Meet the Snookers

Well, after creating that earlier illustration, I figured out it was relatively easy to create characters in that kind of style, so I created some more.

In fact, I created a whole family of them.

Well, a nuclear family. Dad, mom and a kid. Wait… A nuclear family was 2.5 kids, wasn’t it? Okay, so it’s a sub-nuclear family. Maybe the other 1.5 kids didn’t make it into the bomb shelter.

Anyway, I am calling them the Snookers. That’s because they look like billiard balls, but I didn’t want to call them the Billiards, but I think the dad will be Bill. Bill Snooker. Anyway, so snooker is like billiards, so I am calling them the Snookers.

So, meet the Snookers…

The Snooker Family

They don’t dance yet, but they blink. So, at least they are doing something while they’re just standing there.

I also have two more characters created, but you don’t see them here. Maybe tomorrow.

Their rhythmic blinking scares me.

Synchronicity can occur in closely-knit families of cartoon characters. There is no known cure. Well, there is one cure, but it costs several hundred thousands of dollars a year in order to afford proper care of the situation by professionals known as professional animators. Until then, don’t judge. ;)

They look kind of scary to me- is this a spin off of South Park or something? I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch that show.

Do they look South Park-ish? You’re the second person that’s told me that. They weren’t inspired by South Park at all. I didn’t think there was an similarity except that these are easy to do, which I think is why South Park’s characters were done the way they were done. I heard they were originally paper cutouts. Anyway, if these guys are too close to South Park, maybe I’ll need to go back to the drawing board…
