concept drawing for ''KaBOOkeh''

Description

Weeell my inspirations, thoughts and imaginations were totally carried away this time.
This idea contains a VERY long description but PLEEEASE read everything it if you want to understand this conceptional drawings. *puppy eyes*
Where shall I start?

I´ve noticed that in several manga and anime the concept of a ghost/soul/spirit posessing inanimated onjects is often used.
So I´ve adapted this for the main-plot of an own-thoughted Manga-story titeled "KaBOOkeh!".
I find the phonenic mix of "Kabuki" and "BOO!" pretty funny and sure it also shall reflect the essential story´s elements.
I admit (to my own big dissapointment!) that I doubt to draw an entire REAL manga. (I just can´t draw in this hightly effective black and white style TT____TT)
But at least I wanted to draw and show you my basic ideas. The gengre can be a mix of humor, fantasy (in a real world) with some VERY slight horror-features...

:bulletred:the plot :bulletred:
(Don´t slaughter me if this sounds too senseless for you, if there are incorrectly used parts AND for again such a pretty long text-block. Q___Q)

Natsumi (a 13 year old and curious girl) and her friend Shizuka were challeged by Toshiro to pass a bravery-test. The taskt was to explore an old and small theatre nearby their living-places at night.
Curious as Natsumi was she instantly agreed and convinced the morely cautious Shizuka to join the adventure.

To do not cause any suspicion of their parents about the planned, not really legal bravery-test , Natsumi invited them at home for a reguliar sleep-over like they had together for so many times.
Luckily Natumi´s parents weren´t at home for the week-end too.
So finally sneaked into the old building the three found an old, locked trunk which seemed to be totally forgotten for ages.
Successfully opened, a dusty-looking red Kabuki-wig was stored inside it. Only knowing vague it´s use from pictures, Natsumi decided to take it with her.
Shizuka was too much creeped out for wanting it and Toshiro would get allergic difficulties with all the dust and old fur for a longer time.

Back at Natsumi´s home the trio sure examined the weird fluffy thing after beeing cleaned. While "celebrating" the successful treasure-hunting, they were quite amused about the look when wearing their "trophy". (expect Toshiro)
The wig, camouflaged as one of Natsumi´s many plushies also is safe from causing any akward question of her parents after returned at home.

At the following monday at school Toshiro brought a small news-paper-article about a brief announcemet for buliding plans of a new super-market. Exactly at the same place where the old theatre was, which the three friends had "visited" the last week-end.
Happy and glad about visiting this place in just the right moment before beeing removed they returned again to their daily live.
But not for a long time...

At the same evening after the theatre was demolished, a weird floating ghostly-like shape left this place and roams around wakefully in this quarter.
Passing Natsumi´s house, the ghost sensed something very familiar and snucked in. Seeing the wig he merged with it and rest there for the rest of the night.

During the following day nothing special happened to Natsumi, but after returning at home and doing her homeworks, she felt slightly different in this room.
As if someone is observing her...
Beeing distraced by this feeling she took a break and wanted to examine the wig which caughted her attention.
A sudden shrug of the wig let her creep out alot. After calming down abit Natsumi secondly poked the wig with a broomstick and the ghost couldn´t resist anymore to reveal his presence in a very slapstick-styled way.
Thanks to her curiousity Natsumi didn´t fainted but talked to the "furry thing" which looked at her with a pale, painted face, green eyes and even replied to her with bagging to do not harm him.

After checking the situation for avoiding any parental noticement, Natsumi continued to talk with the ghost, who more and more revealed his true identity:
He was a young Kabuki-actor named Nobu lived around 80 years ago. He sadly suffered a deadly accident right after a performance at that certain old forgotten theatre.
Unwanted to compleatly leave the living´s world, his soul was able to attach to the theatre until now.
Beeing destroyed, his resting-place didn´t exsited anymore so he serached for at least an object connected to his former life, whick luckily turned out to be his old wig.
Feeling pity and kinda sympazising with the ghostly actor, Natsumi decided to keep him in his room.

This decision will totally mess up Natsumi´s and her soonly involved two friends´ daily lifes in a very chaotic but funny way...

:bulletgreen:main characters .bulletgreen:
(Last names MAY appear soon...)

Natsumi (beautiful summer):
(The full-size drawing of the female student)
She´s 13 year old, a quite curious girl and always ready for a cool adventure.
She´s closely befriended with her long-termed neighbours Shizuka and Toshiro.

Shizuka (calm):
(The black haired girl in the group-picture)
As a calm and morely cautious person as the best friend she´s a good counterbalance for Natsumi.

Toshiro (talented, intelligent):
(the guy with the brown"Afro")
The buddy of Natsumi and Shizuka he always have new callenges and adventures for them.

Nobu (extending , delaying)
(the furry-cute ghostly Kabuki-wig XD)
A 12 year old Kabuki-actor lived 80 years ago.
Suffered a deatly accident right after a performance, his soul refused to leave the living world and stucked to the old theatre.
After beeing demolished, the soul was forced to search for a new place to stay...which turned out to be his Kabuki-wig, often worn in his former life.
Here you can see him eating ramen:

:bulletblue:the special features of Nobu:bulletblue:
After forced to leave the theatre´s place, he posses his old wig and uses it as a "second physical body".
This causes different effects on him and the former inanimated object.
In general the "soul-flames" always stay near him to significate his deceased status.
As a ghost he can levitate and pass through walls wherever he wants. In this state Nobu also can decide weather to show his ghostly presence or not to other humans. But he can´t keep this form for longer than 12 hours because of the need of resting in at least one object which is attached to the living´s world AND to his former life.
(If the 12 hour-limit will be surpassed, Nobu would become a truely revengeful soul when not feeling peaceful...)
The only thing left is his wig for sure. The time Nobu leves the possesed object also determinates the time which he has to stay as the minimum before secondly leaving.
(Example: four hours leaving will demand at least exactly four hours resting.)
But Nobu prefers to stay in the object, because he can truely interact with his surrounding and he also doesn´t feel so "bald".
Nobu uses the wig´s "side-parts" as arms and fully shaped hands and the rest as the body. Beeing in the wig he only can levitate hight enough to hold upright the wig like worn in real. But even the "tail" can be controlled which moves morely slithering-styled while "walking of funny-cute wiggeling when beeing excited.
His face remained fully painted and it can´t be washed away anymore.
When beeing extremly enraged the normally fluffy-cute-looking Nobu shows his real creepy form.
Puffing up his entire hair to a wild mane, having additional red paint-markings instead of red skin, slit-like pupils and enflamed "soul-fires" are the most significant emotional signs of Nobu´s anger.
Through the object he can enjoy many parts like a living beeing but with still slight differences.
For example sleeping and eating regular food allows him to keep up his "posseing energy"
(But not the need for a toilet XDDD)
Nobu really hates water but developed a strong love to the modern fast-food like instant-noodles.
Sadly he often dirts himself while fastly eating the junk-food Nobu needs to be cleaned which sure causes several funny moments when Natsumi tries to get Nobu into the bathroom.
As much he hates to be wet, Nobu truely enjoys to be brushed. It´s like stroking for him, which he couldn´t enjoy for such a long time.
The "furry troublemaker" also likes to snatch a hair-dryer for a faster drying. He generally likes the blowing wind-stream running through the hair.
When extremly joyful, Nobu oddly curls around the floor and often causes a big mess too.
Even his soul stood for such a long time, Nobu still is a 12 year old and playful character.

What the hell? I...I can't even come up with something to say about that that thing. Ai dios mio.

People with weak minds question nothing. People with average minds question certain things. People with strong minds question everything. By Kaizer913 who is me.
