COMMISSION: Summer 'Dew

Commission for JaviDLuffy. This is the first time I've drawn Agent Honeydew. The summer dress here is based on this design. At one point I suggested merging it with this '50s style polka dot dress I saw in an episode of Miami Vice but when I couldn't make it to look right I dropped the idea. Special thanks goes to ManiacalCarrot for suggesting a background setting to go with the image and giving me advice regarding wind direction.

Despite being a big fan of Dexter's Laboratory I never really paid much attention to this character, opting to doodle characters like Dexter's Mom and Dee Dee instead. I liked her design a lot and I also enjoyed some of the rather dubious jokes they made about her relationship with Monkey but I was never really a fan of the 'Dial M for Monkey' segments they did; I wanted to see more of Dexter's wacky adventures! I guess the creators figured this out as well since both 'Dial M for Monkey' and 'The Justice Friends' were toned down to almost nothingness for the show's second season.

Nevertheless, Honeydew is a beauty and I'm glad to have finally honoured her.

COMMISSION: Teacher's Wet

A joint commission for Toongrowner and Sniper Tomcat depicting the hottest teacher American animation has to offer. Sniper also consulted me with the pic and came up with the idea of using a reflection to show us something we wouldn't otherwise see in this situation ;)

To prepare for this commission, I took out my PPG DVD box set and intended to watch a few Ms. Keane episodes from the last three seasons. In the end, however, I ended up watching the entire series but hey, it's a damn good cartoon and it still manages to captivate me (much better than Dexter's Lab, my other '90s favorite).

During my marathon I tried to find reference for Ms. Keane's bathroom but alas, they never showed it. As for the rest of her apartment, we only see it in the episode 'Keen on Keane', where it's revealed that, probably as a contrast to Professor Utonium's bright and pretty early '60s decor, Ms. Keane seems to be stuck in the '70s with earth tones and muted colours everywhere. As someone who loves the '80s/early '90s and pastel tones, 1970s visuals are usually something I don't care to see unless it makes sense in the context (for example, I can't imagine watching a movie like Shaft or Coffy without all the '70s decor, I want to see it there).

As you're hopefully all aware, I usually aim for historical accuracy when it comes to drawing fan art (i.e. if the show takes place in the early '90s, I don't draw characters using smartphones). However, I did make an exception this time and gave Keane a more early '00s style bathroom since I found the '70s ones usually looking very grimy and messy, mostly because of the colours used in them. I still tried to make it look like it's from the actual show, though. I also gave Keane some cheesy towels with upper and lower case letters because she's a teacher. That's the joke. And yes, that's Sebamed shower gel there in the background, modeled after the one I have in my own bathroom.

My hit counter died

I don't know why but for some reason, the damn thing stopped working a few days ago. I can't remember exactly how many hits I had but I'm starting a new counter from 364,000 because those are the first three numbers I remember seeing on it the last time I took a look.

COMMISSION: Bass Layin'

Commission for Sniper Tomcat. This is the first proper Phineas and Ferb picture I've done (the first one was a crude MS Paint doodle of Candace with 'awesomeface'). I have pretty much zero experience with the show's style so it was somewhat of a challenge. While Sniper did provide me with sufficient amount of reference (thanks!) it turned out they never showed Vivian's bedroom in the show. The overall colour scheme, however, is lifted from the screencaps I got. I assume it's her house in those, although I'm not 100% certain.

I also did some research using the PnF Wiki to learn about her so I could perhaps give the image a title that somehow reflects the character (apparently, she plays a double bass so I made an awful pun about bass line). I also learned that she's the mother of Isabella (though the shape of her head is also a dead giveaway) so I doodled some photographic portraits of her there. If you take a closer look at the framed photo hanging above the bed, you'll see the initials of a particularly diligent PnF fan artist ;)

I'm pretty happy how the pic turned out, seeing how it is based on the second sketch I made of Vivian (and thus is the second time I drew the character). It is also a pleasure to  draw something different than TFOP or DP for a change, not that I hate drawing in those styles (on the contrary, I'm probably overdoing it).

I know you all probably expected the Keane pic so I'm sorry to have disappointed you. It's coming, though, and to quote one long-haired weirdo from a 21st century cinematic disaster, "Don' worree abou' eet!"
