Miki


This is Miki, Kekoa's best friend. His name means "quick" in Hawaiian, and that's what he is out on the surf, but you can't understand a word he says because he talks too damn fast. He's a real fun loving guy who always enjoys a good party.

Kekoa


This is Kekoa, which means "bold and courageous" in Hawaiian. He may be bold and strong out on the pipelines, but he truly is a gentle kinda guy. I used the same techniques to color this character.

Berko


This is Berko, the Thorny Devil lizard and he's as crazy as his name says. He is a master of gadgets and weapons and is the team's supplier and expert of outback technology. Even though he's a techno wizard, being out in the hot Australian sun has left a few burnt circuits in his head, so he's one of those guys. I used the same techniques to give him color.

Dag


Every team has a bumbling goof, and Dag is no exception. With a name that means "funny, and goof", this platypus doesn't disappoint. Aside from being Ozzie's right hand guy, he is also the team's means of transportation as the driver and pilot of their ground, air, and water craft. I also colored him using the same techniques as the rest, as you can see.

Lollie


This is Lollie the kangaroo. With a name that means "candy and sweet" in Australian, she is sweet but a tough piece of candy. She is the sassy, free-minded, martial arts expert of the Australian team led by Ozzie the koala. I also colored her with markers and retouched in Photoshop.

Ozzie


This is a koala character named Ozzie. He is the leader of a team of Australian Outback "defenders." What he lacks in size, he makes up in strength, intelligence, and wisdom. I colored him first with markers and later retouched in Photoshop.
