Graphic Novel: Characters

So for inspirational design we have a graphic novel anthology we are making as a class. I'm planning on doing paper cut outs for my final design. I have my ideas sketched out and my characters designed. I decided to go a little odd this time.
I have 4 characters to fit the theme of strange companions.

 Here's my four main characters. Kwait the flower, Hipopotam "Tam" the hippo, Ryba the anglerfish, and Automat "mat" the robot.

I had to alternatives of Tam in a flapper dress and evil version of kwait designed too. Then I got into the water colors.

Therefore I got distracted and made the following piece.
