I wondered which accents the YTer was referring to, so I decided to ask a Spanish-speaking friend for their insight,

"*I have to base my opinion on the way they talk, because when they dub it they don't use expressions from other places (it's kinda, like, neutral).
I think [Pixie]: it's Mexican, and [Jinks] might be Cuban or Dominican.

"[Foxbusters] won two major awards in 2000; a BAFTA for 'Best Animated Series' and the other was from the British Animation Awards for 'Best Children's Series'"
-wikipedia.com

Interesting. :3

Anyway, this scribble was a bit harder than the others, mostly because I had to freehand Genghis. By 'freehand', I mean drawing without underlying spheres/guidelines. I opted to do this to reduce the need to erase unwanted lines (as doing so creates dust/splotches).
I wouldn't care so much (this is just a dump, after all), but I feel bad about the last dumpling, in which I didn't finish one of the entries (Squadcar). ...That's lazy, and I should know better ...and explains why these sketches look a bit more polished than the others (it's compunction).

Sims was both simple and large enough to make an undersketch for, but Genghis was not (thus explaining why Sims looks better here).
Additionally, quickies are often (but not always) redrawn screenshots.
For ACEO, I tend to draw the subject in a pose I don't see them in (i.e., Butch dancing like Michael Jackson), making the drawing more 'original' (I'm an artist, after all, not a Xerox machine). :3

*a typical quickie takes between two and ten minutes to sketch (before clean-up), depending on detail.
Contrariwise, a single-subject ACEO requires at least 45 minutes---some have taken well over an hour (yes, I suck---a Korean animator could redraw most every ACEO I have in my gallery in less than a work day ...and the result would be several times better

...no, I'm not exaggerating,

"Animators with over 15 year experience can hit over 100 frames per day" -quora.com

As of this date, I have 177 draws in my FurAffinity ...in the ten years I've been there, I would have 365,000 in said gallery, if I were competent.

And, no, this isn't apples to oranges: my subjects were designed for animation (I draw TV characters). :3

Either way, that's a sobering thought... what to do about it? ...I know!). :P

*pops open another beer; plays 'Bring it All Back' by S Club 7 ...the sun returns; bluebirds sing*

There we go!

...Anyway,

6. Marsha. Yes, she's a marshmallow ...and she sings.

...Hm. You know, this sketch dumpling has an unintended theme of 'natural enemies' going on: dog-cat/rabbit; cat-mouse/rabbit; *chicken-mouse; fox-chicken/mouse/rabbit...
