Fashion Is The Best Distraction

 

Fashion can be really easy to appreciate and love, it can be more fresh, attractive and vibrant to how you can express yourself.

Wouldn't it be great to make people entertained by the way you look or how other people look? 

I think cartoons barely go for special occasions where they dress casually or in special, unique ways.

It makes the character have more personality and a chance at being iconic.

I've been loving this genre ever since I watched The Three Stooges, almost every episode they would have different and fun outfits. 

I love the duo/trio group trope. I'm doing it myself with my characters. I think having just one character isn't as easy as it sounds. It's all fun in games when you bring another pal, or even a few more of them.

Drawing characters and making them wear clothing takes alot of work and adds more attention to the audience. They can't just be bare-naked, they have to fit into the right atmosphere and setting.

Look at Porky Pig here. In the Charlie Dog cartoons, he always wears his usual blue coat and red bow tie, here he's fit into the farmer archetype. The straw hat, overalls you name it. It's more sensible and fitting.

Characters like Bugs Bunny don't need to have too much clothes because his natural and witty personality fits perfectly with how he looks, however when he does wear fashion, it's less expressive than you think but it's still able to work decently. 

In fact, Bugs absolutely looks fine in various outfits. 

I love stuff like this. The poses, the amusing talking, A Hare Grows In Manhattan in particular is really underrated, and well told. 

It takes inspiration and influences to create something just like The Three Stooges and Bugs Bunny and this proves otherwise. 

You barely see anyone wear fashion like this anymore and it's really good to explore and experience the past. It's also visually pleasing. Everyone looks slim, clean and confident. 

I love a good bit of quirkiness and whenever one of my favorite cartoon characters or actors just go to the silly route, it's a really interesting ride. 

Sometimes weird can be funny and I believe that. When I first saw Three Stooges's Creeps (1956), I was absolutely floored by how uncanny but hilarious Moe, Larry and Shemp are dressed as babies. The short is a clip-show, but I think it has some good clips. 

While we all love to wear whatever we want and try not to be too modest and classy especially in the modern world of today, we still have to appreciate what styles and trends we have experienced so we can talk about them and send love and passion for it. We gotta be grateful somehow. 

Even in those animated versions, you can still like it and appreciate the appeal. 

I love Cock O' The Walk. It has some fantastic dance scenes, and underrated silent characters.

Not only does this 90 year old cartoon have personality but it's widely acceptable for the era. Seeing anthropomorphic roosters dance and having a rubbery boxing match feels like true cinema. I really miss stuff like this. If this ever happens again, don't make it have useless talking involved, make it have exceptional dialogue and trust-worthy and reliable characters who know how to dance and feel at ease and spirit. I'm begging for this genre to come back. 

I think the post renaissance of fashion and entertainment was the 90s and 2000s. I grew up with one of the most creative, sharp and collected TV shows I ever watched. Backyardigans was full of exploration and I loved alot of the music. I think it was clearly inspired by the classics. It's really fun and perfect for younger audiences.

March Madness

 

This week has been loads of me being bored and doing nothing while drawing on my phone. 

The app I usually go to for drawing all of what I make is Samsung Notes, and the editing grain effects and lighting is all made by Picskit.

I just seem to improve every step in the right direction whenever I make a new post.

I always thought that Casper The Friendly Ghost's audiences were for kids and adults who want everything to be friendly and caring with it's utterly sweet character designs. That being said I don't mind friendliness, it's powerful, but doesn't fit in a fictional short film series. 

Now here's some better characters.

When this show was popular and aired alot more often on Sprout, I started to lose my interest of the channel.

The Un-fabulous 4

Truly one of the most handsome actors. It's so hard drawing his hairstyle though so I always draw him a hat. Whenever that happens, he looks way more younger almost in vain of the late 1920s-early 30s. 

 

My childhood was always around playing toys and watching shows I would tune into. 

International Super Spy is among my favorite TV episodes of all time. 

An emotionally stable dog. Loved drawing this dude.

This is what it would look like if real people saw Dutcher and Ben Obivous in real life and would make it to Hollywood only have it them being caricatured like the big heads and small body proportions.

Recent Artmania Drawings Cuz I'm Bored

 

Today was kinda "eh" so for now I'll post my usual art.

I never ever read The Three Billy Goats Gruff before but I do know it stars three goats and a troll. Just like with the chihuahua and poodle movie idea I made on Valentine's Day, They're going to get their own feature film. 

