Love drawing these characters. A trademark I developed overtime is the enhancing on the design of the characters, exaggerating certain outfits or physical appearance of them to emphasize on their personality. Some say these characters are rather strange-looking, and I can't argue with that, I like strangeness, ha-ha!!!
The female characters were the ones I had most fun designing. I always have some source of inspiration from people i know or from my love of vintage aesthetics that some of the characters' designs. For example, the redhead cat's hair was an exaggeration of hairstyles by that of Agnes Moorehead, Sandra Gould and Tina Louise. The small yellow dog was partially modeled after Julia Dreyfus. The redhead rabbit is loosely based on the bouffant hairstyle of the 1960s and a lesser known actress named Bonnie Scott. And finally, the female bear was drawn similar to another 60s icon actress, Marlo Thomas, complete with the hairstyle and the dress.
Another thing I did was giving the cat characters multiple different eye colors, not only yellow, like with Questo, but orange, green, blue, red, purple and pink, something you don't see in other mainstream cartoons.
Some have names, most of them don't.
One of them who have been named was the redhead rabbit named Millie (a nod to an old movie i watched), and the pig named Arnold Pink, a little nod (another affectionate reference to Arnold Ziffel).
