#retrotopia

Story behind the pic: I found one of my old Retrotopia-sketches as I cleaned out my computer, and I decided to finish it with a more updated look. Rather than modeling it after the earlier ones, which took inspiration from old black and white cartoons, this one is more based on the titlecards of animated shorts from the 40s and 50s. While I can’t say I copied the style flawlessly, I am happy with the more expressive, retro redesigns of Nick and Judy.

“Such Spectacles” 2018. In this episode of Retrotopia, Judy cracks down on Nick’s latest scheme: making spectacles out of glassbottles! Unfortunately he faces the most dangerous customer ever: Bogo, the tough as nails chief of police!

Traditionally drawn and colored in Photoshop. I’m planning to do the last five installments of Retrotopia in color ^^

“Honey-Penny” 2018. In this episode of Retrotopia, Dr. Honey Von Hufflepuff has fed her mad, scientific curiosity with amusing results! By switching the brains of our favorite conman fox and copper bunny, the two will truly know what it’s like to walk in each other’s shoes... Despite either of them actually wearing any shoes! And yes, Honey here is based on Dr. Strangelove. 

“Boxing Day” 2018. My latest addition to my Retrotopia series. This time starring, besides our favorite bunny cop, none other than McHorn, who here is sort of a reference to boxing champion Max Schmeling.
