ART: Genie Girl


On March 3rd this year, it became exactly fifteen years since I debuted my art on the now long-defunct Wacky World of Erotic Cartoons forums. In Internet years, it's been a lifetime, and I will say I'm mostly content on how things played out with this hobby. My only real gripe is that I was never quite able to learn to produce art very fast, and my sluggishness, as well as my late arrival to the scene, has resulted in several collaborations never quite panning out (although I'm not entirely sure how serious ZONE ever was about working with me on a potential Danny Phantom animation, as it was an off-hand comment on a /co/ thread a long time ago – who knows, it could've purely just been a polite acknowledgement of my art and nothing else). Still, I can happily say that the amount of times I feel I've "phoned it in" have been few and far between.

I've met some great people over the years, formed strong and long-lasting friendships, learned new illustration techniques, participated in commercial work for pay sites, done a few commissions here and there, commissioned a few pics myself, had people in the industry like Derrick J. Wyatt (RIP), Grey DeLisle, Ralph Bakshi and Peter Bagge see and comment on my artistry, and, I hope I am correct about this, helped one Maddie Fenton to become a staple in erotic cartoon fan art. While I'm obviously not the only person to ever draw Maddie and most certainly not the first one, I would really like to think I had some part in her current popularity as a desirable cartoon MILF.

Speaking of desirability...


It is now a tradition that whenever I hit an anniversary, I will draw something with Desiree the (big-titted) Ghost Genie. This time, I missed out the actual anniversary date, but I figured I'd still have to fulfill everyone's wish (heh) and do something with her. I didn't have any plan when going into this, outside one: make her VERY horny. As such, the end result is her literally being hot and bothered, waiting for someone to get it up and put their love into her. deviantART viewers will, sadly, miss out on certain fluids that I'm not allowed to have there.

As I was wrapping up the digital sketch on my Galaxy Tab, I decided to toy around with some of those splatter tools that Infinite Painter offers and whipped up a quick background. When I showed the finished sketch to my friend despojo, he noted that the pic would make for a nice print...

Therefore, I offer you this in MASSIVE resolution, with the text and an opaque background as well as without either, so that you can fuck around and put this offensive crap on a t-shirt or a wall print or whatever you want. Do note, however, that these variants are only available via dA (without liquids) and Art Archive (when updated), so look for them in those places! The images attached to this post are purely samplers, as Blogger does not allow resolutions past 1600 pixels in width/height and compresses all uploaded images, even .PNGs. Just, please, if possible, don't use these to sell bootleg merchandise. Since dA is not allowing me to post what are effectively the complete versions of the pic, you'll have to fetch those from the Art Archive. A link to it can be found at the first post of this blog, although at the moment of writing this, it has not yet been updated to contain this image.

You can also find slightly larger versions on Paheal (here and here), though these are not full working resolution ones.

The "print idea" is also why there's decorative graffiti and a crude attempt at digitally painting the colors on her, as well as all those filters to make the pic look more like an elaborate urban art piece.

Here's to another fifteen years, even if my output will be very low!

ART: The Gloves Stay On


As those of you who have been following me since 2008 know, Dexter's Mom was the character that launched my puberty back in the '90s, thanks to the pool episode where she walks around in a green bikini. Alas, she is also one of those characters that you can very easily draw wrong if you try to stay on-model, and for that reason I've been scrapping most of the sketches I've done of her over the years. A shame, too, since especially in the show's second season, she is quite fetching with her GIGANTIC ASS.

While most of my inspirations usually come from either shows I watch, /co/ threads I browse, discussions I have with my friends or simply browsing random reference screenshots or scans, I think this one was very likely inspired by a delightful Herny piece of Mom displaying her posterior on what I assume to be the family's front lawn (and by accident, too, judging from her expression and the literal pool of mud she's laying in; either that, or there's some freaky pig fetish stuff going on). What I really like about the pic is that not only did Herny manage to make the awful re-designed version of Mom look attractive, he really nailed the extreme proportions she has and the sight of her big butt protruding so high from the ground made me really want to explore the subject matter even further...

