As anyone who has log onto Tumblr or Deviant Art knows , there ’s fan artwork for absolutely everything . And within that fan art , there are muckle of aesthetic takes show up characters as hip young grownup sporting clothes almost too cool to exist in literal life . ( Show me a person who can actually pull off goggles . You ca n’t . ) The classic NicktoonRugratswas never known for being a glamorous or esthetically pleasing show , but that did n’t lay aside it fromgetting flower child - ifiedby many now - grown fan .
Most the great unwashed take fan nontextual matter as an inevitable side effect of medium , well , existing . But others , like formerRugratsstoryboard artist Eric Molinsky , have some beef with some of the intention .
As Molinsky explained onStudio360 , the art itself is not unsound , but might miss the pointedness of the original inspiration .
" We referred to them as chunky babies for a intellect , " he tell . " If we ever draw the Rugrats as being too cunning , our executive producer would scold us . We were opine to emulate the style of Eastern European animators — many of whom were bring over , with their sly wit and husky voices ( they took a lot of weed fault ) . "
To further exemplify his period , Molinsky went on to literally illustrate some of his own grownup renditions of the " lumpy babies " :

The depictions of Tommy and Chuckie are a little off fromwhat we view canyon , but I conceive we can all be proud of to see Angelica keep an eye on in her female parent ’s place , and Phil ’s ducky tattoo . " The Rugrats did not all grow up to be fashion models or self - surefooted hipsters . Especially not Chuckie . They probably grew up to be middling if not somewhat chunky looking multitude — just like their parent , " Molinsky said .
While some werethrilledto see an creative person protect his legacy , others were a act more justificatory . One creative person forebode out by Molinsky had this to sayon her Tumblr :
Regardless of intentions , it ’s always fun to see animators make art years after the show has been wrapped up . For more from Molinsky , watch out his podcast , Imaginary Worlds .
