TEXT: Fan Fic Review (Double): My Life as a Teenage Von Neumann Device and Alien Urges and Affections - When Misty Fell for Shell, Part 1 (FOREWORD)

NOTE: This isn't the actual review yet. Just a foreword. The review will be made when I've completed reading the last two chapters of the second fic, although I still prioritize drawing before writing so it may take a while.

When I finally stopped lurking around and decided to show up the world what I had been doing for 11 years, it didn't take long before I met some people who wanted to showcase their works to me. However, instead of artwork I was greeted with huge-ass documents, telling spicy stories of famous toon characters. I said to myself, "I wonder if I should start reading fan fiction again".

Back in '99 and '00, I used to be a regular at a South Park fan site called Mr. Hat's Hell-Hole, where I used to read quite a few fics, often written by teenage girls. I used to enjoy these stories, although now that I think of it they were pretty much OC-ridden garbage (anyone remember the red-haired female cousin of Kyle's, who was basically a Rule 63 version of Eric Cartman and also a witch? Yeah, the fics were that bad... I wonder what her name was). I eventually lost my interest in 2001 when the quality of the fics started dropping (yes, that actually was possible) and I got past "The Stupid Age" and realized how awful the overall writing was.

During the following years I joined SWEF. During frequent checks to see if Shabby Blue had posted new artwork, I eventually had a peek at the fan fiction they were offering. There were some pretty nice lemons that contrasted the lenghty South Park fics by not telling a big story but rather delivering well-written hardcore sex scenes. A lot of the stories depicted rape scenes and sexual domination (but not actual BSDM). I eventually got tired of them too after the trend started to shift towards writing longer, more epic stories with lots of OCs and the stories started to become carbon copies of each other. This was in 2004 or so and after that, I've avoided written fan fiction.

Until last summer, that is.

The majority of the fics I was recently offered to read were MLaaTR fics, although there's also one big TFOP fic which is still incomplete. I went through some of these fics and... well, let's just say that overall I'd still like to stick to rather making fun of cliché-ridden fan stories than reading them. There was one fic so horrifyingly bad it almost succeeded in making me give up my noble attempt to start reading fan fics again for the third time - and that's the fic I happened to read first. I'm not giving out the name of the fic nor who wrote it out of courteousity but I have to mention that there are many others that dislike it and they silently addressed their sympathies to me after I read that damn thing.

However, I won't be reviewing this monstrousity. I'm here to showcase the best two fics of the bunch. Stay tuned for a double review of Toonspew's My Life as a Teenage Von Neumann Device and Sadarax's Alien Urges and Affections - When Misty Fell for Shell (chapters 1 to 9)!

DF: 'sup again, /co/

Another bunch of drawfaggotree. This time it didn't go so well, as I wasn't really prepared for Round 2 so soon. You have to be in a certain mood for this to work.

Anyway, the requests were: more Frankie, more Vicky, more Spectra/Wuya (starting to see a pattern here?) and Sam with Ember. I also drew two "filler" pics, which were quick monochrome close-ups of Vegeta, with the second pic depicting him as super saiyan (as requested).

I decided to call it quits earlier because 1) the quality of my artwork started to shift towards QUALITY, which is embarrassing and 2) I have to wake up early, so I can't stay up as late as last night.

Until we meet again! That is, tomorrow. No, I won't be drawing but I'm a regular there so I may post a message or two. As for future drawfaggotree events, well... I'd say I need a long break. These things are fun but burn lots of time.

DF: Still Alive

Yeah, the thread's still around. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue drawfagging tonight since I have to catch up with my primary art - that is, to deliver you some Frankie Foster.

Here's a quick vector trace one Anon posted on /co/ with my permission:

Thanks!

Oh, and here are some more /co/ goodies I found (the first one being the Frankie pic which started the thread, so yeah, it wasn't originally my thread):

DF: 'sup /co/

in b4 gb2/v/


EDIT (9/25): Here are the original descriptions for these images I drew:


"Herrimen."

dasheer: /r/ pic of Frankie as a tank.
dlt: I tried to draw that but then I just lost it. Have this unfunny shit instead (over 9000 hours in MS Paint etc.). No, this isn't the drawing I was talking about earlier.


"Drunk Desiree"

onlyx'sfan: Ah. I see.
....
/r/ing drunk Desiree :3.
dlt: Damnit, you should've said that earlier. Now look what you made me do :( (On a sidenote, this is probably the first time I've drawn Desirée not being topless, lol)
I'm not much of a drawfag so excuse the lack of quality. I'm more of those slowpokes who'll draw one pic for like a month. Also, thanks for the warm welcome :)


"Jenny for /co/"

Kastere Lumbermouth: Frankie. ANYTHING with Frankie. Possibly Jenny as well.
dlt: I tried to post this earlier but nothing happened. Timed out, I guess. Here's some XJ-9. Anyway, I'm not much of a MLaaTR artist, I guess the banner for my blog is a bit misleading. I just can't figure out how to draw a believable robot vag00.


