ART: The Perfect Present

This one's a quickie I made in late February for Sniper Tomcat's birthday:


I think it was published on WWOEC forums around March by Sniper himself but not anywhere else.

I'll start working on those commissions on Monday :)

ART/VECTOR TRACE: Paulina Is Pretty

On February 10th, LLtoon showed me this screencap from the Danny Phantom episode "Lucky in Love":


My first reaction was "fxfbltrppht".

My second reaction, however, was to create a quick pin-up directly based on the pic. This time I consciously decided to trace most of Paulina's body from the pic, although I decided to flip her face horizontally, slightly exaggerated her curves and made her clothes more revealing. I completed the pic in a few days and then proceeded to make an alternative nude version. A few days ago I returned for the pic and decidedly made a third alternative version depicting Paulina in her one-piece swimsuit.


The title is play on words "Pretty Paulina", which is the name of an erotic Danny Phantom fan comic by DarkDP.

This pic and its alternative versions were supposed to be part of exclusive art included in an art bundle which I essentially aborted to be able to concentrate on commissions. I have only showed it to a handful WWOEC members before and I asked them not to publish it or pass it on to others, so it should be new to most of you. However, the pic I originally premiered was in a much lower resolution as it wasn't really inteded for the public.

I hope you like it!


EDIT (the next day): I've reuploaded all three versions of the Paulina pin-up. I made the change suggested by GemLord into the swimsuit version of the pic, plus I cleaned up some "dirt" (accidental pixels) from the other two variants. I was tempted to start creating even more alternative versions of the pic but I had to restrain myself from doing so, otherwise I'd once again be stuck fucking around with one pic for an indefinite period of time. Maybe later this year...

DP Orgy Pic: The Aftermath

Now that Danny's Fantasy is out and I've slept over to the next day, I'm able to think more clearly and start going through some of the feedback I've gotten. Here's a bunch of notes and thoughts about all this:

* some of you were shocked when I mentioned that I had been thinking about quitting. I wondered why, because I stated that I was not going to do so. Then I took another look at my post and noticed I had forgotten the word "not" from it. Instead, it read that I will be quitting. This is not the case. I am NOT quitting, just toning down the amount I spend with my art (I don't want it to dominate my life as happened with the orgy pic). Anyway, my bad :P

* Danny was supposed to have a speech bubble too, but I eventually decided against it as it'd cover up a lot of space

* Sam is supposed to have a record player on her desk, but I left it out because I'm lazy :P

* the colours are 95% based on the actual episodes. Even though I could've used ready colour batches for characters I had drawn before, I decided against it as I wasn't happy with some of my original choices (e.g. how Ember looks in my pic of her). The sole exceptions are Desirée and parts of Danny (Fenton) - their colours are from my earlier works

* this pic is not a statement against Danny/Sam 'shipping.

* one viewer noted that Lydia's mohawk is placed sideways and that it is most likely a goof. This is not the case as that's how it really is drawn in the actual show too:

Go figure :P

* speaking of Lydia, there are at least three "easter eggs" hidden amongst her tattoos. You may want to check out the hi-res version of the pic to properly able to spot each one of them

* here's a list of the above-mentioned easter eggs:

- MAX KORN, a MAD Magazine in-joke, found on Lydia's back (only partially visible, which means it can also be read as XXX PORN - I totally did that on purpose)
- a ghost from the classic arcade game Pac-Man, found on Lydia's right calf
- Lambda logo from Half-Life video game series, found near Lydia's right ankle (partially obscured by Danny's aura, so it's quite difficult to spot unless you check out the high-res version)
- a pentagram, right between the Lambda logo and the Pac-Man ghost

However, the duck-billed platypus on Lydia's arm is not an easter egg - that was actually in the show!

* Lydia is missing her nose ring. I left it out on purpose as I didn't really like how it looked when viewed from side

* the method I constructed the pic was that I drew multiple (I guess it would be around 9-10) different, smaller sketches which I then combined in Photoshop. After that I inked each sketch on a different layer and I also coloured each layer separately

* Some alternative lines for Sam:

"What the fuck, Danny? None of those names are mine!"
"This is the last time I am going to say it, Danny. No more crack."
"You haven't forgotten my name, have you?"
"If I don't hear my name soon, it's back to sticking your dick in the Fenton Thermos!"

* Desirée's name is written in the biggest letters for a few reasons: first of all, she's my favourite of the ghost girls and second, she's easily the centerpiece of the actual orgy section of the pic

* I consumed lots of energy drinks during the process of making this pic. During the two months I worked on the pic most intensively, I estimate that I emptied nearly 90 half liter bottles of energy drink. Not very healthy (I immediately halted consuming them the day after the pic was published)!

* at least one person thought about going back to Danny Phantom after seeing my pic. My advice: if you have really fond memories of the show, then consider not watching it again. I know it because I used to think it was one of the top contemporary Nick cartoons at the time I started watching it and when I went back to it again to prepare myself for the pic, I was surprised to find it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered :P the babes are hot, I give you that, but otherwise DP is a mediocre cartoon

* I'll be able to start with the commissions in 1-1½ weeks. I still have one more release to finish during that time

* there's going to be some changes to the site: the poll will be removed completely until I can find an alternative one that cannot be abused by anyone (including myself), Hottie Appreciation Box will switch from monthly updates to quarterly, Random Crap might be removed and the site layout will be changed to something different. I'll also be adding a new banner soon-ish


I might make some additions to this post later on if something comes up.

ART: Danny's Fantasy


No, you're not hallucinating. That really is the orgy pic. However, it's the smaller resolution release because the original .PNG version was slightly over 3 megabytes in size, so... yeah. I actually tried to create .JPEG copies but I was not able to retain the overall quality. I was probably doing it wrong, but whatever.

Of course, I made these alternative versions, without cum and/or pubes:


High-res pics were originally uploaded to Vulomedia, but since it's dead and gone, they aren't currently available.

I can't believe I've finally managed to complete this fucker. In the end it had become somewhat of a time-consuming nuisance that really made me rethink about spending all my free time scribbling toon porn. While I'm definitely NOT going to quit drawing toonrotica, I'll most likely tone down the time I spent for it after I've finished all the commissions and I'm definitely not going to draw another huge orgy pic anytime soon (perhaps in 201X or something).

Anyway, enough whining! The pic is out and hopefully you'll like it :) also, if you find something you consider to be a mistake, please inform me as it's probably never too late to fix it.

As an extra, I'll throw a comparison between the original Danny's Dream from 2006, the revised sketch from last year, the first attempt of the ghost girl orgy and the final pic:


Coming up next: HUEG

REFERENCE: Danny's room

I'm currently creating the secondary background for the DP orgy pic, meant to be the scenery for the Danny/Sam part. I originally envisioned Danny's room to be the place for love-making, but right now I'm switching it to Sam's place, as I feel it is more "sexier" in a certain way.

I did manage to draw a few posters and some tiles, plus the rough outlines of Danny's closet. Here's a snippet of it, presented in the original working resolution:

The Promised


Looks like I'll be able to keep my promise and have the pic ready by the end of this week...
