Description I was thinking the other day about how the drawings for Archie Comics (the regular cartoony ones, not the new "dynamic look" versions) has gradually been decreasing in quality over the years, so I thought I'd come up with my own style for them that looks, what I think, better than what they're doing now, but still feels like the same characters.

I think I was going for a specific look at first, but forgot what it was partway though. Plus, I wanted them to look more their age than they do in the regular comics as well.

I don't know if I'm entirely happy with it, so I might redo some of them. Suggestions and criticism are welcome, as long as you're polite about it.

Archie: The main protagonist. Kind of nerdy, but charismatic all the same. All in all, a classic iconic character. 

Jughead: Archie's closest friend who has his share of issues, but is really not such a bad guy when you get to know him. And he's kind of like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Mainly because he loves to eat.

Betty: One of Archie's obsessive girlfriends. Locked in an eternal rivalry with Veronica over winning Archie's affections. 

Veronica: Another one of Archie's girlfriends who's head over heels in love with him, but often clashes with Betty as they are rivals. 

Reggie: A neutral character who crosses paths with Archie as both friend and rival. And he's kind of a selfish scheming prick.

Nice and simple! And works just as well today as it did decades ago.

Agreed. Though its hard to believe Archie has been around since the 40s. He's older than Scooby Doo.

I love how the girls have no noses, and the guys have big honking hooters.

Reggie and Jughead look great. I don't think Veronica looks crosseyed; it's just the style she's drawn in.

They look great! I would love to see more!

And, I agree with Gwhitmore.. Ronnie does look a little cross-eyed. Also, there seems to be ( to me ) an "extra line" under her lip that kinda throws me off. Just an observation.

Looks great, I could easily see this style used for the comics. My only criticism is that Veronica looks cross eyed.

Keep up the good work.
