Its been a fad lately for illustrators to render reinterpretations of classical animation characters. There seems to be a preference towards 70s and 80s series. Never the less it seems no one has taken interest for this character. The programs were a tad slow and animation certainly wasnt the best, no doubt, but I fancied the psychedelic and absurd concept as interesting and of a unique identity. It certainly marks my generation, not so much for the program, but rather for the stubborn transmission and retransmission of the chapters for more than seven years, no doubt, because our Mexican stations didnt had too many programs then.
I have read a number of artists who were small children when this series was on the air credit the series for inspiring a "trippy imagination" -- it is nice to see it remembered so many years after its cancellation!
You handle the dragon rather well! I miss the Grump's absurd choice of hot pink for his outfit, however.
This is glorious. I used to be a faithful view of this cartoon, probably due to its irresistable earworm of a theme song, and despite the rather obvious inadequacies of its DePatie-Freleng animation (with its obvious recycling of "Knighty Knight Bugs"). Your illustration is so good that one could imagine someone writing a revamped fantasy series based just on it. Bravo!