You know how obsessed Disney is with their fairytale adaptations and somewhat decently handled original stories? Not all of the Disney movies based off fables were good. In fact some of them don't shut the hell up like with the two kings in Sleeping Beauty. 

Have you seen a fairytale adaptation that's similar to the original story? Not all of them, but even if they don't relate, it still can hold up.

What I like about Wizard Of Oz, Pinocchio, and Matilda was that they had more of a comedic and expressive approach. The slapstick, the style of songs and acting all feel different than what literature gives you.

{ THE ARTMANIA SHOW }

I made some new experiments to save the show. I added a phone. It's one of those antique wall telephones back in the 30s. I really love those. Wonder how they worked. 

Pretty cool to learn history in a show for once.

FIRST EPISODE 

The first isn't always the very first. I knew that from one of Tex Avery's shorts at MGM. His first short he made at that studio was The Early Bird Dood It but it was 2nd to be released.

But promise me, the first episode is going to be the very first of the Artmania Show. 

While I was stumbling across some entertaining shows nowadays, Mickey Mouse Funhouse has a pretty perfect start to their first episode. It begins with Mickey and his friends at his house until they open up their imaginative funhouse and begin their adventure there. I think the show is an approvement over the previous entries. It has a banger theme song and cute 3D designs. 

Where could I start with The Artmania Show? These are some random doodles of Phillips and Szac. One shows Szac thinking that making a stage theater is expensive, but since it's a cartoon, you can make it up as you go a long. 

That's what I love about art. 

Ox Fisher is what y'all are seemingly liking lately as far as I'm concerned. I mean he was based off an actor I think should get more recognition.

CROSSOVERS

I first heard about this type of genre when Hanna-Barbera was doing it. Seriously these were everywhere when I was born. We had Tom and Jerry pairing with Wizard of Oz. That's interesting. 

So why can I do it myself? 

The Princess

Cinderella would work perfectly in any genre.

I mean how simple is just going to the ball, and party until it's midnight? Sounds like a good plot for a TV episode.

I feel completely lost on this one because I really want to add the Disney version of it because it's the best looking there ever will be. 

But I dunno. Maybe if I manage to reach my career to the year 2046, it'll work.

But it is public domain, so whatever works I suppose.

Whenver you guys make something that has to involve heaven and hell, I'll totally make an animated segment of my designs of the angel and devil. 

I could imagine a live action musical centered around heaven and hell and having some stylish costume choices, like the angel being swapped to a boy and singing soothing songs while a bunch of harps float around in the spiritual clouds. While in hell, a sassy queen-size devil woman hails all her imps to perform some black metal songs.

School Drawing Shenanigans 

I'm almost out of school, and I'm not feeling the groove for it anymore. I don't care about it a bit anymore, but whatever the case, I still gotta finish whatever throws at me, and whenever it's time to break loose, I draw once more. 

I designed various poses of Dredd in his show suit.

I mostly studied it with the scenes involving Zoot Suit Daffy in Book Revue. 

This is Daffy at his most attractive.

Snoopy and Woodstock Don't Get Along

You know those stupidly foul parodies from popular TV shows and media back then? It's still a thing to this day. I like some of them like Saturday Night Live's Disney Vault. The Simpsons and Family Guy had some solid parodies, song parodies can also be stellar, even sometimes being better than the actual original, I like Weird Al, but mostly I like fairytale parodies done by classic cartoons. 

What do I make?

 

A comic about Snoopy talking and Woodstock complaining about it like the stubborn pale canary he is. 

Take this as a TV-14 demographic if you must.

THE THREE PIGS ARE SCREWED

Here I made an adult-oriented three little pigs. I didn't like the third act so here's the two acts.  

Truth is, these pigs personality traits feel similar with The Three Pigs Walt Disney made in 1933. I always loved the practical pig the best because the other two are completely identical to each other.

I think Sovia works as a golden age Disney film. Unfortunately, it's not as easy to boot up. Sequels, sequels, sequels. Mostly live action movies too.

I wanted Sovia to sound like an average joette, who speaks clearly it'll make you blush. As for her sidekick, The Working Squirrel, I'll have to hire an actor, it'll be more of a surprise.

Sovia is the Bambi of our modern generation. Lively nature scenes, an animal companion and a feminine protagonist. Main fact, is that there isn't a fictional villain, the villain is basically the rainforest where the characters live.

Here's the rest of the drawings I made this time at my comfort place.