In the end, I just went for a basic pounding-from-behind shot with her and Dexter. The alternatives are simply stripped-down variants featuring no dialogue and less various liquids.

I used CMG's S2 designs for the characters, as I believe those are the most appealing ones as well as the "default" designs that everybody knows and loves.


As always, you can find a high-quality alternative of the first picture on Paheal, although I suspect it may not exactly meet the criteria that the site has for uploads; therefore, I don't know how long it'll remain up before it gets taken down... so, hurry up! Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the Art Archive update, which thankfully should be happening very soon.

Next up, a very badly belated 15th anniversary pic... and I bet you can guess who's going to be featured (like always)!

ART: Olga Hits Rock Bottom


A while ago, probably in late March this year if my memory serves me right, those of you who still frequent to 4chan and specifically its /co/ board may remember when the "mini-pitch bible" for the shelved Hey Arnold! continuation/spinoff, The Patakis, was leaked. Unless I am mistaken, this was the first time we got to see and read detailed information about the show beyond Arnold having left the city and Helga being a teenager, as well as the show being "darker" and "more mature" with its themes. Included were character bios for all of the Patakis as well as some additional information about what some of the episodes would've entailed, but for me the biggest attraction was learning about Helga's big sister, Olga. Considering that the vast majority of the few HA! pieces that I've released have centered around her, it's quite obvious which one of the female characters in the show is my favorite to draw.

I will say that overall, I am not a fan of the more serious, Arnold-less direction that The Patakis would've taken and I'm also not too big on Olga's predicament as being essentially a "failure". Having said that, I do suppose the creators thought of that as a nice way to get her back to living with Bob and Miriam and also create more fodder for episodes that could, for instance, deal with her trying to succeed in her new career choice, not to mention further develop what started out as a very strained, if only in a one-sided manner, relationship with Helga.

Anyway, the show didn't happen, but thanks to the leak, we got to see Olga in her new, slutty outfit, complete with high-heeled boots, a mini skirt and a tank top with spaghetti straps. The subject matter of Olga's new interest in acting also made for the most obvious porn parody theme: the casting couch.

The alternative versions feature a version of her without nudity (but with an added panty shot), as well as variants with and without cum.


As usual, you can find HQ versions of these on both Paheal (nude with cum, nude without cum) as well as on the increasingly shittier deviantART (clothed without cum; this one lacks the dialogue/reference to the producer due to dA's recent rule changes likely forced upon them by whatever tyrannical payment processor they are using). As for the clothed pic with cum, you need to wait for the Art Archive update, which hopefully should go up before the 18th of this month.

FUN FACT: the work on this pic started immediately after the mini-pitch bible was leaked, but wasn't finished until around early June, which is about two and a half months later (so yeah, this was started before the Frankie pic from May). I then ended up sitting on it for an additional three months as I got occupied with IRL stuff as I mostly do these days. Good thing, too, because I was able to spot one big mistake in it and fix it before the release.

ART: Frankie Time


(Yes, I know I missed out what was basically my 15th anniversary but it couldn't be helped as I am technically on a hiatus for the foreseeable future due to various things IRL occupying most of my time)

It is not very often that I draw Frankie Foster. This is mostly due to the fact that she's one of those characters who, in general, tends to work better when drawn off-model and those of you who have followed me for a long time also know that, with the exception of some early-in-my-career weirdness in '08 and '09, I rarely like to stray away from attempting to emulate a show or a comic's official style(s). For me, the biggest issue with the on-model version is that basically everything below her waist (her lower body is shaped like the bottom of a pill and her legs are literal sticks) doesn't translate well in cheesecake and/or porn, and I suspect this is also the case for most erotic fan artists.

