Gravedale U Cleo

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.

In the original show, Cleo was pretty much a nice character with a fan girl obsession for the T.V actor Billy Headstone. Whilst she was one of the more friendly characters, she was basically a fat joke with her full name being Cleofatra. My version shows that it is only a mean nickname.

Cleo, next to my version of Duzer is probably the design I changed the most. I wanted her mummy wrap to feature a bit more in her design, I also wanted to show she was proud of her Egyptian heritage but tried to keep the look a little more modern with the dress length and heels. I didn't want to make my Cleo just a fat joke, I wanted to make her a positive, sweet character who just happens to be curvy.
