Description
One of my redesigns from a little remembered Hanna-Barbara cartoon called Gravedale High. Whilst the original was set in a high school for monsters, I chose to update it and move it to a college/university setting.In the original show, Cleo was pretty much a nice character with a fan girl obsession for the T.V actor Billy Headstone. Whilst she was one of the more friendly characters, she was basically a fat joke with her full name being Cleofatra. My version shows that it is only a mean nickname.
Cleo, next to my version of Duzer is probably the design I changed the most. I wanted her mummy wrap to feature a bit more in her design, I also wanted to show she was proud of her Egyptian heritage but tried to keep the look a little more modern with the dress length and heels. I didn't want to make my Cleo just a fat joke, I wanted to make her a positive, sweet character who just happens to be curvy.

I always thought this cartoon looked interesting, but I haven't been able to check it out yet.
But. I think she's really cute in your design. I've seen the original character designs of most of these characters, since I went to the wiki to "research" it, and I think you've stayed true to the originals while making positive changes.
Like making Cleo a kind, positive character who is also a bigger girl.

It was very much a cartoon of 1990 and probably has aged that we'll but it's slightly spooky nature really appealed to the younger me, there really wernt any shows like it at the time
So happy you appreciate the redesign.

Also that dress design is to die for. It's the kind of thing I'd love to dress one of my fantasy characters in.

I don't really remember the show, but I really like your drawing! I think she looks really cute and you did a lovely job on her outfit and the coloring! The background looks really nice as well!

I used to watch Gravedale High every Saturday morning. My favorite characters on that show were Gill, Vinnie, Sid, and Mr. Schneider...but I like your version of Cleo better.

Thanks dude Cleo was the one I was most looking forward to doing as I knew i was gonna drasticly change her looks. Sid on the otherhand worried me the most as I wasn't sure how I would tackle someone with no real features, but in the end he turned out to be one of my faves

She is strangely cute for a girl you can't see! Love the ringlet, nice touch.
