Description
Temporarily moved to scraps so I can figure out what I want to do with this one...Reference:
First a riddle! "What has fur, feathers and is cute all over?"
Okay, not so much a riddle, but you go it anyway I'm sure...
Who is she? The Sphinx!
Where is she from? Jason and the Heroes of Mount Olympus!
The story? Okay, so picture about 5 years ago or so, I was stuck at home sick and all there was to watch was *ugh* daytime TV. Anyway, I flipped past this crazy cartoon which I at first thought was some Tiny Toons spinoff, but no it was some weird low budget cartoon about Greek myths, except I think all the gods were Warner Bros-esque animals (well, low-rent Warner Bros at least). Anyway I paused on this oddity for a moment as it was basically the beginning of the show and almost right away; Sphinx all in my face.
Well, I liked her right away, whoever designed her or at least whoever drew the keyframes gave her some great extreme poses and expressions. She didn't just sit flatly on the screen like the rest of the main characters, she got around seemed fun.
I don't really remember much of the plot (it's been 5 years), but basically Jason (?) is gonna have a picnic with his furry, godlike friends (Hermes and Venus *I think*), for some reason he has to go visit the Sphinx to avoid some bad juju from the villain (guess, c'mon I dare you guess who the villain was on a budget cartoon about Greek gods), anyway she was all PMSing because a dragon man had stood her up on a date, and just as she's about to eat the l'il heroes they do something that makes her laugh. She spares them because she hasn't laughed in ages and they agree to help find her lizard love and get 'em all back on together. The rest of the plot you can connect the dots with here (again, very basic stuff).
I really had to dig for this one, I will be shocked if anyone else can find references of this particular character but she really stuck in my mind after 5 years (I dunno, maybe it was the DayQuil?) so it was time to make some fan arts of her.
Cheers,
AT

Very nice art of the Sphynx from this horrible, horrible show. (Sorry, I just watched an episode and...gah, I've never seen anything so half-assed! D: ) She's really the only thing I've seen from it thus far that wasn't painful to watch and I like your take on her.

Yes, it's AWFUL all the worst animation has to offer crammed into one cartoon haha.
I just wish I'd done a better job, the sketch looks so good...

Razzek In reply to AtomicTiki [2011-04-13 02:07:00 +0000 UTC]
Yes! ;_; Which is a shame, because the few character designs that aren't absolutely horrendous are really good. I swear I thought I was watching something from the early 90s, the quality is so bad, but it appears to have come out around 2001. D:
I think it looks great. The colors, pose, and expression are all vibrant and definitely improve upon the shoddy character design from the show.

That's for sure, like I say in my comments I only saw the show once while I was sick and I immediately liked elements of the Sphinx here and I was also surprised to see when and where the animation was done (haha).
Thank you very much, one of these days I'll draw her again, check out the sketch though, I think it's way better

There's a ton of other episodes up as well. Just curious: Do you speak English or Russian?

Very awesome job you did.
She wants to shake her booty for you. I would love to see that happen.

Thank you very much, one of these days I'll go back and do a better job, especially getting the sense of scale correct, she's supposed to be like 10 feet tall or something haha
I dunno if you'd want her shakin' her thang, it could have disastrous consequences haha

Well thanks! She's so obscure, it took me ages to find anything about her, the cartoon was only run once and I just happened to see it.

:3 I think she was voiced by Jennifer Hale too, which made her much sexier.

are you telling me you did this from memory?
holy crap you got everything the eyeshade the arm rings the little hair ring sideburns
the wing color the foofy tail
your feet paws are a tad cuter though
and you toned down the head size cause the whole show everybody had huge toon (almost sonic the hedgehogverse) scale heads

Ooh no, I had a few small fuzzy reference pictures to work from. Picking colours was the hardest bit.
I had to make an educated guess on the tail and so I'm really glad that I got it right
Thanks!
