Dora the Explorer and Boots
Dora is an adventurer in the Cartoons. I made the adult Dora with all the trademark clothings, although I faded her pink top a bit since outdoors tend to run down the color of clothes. The shoes in the cartoons wouldn't naturally be compatible for outdoor activities, so as an adult, I gave Dora boots. Plus, I put in the trademark map in the backpack, and I added a canteen since most explorers carry this item. The hair was pretty tricky. When outdoors, most women can't maintain straight hair such as the Cartoon Dora. So in the adult version, i gave her some curls, sunburned traits in the hair.
Dee Dee
Dee Dee is portrayed in Cartoon Network as that mischievous older sister of Dexter, who torments his brother with "sweet" bullying. I made Dee Dee a dancer as an adult since in the Cartoon, she's usually seen dancing ballet and wearing a tu-tu. As a dancer, Dee Dee developed a toner body, with a smaller front since most dancers do not develop bigger breasts. I also gave her a powerful pair of legs which is usually what most dancers have. As you can see, Dee Dee still has that mischievous half-smile, but not childlike.
Christopher Robin and Winnie The Pooh
I know Pooh's just a teddy bear, but what happens when he becomes real and grows up with Christopher Robin? There's no orange furred bear in reality, so I used the Alaskan Grizzly Bear's soft brown fur for Pooh. Of course, there's Pooh's trademark red shirt and the pot of "hunny". For Christopher Robin, I made him not too rugged, since he's English, and would probably grow up taking blue collared jobs. I toned down his body because he loved adventure as a child, and is possibly into outdoor sports as an adult. Most Cartoons portray Christopher Robin as brown haired, although some books portrayed him red headed. So I mixed both colors, brown with a tinge of red.
