Kim Possible -- 2/25/22 Exclusive Poll Winner (Patreon)

You asked for her, so here she is! It's always a fun challenge, when the source material has such a radically-different design than my own -- the style of Kim Possible and a lot of animated shows is so simplified and cartoony, I really have to make a lot of little decisions on how I'm going to translate the subject character in a way that looks believable and consistent in my more realistic style, while still retaining the core recognizable features of the character. For Kim Possible, the style is very unique, and relies on a lot of exaggerated anatomy (big heads, curvy silhouettes, and big eyes), much of which I couldn't keep if I was going to make Kim into a more realistic figure. I tried to retain her big green eyes, as well as emphasize that trademark dark upper lip.

For the costumes of characters like this, I sometimes take some artistic liberty in adding more design elements such that the costume doesn't look too boring -- a costume in a 2D animated cartoon won't necessarily translate well to a more realistic body shape, especially when you add in more detailed rendering, and fabrics. I considered giving her some more gear, and details, but ended up keeping it as minimalistic as possible, since the more you play around with an iconic character's look, the more they start to visually depart from the recognizable.

Anyway, that's all I have for now -- I hope you like it! Let me know what you think in the comments below.
