Was inspired by @wolfsvile's (twt) ppg iteration and decided to draw around its concept with my own take of how they came to be :)
tried to stay loyal to their og shape language while straying further from the simplicity of the style, and picked up a few things from astroboy and my life as a teenage robot
You think the PPG trio have any trauma from being Townsville's protectors??
(Very deep question i know but this Anon had that question as a shower thought that it just had to be asked :V)
Yes. Entirety of Speed Demon feels like foreshadowing to just how much Townsville and even their WORLD rests on their shoulders.
If the girls ever grow up they're GOING to have actual demons to face from their past. Ones HIM will absolutely take advantage of.
Like, even the scene where the girls are essentially taunted by the fallen citizens of Townville is hard to watch because of how tormented the girls are. It's only after they undo their jump to the future that things are back to normal, and even if it was a mostly episodic show I doubt it'll be forgotten.
MY OWN TAKE ON WHAT THE PPG WOULD LOOK LIKE AS ADULTS!!
WOAH!!
But uhhhh yeah
For context
These designs are for an AU I made a while back simply called “The Powerpuff Girls: 20 Years Later”.
It’s a pretty self explanatory AU… at first.
In a nutshell, Professor Utonium has created his own industry & left it in Blossom’s care after his retirement from the scientific field… which he decided to spend by traveling the world.
Blossom, now put in charge of Utonium Industries, spends the majority of her time working, trying to better the world through the power of science.
As a result, she isolated herself from the rest of society to focus on her work, something that has taken a drastic toll on her mental health.
Her sisters, Bubbles & Buttercup, are pretty much doing just fine with Bubbles being a veterinarian & Buttercup being an Athlete. The two frequently try to reconnect with their sister, but to no avail.
There’s a LOT more to this AU, but I’ve already made a few posts about it in the past, so if this lil story interests you, you can check out the tags & find em that way!
Also another study, trying to figure out how to draw the PPG/RRB’s flight.. blurs? Whatever they’re called. I did a few other tests recently, I think my biggest complaint is how bright Butch’s blur is. Def going to be changing the colors a bit!! :)
I hope Barbie is so good and successful it makes every executive that’s turned everything bright and fun made for young girls into edgy boring teen dramas for the last ten years spontaneously combust into flames
