I recently reunited with my friend Reehan from high school. Reehan made a six-book comic series called Blue Alien in high school. I personally loved those comics he made. So I decided to draw the two main characters, Butch and Sophie, in my own style. Giving them each redesigns! He's a big fan of Ralph Bakshi and Don Bluth, so for their designs I went full 1980s with their looks! With my own "Claire Flair", of course!

For Sophie, Reehan said that his main model for her were his three childhood crushes: Jane Porter from Disney's Tarzan, Princess Daphne from Dragon's Lair, and Kimberly from Space Ace. So I went full-blown 80s space princess for her design. I made her skin and hair color a three-way mix between Jane, Daphne, and Kimberly. Reddish tan skin and a big and loud hairstyle colored like a sunset. The outfit is very sexualized and bubbly, like many 80s outfits. But I went for a simple light teal and gold color scheme with a sheer skirt, sleeves, a heart crown and earrings, and high heeled sandals.

For Butch, I went full macho action-figure manly man. I decided to make him a bit more exaggerated than your generic action hero. You rarely see heroes with long faces and big noses, not "conventionality handsome". So I tried doing that! I made him look older, with a bushy beard and serious look in his eye. He's got a giant sword, badass armor, and I love making big fancy belts and boots. So you know the drill, I added all the fancy bells and whistles.
