Silly Old Bear

Disney and E. H. Shepard are undoubtably good at designing characters, but I wanted to see what the iconic cast of Winnie-the-Pooh (that was his original name, with dashes and all) would look like if they were closer in appearance to their stuffed counterparts.

I learned more about the Pooh fracnhise's history while researching this then I expected to. Like, Rabbit and Owl were always organic, non-stuffed animals. Pooh's actual name was Edward. And Piglet looks nothing like a pig of any age.

I wanted them to retain some Disney and Shepard influence, but I also wanted them to look more like the vintage toys they were based on.


And here's everyone individually.
