Your drawing humans has improved a lot. I like the direction its going. And maybe their clothing could reflect their color schemes as animals, so you wouldn't have to lose so much of their original designs...?
That's an idea! I was thinking of possibly adding an armadillo tattoo to Emily (she is from Texas), but that wouldn't really match her character. I need to work on her design more, make her a bit pointier...right now she looks like all of my non-specific female human characters.
I think Jo pulls off the transition better than Emily, physically, because of her height and her nose. Though I've already had a couple people ask me if she's Jewish (c'mon, now, people! Stereotype much?).
This project -- if I actually do it -- may be entirely to get me comfortable drawing humans. And I'm totally okay with that =)
If you don't mind me saying so, one thing you might want to think about is giving her a different jawline- a lot of your characters have jaws that sort of slope back up from the chin. That's not bad, but if you want to distinguish them more, changing that might help.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice. I only say so because I like what you're doing with these and I want to see more of em!
Also, I can't believe someone would look at that character and go "LOL JEWISH?!" Crazy.
Don't worry about the unsolicited advice -- I totally and entirely appreciate it! You've got one of the coolest styles of any of the artists I know and I'm pretty darn sure you will go farther in the art/cartoon/comic world than I could ever attempt, so getting advice from you is awesome =)
I am going to attempt the jawline thing, probably tonight, and a reworking of Emily -- if I make her a bit more squared off, she'll look more like her armadillo self.

I love 'em, even as humans.
