Miko and Thomas by JayNaylor

This is the spring season image for the front page of jaynaylor.com, just a hair overdue. Red pandas have so many colors and they're so counter-intuitive to ordinary animal coloration.

I could have almost titled it "Boys and Girls Are Different".

Yep!! I've done exactly the same thing as Thomas. So many ants were sacrificed in the name of SCIENCE!

This is just a cute pic. I really think they belong together.

Best Original Life pair ever

Isn't she Lynne's and Genwyn's sister by a chance? I thought so because in OL page 462 I saw that Miko's mother called someone who looked like Genwyn (he had the same light hair and was a red panda) as her son. I can be wrong...

Between Miko, Abigail, and Red, those are my favorites. I must see more!

Big question.... and fill free to reject it as irrelevant, but is Miko Thomas' "love interest" in Original Life?

JayNaylor Featured By Owner Aug 11, 2012 Professional Artist

they're just kids really. But she comes the closest.

Seth-Nisuo Featured By Owner Aug 12, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thanks for replying, and I find it sweet that Miko comes the closest to Thomas...even more than his older sister.

Love it, especially going through both your webcomics. I especially loved the scene in the tree-house with the two of them! Hope I can see more pictures of the two of them soon!

Think of it...red panda kittens!

animanimal Featured By Owner Oct 1, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

Aww...that would be cute!

Loving131 Featured By Owner May 7, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I have a feeling Thomas & Miko are going to become childhood lovers like Elizabeth and Fisk.

LlamaBomb14 Featured By Owner May 5, 2014

I would sell my left kidney to see that happen.

Cutegasm.

I simply cannot wait until I see more Miko!

BlackDarkRain Featured By Owner Feb 25, 2012

Awesome, and very cute ^^

pokediginut Featured By Owner Feb 13, 2012 Student Writer

They are just the cutest. I wonder if Thomas'll be a chip off the old block and follow in Fisk's footsteps. . . Oh and Miko. . . such a quiet and poetic girl. I'd love to see more of her.

Screenfox Featured By Owner Feb 3, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Awwwww Miko is really cute!

WarWolf47 Featured By Owner Jan 1, 2012 Student General Artist

Love how Thomas likes Miko, yet he just sits there burning ants with a magnifying glass. And yet, I can't think of a more 'Thomas" thing for him to do.

SkelaMD Featured By Owner Nov 1, 2011

That's why I love your pics!

TheAngryRobot Featured By Owner Oct 30, 2011

Does Thomas have a mullet?

BondoFox Featured By Owner Sep 16, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

That's uber-cute, man, damn that's good!

Inuleon06 Featured By Owner Sep 9, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I love Miko so much! even more so because she's a red panda

Ginger-Bunneh Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

i love her big puffy tail. i REALLY want to hug it X3

therandomgamer Featured By Owner Sep 2, 2011

the world needs more Miko.

Half-dude Featured By Owner Jul 28, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

This is extremely cute, the girl in particular. I just recently finished a drawing of a little girl similar in age, part of a story I've got going on.. there really isn't anything more adorable and innocent you can draw.. at least in my experience.

dulcence Featured By Owner Jun 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

miko is already my absolute favorite character from original life.

MoHarri Featured By Owner May 5, 2011 Professional Artist

aww it's so cute XD

sonofphilosophy Featured By Owner Apr 27, 2011

Did you ever experiment your art skills on character reference sheets?

JayNaylor Featured By Owner Apr 27, 2011 Professional Artist

Not often. I'm not a fan of doing perfect profile or head-on shots.

sonofphilosophy Featured By Owner Apr 28, 2011

What do you mean by "head-on" shots? What are they? And I asked because I am curious on what that boy of Fisk and Elizabeth is like. He appears to me like someone who branched out of Bart Simpson in being a nihilist.
