What? A post paying tribute to a Spanish game show that was introduced in the mid 1990s? For those who don't know what it is, this is a prime-time television show called El Grand Prix del verano. It was broadcasted on La 1 for eleven seasons and, after being broadcasted on some regional broadcasters of FORTA for three seasons, a revival of this television show was broadcasted on La 1. The most striking part of El Grand Prix del verano is the use of a domestic bovine (which is referred to as "vaquilla," which literally means "heifer" in Spanish) as its mascot. Regarding the revival itself, which has been broadcasted since the summer of 2023, it is the most politically correct out of all seasons in terms of animal welfare. That is to say, actual heifers are absent. This compensates with costumed performers dressed as the mascot. In my opinion, I think using costumed characters are better than using actual bovines in game shows.
As a result, I decided to draw a fan art of the mascot of El Grand Prix del verano. As a Littlest Pet Shop fan, I drew the heifer in Littlest Pet Shop style. While I use the design of the heifer as depicted in the revival, the style is reminiscent of the G2 Littlest Pet Shop style. Judging by the symbols in the heifer's eyes, this style is specifically the one that was used between the years 2007 and 2008. Besides, I rarely draw bovine animals, so it was my first attempt to draw such animal.
Thoughts about this drawing? I will respect your opinion if you don't like El Grand Prix del verano. I don't mind this Spanish game show, but I laugh every time this fictional heifer mooed.
