So my sister and I were talking about what Dragon Hunters might look like if it were modernized/updated to fit today’s animation standard before Christmas aaaand for fun, I did some rough sketches of the main four! Which kinda blossomed into me doing designs for *all* the recurring characters.
I don’t typically redesign things 😂 I just learn the style and mimick it the best I can so this was definitely outside my comfort zone AND super fun. I want to try some new things this year, I hope you all enjoy!
The first time I saw the mural in the castle, I couldn't help but remember the Red Dragon.
I know they look very different and maybe it's just a coincidence, but wouldn't it be epic to imagine that there was a confrontation between him and Bismuth?
(They don't even look similar, is only for the color XD)
gwizdo from dragon hunters is such a relatable character bc i too didn't choose to be small and poor and ugly and mean but here i am
and i also would scam rich people bc eat the rich they are not frequentable people and i also would adopt a kid and live in a farm with sheeps and my friend with whom i have a weirdly homoerotic relationship
Being a child of immigrants and/or spending extended amounts of time in countries outside of the one your family immigrated to is so confusing sometimes, especially with shows. Like, I don’t know what other people have seen or not seen. For example: I watched a LOT of Slugterra bc it was on the Teletoons network (Quebec network), but I’ve met like 3 ppl who remember it. Same with the TinTin movie, Astérix and Obelix, In the Night Garden, Detentionaire, Fangbone, Jimmy two shoes, the deep, are you afraid of the dark, Dragon hunters, etc. Also, having watched many of them in French (which I am very bad at, especially when I was a kid which was when I watched these programs), I have a rlly hard time explaining what actually happens and I only remember stills or the name in French instead of English. Anyways this makes it all sound like a fever dream to my USAmerican friends, i.e. “you know that show where it’s all like puppet 2D animation and the guy is running from his zombie school detention?” Or “remember that show where a bunch of people in weird costumes made noises and there were tiny people who marched outside their home?” Or “what do you mean you don’t remember the show about the big guy and the little guy on floating islands slaying dragons, one of which farted to fly?”
I loved editing this, combining the film with the series was an idea I had a while ago, and I'm honestly happy with it.
Although I don't like the movie because I think the script is boring, they worked a lot on the scenery, both in the series and in the movie the scenery is well worked. 👌😀
Remember when Cartoon Network had a show about glorified exterminators? Dragon Hunters is one of my favorite series and I just rewatched the movie so here’s some sketches I did for fun
Going to write the reboot I swear, and then find someone crazy enough to fund it
