aghh I don’t think I’ll ever finish this because I’m not a huge fan of how it’s turning out (super unfinished, & super messy still :’) ) BUT i wanted to draw something with the idea that Sophia has been the only constant through Dorothy’s entire life. The thought has been living in my head for a while.
Keith and Kosmo, for a patreon prompt! I’ve spent so much time (and $$$ 😭) at the vet over the last few months thanks to Ronnie - from his emergency surgery and recovery to sprained dew claws, skin troubles and scraped knees - so it only felt right to draw them like this!
“The New Scooby-Doo Movies” episode “The Haunted Showboat” marked the final animated appearance of Josie and the Pussycats to date. When “Laff-A-Lympics” was being developed, Alexander, Melody, Alexandra, and Sebastian were intended to appear as members of the Scooby Doobies team. Unfortunately, legal troubles between Archie Comics and Hanna-Barbera prevented their inclusion in the final TV program.
As you can probably tell I'm no artist, but I had fun drawing them!
Their full names are Dolly Dozy Dog, Professor Poppy Peppy Pussycat, and Bonny Brawny Bunny.
I wanted them to represent different eras of animation; so Dolly's influenced by the Inkblot Cartoon style/Rubber Hose style, Poppy is influenced by Chuck Jones' art style, and Bonny is influenced by 60's anime (Astro Boy is particular). Despite being drawn in different art styles, they're not meant to be in different worlds, they're a team!
