I’m experimenting with how the characters would look if they were older (and no longer pastel easter-egg colors). When I designed them initially, I was heavily influenced by Hello Kitty/superflat, ultra-cute style. Now I’d like to explore a change.
What do you think?
amazing… this has so much more realism and depth of frame.
which gets me thinking… what will Bunnista look like now?????
If you start going with a more realistic style, what does this mean for Bunnista?
I think the “ultra-cute” style works really well as a counterpoint to the very serious message. It just wouldn’t have the same impact without that dissonance. I support keeping the current design.
I love these older versions:) Keep up the amazing work!

I was thinking about leaving Bunnista pretty stylized, but make him more brownish, like on the Earth Day card I made. Maybe adding a rabbit nose and whiskers. And possibly bigger feet. He’ll still be the main character blowing up things. Also, Victoria the guinea pig will be more regularly involved.
I’m agonizing over whether or not I should make this change. There are reasons for doing it, other reasons not to… I just don’t know!
I think you should try out a trial story line of the characters older. Heck, it’s like reverse Muppet Babies!
Reverse Muppet Babies — ha! Exactly!
Nice. I’d like to see more definition to Bunnyista. Maybe if he rolled his sleeves up he’d have a gnarly tattoo. -and Biceps.
I didn’t even recognize them…! I support a trial run but agree the contrast works really well…. (reverse Muppet Babies? I did see that ahah, but anyway I call this phenomenon Rugrats ‘All-Growed Up’ syndrome, but I’m only a 20 year old, aha…) …no whiskers on Bunnista >3 but colour change and nose work, ahha…
