To celebrate the end of @disneyanimation’s/@disneyxd‘s/@daronnefcy’s Star vs. the Forces of Evil Season 4 (and perhaps the series... so far), here’s some fan art of my favorite precious little angel from Heaven up above! I did most of these in January and intended to celebrate the 4-year anniversary of SvTFOE’s premiere.

As always, the character design is meant to be as true to the designs of @cheyennecurtisart & @lynnvwang with art directors @joshparpan and @justinparpan. Those are the best!

A tribute to the creative and diverse wackiness of the art of Star vs. the Forces of Evil ’s season 1 episode “Matchmaker”.

The last four designs here, from Power-Noia, look beautiful... and very cinematic! (tweet about that here) Some of the clouds look like the art direction of Scott Wills (Samurai Jack, Quest for Camelot, The Ren & Stimpy Show).

I have no idea who did the art direction for the first 3 Powerpuff Girls episodes after The Powerpuff Girls Movie (Art Direction by Mike Moon) and before episodes with art direction by Paul Stec, but these backgrounds are absolutely beautiful!

As if the character design by Carey Yost, Anna Chambers and @chrisbattleart wasn’t already wonderful, the episodes Keen on Keane, Not So Awesome Blossom and Power-noia have great, stylized location designs by Dave Dunnet, @shinypinkbottle and Paul Stec.

The Powerpuff Girls’  art direction was in transition during the movie. Pokey Oaks Kindergarten in Keen on Keane still looked like the long, pink building from the past episodes, while in the movie Pokey Oaks looked like it did in the Paul Stec years.

In Power-Noia, Pokey Oaks Kindergarten appeared differently with a new location and sign, while keeping the pink color, similar to Paul Stec’s art direction.

The designs overall in Power-Noia look very cinematic, namely the following pan from Townsville to the PPGs’ home. The color designs (Amie A. Hawes) and effects (including Digital Background EFX by Stephen Jennings) are also cinematic in tone.

Of course, The Powerpuff Girls Season 5 opened up not with an actual portrait of Townsville.

Someone should get @shinypinkbottle and/or David A. Dunnet to do background design on The Powerpuff Girls again! I’d also recommend the talents of Peter Emmerich, Chris Tsirgiotis, Larry Murphy, Joshua & Justin Parpan (Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Wander Over Yonder, Harvey Street Kids); Stephen DeStefano and Amanda Qian Li (Samurai Jack) to contribute.