"Maddie for /co/"

hypno: listen to this man (onyx'sfan) and add Maddie
onlyx'sfan: God, I hope my joke doesn't start a flood of /r/ that drives dlt away.
...Drunk Desiree and Maddie would kick ass, though.
dlt: Well, since nobody's looking anymore, might as well stop this and get back to drawing Frankie. Here's some Mega MILF.


"Spectra/Wuya"

Anonymous: eh? (posts a double feature of Wuya by Linno and Spectra as Las Vegas showgirl by DarkDP)
dlt: Just some bullshit scenario I came up. Forgive the plagiarization of Linno's Wuya, I think he draws her hotter than she looks in the series (at least this is the conclusion I came to after a quick Google image search). I guess I now see how much freaking fun D. J. Coffman has with his Will Draw Anything, only he gets paid $2 per piece and he uses a Cintiq :P


"The Sequel to my recent TFOP pic: BAD END"

Bluejr: Well my only request would be anything with Tootie from FOP but I know she is not your favorite character.... But if you would a pic of Tootie and Veronica punching Timmy for last night act.....?
Anonymous: Veronica holding him while Tootie punches him wearing 'Hulk Hands'(R) would be amusing as hell.
Bluejr: yes
dlt: The Tootie/Veronica pic may upset some shippers but what do I care, lol
Anonymous: All the more reason
Bluejr: LOL you forget where you are?
dlt: Nah, just thinking about That One Place where I also post my art. Then again, I've received some helpful advice from a bunch of other artists there so I pretty much know where to draw the line. I have to go AFK soon, it's been fun and I think we could have another round sometime. I'll upload all the drawings to my blog so you can get them from there when this thread dies. Anyway, I can take one more request if you're willing to suggest. The Tootie/Veronica pic will be next.
dlt: FALCON PAAAAANCH!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll decide about the final pic in a sec.


"Eris for /co/"

Anonymous: Any chance to convence you to do some Eris as the final?
dlt: Eris from Billy & Mandy then? Okay then. BTW I'm not a fan of that cartoon, Billy's just so fucking annoying.
While I'm drawing, anyone care to explain why she looks like a slutty toga party entrant?
Anonymous: She's the Greek goddess of chaos
dlt: ...and there. Took a little bit longer because I've never drawn her before.
if there's any interesting threads around to post stupid comments to then I'll be seeing you again tomorrow.


Oh, and one guy thought I drew the softcore Spectra/Jazz pic by Levelord. I'm flattered!

ART: Three's a Company

It is done. My first TFOP pic and good old hardcore action, too. Here we have an older Timmy Turner having fun with the two TFOP girls I personally feel are the hottest of the bunch. Veronica's pretty mad that she got left out of the whole fun and her suffering seems to bring sadistic pleasure to Vicky :D

It took me forever to draw but I think it eventually came out exactly the way I wanted it to be. Try not to get distracted by the impossible perspective on Timmy - infact, blame Butch Hartman for a character design that doesn't work in all angles. Also, no shadows because the original show doesn't have them unless they suddenly want dramatic scenes. Instead, have some window effects, lol

Hope you like it.

EDIT (one hour later): just wanted to mention some things about the pic. Note that Vicky's philtrum is not visible because I thought leaving it out would make her hotter. Also note that she's based on her "18-year-old" appearance from the TV movie Channel Chasers, which is why she has an ear ring... which looks like it was actually stolen from Jade Fontaine from Steve Kuntz's mediocre webcomic PvP. Oh, and Trixie's pose comes from this movie.

SCRAPS: Fairy Fishes

The upcoming TFOP pic has been slightly delayed. I do have good news, though: it has finally entered colouring phase! This is usually done pretty quickly, although I'm still preparing to give it three more days to be finally done.

In the meantime, here's a teaser of the pic: a black and white, inked, vector traced and digitally polished version of Cosmo and Wanda from the pic!

Note that all the stuff in gray is just placeholder shit.

Edit (14/9): some things that need to be announced... first of all, I won't be drawing a comic about two pseudo-goldfish having sex, nor there will be loli. Second, I'm delaying the pic even more, make it five or six days! This is because I think I'd like to try a new colouring/shading method.

LOL FAME

I know, old news but noticed it just now. Wichobot posted Girlfriends, Too on The Teenage RoBlog X in August 15th. I'm honored, man!
