Which would you prefer as the protagonist for the next comic project? The winner will shape the story of a man being isekai’ed into a maid 😇 the loser will be reduced to being in the background of a panel or two.
Here are the preliminary first pass sketches. (I think Erik will be made fatter, and Emil a little more slimy looking in their final versions):
Emil:
Emil is a shady used furniture salesman turned mortgage broker. He is a sly narcissist with a sharp tongue, always using big words, acronyms and industry terms to try to confuse people. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself and is only out for personal gain, even if it’s at the expense of others. He’s the type of person to try to scam the elderly.
Erik:
Erik is an office worker at a small company, but he’s completely inept at his job. He ignores emails, pretends he doesn’t have the time or the knowledge to do the tasks he’s asked to do, and somehow has made it this far in life just on idiot’s luck and being the boss’s nephew. Everything Erik touches turns into a mess and those working around him have to work unpaid overtime to clean it up. He’s the type who is happy to watch others work instead of helping.
