ART: Dress Like an Egyptian

Okay, it's January 2nd but I guess it's better than nothing. If I didn't have all the problems during the boxing week, you'd gotten a much more elaborate pic much earlier. Maybe next time!

I've recently been rewatching random episodes of Danny Phantom with DarkDP. The idea is mainly to get inspired for new artwork and also see if my opinion regarding some of the eps have changed after not seeing them for a long period. 'King Tuck' from season 2 is one of those episodes that I negletted for a long time because I found it to be over the top and silly. However, DarkDP insisted that I give it a chance, so I finally decided to watch it on the morning of New Year's Eve. Sure, there are lots of weird moments in it, plus the ever-so-annoying Hartman trope of using the reset button at the end of the episode, but I gotta admit that it was visually refreshing.

One of the things that really caught my attention was Sam's "ancient Egyptian" look. In the end of 'King Tuck', Sam retains memories of what happened during the episode. My pic uses that as a base and elaborates that Sam eventually had a similar dress made for future use. Cue New Year's Eve 2011, the trio going to a costume party and while Danny and Tucker appear as Marty McFly and Agent J, Sam appears as a the jewel of the Nile (and no, it has nothing to do with that 1985 sequel to Romancing the Stone, I just mean she looks pretty). I know that this would've been much more suitable as a Halloween pic but after all the problems I've recently had I really don't care.

Again, Happy New Year 2012 to everyone! Let's make it a good one.

REFERENCE: Sam the Egyptian

There's an animation error visible on Sam's feet: instead of a thick, black stripe there's a really thin line. Also, they cropped the top of her head off in the original episode, that's not my doing.

2012 will be happening in slightly over twelve hours. I've completed a new sketch for the occasion, although New Year's Eve celebration will make sure I won't be able to complete it before the year changes. Of course, if I look at the pic again tomorrow and find it to be of subpar quality, I'll just scrap it like so many others. Don't worry though because if that happens, I will cook up something new in its place.

Looking back at 2011, it's been a bumpy one. While my recently completed project, together with some drastic (but ultimately positive) events in my life, forced me to neglet my regular art updates for the past six months, I've felt that it was a good year for the most part. Still, I can't help but feel that's it has lasted for two years. I can't really remember what it was like back in January 2011, other than everyone around me going crazy over ponies.

I wish you all a Happy New Year 2012. May the Force be with you, live long and prosper, and remember: if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. Right now, my mind is centered on owning a Cintiq 24HD. It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.


(I think I've quoted enough movies for this year)

Pictureless Holidays, Everyone!

I sure tend to crush everyone's hopes these days, right? Halloween went by without any new art, now it's Christmas Day and I haven't uploaded anything. The thing is, my recently completed art project, together with the usual real life hassle, have effectively hampered not only my art time but also my sleep pattern. Also, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day had the worst possibly dates this year. Had there been a proper weekend before them, it would've given everyone more time to concentrate on Christmas preparations.

Obviously, there's still New Year's Eve. I might be able to complete something for that date... but I cannot promise anything anymore. It might just be better to wait for 2012 now and try to relax as much as possible and gather energy.

Merry Christmas, everyone. Let's hope it's actually more merrier and less stressful next year, though.

COMMISSION: 8 commissions for JABComix

Yup, you heard right. That's the secret project I've been working on since late June. I know, I'm slow.

I suppose it's more than fitting that nearly after twelve years of browsing toon porn (and after fourteen years of drawing it) I finally had the honour of working for the cartoon porn king himself, JAB. I presented him eight Danny Phantom pictures, five of which center around Maddie and three around Paulina. One pic also features Sam and Jazz. I don't know when exactly the pics will be published on JAB's site, though, since I don't have any control over that matter. I can only assume it will be soon.

For obvious reasons, I am not going to post any of the images here. However, I'll tease you even more with descriptions I came up for each pic:

Maddie #1: All That Jizz
Maddie sampling non-ectoplasmic slime. Judging from her mood, the goo is positively-charged. Could be seen as a sequel for the fifth Maddie image

Maddie #2: Tuckered In
An unseen moment of Tucker's wish-fullfilment in S1E06 "What You Want".

Maddie #3: Girls' Night In
Maddie, Sam and Jazz celebrate their victory over Kitty, Ember and Spectra. Based on the events of S3E03 "Girls' Night Out".

Maddie #4: It's Maddie Time!
Self-explanatory. Maddie's PJs can be seen in S1E13 "13".

Maddie #5: Sucker for Ghost Boys
Maddie attends to the needs of a ghost boy and his spectral duplicate. Who could it be...?

Paulina #1: Cheer Up, Ghost Kid!
Paulina meets up with her idol "Inviso-Bill" after a late night football game to give him a treat.

Paulina #2: Quenching Her Thirst
Dash, Kwan and other jocks reward Paulina for her successful cheer.

Paulina #3: ¡Muy grande!
Paulina gets her birthday present from her father.

DF: Robub

My response:


"I'm sorry but I can't look at that milkshake pic without seeing this"

REFERENCE: Danny's room

I made this reference collage for one of the pics in my almost completed project. That's right, it's all DP-related (what a surprise). I don't have a solid deadline for the project but since I'm really hoping to churn out something unrelated for either Christmas or New Year's Eve, it's safe to say I'm aiming for 100% completion before the year changes.

Also, you won't be seeing any of the project-related pics on this blog, nor will they be released on WWOEC (I've quietly left that place for good), Paheal or deviantART. I'll let you know more when the time is right.
