I'm posting these as we
talked about them on the Scooby Addicts podcast I did a week ago. Years
ago, I was invite to participate in The Hanna-Barbera Gallery Project
that WB Consumer Products did. At the time, Disney was doing baby
versions of their characters (a popular trend most places tried with their characters) and so I
said why not do that with my two favorite characters... Hence, Baby Yogi
and Baby Scooby were created (at least, my version of them)!
Drawn on cheap copy paper in pencil and then
scanned and colored in Photoshop. You emailed high-res PDFs for them to print out and hang on the walls there if they liked them. I was told that Baby Yogi was a major hit and went over extremely well when I inquired how my art was received a couple weeks later.
Looking back, it was nice to be invited to partake, but there was no pay for doing it, and it was why I did it on cheap paper and did the work fast. The purpose of it was to possibly inspire WB Consumer Products to use any art submitted as a launching pad to make possible future products. Regardless, they should have paid us something... Overall, I'm still quite proud of this work and how they turned out! So I got that going for me...