The other big reason is that Frankie is not easy to draw on-model. I suspect this is partially due to Foster's Home being an early Flash cartoon, meaning a lot of illustrations you see moving are actually vector lines that get re-used and moved around – which, in turn, ensures that in most cases, the characters remain almost rigidly close to their model sheet drawings in many of the basic animation cycles. CMG is also a master at constructing characters from simple geometrical shapes and he has an insanely accurate understanding of proportions, dimensions, distances, negative space etc. It is not hard to draw Frankie's face, but it is incredibly challenging to ensure that her bangs don't come down too much, her nose is at the correct height, her head is just the right shape and so on. I lost count on how many times I had to make adjustments just to Frankie's face, and the initial Galaxy Tab sketch I did had the proportions and the distances completely wrong.

Despite her being a nightmare to draw as an on-model enthusiast, I like Frankie a lot. As for her show... that one I don't care for all that much, or rather where it eventually went, but I am happy that we got her, and I am even happier about her enduring popularity. There are some really talented people in the scene that have honored her: Fern/14BisFluffyZONEGarabatozKing Cheetah (RIP), LHK, Aeolus06KotaokeKyde, CapyDiemBlenderKnightJCM2, Mangamaster, Tobias Whellerteelokay, centinel303Roger BaconBarley Shake... the list goes on. There's no way I can remember all of them, but I'm sure you can think of at least a dozen more that I forgot to mention.

As often is the case, my friend Toonspew helped me out with the dialogue. Make sure to get the high-resolution release on Paheal. Alas, that particular version has an error with Wilt's precum floating detached from his cock, which I didn't notice until after uploading it; this will be fixed when I eventually update the Art Archive with 2018-and-beyond releases, possibly later this year.

So, what's next? Well, there are several sketches I've done but the one I'm currently most interested in finishing is a rather sticky depiction of a pigtailed Bennington College graduate, according to a recently leaked pitch bible...

COMMISSION: Ghost Hunter by Day, Cougar by Night

 


This is my third and final anonymous commission and with this, I am done with commissions for the foreseeable future. Similar to the previous two commissions from this same batch of orders, this one also used anime/manga reference images, the only difference being that this time, the reference images in question were done by an artist called LorianArt. Those of you who know me also know that I am very hesitant in using other people's art as the basis for something I draw (I rarely use pose reference anyway, as I generally feel it results in works that are too derivative and tends to limit one's creativity), so both the commissioner and I made sure to include enough changes in it to separate it from the original pieces, such as having variants with a gangbang and some alterations on Maddie's pose especially in the hardcore version.

If you like these pics and you're interested in wanting to support LorianArt, I am aware that a Patreon page should exists, but I cannot link to it due to Blogger's ToS preventing me from advertising paid adult content off-site.

This is the first time I've toyed around with this trope that you see a lot in some hentai, which is the Wes Anderson-style centered/mirrored shots. In order to achieve this, I literally drew just 50% of Maddie and then flipped a copy of my ink lines, colors and shading and used that to create the rest of her. However, I did make sure to include some alterations, such as her butt cheeks not meeting perfectly together in the center, and the vaginal penetration not showing mirrored fluids. The gangbang variant also includes slightly different positions for both Maddie's hands as well as the fingers of the guy  she's blowing holding her head down.

This commission features the single most alternatives I've ever created, totalling at 11 on top of the original:


So, what's next? Who knows! I'm still on hiatus, effectively, which is partially why these orders took a lot of time to fulfill and why my art production schedule is so unpredictable these days. I do have some sketches lined up, some even partially inked, but at this point it's impossible to mention any specific order. There is still unfinished material dating all the way back to 2011 that I've yet to finish as well as some new material featuring characters I've not drawn before, and also familiar characters I've not drawn for a over a decade. I don't think I'll be running out of material anytime soon, but it is rather the strict limitations of time and energy that may force me to "pick and choose," and partially due to this I'd rather not go into details on upcoming pictures, as I don't want to let people down by promising to draw a specific character, only to then abandon that for something completely different.

As always, get the high-resolution versions on Rule 34 Paheal by searching for my artist tag, dlt.
