Working on a big commission, 60+ characters, with a bunch of alternate designs for official characters. Really fun to revisit the Sonic universe in new ways. This is probably my favorite drawing of the enormous cast so far.

80's 合作アニメ『リトルズ (The Littles)』の "ルーシー"を描きました。このTV シリーズで演出をしていました。日本では放送しなかった作品なので知ってる方は少ないかな。妖精のような小人たちと人間の子供ヘンリーのお話。

合作アニメ『ガジェット警部 (INSPECTOR GADGET)』のペニーを描いたら懐かしくなって"ガジェット警部"を描きました。日本では昔放送しただけでしたが、実は外国では実写映画化したりCGアニメシリーズ化したりの人気作品なんですね。

@Cyote_Wolf Hey thanks! This is great to hear! I'm constantly trying to find the way they look best in my mind and always going back to the beginning.

Got into a Ninja Turtles kick a little while ago and drew these for fun. Experimenting with how to incorporate colors on the arms and legs. I did thumbnails for Leonardo and Donatello but got distracted from finishing them haha

Slowly but surely adding my cover prints to my shop! etsy.com/shop/BenBatesA… Originally Geoffrey's eyes were yellow (I wanted a way to show he'd switched over to a villain) and I thought about using it for the print but settled on what readers would have actually seen.

@KnightyOne1 Are you referring to the line art from the original? Or the line art for the recreation? The recreation would be easy enough but the line art for the original no longer exists. That's part of the trouble.

@KnightyOne1 Whoa, thats super cool! Never saw this! I imagine they probably would have sent me a complimentary copy but I asked them to stop pretty early in my career cause they sent me everything the company put out each month (which was nice but its too much!). And yeah, I colored it

@KnightyOne1 Yeah, after looking into it that's what I'd have to do. And then I couldn't recreate it exactly the way it was. Then it makes me wonder if that's really what anyone wants. What do you think? 230 recreated?
