COMMISSION: Beyond Cheerleading /// Perked Up Kendall

I usually try to separate commission-related art and regular art into separate posts but since this blog is mostly unused these days and serves primarily as a way for people to find and download my Art Archive (which I'll likely update later this year/early next year to v1.1), I figured I'd post these two pieces under the same post so that the earlier one (the commission) doesn't go unnoticed.

 

 

Third commission for ellampalli92. After a brief foray into Total Drama Island, we're back with the tried-and-tested duo of Paulina and Star from Danny Phantom! This one was in the making for somewhere around two years, with various interruptions ranging from mild to quite serious and life-changing causing huge delays. COVID-19 also didn't help.

 

The original concept was simply "Paulina and Star as strippers, plus two female background characters waiting tables and offering lapdances in the foreground." The additional characters were picked by the commissioner from screenshots I offered to him, taken from the episode 'Beauty Marked' where Danny and Tucker are selected to be the judges of a teenage beauty pageant. He ended up choosing Ashley, the dark-skinned girl with big hair, and Brittany, who's like a '90s California babe with a nose from an Ancient Roman statue. Both characters also happened to have canonically big tits, though I ended up exaggerating Brittany's a little bit.

 

Other than the afore-mentioned description and the identities of the background girls, I was given full freedom on doing whatever I wanted with the pic. Of course, I had to go for a cowgirl theme for Paulina and have her twirl around the pole. The poses were imagined by yours truly, and actually researched with real strippers well before the coof hit! This is all thanks to my pal MechaGhidorah, who "made the ultimate sacrifice" by conducting a field study by having professional exotic dancers carefully observe six rough sketches each depicting different poses and then proceed to pick out ones they deemed to be the best as well as the most realistic/believable.

The background elements are more-or-less based on movies such as Showgirls (1995) and Striptease (1996), as well as various striptease contests and clips I've watched since the early 2000s. The glitter effect for the curtains, however, is authentic to the DP art style as the episodes 'Lucky in Love' and 'Pirate Radio' both contain examples of how to do that effect. Indeed, I actually raided my DP DVD box set and went through probably close to 20 different episodes, taking screenshots and hunting down references, including the DP way of drawing a United States Dollar bill.

The additional characters (as in, the clientele) consist of Danny, Tucker, the businessman Danny saves from Desiree in 'What You Want' and an original creation, which I based mostly on Dan Hedaya's bad guy roles in '80s action movies, with a dash of aesthetics from the fashions in Rising Sun (1993). Brittany, who's giving a lapdance to the OC, is wearing an outfit heavily inspired by the infamous cover of Toshiki Yui's Hot Tails #6. I did forget to add the gloves but then again, if you search my blog for the Heather Asplund pic I did for ThaMan many years ago (look up for the 'johnny bravo' tag), you'll see that this wasn't the first time I've paid tribute to this tantalizing lingerie design.

The original commission was not supposed to have this elaborate of a lighting but I ended up having trouble figuring out how to pull it off with just regular DP shading, hence I went back to the commission I did way back in 2011 for Aeolus, featuring Chip Skylark from The Fairly OddParents doing a rock concert with Ember McLain, and literally lifted the design in which I did the stage lights and their effects from that pic, and then proceeded to toy around with various blending options and colour layers on top of all the characters until I was satisfied with the end results.

 

 

This one's a short piece I couldn't resist finishing between commissions since it was such an easy piece to do and I had already begun work for it way back in 2011. Some of those who frequent /co/ (or at least used to in the early 2010s) might recall me once popping by a thread and posting an annoyingly small, censored WiP of this image and then failing to deliver in the end. Well, one of you apparently contacted me via deviantART and proceeded to inquire me about the status of the pic and made a plea for me to finish it. I usually don't do requests and I'm honestly in a bad spot these days to even draw in general but... what the hell, might as well make someone's wish come true, I suppose? So, here you go.

 

Also, dialogue by Toonspew. Thanks again, buddy.

 

Now, to piss you off again: this pic was originally part of a multi-series image set of Kick and Kendall fucking like rabbits in various "extreme" poses but I will make no promises of ever finishing those, since only a rushed sketch exists of image #2 and that's about it. It might happen if I ever decide to finish Kick Buttowski, but I don't see that happening anytime soon either (even though I admit enjoying the show). Sorry about that!

Get the higher resolution versions of both pics HERE and HERE. Just remember to have your anti-virus on, adblocks and script blockers enabled etc. I don't know how much Rule 34 Paheal has pop-ups or other unwanted baggage but that's generally something you should expect from sites like it. It's a good idea to play it safe. If you are unwilling to risk it, you can also wait 'til early next year, when I update my Art Archive to include these pics.

Hope you enjoy these pics! Next up, three commissions from a person who wishes to remain anonymous. Check back in sometime closer to the end of 2021 for those.
