I wasn't sure where this kind of thread belongs, so I put it in General Discussions (I thought about putting it in Fan Fiction and Fan Art, but then thought the title might be misleading).
After seeing the recent Tough Pigs contest where fans sent in drawings they made as kids (or was it current kids sending in their Muppet drawings), and seeing newer drawings done in the style of a kids drawing, making it look like kids drew obscure Muppet stuff, I have been wondering, have you all ever drawn pictures of the more obscure Muppets?
I have drawn several Muppet pictures over the years, but I started to draw lots of obscure characters and stuff around 1993 and beyond. Before that, my Muppet drawings were limited to the Muppets who appeared on Mupet Babies (in both kid and adult form) and the Sesame Street characters Big Bird, Snuffy, Oscar, Cookie Monster, Grover, Herry, Ernie, Bert, Placedo Flamingo, Hoots, Elmo, Gladys, Buster, and I think Biff, Sully, Guy Smiley, Simon Soundman, and Slimey.
Soon, I started drawing pictures of more and more obscure characters, including Doglion, Lips, Lew Zealand, Thog, Droop, Digit, Lindberg, the giant chicken from the Nancy Walker episode, and more. I don't know what happened to the majority of these drawings. I haven't seen many of them in years.
I remember drawing several pictures with large crowds of Muppets. I would often draw pictures inspired by certain scenes. For example, I drew a picture of that ending shot from the opening number from The Muppets Go to the Movies, and make drawings inspired by scenes from The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years (often putting in characters who weren't in the special, like Thog). I think I've drawn pictures remisncent of the carol singing scenes from A Muppet Family Christmas. I would also make drawings of the Muppets at the beach, or in a christmas setting, or playing basketball.
I also made my own Muppet books, drawing several pictures and writing things. Sometimes these books were just pictures. On New Years Eve, 1993, I made some sort of Muppet book, I can't even remember if it was specifically about new years (though I didn't write anything; it was just drawings). I didn't put any of the same characters in multiple pages. But I remember putting the following characters in it: Kermit (posed like he was posed in the song Get Along), Fozzie, Gonzo, Rizzo, Oscar, Big Bird, Snuffy, Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, Grover, Herry, Elmo, Bunsen, Beaker, Biff, Sully, The Swedish Chef, the Martians, Slimey, Bruno, Animal, Scooter, Rowlf, and I think the Fraggles, Sweetums, Thog, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, Lips, and Louis Kazagger.
I also made my own books based on The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Rock Music with the Muppets, Gonzo Presents Mupet Weird Stuff, It's the Muppets: More Muppets, Please! and attempted (but can't remember if I'd finished them) The Muppets Valentine Show, and The Muppet Show episodes with Milton Berle (which I'd titled "Fozzie's scarred") and Peter Selers (which I'd titled "Something Strange", referring to Bunsen's invention), and I think It's the Muppets: Meet the Muppets. More on these later.
