Care Bear Cousin Leptictidium
Care Bear Cousin Leptictidium by @Roadstripe (CyberCorn Entropic)

I was digging through my archives when I ran across an incomplete version of this character, one Broad Heart Lepti, Care Bear Cousin. At the time when I drew this, I was wanting to make a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptictidium]leptictidium[/url] and thought one in the '80's Care Bears style would be amusing. Presumably, Broad Heart's schtick would be something along the lines of diversity is a good thing, that just because something is different doesn't mean it's a bad thing, or some such. Were I to revisit this character, I'd probably tweak the name and tummy symbol.

I took so long in finishing this one because I originally wanted to try coloring it up in the actual style of the original catalog art, with its definite fur patterning. Finally, I realized I probably wasn't going to get around to imitating the old art style and decided to just finish it as is so people can look at it.

You capture the design aesthetic of a Carebear Cousin, though the name might be a mouthful for the target 2-5 year old demographic :D Overall a cute character tho!

Thank you. Would you believe I still have the Care Bears and Cousins and their brochures I got in the '80s? Very handy for getting the right art style. :p

Hard to say with those kids. If they can get their mouths around dinosaur names, they probably wouldn't have much problems with a leptictidium. :o In any case, she'd probably be marketed as "'Something' Heart Lepti", which would be easier for parents to say. :p
