And for some reason, Kotaku keeps posting them every other month or so. I call shenanigans - there must be some friendly or professional relationship with this artist.

He has done this for several 90's cartoons and the worst offense was Ed, Edd, n Eddy. The artist didnt even try to make them feel unique.

As fun as this is, and the artist did a good job, sometimes I'd like to see the "grown up" fanart with either (A) everyone grown up to, like, their 40's rather than early 20's and (B) everyone doesn't necessarily grow up to be beautiful. Some of us who were awkward teens are still frumpy adults, thank you very much.

It's like taking a cartoon and redoing it in the most tone deaf, obnoxious style possible.

What are you talking about? If I draw a person and then give them blue skin it's CLEARLY a grown up Skeeter!

Yeah, these are just normal people with bizarre skin tones. Aside from that (and hair) none of the characters have any of the other features that help them stand out.

Oh man, I am so happy to read this comment.

They're not even well drawn. This shit is garbage.

I was going to say Jersey Shore douchebags, but hipsters will work.

Is there some sort of agreement between Kotaku and the Artist of these? Almost His entire line has been posted, like some kind of weird advertising, for well drawn but substantially indistinguishable designs?

Please stop posting this guy's shit.

That's exactly what I saw in the thumbnail.

To be fair, Doug himself seems to have turned into the main character from the Bully games.

That's been my complaint too. All of the characters fall into the wheelhouse of that particular artist's personal style.

Actually, they are all by the same artist.

I like how all these "90's cartoons grown up" involves everyone turning into either models or hipsters. Are all these made by the same artist or do they just happen to have similar styles?

Maybe we should stop putting celebrities on pedestal and acting like they don't spew shit out of their mouths like normal humans. Most aren't saints like Patrick Stewart, Hiddles, and Ian McKellem and i'm sure if we dig far enough we can find something bad from their pasts to knock them down to earth with.

No one is going to read the wall of text rambling of a 13yo

Yes, God forbid a game set in mostly in London and a British town have British characters speak in the Queen's English and have British sounding voice actors. That's horrible!

I'm not distracted. Why are you?
