I thought this would be a fun idea until I realized three of the movies take place in 2000-2001 but luckily the cartoons coming out at the time were diverse enough for me to draw from. Also I locked tf in and drew all of these (minus Stefani) last night. Anyway I'm gonna explain some of my thoughts and inspirations for each of the characters :)))
Iris- I love this drawing so much, she's so cute!! I looked at The Archie Show, The Adventures of Batman and Robin, and The Scooby Doo Show. I also love the colors in this, I did the CMY palette thing where I layered the colors and changed the opacities of the layers... it was very fun :)
Alex- I looked at Invader Zim (obviously) and a show called Jacob Two Two which I had never heard of before. I liked how the hair was drawn though so I wanted to emulate that.
Kimberly- I referenced Sabrina's Secret Life and Braceface for most of the drawing and looked at Teen Titans for the shading. I forgot the show only shaded the skin for the most part, that's interesting. I should draw Kimberly again.
Wendy- Ruby Gloom, Scooby Doo Get a Clue, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends were the inspirations for this one. It was honestly kinda easy for me to do this one because it's really similar to how I drew everything a couple years ago.
Nick- Also really easy for me, it was also really similar to my art style a couple years ago. I looked at Regular Show, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and Chowder for this one. I went off a couple years for this one but whoooo cares like oh my god whoooo caressssssss. I imagine the watercolor texture on his hair and pants stay still like the shirts in Chowder.
Sam- I like this drawing but I think I kinda failed the challenge. I looked at Aqua Teen Hunger Force and As Told by Ginger. I think it'd be more recognizable if I emulated Clone High or Total Drama because it's more unified but for some reason I wasn't performing at my mental peak at 4 in the morning....
Stefani- I looked at Invincible, Xmen 97, and Vox Machina for this one. I don't have a lot of feelings on this as a drawing I just didn't wanna reference the Family Guy art style. Never get your dick pierced.
