Description

NOTE! For those just seeing this, please note it is dated 2007. This is not art (or writing) up to my current standards, and was of iffy quality even at the time. If I can find time, I'll revisit it.

Okay. I have no idea what possessed me, but a couple of weeks ago I was re-watching some Rainbow Brite episodes via YouTube. And afterwards, I started cruising DA for Rainbow Brite art. There are quite a few interpretations of a teen-aged Ranbow and company, and a lot of Rainbow/Krys pairing fan art. I didn't find any Rainbow/Bryan fan art, and that suprised me. I get the entire Rainbow/Krys thing is popular because Krys was in the movie, but Bryan was the only human Rainbow made friends with, and she gave him a magic key that allowed him to visit RainbowLand at any time. I dunno, I feel like that should make for a more balanced interpretation in the fandom. I guess most of the people out there now have only seen the movie and not the TV.

Anyhow, I decided to do a brief 6 or so page fan comic for Rainbow Brite. I'll go just far enough to introduce both pairings conceptually, and that's all I want to do with it.

I've set it about 20 years after TV episode 2 (the episode introducing Bryan). This means Bryan is 31. I figure this puts Rainbow mid-twenties somewhere, and Krys is probably somewhere in between the two age-wise. I noticed that in Bryan's first conversation with Rainbow, he said "Well I'm not a bee's belly! Look, you better get this off me. My father's a lawyer!" I figured, that with his father's & Rainbow's influence, Bryan would probably grow up to be a lawyer himself, but would do a lot of community outreach and take on a lot of environmental causes.

The art's going to be pretty flaky because I'm drawing each panel at pretty much random them putting it together. And the dialogue... eh-heh. I'm sucking at that. You try updating Murky's evil on the fly!

So, this won't be a masterpiece, but should be simple and cute. Enjoy.

Love the hairdo on RB, but why did you make Purple a tiny band? At her age, i would have expected RB to wear a different outfit than her ringed toddler dress, but nice job overall!
