I have spent the last few weeks wondering on and off if putting these two in a room together would be a character design faux-pas for a thing I haven't even started working on yet (and it's possible, though unlikely, I never will).

Hope you enjoy experiencing this as much as I've enjoyed creating it.

Started working on a thing.

No idea if it's ever going to get finished (it's still mostly concepts at the moment) but I've been playing around with this idea in my head for a while now, so I felt like bringing it up.
