Description
My fanart cartoon version of Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey! *sighs* Well, the letters here didn’t come out as straight ones as I’ve planned, based on the letters on the Original 1977 Rankin/Bass Poster. Still, there’s time to get it right I always say.
The main focus of my personal fan-artwork for Deviant ART is based on two of my favorite stop-motion Christmas Specials by Rankin/Bass: The Little Drummer Boy and Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. My art version of these two are drawn in a 2-D traditional animated cartoon appearance other than Animagic stop-motion, based on an interesting idea I had with the 1998 film version of Rudolph. Plus, the characters in my version also have a bit more attitude, personality & character than they originally had in the specials. Anyhow, the certain type of art I’ve chosen is based on the exact art style of “Adventures in Odyssey” and “The Adventures of McGee & Me!” produced by Mike Joens & Ken C. Johnson, and “Kids’ Ten Commandments: K*10*C” directed by Ken C. Johnson & Richard Rich. It’s okay if none of you might understand what I’m talking about because these three Non-Disney cartoon series are spiritual, religious programs inspired by Bible principles.

I'm going to keep him the same. And that even includes the colors.
Ever familar with Ken C. Johnson or Mike Joens' animated works? For example, Adventures in Oydessy and Kids' Ten Commandments? It's okay if you don't know them. I just made both Nestor & Aaron based on that same type of cartoon style in my version.
