I Sorted Famous Characters Into Teams Of The Same Animal Species (New Pics)
Here comes the second part of my series in which I classify all these characters with their fellow creatures of the same species as if we were doing a big family photo.
Of course, I couldn’t do this series without doing the dogs and cats! I expected them to be numerous… But not that many! So many that I even had to arrange them by color.
There are at least 170 cats and 230 dogs, and of course, some are still missing, but I think the most important ones are there.
Between the research of characters, the setting up, and the illustration itself, it took me about 50 hours to draw the cat team and 70 hours for the dogs.
Let me introduce you to my hippo, fox, wolf, tiger, cat, and dog teams!

Dog team
The idea to create these drawings came naturally after I classified the characters by color! I liked this format I created and I wanted to use it more. In the meantime, I realized that there are so many characters we are used to seeing that we forgot who they are in the first place. The most gripping example for me is Bowser. I have to admit that I do not see him as a turtle anymore. So, the animal teams were the perfect way to remind people that our beloved characters are first of all animals.
Cat team
These drawings require a lot of work! And it’s not just pleasure to create them! It takes me at least 60h to conceive a team, and half of it is searching in my memories, the internet and making lists of characters! Fortunately, I also have a community that is willing to help in the process. I regularly ask them for characters I could have forgotten, and most of the time, they surprise me with characters that I didn’t even know!
I have to admit that my favorite part in this very long process is thinking about the interaction between characters. I love to find similarities between them that lead to a funny scene.
Fox team
Without any hesitation, the hardest part is to find a place for everyone. I have to draw a lot of thumbnails and rough drafts for the positioning before I start the real piece. And even once I start, I often have a lot of adjusting to do.
Tiger team
I am fond of pop culture, in many ways! I grew up in the ’90s, I watched a lot of cartoons and anime, a lot of movies, I’ve been playing video games since I got the SNES when I was a kid… I am really curious and, obviously, I have a good memory.
Hippo team
Right now, I am doing the final round of the color teams. After the first and second rounds, I plan to gather all the fictional characters by color with even more characters than for the species!
I created this project in 2018 and it was quite a buzz… It even became an Instagram challenge (#colorchallenge or whatever) but I don’t worry about that, I just want to finish the teams hoping that I did not forget anyone! But, I will eventually return to this theme, because there are a lot of species I didn’t draw yet: mice, birds, dragons, etc.
Wolf team

I am a very nostalgic person 😁
Load More Replies...Absolutely popped off seeing my boy Amicus in the wolf collage! And Ren in the dog collage too!
This is Amazing. Should I be worried that I can identify so many from team cat and team fox?
Aha! I'm glad you identify them, it's not everyone's case 😆 and I thank you for your comment!
Load More Replies...OMG you included courage, and the watermelon dog from Steven as well as bongo cat wow love this!
Basil Brush, Gai-Luron, Cubitus... I had no idea some of these were known out side of France or the UK. For some reason, it made me happy.
I don't know if they are known outside of France...Not sure. Mais comme je suis française, je prends un malin plaisir à les inclure 😁
Load More Replies...I would've put Gromit with Inspector Gadget's Brain together. They both are at the mercy of their out-of-touch, out-of-control humans. Infinite patience.
Yes, I agree. They are so alike that I already associate them in other works :) but for this one, i try to stick to the color scheme.
Load More Replies...i want to bang them all. IM NOT A ZOO BUT LIKE THOSE CARTOON TIGERS AND WOLVES ARE HELLA FINE
Thank you very much :) And I already did a bear team, you can see it in my previous post !
Load More Replies...Im kinda sad that I didnt find magic or any other charaters from puppy in my pocket but im super happy I saw charlie from all dogs go to heaven that was my child hood
And thank you for your comment :) I'm glad you like it !
Load More Replies...Thanks ! And the bears are in my previous post ;)
Load More Replies...If you do another one of these I would recommend watching Centaurworld first, it is a weird show but I would definitely recommend it.
You added sanrio, pusheen, undertale and unikitty! RAD! Maybe do another few and sneak Chikn Nuggit characters in there
Isn't Hello Kitty actually canonically not a cat? Not trying to nitpick just wondering if I'm remembering wrong. Cool art
very nice, but no SWAT Cat representation on the cat team? Or did I miss it? Also Wile E. is a Coyote, not a wolf.
Oops, i didnt know SWAT cat ! Too bad ! And for Will.E.Coyote, i know he is a coyote... I mean, it's in his name... But coyotes and wolves are so similar it's was too hard to not include him ! 😬😅
Load More Replies...That's amazing, all the details and references!! Like how you added the Werewolf game in the wolf drawing ! Also Whisper the wolf ! ^^
I got so excited when I saw yamper/boltund, my very first pokemon run (sword) the second non-starter I caught was a yamper and her name was topaz and she was on my team from then to Leon. Happy memories.
Thank you and i already did the bears, and others animals... you can see it on my previous post 😊
Load More Replies...Yep he is here ! 2nd picture of dogs, right in the middle ! 😁🧐
Load More Replies...idea: “whatever team” for characters who don’t have any defined species (unfortunately I can only think of gonzo and the Warner siblings (animaniacs))
I drew the wolf team 2 years ago... imagine how frustrated I was when I saw Death in Puss in Boots 2, he is such a great villain !!! 🫠😍
Load More Replies...Where is 'Dikkie Dik'? He is very Dutch and very cute...
Nop, she's here ! With a hat :D
Load More Replies...Not yet ahah ! Not sure if there are that many...
Load More Replies...I love this but there is a massive mistake Tigger is not a tiger Tigger is a Tigger
Yes, and pokemons are not animals...But pokemons. But I just couldn't not include them ^^
