Wendy seems to have given her procyonine friend a makeover.

TV Tropes has noted before that there are some common tropes for female characters, especially when they come in groups. When it comes to the duo, there’s the the tomboy and girly girl (for example, Lana and Lola Loud), and in a trio, there’s the beauty, the brains and the brawn (for example, Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup). Recently, I’ve thought of a similar trope for a quartet: the geek, the tomboy, the punk and the fashionista. Yeah, you see where I’m going with this; it’s based on the main female characters of Grunvale. Gilda Grime being the geek, Margo Hynde being the tomboy, Wendy Wyler being the punk, and April Lowry being the fashionista.

Recently, I had the urge to draw Gilda as an emo girl (which I see as counting under Wendy’s ‘punk’ type. It’s an umbrella), and this was the result. Never thought I’d be using the color scheme for Gilda’s powdered face (seen in her vampire costume) again, but I have the swatches saved in ASP, so at least I got another chance to put them to good use. Wait, are emos supposed to smile? Well, this one does. Because Gilda can’t not be adorable for even a second.

Oh, and yes, I do plan to make a series out of this. The four main females of Grunvale, as the other character types in the archetype quartet I’ve thought up. Considering this is Punk Gilda, that means there’s left to do: Tomboy GildaFashionista GildaGeek MargoPunk MargoFashionista MargoGeek WendyTomboy WendyFashionista WendyGeek AprilTomboy April and Punk April. This… this’ll be fun to do. It’ll make for a fun project to do into October.
