers if you like.

Cute otters! I think you can have it both ways: have stories when they're kids, and have other stories when they're teenagers.

Heh, maybe... kind of depends what I get to work on... or if I develop into the RP head-canon that's been developing between me and Alex...
