Gravedale U Blanche

One of my redesigns from a little remembered Hanna-Barbara cartoon called Gravedale High. Whilst the original was set in a high school for monsters, I chose to update it and move it to a college/university setting.

Blanche was one of the few characters in the original show that didn't really have much of a strong personality other than southern belle. My take on her is of a more antagonistic role which the show seemed to be missing. I decided to play up the materialistic side of her character and turned her into a gossipy mall zombie with a love for fashion, money and popularity. I also felt her original design wasn't zombie enough, the challenge was to do this whilst not making her look too gross and gory considering this is based on a kids show.

Blanche is also now dating J.P Ghastly but it's not clear if this is genuine affection or an interest in his popularity and bank balance.
