Artist: starpowerrr
Featured Fan Artist: Rainbow Brite can be cute, but she can also be very glamorous, as you can see in this drawing done by “Starpowerrr”. By her side is Krys, also dashing but not as dolled up as Rainbow, with her adorable dress and doe eyes. Starpowerrr has also drawn Shy Violet in this adorable style which can be seen on her blog (click image to view).
If you go to her blog you can see that the artist loves everything colorful, sparkled and cute! This drawing is truly a sweet treat! Good work!

Artist: Jerzy Drozd
Featured Fan Artist: Drawing Rainbow Brite is not as easy as some people may think. To capture the essence of childhood can be hard. Comic Artist Jerzy Drozd decided to draw her one day to get his creative juices going. He was able to get such details as the color castle, her color belt, those timeless moon boots and famous cheek star just about perfect, yet still in his own style. While the sketch was just an outline, which he says he will color later, it’s nice to see that our favorite character still challenges artists, and for fans reminds us that she still inspires.

Artist: Cookiepoppet
Featured Fan Artist: We have featured this artist previously, back in October of 2009, but it’s nice to go back and see them draw our favorite character again! This time DeviantArtist Cookiepoppet drew Rainbow Brite and her Sprite Twink. The sweet faces on both characters capture your heart every time, and the lovely textures make the scene dance with joy. It is an honor to feature this artist once again. Very well done!

His long mane being caught in the wind is breath taking and it’s nice to know his beauty can still be captured by such a skillful artist. Well done!

Artist: Robin E Kaplan
Featured Fan Artist: This month’s featured artist is quite the charmer. She was kind enough to allow us to feature her for this month, and we thought it best to allow her to tell you how this piece came about in her own words:
I’m a children’s book illustrator who does nerdy comic book show stuff on the side, and I was going through a week of re-discovering Rainbow Brite a while back, and that piece was the result. I’ve always been inspired by the really charming character designs in that show, and of course the fact that it was a ‘girl show’ with plenty of action and adventure. Also the best terrible villains ^.~
This art is beautiful to say the least. It seems to grasp the joy and playfulness of our childhoods in the design and small touches. It is as though each of the character’s personalities is shown in their poses! If you like this print, click the picture above and you can order a copy of it from Etsy in a variety of sizes.

Artist: Elaine Snowden
Featured Fan Artist: Trick or Treat! Rainbow’s always seem sweet! This month’s featured Fan Artist is Elaine Snowden (Neale of Deviant Art), who drew an updated yet mischievous Rainbow Brite tossing Star Sprinkles at an unknown foe. Is it Murky Dismal off the panel? Perhaps just a gloom cloud. One thing is for sure, it chases your gloom away! You can’t help but adore the textures, colors and whimsical lines of this piece. It’s magic!

Artist: Hinoraito
Featured Fan Artist: OMG DOUBLE RAINBOW! This month’s featured Fan Artist is Hinoraito of Deviant Art, who drew two very different Rainbow Brite fan pictures. One is a sweet classic style chibi Rainbow Brite, gleeful and cute! They other a regular pop princess with modern updated costume, but still a few accents that echo the old style; mainly the ponytail, thick bangs, the rainbow sleeves, boots, and star accented hair and belt.
Both styles are very different, but they still shout “RAINBOW POWER”!

Artist: Allie Hilditch
Featured Fan Artist: This month’s featured Fan Artist is Allie Hilditch (LimpingGnome of Deviant Art), who combined two of the most colorful cartoons in years to make a sonic rainboom!! Rainbow Brite riding Rainbow Dash from the new My Little Pony. Ponies and Bronies will agree that it’s a match made in rainbow heaven! The art itself, beyond just being cute is also very well done. It has rich color, and textures considering it wall drawn with colored pencils and markers. Drop by the artist’s page and see her other art which are just as nicely done…and CUTE!
