Snoopy and Hello Kitty

Description

Snoopy giving Hello Kitty flowers.

It seems like a simple concept, yet there's so much I thought about while doing this. They both have a lot in common, cartoon superstars popular all over the world, and licensed by Sanrio in Japan, starring in nearly every kind of media imaginable. They both love flights of fantasy from seemingly ordinary lives and are quite expressive. Yet they both have such different styles and worlds; Snoopy lives as a human's pet, while Hello Kitty is very anthropomorphic, with parents and a twin sister.

Philosophical musings aside, I guess it turned out okay, although I'm not 100% happy with it. I studied lots of pictures of the two of them before starting, I'm a perfectionist. The lineart was done by hand and it was the easy part, but the similarities end there. I had a much easier time doing Snoopy, which I colored with copics to give that watercolor look to go with Schultz's scratchy lineart style. By comparison, Hello Kitty was a lot more painstaking, trying to get the lines smooth before adding solid colors with photoshop, which I'm not that good at. Her dress is some origami paper that I had lying around and scanned in. The result was two worlds and styles that clash sharply with each other, yet still look like they're beginning to blur.
