This was for Planet-Pulp.com's Dec. Rankin/Bass show. If I have more time this month I'd love to have a go at a Rudolph piece.. Either way this cartoon got into my head as a little kid and worked its voodoo for sure-- pencil sketch colored in photoshop
Dude I love this. Im a big fan of Rankin/Bass and all there Cartoons. As a kid when it snowed, I used to put on my Bubble Jacket get my little sister and and head to the biggest hill in the park. I'll tell her to hold on tight, then I would take a running dive and slide down the hill with her on my back. After a few times my belly would be killing me but, just to see the smile on her face was priceless.
Classic! You've captured the essence of the characters and added a buxom friend -- I'm presuming a grown-up Karen -- for Frosty. He'd better be careful, she's way to HOT! for a snowman. ; ) Great nostalgia piece.
