Cartoon Fun #6

Howdy, folks! I'm back once again for today with a doodle that definitely took more time than the rest to get done, and i'm extremely proud of the final result. I couldn't wait to get it finished to show you all. Here is a drawing of Yumi Yoshimura from Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi! It's a show that has been one of my top favorites for years now. Well, here is the drawing!


Yumi is one of my favorite fictional characters ever (among many others) simply because of how cute, hot-headed yet kind-hearted she can be. In a lot of the episodes i saw back when i had easy access to this show, my impression of her was that she was sort of a loudmouth with an attitude, but she very obviously had a kind and well-meaning soul, especially when she was around her friend and band mate Ami. Their dynamic is downright adorable, and i absolutely loved the way both of them typically worked together to solve whatever it was they got themselves in.
The music in this show is glorious, all being performed by the extremely talented group 'PUFFY', who i also love to death. Funnily enough, it seems they performed the English version of the intro alongside the Spanish and Portuguese versions. That's some real dedication.
What's my favorite episode? I'm not sure, but one i LOVED watching was Showdown. It had a wild west type setting, and it had really pretty visuals. I also think the character reaction takes looked really good there. 
Admittedly, it's been a long time since i last watched it, but i'm all for giving it a rewatch!

Howdy, folks. It's about time i posted something to this blog. It's the weekend, and i'm free from school for a tiny bit. Thought i might as well use up the free time i have to get a little work done. Here's a little doodle of Stimpy from the Ren and Stimpy show. Drew this up in notebook paper at school, and i thought it was good enough to digitalize.  Ren and Stimpy has always been one of my favorite cartoons. I found it one time while flipping through the channels on my TV. Turns out, Comedy Central had been airing the show for a good while by then. The first episode i saw was season two's 'The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen', and it was a visual treat all the way through. Not only were the jokes extremely funny, but the art, animation and especially the character acting were extremely impressive and well done. It didn't look like a cartoon from the 90s. I was used to them being a tiny bit more bland, so it piqued my interest instantly. Ever...

Howdy, folks. I'm back once again, and now i wanted to share this really cool drawing of Pepper Ann! I'm super happy with how this turned out, and i especially like her as a character in general. Here's the drawing:  This came as a request from a looong long time ago. A friend of mine is a huge fan of this show, and i had gotten really into it thanks to him. While i had never made a huge fuzz about it, i wound up having a soft spot for it. At first, the sense of humor it handled and the topics it touched didn't really sit well with me. They came off as the cliche problems a middle schooler on a sitcom would have, but the more episodes i watched, the more i started to grow fond of them. I especially liked one where Pepper Ann harshly criticizes a film for the school newspaper, and the director himself (somehow) flies out to where she lives and challenges her to take it upon herself to make her own film, so as she could experience the struggle that comes with ...

Howdy, folks. Once again, i'm back for today with a relatively simple doodle. Took no more than 10 minutes for me to make. Here's Ren Höek from The Ren and Stimpy Show! Background painting is a generic slip i made a while ago. Ren has to be my favorite fictional character of all time, mainly in the way of how real his emotions feel in every single episode. The attitude he was given and the way his voice (from season 1 to season 2) bends to that makes him an extremely endearing character, its genius performance. Though, it's hard to like him when he tends to be an asshole to Stimpy, who's always looking out him. Looking past that, i like to think he has a good heart but always caves into his emotions due to pressure. My example for this is Stimpy's Fanclub of all episodes, especially the ending. I always loved how he was so blinded by the excitement of finally receiving a letter dedicated to him (after spending the whole episode thinking people hate him) ...
