In This Image, Kortax And Aku Are Depicted In Their Human, Younger Versions. I Would Temporarily Classify

In this image, Kortax and Aku are depicted in their human, younger versions. I would temporarily classify them in a "school" universe, where they look quite fitting. I like to think of it as an old photograph from some kind of sanatorium.

Speaking of the image, I would note that it was experimental, as I am still searching for suitable brushes for the new program. I found a relatively good brush for lines, but not for painting — I need a more painterly option. The drawing turned out to be quite lazy, but if you don’t look too closely, it looks decent. I see problems in it, but I'm not eager to fix them. On the positive side, I would highlight the interesting marine motif: the fish on Kortax's t-shirt reflects his positive attitude, while the sea creature on Aku's shirt seems ready to overeat all those little fish. Additionally, the interpretation of the tree that Aku represents in the original universe — a birch — turned out well. I think those pigment spots suit him.

While drawing, I was chatting with my friend and we discussed alternative names for these characters. Based on our conversation, we came up with some rough options: Kortax could be called Curtis, and Aku — Albert
