Cartoon character design: rubber-hose, flat, Saturday-morning

Cartoon characters — a round-bodied cat with pie-cut eyes, white gloves, noodle arms and enormous shoes, caught mid-dance with one leg kicked out and a musical note floating beside its ear, a 1930s rubber-hose cartoon with bouncy tapering linework, inky black fills and a soft film grain over the whole drawing

Reading 1Rubber-hose
Reading 2Modern flat
Reading 3Saturday-morning kid

An original cartoon figure in three lineages, nothing from any studio: a round-bodied dancing cat with noodle arms, a tall flat-design walker with a coffee, and a spiky-haired Saturday-morning kid with a skateboard. Each rendered in 1930s rubber-hose ink, modern flat vector, and animation cel. Ask for a robot instead, a bakery mascot, or a whole family, and the same three eras of style carry it.

  • a mascot or brand character design
  • a sticker or t-shirt design
  • a poster or wall art print
  • a children's book character reference

Frequently asked questions

What does this pack actually look like?
Nine designs of three original cartoon characters — a rubber-hose cat, a flat-design walker, and a Saturday-morning kid — none from any studio, in three lineages of style.
Can I get a robot, or a mascot for a business?
Yes — the direction field takes any variation, including a robot, a bakery mascot, or a whole cartoon family.
What's the difference between the three styles?
Rubber-hose is 1930s bouncy ink linework in black and white, flat design is clean geometric shapes with no outline, and cel uses a thick outline with flat saturated colour.
Is this based on an existing cartoon studio's character?
No — every figure here is an original design; the lineage is the art style, not a borrowed character.
Could I use one of these as a business mascot?
Yes — the flat design style especially is built to read cleanly at small size, suited to a logo or mascot use.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
