Description
So I found an old piece of art from m' good friend 's gallery that had to do with a cartoon on Discovery Kids called 'Kenny the Shark'Curiosity struck me and I decided to look it up
And it is seriously one of the cutest cartoons I've seen :,P It's just a really fun and innocent show with these two awesome characters and some nifty shark facts thrown in the mix The plots of each episode aren't super high stakes, it's really easy going and filled with a lot of sweet moments ;v;
Frustrating thing NOW though is that finding all the episodes in english is pretty much a nightmare. The ones I've found and watched so far were uploaded from the only USA released DVD's of the show (and are in kinda poor quality), and then a few extra episodes that I found hiding on Dailymotion. All the other episodes have just kinda vanished into the aether :,P
Granted there is a youtube channel that has all 60-something 10 minute episodes uploaded, but they're all in Hebrew x,D I can still get the gist of the plots from the animation, but I'd really like to watch the rest of the episodes in english if I can. Especially since I really like Kenny's english voice actor. (Gotta look up what other shows the fella's worked on later)
ANYWAYS just as an excuse for something fun to work on I did a bunch of sketches with Kenny & Kat here, and then picked one to color up all nice and shiny~ I also really wanted an excuse to try out some water painting techniques from a few tutorials I checked out :>
I'll have the other sketches I did of them up in a sec
Many thanks also to Duodude for the brushes I used in making the backdrop. I used about 3-4 with my own random settings and I really liked the result. So you'll probably be seeing a lot of mileage out of them in my backdrops for the future, ya butt
Kenny & Kat (c) Discovery Kids

I remember it being cute. Made me want a tiger shark for a pet...even though that would not work.

Kenny the Shark! It was both entertaining and educational. But mostly entertaining for me. X3

Oh God, I actually remember this show! My parents used to tease me with it by calling me "Kenny the Shark" all the time (My first name is Kenny, btw)! Ah, the memories! xD

Huh.
I never really watched the show itself.Β But, I do remember somewhere back in 2004 or 2005 (Can't remember the exact year) when me and my mom were at Applebees they would give the kids (myself included) these activity packets. The ones they were giving out at the time were both This and Tutenstein themed. I was a huge fan of Tutenstein (given I've always been fascinated with ancient Egypt) but for some reason this show never interested me.
I managed to find this show on Dailymotion and I gotta say, I really dig these two already.
But wow this be some damn good fanart! Especially dat wahwah yo. Thanks for bringing back memories (even if it's not much lol).

Applebees was how I discovered Tutenstein in the first place. My favorite character is Luxor with Walter Jacobs as a close second. I hate Bedwetty, though.

Same here. Might have caught a glimpse of it beforehand but I don't remember. Luxor's among my faves too. Still love Tut himself the most though.

Piranhartist In reply to Alien-Death-Hammer [2014-08-13 19:56:20 +0000 UTC]
From what I researched, this and Tutenstein seemed to come out at the same time x,D So that's not surprising that you'd run into it while enjoying the other :P
And yeah Dailymotion had 5 "lost" episodes that weren't released on dvds, which is cool enough- but still stinks that over 40+ english episodes are apparently non-existant now >:I
But at this point I'm just glad I was able to see any xDDD
And thanks as always man!

My fingers are still crossed, it SEEMS like back in 2011 there was a youtube account that had all of them up, but it was terminated for other various copyright claims. So I'm hoping somewhere or another somebody will step up to the plate xP

Alien-Death-Hammer In reply to Piranhartist [2014-08-13 20:08:07 +0000 UTC]
Yeah. Since Youtube's a lot more serious about copyright than others.

Oh man this is absolutely adorable! I gotta find this cartoon too and bring my Israeli friend to translate for me if the Hebrew episodes are the only option xD That shark has to be one of the cutest animated things I've seen. The shading & expressions together in this one really emphasizes the playful feel while retaining an effect of a nostalgic memory caught forever in a timeless photograph. :> Needless to say, you captured the moment beautifully.

Piranhartist In reply to Soupgeist [2014-08-12 15:20:01 +0000 UTC]
If you do get them translations I'd be extremely happy if you passed them along >X,DDD Though for the most part the gist of the episode can be easily understood with just the visuals My main issue with seeing it in Hebrew is that I can't enjoy the initial english voice acting, which really grew on me after watching the first few episodes that I could snuff out.
The characters and show are just so light hearted and sweet that I really wanted to show that as much as I could ;v; Working on any piece of artwork that's bright and happy like this is what I love doing most since it's really relaxing to work on and look at afterwards
Thank you so very much dude~ :,D

Soupgeist In reply to Piranhartist [2014-08-13 02:48:15 +0000 UTC]
xD Well I guess writing a few of the more notable dialogue would be pretty good to see how the Hebrew versions stack up with the English script as well. I saw some of the episodes lately and I definitely did like the English voices. How can something so great like this be so obscure?! Thanks for pulling me in to this show otherwise I probably would never have found out about it. xD And yeah, it's nice to just look at something that just radiates pleasantness all around at the end of the day, which is why cartoons are some of my favorite types of things to watch, which is especially what I need when I'm having rough times like now. No problem!

Piranhartist In reply to Soupgeist [2014-08-13 14:57:40 +0000 UTC]
Yeah that's what I thought! It seems like the episodes ALL used to be up on english from the research I've done, but the account that had them uploaded had copyright strikes on other content of theirs and got taken down. I decided to get what I could of the show on DVD from amazon in case the rest disappear too, which ended up being fairly cheap. x,D 2 of the 3 discs were only a penny, and then the extra cost was from shipping. Sadly it's not the whole show (there's 60 10-minute long episodes or so in total, but the dvds together only have about 20) but it's better than nothing <3

Ahhhhhhh thank youuuu ;w; I had a LOT of fun with the water and lighting on this (as well as just coloring these two), and hopefully it won't be the last time I do something involving water. I wanna try doing something under the surface next with some different characters
And ALSO thanks

I SERIOUSLY regret not getting to see it when it was still airing- I'm still digging deeper and deeper into the pages of google to try and find more episodes but to no avail x,D

That'd be awesome if you find any more! ;v; Search results might end up being different for some people than others so it's worth a shot! I remember one time getting completely different results on a subject on my mom's computer vs my own xD So it's not totally impossible
