Description
A year ago I sketched up some concepts for a high-school aged version of the JN gang: That should have been the end of it, but then Keith Alcorn (the co-creator of Jimmy Neutron, and my buddy on facebook) requested a teen version of Bolbi...and this happened. High school redesigns of a whole bunch of the minor charactersAnd since I KNOW you want to waste your time reading imaginary bios:
Elke
Elke divides her time between Sweden and the U.S. During the school year, she attends her local gymnasieskola, but from June to August she works at a llama farm just outside Retroville and spends her free time hanging with Carl and his friends. Elke absolutely loves animals, especially llamas and alpacas, and she dreams of someday becoming a veterinarian. Her most prized possession is the yellow llama purse that Carl gave her during their sophomore summer - she's even been known to coordinate whole outfits around it. Elke looks forward to life after graduation, when she can move to America for college, and be closer to all the friends she's made during her visits
Betty
You know, Betty gets a bad rap from fans, and I don't think it's deserved. She doesn't seem like a malicious person, and it makes no sense that people consistently write her as a maneater/seducer/conniving witch. I picture her style as mature, feminine, and classy, maybe with a 50's Hollywood flair. Since Betty's a year older than the rest of the gang, she would've already graduated by the time they hit senior year. She's super gorgeous, and all the high school AND college boys want to date her - but she's one of those chicks who "found Jesus" in high school, so now she's against teen dating and premarital shenanigans, haha. She's an active member of the local church and spends a lot of time going door to door bringing people "the good news" - and she has a lot more success than the less-hot members of her mission
Bolbi
THE KINGPIN, BABY Bolbi is tubby, bug-eyed, and incredibly bizarre...but he's found acceptance and even adoration among the members of the drama club, who respect him for his acting talents and celebrate his weirdness as "avant garde". After high school, Bolbi plans to return to Backhairistan and take over the family goat-herding business. His fashion style can best be described as "used car salesman chic", with the occasional sweater vest to spice things up. There's a bit of a rumor floating around Retroville High that Bolbi miiiight be playing for the other team, but if so, he's not out of the closet yet.
Nick
Years later, Nick is still Retroville's resident bad boy. He's cool, he's sexy, and he knows it. Now that he has his driver's license, he's upgraded from skateboards to motorcycles, and he's been in and out of trouble for skipping class to go smoke cigarettes behind the bleachers. Nick has mad skills with the ladies, and he always has at least two hotties buzzing round him at any given moment...he's even been known to charm female teachers into overlooking his tardiness and unfinished homework. Because Nick is so concerned with appearances and is so adept at coasting through life on his looks, he doesn't have any real goals set for himself after high school. It remains to be seen whether he'll be able to get his act together and move past his narcissistic loafing.
Britney
Since her appearances in the original show were mostly be limited to back-up singing for Libby and Cindy, I've surmised that Britney is one of those chicks who always seems to play second fiddle to someone else. She's known throughout Retroville High for her belly shirts, valley-girl accent, and tendency to sprinkle gratuitous "likes" into her sentences. She's a member of the cheerleading team, but despite her best efforts, has never been able to make team captain. Britney is totally devoted to Nick, but of course he's too cool to date only one girl - hopefully she'll wise up and find someone who will treat her with a bit more respect. Britney likes music, reality TV, and sports, and she hopes (perhaps unrealistically) to one day cheer for a professional football team.
Hope you like!

Forgive me, but all I see in my head is this scenario playing out:
BETTY: Why, hello, Mr. Dean! *fanning self with a pamphlet* Haven't you heard the good news?
NICK: There's some pretty good news standin' right in front of me

omjesusssss!!!!
Bolbi and Nick! Epic win! :'D ubberly fantastic
what did mr. Keith said about Bolbi? did he like the redesign idea? I hope he did!
I can see this happening in a spin-off...
I like very much how gorgeous is Betty, her new style suits her perfect!
Not sure for Elke, I used to like her long hair, but in this way she looks sexier too
I guess I need to get used to this new style for her.
Britney looks nice too <3
Really good job Mara!

Yeah, I originally imagined Elke with long hair, but then ~twisted-vision drew a short-haired teen version of her, and I loved it! I tried to incorporate a small element of her old design by adding two small braids, though.
Keith hasn't seen the pic yet, but I will let you know what he says when he logs on!

Yessss, I carefully crafted the derp face
I tried to make Nick radiate that bad boy, 'player' hotness... I prefer nerdy boys myself, though
Oh yeah, Keith's really nice! If you have a facebook account, you should friend him. He's more than happy to talk to old fans of his shows.

Oh and I forgot to say I agree with Betty... She's so cute and sweet! I like her too! She's just not the one for Jimmy. I like your prediction of her turning into a Jesus-girl. hahahah Having grown up in a private school Christian setting as a kid, I think I know all too well what you're talking about.

I went to super-religious private schools when I was a kid, too. In 5th grade I attended a school called Trinity Baptist, where we girls had to wear dresses down to our ankles every day . There were only 9 kids in our class, and everything was super rule-oriented - it would have sucked if not for my awesome teacher, who encouraged my writing talents and occasionally let me read my stories out loud to the class after lunch
I'm not a Christian anymore, though - nothing turns people off from religion like oppressive religious schooling, haha.
I agree with you about Betty being sweet, but just not quite the right person for Jimmy - he's so scientific and logical, while Betty tends toward what I like to call "magical thinking". They don't have any interests in common, as far as I can tell, and Jimmy would probably grow bored with her company after the gawking-at-her-hotness phase wore off

Wow, that's really neat that your teacher did that!! It's really great to hear when a teacher nurtures and encourages a student's creativity. Man, so you were writing and telling stories all along. You're a story-teller to the bone. That sounds really special.
Dude I hear ya, I went to a baptist setting in preschool and those teachers were HORRENDOUS. I remember them screaming at us and getting in our faces all the time, and swearing in front of us in large groups. The Christian school I went to after that was actually very nurturing for the most part, and I had some of the kindest teachers which I became good friends with. I'm not a Christian anymore either because I didn't want to believe in any dogma (and I think a lot of the beliefs are completely bonkers), but I still like the spiritual lessons the Bible has to offer just as I like the I Ching or anything else. I just think all spiritual stuff points to same thing just presented in different ways.

Yeah, my Mom's always had this theory that different religions offer different "glimpses" into a bigger truth - mostly humanistic lessons like treating others as we'd like to be treated, trying to live an unselfish and productive life, etc. I have a sort of love/hate relationship with faith, mostly because I want there to be a higher purpose to human existence, but I also can't stand the attitudes of some believers It baffles me that religions like Christianity and Islam, which are supposed to encourage love and tolerance, so often produce people with hateful, discriminatory, and self-righteous attitudes. It's very sad

Hey, I'm a Christian and I'm SO not like that! I'm non-denominational, and I don't discriminate, either. I just have a pure heart for what is right, and don't believe in all those wacked-out rules that make no sense. I just believe that we should just get to be ourselves no matter what, without any of those nast rules. I am in NO way hateful, discriminatory, or self-righteous; I love people for who they are, no matter what they think or believe. I'm a very peace-loving person.
