Well, what do you know; my first artwork of 2022! Anyhow, somebody pondered the idea of Wabuu the Raccoon as a 1940s cartoon character. Naturally, I felt inspired and this is how I imagine him as a character from that era (or a possible reboot design, you be the judge).
In the 1940s a BBC radio producer went to Scotland in search of selkies, myths of shape-shifting seal people.

Big fan of this entire series which takes inspiration from character designs from the 1940s and adds some incredible splashes of color.
Could easily see this being an animated show or video game. Happy to collect!
