Hong Kong Phooey Tribute

Description

The latest in my Hanna Barbera 70's tributes, Hong Kong Phooey. Loved this concept as a kid, and paying tribute to it, I found that I didn't want or need to change it too much. It was already close to my own style, and I loved the original designs so much. What I did was draw the characters from memory while making sure to twist them to my style, then went back and found reference to make sure I got the color scheme accurate to the original characters. From left to right, I dropped Spot the cat's usual laid back, grinning expression for a more serious one, since he's the real strength behind HKP and the true hero behind the scenes. Phooey himself is pretty much spot on, though I neglected to add the lines around his mouth. For Rosemary, I kept her blue tinted glasses but opted to make her just a little cuter than she was in the original show. But with the chief, I loved his design so much that I tried hard to almost duplicate it. His waistline came up to his chest, and he NEVER bent his knees when he ran, which I thought were some pretty neat characteristics, so I strived to keep them here. The criminal is just a generic thug of my invention. So that's it. Hope you guys dig it. Grape Ape is next on the list, with maybe one or two afterwards to complete the set.
