public domain re-imagined sketches of the three characters.
might re-colorized oswald to make him more blue.
I know that fanny was more innocent, but I really like both iterations of her, so I decided to give her a sister.
so heres some small context re-writes that take place in the shorts:
- in the “Poor Papa” Short, you see the older “Oswald” and “Fanny” but instead I re-wrote it as Oswald’s parents. You see a young bunny with Papa already while they wait for the doc, so I decided to make the youngling as Oswald. (The Bunny children still exists though.)
in the “All Wet” Short, I re-wrote into Oswald mistaking Fanny for Francine (because theyre sister’s) so that would explain the unfolded story of their interactions.
I have alot more soon, but if I could get a slight thought from anyone that would be nice :’]
I’m sorry but wow this took long (and I’m tired :,D)! 🩷✨
And here is Witch Master Francine “Fanny” Cottontail! (I promise I’ll draw the rest soon lol)
As guessed she is a witch in my AU (a good one don’t worry). Idk much about her yet but I’ll think about her bio and info soon…👀✨ Enjoy!✨🩷
Also Ortensia has hair now lol 😂, I got inspired by @angelleplaytoonbeary and @bniebee Musketeer Ortensia so big thanks for them! (Their Ortensias are so pretty 😍) what do you think? Should I keep it or no?
Kinda adding onto the last fact but Oswald The Lucky Rabbit and Ortensia The Cat have 420 bunny kids. All are named Oswald Jr. and They make an appearance in Epic Mickey 1,2. /#3
(Also if anyone mentions Fanny/Francine Cottontail from the old cartoons, she’s also listed on sites as a sibling so I’m just going to chalk it up to a weird retcon.)
I did some design sheets for the non-OC toon characters + their OC family members in the Tooniverse and decided to post them :) a few liberties are taken (ie most characters not wearing gloves or shoes because i hate drawing them) but their designs are generally adapted from canon appearances! They’re mostly actors in the Tooniverse, so I’ve also written out what their personalities are like off-screen under the cut :)
Here’s Mortimer, Pete, and Fanny! Fanny’s here because I didn’t know what other characters to stick her with, no other reason.
Mortimer Slicker - Took his last name from the “Mr. Slicker” character in the old old Mickey comics, who was likely Mortimer’s predecessor in terms of character design. Didn’t want him to have the same last name as Mickey and Minnie. Mortimer is still kind of smarmy, but he’s not the sexist sleezeball he is in the shorts he appears in. If you look at his appearance in the “Maybe I’m a Maze” Mickey Mouse Funhouse episode, you can actually get a pretty good idea of how he acts off screen in the Tooniverse. He’s actually Mickey’s brother in law (his sister married Mickey’s sister) and that’s how they met in the first place- Mickey then offered him the spot on the upcoming “Mickey’s Rival” short they were gonna be filming. In the Tooniverse he’s actually a horse-mouse hybrid to explain his long nose and ears, since rat toons don’t exist.
Peter Percival Jr. - Peter Percival Sr. is actually the “Pete” that would appear in Oswald’s old shorts, his father. Yoinked “Percival” from the comics. Like his dad, he was born without his left foot, but that’s never stopped him. Toon tech is advanced enough he could probably get a more realistic prosthetic, but he likes his peg. Off camera he behaves a lot like Buford from Phineas and Ferb- weird and still maybe kind of aggressive, but not an out right jackass. Him and Mortimer are best friends, (And later they get together as a couple) and they’re both inspired by their appearance in the modern Mickey Mouse shorts.
Francine “Fanny” Cottontail - Oswald’s former love interest on his show- not his ex. She was simply an actor trying to get into the industry so she could be a director. I didn’t want to entirely erase her, but I like my Ostensias and didn’t want to mess with that in any way, so this seemed like a good solution! She’s actually the one that encouraged Ortensia to replace her on the show, and then she took up the role of director when the one they had threw a hissy fit about the idea of Oswald suddenly switching love interests. Sassy, kind of crude, honest, but loyal, she’s one of Oswald and Ortensia’s closest friends, having helped them sneak around the unapproving J.P. Whiskers many a time. She’s still a director over at Disney now, and usually works on House of Mouse (which runs for much longer in the Tooniverse) and the modern Mickey shorts. She loves to play match maker.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Francine “Fanny” Cottontail in All Wet (1927)
Directed by Ub Iwerks…
So uh, it's a rule of thumb in Kingdom Hearts that Heartless are just emotionless remnants of a heart with negative emotions and despair-- okay but what if it WASN'T always the case?
Based on some joke ideas from the meme blog. Here’s a giant, sentient Heartless. His name is Caligo. Also, Fanny Cottontail.
I'm decided, to draw sketch remake design characters to is associated with the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit universe. "Two"Fanny's(one old love Interested) and versions Fanny under Walten Lantz) & familly Ortensia the Cat(father and brother).
I. To Francine Cottontail sketch remake design. I gave her short hair, I was inspired by the other Disney characters that have them (like Della Duck or Roxanne).
II. To Fanny under Walten Lantz remake design. In versions Walten Lantz Fanny is Oswald's sister.
Although she was another creature, I wanted to make her remake of the design. Wearing a headband with flowers
III. To Ortensia's father, Too much did not change, besides a little coat and features (I do not know if I can call it really)
IV. To Ortensia's brother I thought he would give him a vest.
It's for now so much, because frankly I can not describe too well, maybe one day I'll add a post with colors and can try to add a few hedcanons and draw a genetogic tree (maybe)
