(FULL-VIEW, PLEASE!)Actually, SaturdaySunday mornings would be a more accurate title. But never mind.A tribute to a selection of my childhood heroes. Not all of them were of equal status in my mind, some have left a bigger impact than others, but I tried to cram in as many shows as possible.I intentionally concentrated only on TV shows here, not animated movies. In the case of Disney, I ignored all the TV shows based on their movies likeor, as the pic was getting too full already. I also left out classic Warner Bros. and Disney shorts because really, that's like a million characters right there. Just so you know I'm not dissing the classics here.From left to right, starting from the top: Kit Cloudkicker (), a Care Bear offame (I could never bother to remember their names), Bonkers D. Bobcat (), Willie and Maya (),and lieutenant Psi and captain Peter (*).Lower row, left ro right:and her furry little hair-parasites, Michaelangelo (my favorite of the), Mr. and Mrs., the, some chick from(never learned their names either, except for the evil one), the elephant king, an Ewok (- yes, there was an animated series and no, I never cared to memorize their names either), Willy Fog and princess Romy (**), Candy and her pet raccoon (***),andLower row, left to right: Babs and Buster Bunny (), Max (), Dewey, Huey, Louie and Scrooge McDuck (- woo-o!), under them are, doing their usual cat-and-mouse routine, and a random****), next to them there's Alice and her bunny, Benny (), Dogtanian (*****), the two scheming lab mice, that daring duck of mystery,, Charlie Brown and Snoopy from (duh)******,, and little Miss Piggy from, about to have her little letter block tower carelessly knocked over by Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden fromLower row, left to right: a snork from(again: names, don't remember, don't care, yadda yadda),the panda playing with Jacky and Jill from(I'm pretty sure that was her name in English), Brainy Smurf from(he wasn't my favorite or anything, just easily recognisable), Nils Holgersson with his pet hamster (),, two killer tomatoes on the attack (),the cat, and finallySadly, I can still think of a bunch I left out. That's how much of a life I had as a child.There's a few left out simply because there was no more room (andare some that come to mind). Some I left out on purpose because while I watched them, I didn't actually like them very much (). In case you're wondering why such classics asandare missing, it's because most of those were only available on cable channels when I was growing up and we didn't have cable. If I had the chance, I would have watched those too, you can bet on it, so perhaps it's for the best that I couldn't.Anything else came after what I consider the end of my childhood, so don't even ask me about the likes ofunless your goal is to make me feel old.References used:(no direct tracing, though). Most of these characters I've never even attempted to draw before, some of them I have but ages ago, so I definitely needed some practice.Footnotes:* I loved all theseries, but since there's like five of them in total I figured referencing just one here was enough. The "Life" one was always my favorite, anyway.** I blame this show for sowing the seed of interest in the Victorian era so early in my youth.*** Which taught me the art of climbing trees.**** Did the ponies even have names? Did anyone care? I'm pretty sure we all just called them things like "the pink one", "the one with the cherry pattern" or "the one with wings". Or, in case of toys, "the one that changes color underwater".***** This show got me totally excited about sword-fighting for a while. I even bought a plastic, glow-in-the-dark sword when all I normally cared about were ponies and Barbies. Our love affair was brief but passionate.****** I would like to take this moment to thank the late, great Charles E. Schulz for my first true obsession,. I almost got a little emotional while drawing Charlie Brown and Snoopy, because I hadn't drawn them since I was about 9. They pretty much defined my childhood and it's kind of amazing I haven't done any kind of tribute to them up 'till now.Wow, a DD! Thank you so much, everyone. It brings me joy to hear this has brought back some good memories to so many people.
