A quick update with a piece of art from this year! WHOOO! Okay, this is Jenny the Cat from the cartoon Bucky O'Hare. This has to be one of my all time favorite characters of any cartoon.

I joined the and since they ask for fanart, I thought I should try some and this isn't bad for a first try. Yes, she is a child in this when she was an adult in the cartoon but not alot is said about Jenny and her past in the cartoon.

Everyone knows she has magic as do all the females of her race but no one knows exactly where jenny comes from. She's connected to the Royal Family, either through family connections or her own loyal service and hard work, and she's a powerful warrior in her own right. Beyond that, nothing.

When I bought the DVD collection of the seiries it had notes on the characters as part of the extras. These notes explained that Jenny lost her parents at a young age but there is more to this than she knows.

Fans have speculated on this ever since but I wanted to draw something connected to this.
So I thought I'd try to create the moment Jenny was told that her parents weren't comming home again. When she first had to come to terms with things like death and parting with those you care about.

I thought the best symbol of this would be what her people call a memory stone. It displays pictures for the holder of those dear to them. Black is the colour of missing someone to many people. Combine the two and you have the black memory stone. Hence the title.

I'm really pleased with how this came out. It was annoying at first because I'm so used to adding shadow, highlights and other touches so I kept trying to add them. But in the end I think I got the 80s colouring style pretty close. (The highlights in the hair were to shut up the artist in me saying it didn't look right. Humour me.) The flower was the hardest part because when it came to inking it in I decided to change the design COMPLETELY.

But overal I really like this and I'm very happy with it.

Bucky O Hare is not mine and belongs to the lucky guys who came up with it.
Image is mine so no sticky fingers please.
