do you have any particular inspirations for ur cartoony dream team?? i love it so much!!!

I love love love this question bc yes I doooo!!!

I would say first and foremost, my love for illustration and cartooning comes from Spongebob Squarepants and the works of Craig McCracken, creator of the Powerpuff Girls, and my second favorite cartoon ever, Kid Cosmic.

Spongebob's detailed close-ups are something I hold near and dear to my heart and to try to depict in several of my comics.

Getting into more specific inspirations for the Dream Team designs, I pull a lot of shape language and playfulness with design from The Beatles cartoon, Clarence, and the YouTube animator dopatwo. Overwatch is one of my special interests and even though he doesn't animate for the game anymore, his cartoons are still so fun to rewatch.

The Enemy Sigma cartoon is one I rewatch a LOT.

Lastly, I am very into caricature art and the art of meaningful exagerration. You can see in each design I choose specific features to playfully exaggerate and build shapely silhouettes. Even even it doesn't look exactly like them, their prominent features are recognizable and translate them well into cartoon form.

Dream is tall and broad, made up are soft angles and straight lines. For his head and upper body, I exaggerate his curly hair, jaw (shoutout to the big chin girlies, myself included), and shoulders, then the rest of his body tapers down into straight and thin silhouette. I take full advantage of his old "ice cream scoop" hair. What's an ice cream scoop without the cone? I also give him pretty weepy droopy gooey mwah mwah mwah eyes because he's sad and wet and pathetic and cutesy and awwwww. (I'm articulating myself very well.)

George is more abstracted and built on sharp angles and dramatic lines. In my pinned post I compare him to a flounder because I enjoy the humor of putting all of his facial features on one plane. I exaggerate his nose because it's one of the more prominent features, being long and broad at the tip. All of the drawings are 2D, but there is an intentional flatness to George. His face is obviously the most abstract part of him, but I try to keep the flat and sharp angles throughout his body, and especially in his hands.

Sapnap is a bit more of a basic design as the other two, but the big factors in his design are his head and his height. For his head, I replicate it's long oval shape and then give him big puppy dog eyes and his eyebrows and mustache to tie it all together. His hair also changed from comic to comic, both representing his beloved horns and his newly grown, relatively tame fuzz. The choice to make him comically short is mostly from the fact that he's lied about his height and definitely gets that short guy complex, but I represent it with love as a tall person myself that loves short dudes.

Their designs have changed and grown some since the first time I've drawn them, but there are a lot of things I've kept consistent through it all. I'm planning on eventually doing more semi-realism with them, too, where they are less cartoon and a bit more based in realistic proportions. I think it's important to have multiple styles and be able to change between them, knowing when to be rooted in realism and when to practice abstraction.

If you have any more questions, or just wanna chat about art, I am so so down! This is one of my favorite things! :]
