Description
Some years back, I took A Friend In Need, which to many is the most iconic of Cassius Coolidge's famous series of paintings depicting dogs playing poker, and I digitally-painted out the dogs, as well as the cards and everything else on the table, intending to substitute other characters or creatures for them. This image of an empty stateroom still resides in my computer.
Since then, I've used it three times...the first a poker game among a septet of robots, the second themed to Disney's Haunted Mansion, the third an oddly-darkened version depicting an attempt to use a Ouija board to contact the presumably dead dogs; all three are currently in my gallery.

I remembered my original intent was to create a strip-poker game among the Disney princesses, but I dropped the idea upon discovering that DeviantArt considers such depictions of Ariel, Snow White and a few others a violation of their underage nudity policy...I've had several such pieces deleted from here...so I found inspiration in another piece I did featuring nudes of four of the women depicted here that I've never been happy with...and have since deleted.

Starting on the far left, and going around the table clockwise...Rosemary the Telephone Operator from the animated TV series Hong Kong Phooey, Heather from Total Drama Island, Suzi-X from the movie The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto, Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Brothers, Birdgirl from Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law, Alexandra from Josie & The Pussycats and Hello Nurse from the original Animaniacs series...I understand she wasn't in the recent reboot.
