Roaring Spirits - Cattani Concept Art

Hi everyone! As you all know, I've been continuously writing the outline for Roaring Spirits these past few months, which also includes coming up with several major characters who will appear throughout the story. Here's some early concept art of one of the major characters in the story -- Marcello Cattani!

A former blackbelt and karate master, Mr. Cattani is a Black-footed Cat that is the owner of a small business, Cattani's Pizza and Italian Kitchen -- He's also Jackie's boss and non-relative uncle (though Jackie isn't allowed to refer to him as Uncle while on the job)! 

Cattani can come across as stern and overprotective of Jackie's abilities, but only because he wants the best for Jackie. As a result, Cattani handles the pizza making, and Jackie works with deliveries and yknow, cleaning and mopping stuff. Maybe someday uncle will acknowledge her abilities....

Any who! I hope to introduce some more character concepts soon! Some may have little lore blurbs and others may just be design stuff to be explained in the web comic... :)
