Cartoon character design for funny White Trash cartoon characters

The Whit Trash are a group of cartoon charcaters developed for Fineline Properties (I also designed and created the Fineline website). I had been doodling some redneck/hillbilly type characters for awhile, and thought it would be fun to develop a whole lineup. The word "mullet" didn't have the widespread notoriety it now has today when we developed the characters. The group (left to right): Stonewash, Tube Top, G, Double Wide, Menthol, Mullet and Freebird.

All the art was hand drawn and then scanned and placed into Illustrator as a template, where the final vector art was completed. The characters were inked and the vector art generated in Photoshop, as I wanted a more hand-drawn feel to the line work, but also wanted the flexibility of a vector file.
