Description
I used to do a lot more cartoony stuff than I do now, and yesterday, I wanted to see if I could still do it, so I tried my hand at these two characters from one of my favorite movies.This was a lot harder than it probably looks. Everyone who knows anything knows cartoony stuff is a lot more difficult to draw than most people think, and I was faced with the added problem that I these aren't my own characters, so you automatically fall into the style of the reference material you're working from. I still think Jessica's too close to the original piece I used as reference, but I guess the overall image is original what with Roger dressed up as a hardboiled detective and the brownish color scheme and all.
The final version is the one in the middle, I decided to include the linework and the unaltered basic version. Yeah, I really colored the whole thing straight before I fiddled with the colors to give it that film noir feel, although I'd planned to do that all along... it was actually easier to do it that way.
So yeah, this is pretty different from my usual stuff... let me know what you think. I love these characters, and I hope I did them justice.

Jessica is my favourite female cartoon character! It's good that you have been loyal to her original shapes.

Thanks!
For some reason it just occurred to me that it's weird they never made a sequel... Jessica at least seems to still be pretty popular.

Your style matches the show's very well. It's drawn very well and the line is clear. Only thing I'd change is Jessica's hand. It looks weird. Add some knuckles or something to make it look more like a hand. Other than that, it's wonderful.

Yeah, I kinda cheated on that hand... I thought I could get away with it, but honestly, I'm not happy with how it looks for the exact same reason.
Thanks for your comments!

looks really great! I like the sequinny glitter and stuff....
One little problem seems to be Jessica's knee. It looks a little...ermmm...kinda like she's been laying on the brownies? @__@ *trying to think of a nicer way to say that...* uhh....women's knees are hard to draw, aren't they? @__@;;;

They're especially hard to draw when you've got basically one line to get them right... *sigh*
I see what you mean there... I was paying more attention to the, um, curves, I guess, heh.

heh...no worries. Knees are no fun to draw anyway. And nobody pays attention to them. (except for me, though, whaaah.)

Yeah, well... I think knees are one of these things in anatomy that nobody really pays attention to, but it makes a huge difference if you can get them right, even if people don't really notice they're there. Know what I mean? The whole character looks more believable, but you can't really tell why.
Do I sound like an art teacher yet? Heh.
