Saved the best for... second to last. At least, best in my own opinion... which I seem to be largely alone in...
BUT anyway! Bravo's color scheme actually gave me some trouble. I found a particular shade of red I was really happy with for his fur, and wanted to stay mostly true to his old outfit (because I'm biased), but the pink lining of his jacket just didn't sit right with me. I know it's not impossible to make pink and red look nice together, but something about having a warm red-adjacent-but-distinctly-not-red color touching the bright red I'd chosen just wasn't working for me. So I tried accenting the teal jacket with a lighter teal and, after much deliberation, caved and went with the look I liked better. Also, gold lining, because he deserves it.
I still could've maybe emphasized his belly a bit more, since it's a plot-point of the "healthy eating" episode. Other than that, I'm very happy with how this design came out.

I'm not terribly familiar with Zoobilee Zoo (heck, this is probably the first time I've really looked it up) but from my understanding, it's probably like the Wee Sing movies, at least with the whole actors as animals thing and it being aimed towards children.
Definitely really loving your take on this character!

Yeah, it's a little bit like Wee Sing in that sense, although I'd personally compare it more to something like Adventures in Wonderland (a show that played on Playhouse Disney and saw sort of a resurgence in popularity online just a few years ago). I have an odd fondness for these sorts of kid's shows with fantastical characters played by live actors in makeup and/or prosthetics that many other people find "uncanny" (i.e. Wee Sing, ZZ, AiW, The Toy Castle, The Big Comfy Couch, etc.) and I can't quite explain why.
But as for Zoobilee Zoo, it tends to get a bad rep because of the facial prosthetics, but the actors all express nothing but love for the old show and regularly interact with fans who grew up on it, even looking to possibly get it revived in animated form. The latter is most likely not gonna happen, given ownership and copyright issues with Hallmark, but I thought it'd make for a fun What-If project.
Sorry for rambling xD

I've never really seen Adventures in Wonderland myself and the Wee Sing series was the closest I could associate it with since it's something I actually saw during my childhood. Regardless, I understand you with that interest.
I wasn't aware about the actors all interacting with the fans, but that's actually pretty heartwarming. Sucks that it won't likely be officially revived due to copyright problems, but I'm still relieved to see that the people behind it are still very much kind about it.
Also, you're okay! It really shows you're passionate about the whole topic.
