Lets face it the cartoons of today aren’t as funny or cartoony as they were from the 30s to the late 90s.
So I thought about making a cartoon character that was sort of my reminiscent to the cartoons I seen as a kid up to 1999 before cartoons of today took a nose dive. There are some exceptions.
Anyways;
This was a character I have as a side note for in case if I want to start on a black and white cartoon or something.
This near inkblot character was the result of me watching so many 30s cartoons. The only part of him that is in color is his nose.
So Edge is a toon roo who is zany and a master of cartoon violence he is pursued by a dingo name Fangs (but I’ll get to him when he is designed.) By he always manages to out wit the dingo.
Edge carries a pouch with him to carry many things.

Cartoons today have TOO much attitude I think. The artists who do them try to push their 'coolness' far too hard.
Gotta be hip, gotta be cool, gotta be suave. Whatever the trait is, they push it well beyond the extremes.
The older ones, not so much. The attitude just happened, it wasn't really forced onto the character. The attitude
was born from the character, not the other way around. :D
Edge shares with my Jack the pouch thing (well, males have to corry their things SOMEWHERE!) but Jackie chose to strap his to a thigh. I guess these two could be good friends. I love the style and design, and fully afree. cartoons those days were uproaringly zany. I can't wait to see Fangs (or both together) in action.
Your style is really delicious to watch!
