TALESPIN LOVE

brendalaNow I'm targeting my crazy doodle pen at the Talespin cast! And I'm humanizing them because I'm still kinda crappy at drawing animals/anthros
I think it came out pretty good considering I didn't use reference pictures (I did this at work)
Yeah, I had no choice but to change up Rebecca's hair. But the Betty Paige bangs still kinda work for her. And, hard as I tried, I couldn't keep human-Wildcat from coming out looking like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. LOL
Oh, and Becky/Baloo was one of my first OTPs. Anyone who watched the show knows why.
And I did another design page later on because I had different ideas regarding Baloo and Shere Khan:
--
I thought that, since Baloo and Shere Khan retained their Indian names from the Jungle Book, that it would be interesting to humanize them to look Indian. Though, once I got home, I felt kinda dumb for forgetting that Shere Khan is supposed to be HUGE and intimidating physically (my drawings make him look totally skinny :P)
Making Don Karnage look like Desi Arnaz is a no-brainer because I once read an interview with Jim Cummings where he says that Arnaz was a BIG inspiration when coming up with that voice.
Sly Cooper/Talespin cross over
This was totally inevitable!

earthstar_moon inspired this one with some nifty ideas she threw at me.
I did this at work, so I didn't have any reference pics handy (which is why Kit looks terrible LOL). And I tried to give the Sly characters outfits that would fit in better with Talespin's 1930s setting. So I used Sly's bomber jacket from Sly 3 and gave Carmelita a more conservative outfit and hairstyle.
I had Kit act antagonistic toward Sly because, given his history with Don Karnage and how messed up he was before he met Baloo, I think it makes sense. And the idea of Molly fangirling all over Carmelita is just too cute for words!
Random Sly re-designs for the Talespin universe
These are my ideas for adapting Sly and his pals into the Talespin universe....
--Since Penelope would likely have to pose as a man in order to work as a pilot without being harassed (yes, sexism against female pilots was a thing in the Talespin series), I decided she should have short hair. And I can see her opting to indulge in very feminine clothes when she's not flying a plane or doing mechanical work.
Also, I'd use the male alias instead of The Black Baron disguise because her biggest obstacle in the Talespin universe would be her gender, not her age.
--Since Talespin is a world dominated by air travel, Penelope would be a more integral member of the team (and she'd be recruited to the team much sooner). And I see her having to cross-dress a LOT more often because of the previously mentioned sexism against female pilots.
And perhaps the main reason she joins Sly's Team is because they don't care that she's a woman and joining them allows her to work as a pilot without having to live a lie 24/7 and constantly worry about being "outed"
--All I did to Carmelita was zip up her jacket and put up her hair. Because why mess with perfection?
--I wanted to give Neyla an outfit that was more conservative/traditional (since Talespin basically takes place in the 1930s) but also would allow her to jump around rooftops and whatnot.

Date: 2013-08-19 03:40 pm (UTC)Thanks! That means a lot coming from you. :)
I could have sworn Talespin got a French-Canadian dub (I remember hearing that some Canadian fans got angry because the North American DVDs had the France dub instead of the Quebeçois one). But maybe they were just mad because the France dub sucked. LOL
Anyhoo, in case you're wondering, this is what the characters originally looked like (Rebecca's impossible to draw hair is on the bottom)....
Reasons..
