Description
A joint commission for and depicting the hottest teacher American animation has to offer. also consulted me with the pic and came up with the idea of using a reflection to show us something we wouldn't otherwise see in this situation

To prepare for this commission, I took out my PPG DVD box set and intended to watch a few Ms. Keane episodes from the last three seasons. In the end, however, I ended up watching the entire series but hey, it's a damn good cartoon and it still manages to captivate me (much better than Dexter's Laboratory, my other '90s favorite).

During my marathon I tried to find reference for Ms. Keane's bathroom but alas, they never showed it. As for the rest of her apartment, we only see it in the episode 'Keen on Keane', where it's revealed that, probably as a contrast to Professor Utonium's bright and pretty early '60s decor, Ms. Keane seems to be stuck in the '70s with earth tones and muted colours everywhere. As someone who loves the '80s/early '90s and pastel tones, 1970s visuals are usually something I don't care to see unless it makes sense in the context (for example, I can't imagine watching a movie like Shaft or Coffy without all the '70s decor, I want to see it there).

As you're hopefully all aware, I usually aim for historical accuracy when it comes to drawing fan art (i.e. if the show takes place in the early '90s, I don't draw characters using smartphones). However, I did make an exception this time and gave Keane a more early '00s style bathroom since I found the '70s ones usually looking very grimy and messy, mostly because of the colours used in them. I still tried to make it look like it's from the actual show, though. I also gave Keane some cheesy towels with upper and lower case letters because she's a teacher. That's the joke. And yes, that's Sebamed shower gel there in the background, modeled after the one I have in my own bathroom.
