This is the end result of my various concept sketches on Tumblr. I was trying to come up with character designs for a theoretical 80's cartoon based on the Fazbear characters. Why the 80's? Well in universe it would make sense that the best time for the company to finance an animated series would be at the height of it's financial success or revival. Which was the 80's FNAF 2 era. An animated series would be seen as a companion/draw to the restaurant. The 80's were rife with animation tie ins for everything, as well as toons that were essentially half hour long commercials for products or places. But most importantly, FNAF 2 has the Mangle, therefor making it the best by default.

So Fazbear Jr. N' Friends follows the toy characters, the relatives of the original characters as they travel thier home town and solve mysteries because of course they would. Freddy Jr. is the Leader of the group. Unlike Fred Senior, he's not very strong, and definitely not as brave, and it's usually up to Bon to keep him cool. "Beanpole" Bon, much taller than his cousin, but quicker to annoyance especially by Fred's fears or Chica's enthusiasm. Also plays a sweet Keytar which may or may not shoot lasers (although Fred's never seen him do it). Chica, the Bubbly and excitable sister of the original, who shares her passion for all things cooking and loves an excuse to throw a party. And finally the relatively quiet and reserved Miss Foxy, niece of the famous Foxy the pirate. She likes to read and tell stories, and has quite a bit of trouble trying to live up to her families pirate standards. Unfortunately she has Mango, the curmudgeonly parrot to constantly remind her how bad a pirate she is, as well as be rude, crass, and argue with the rest of the crew.

If you head down to my Tumblr you can see the evolution of the designs, including a strictly Hannah Barbara style sketch of the cast. (Honestly I was trying to find a happy middle ground between my own style, and the prevalant Hannah Barbera style of the 80's.) As well as different colors of this desktop background. Hope you like it.
