Commission for ThaMan. This is the very first pic I've done of Johnny Bravo, which I did watch back in the day but wasn't very high on my "must see" cartoons. I guess I wasn't really interested in the premise nor the art style, which I thought was closer to 1970s Hanna-Barbera productions than the '50s/'60s UPA shorts (I've never been fond of '70s or early-to-mid-'80s cartoons). Still, I did watch the show whenever it happened to be on but I don't remember seeing more of it than the first season and a few episodes from season two.
Fast forward twelve years and I find myself drawing this character, Heather Asplund, from the afore-mentioned show. She appears in S3 finale, in an episode called 'It's Valentine's Day, Johnny Bravo'. I watched this episode I had never seen before to be familiarized with the character and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the emotional state of this character in the very end – did Johnny ever meet up a woman like this before? I mean, obviously, as a character she's mostly nothing more than a walking gag but still. While the episode didn't have me roaring with laughter or making me pump my fists into the air, it was enjoyable and I was left with a nice feeling inside after it was over.
This image can be seen either as a follow-up dream or distant future reality after the said episode. Take it as you will.
I also did another version without gloves:
