I finished watching what’s available of the 4Kids English dub of Tokyo Mew Mew (which they changed to “Mew Mew Power”) recently and I LOVED IT to pieces.

I felt that form of nostalgia for something I never experienced, the feeling being transported back to watching Saturday morning cartoons, and I could TELL how formative it must have been to other kiddos who watched it as it was airing. The sort of thing that inspires kids to make up their own magical animal-based forms and twirling around during recess to act it out. Or inspiring kids to wish they were a cat?? I’m telling you, watching that dub made my mind teleport back to that time. 🛝

I also experimented a bit with this art style, trying to invoke how Sanrio depicts human characters when they collab with an anime franchise (example here). That’s where the reeeeaaally wide-set eyes are coming from haha. o______o (← she looks like this to me)

Maybe I’ll check out the more recent Tokyo Mew Mew New sometime, but I actually have what’s remaining of the original run to watch with subs, first. Man, 4kids really cut off right before things went off the rails, with Ichigo transforming into an actual cat and being able to talk to cats. 😸 I love every minute I get to sit down with this show lol.

If you like this art work, it’s available on keychains, stickers, t-shirts and more on ACGGoods and Redbubble!

“A mission together at last~” This Krystal turned out the cutest in my whole series of these little Star Fox chibis, I think. 🥺 She is VERY smol and her eyes are SO big and bright.

I’m still adding more items but please give a look to what I’ve uploaded so far on my new shop~ These Star Fox pieces look great with the starry rainbow holo or silvery mirror finishes that I could put on some of the pins and trading cards and things!

“Hey, Einstein, I’m on your side!” ✈️ The second in my hypothetical “What if Star Fox and Sanrio had a collab? 🤔” series. The background image is a real photo of the Eagle Nebula from the public domain.

I really love his big, bright, sparkling eyes in this one. ✨

“We’re Star Fox!!” ✈️ The first entry in my hypothetical “What if there was a Star Fox & Sanrio collab?” series.

The background image is a real photo of the Eagle Nebula from the public domain! (Most NASA pics are btw!) It matches Fox’s colors pretty well, I thought.

Have you been following my art work, either on Tumblr or Deviantart? :3  Occasionally I have enjoyed drawing using the Wii U app Art Academy: Sketchpad, which has really cool pastel brushes in particular!!

While I was working on this for the Majora’s Mask drawing contest being held on Miiverse, I thought it would be cool to post my step-by-step drawing process when I’m working with Sketchpad, because I’ve never done anything like that before~

Here are my posts on the subject, or you can go to the Miiverse post to read them more easily or zoom in on the pics, and so forth~
