EDIT - Fixed not-Elliot's glasses in the first panel
Commentary
I honestly didn't expect this storyline to keep going like this, but keep going it does!
I'm going to have to decide whether to have an intermission before having a storyline that's actually a story with these 100% Original Characters (written by Ashley, of course).
I probably will, because it will effectively be a new storyline even if it is connected to this, I could use some time to write it, and other characters are waiting to be on-panel for a bit, ASHLEY.
Androgynous Elliot
This form is basically a shorter, less beefy Elliot with his head drawn the same way I draw his feminine head (and, of course, Ellen's head).
I wasn't sure what outfit to go with for the last panel, so I just put not-Elliot in clothes Ashley would wear. Not-Elliot got twin ponytails (or whatever they're called in that configuration) because he started with a ponytail, so just one didn't seem different enough to me (Ashley and I are both very concerned about contrast).

M.
I've also heard "twintails", though that might be an anime/manga thing.

Misconceptions about grace aside, this seems like a sensible way to create characters. Start with a know quantity as a base (in this case a real person, but a cliche can work as well) and modify and tweak until its barely recognizeable as the origin point anymore.

Interesting -- yeah, I've heard pigtails for the non-braided sort as well as the braided sort. Possibly because there's not otherwise a good word for the non-braided sort, and I don't really remember people wearing the braided sort. Also, in my dialect, ponytails are always non-braided; if braided, it's "a braid" instead.

Hmm. Ponytails are loose, pigtails (even just one) are braided in my experience.

I've always heard this style of two ponytails called "pigtails", but it seems this may differ regionally.
