Couple of slight delays on starting this week, one caused by trying to find the right material, and another caused by other obligations, I'm a busy man.
This picture works because clearly Hina here is expecting the viewer to bath her. She's obviously been looking forward to this for some time now, and she might have even been waiting in the bath for a while. The thing about Hina is, unlike the other girls, she's of the age where bathing her is cute no matter who you are. Just don't go too tough on her or she'll cry, and nobody likes to be in direct earshot of a crying child.

Gwen stuff is really hard to find, but at the same time I'm having a really difficult time finding something I can use for the toon pic today. As such, we're going with one of my commissions, an old one.
This one is based off a moment from Metal Gear Solid 2. The idea is that Raiden was stripped naked and had to sneak through a base to get to a goal. Along the way, he had calls from his support staff that were basically nonesense. There are reasons, but they're spoiler-y, and they don't make sense even in context.
Now, I don't know much about Ben 10, but I do know Grampa Max is played by the same actor as that support staff member, Paul Eiding. So I had Gwen streak through a base while Max, dressed as the staff member, delivers crazy lines. It's a fun little VA joke. I could've make Ben the streaker, but you know me. Plus Gwen needed some non-sexual stuff. Read More »

Ah, it's been so long. I enjoy doing these and am genuinely saddened when I can't. Well, now we're back for some fun!
This pic is a great one because it's got some nice elements to it. The Abra pulling a prank on the girl, the subsequent cover-up using the same Abra, the look on the girl's face... it all adds up to a genuinely cute picture!

I've been looking for some good pictures of Nanoha girls to use on this blog, and I think I found one that hopefully isn't a duplicate. This one's got cute embarrassment and that kind of cover I love to see. It's a really adorable pic when you get right down to it, which is a lot better than I often see Vivio get used for, even by official works. Especially by official works.

Since we're running out of ways to ask How Do We Do It, it's time for another edition of What Would It Look Like?
This one features Robin Snyder from Powerpuff Girls. She's kinda obscure, so I wanted to spotlight her. Note the raindrops: this is also a bit related to Nano of the North, one of my faves.

Two pics in one day? Well, technically, this is a picture that represents a version of How Do We Do It? using an older girl, so it still counts as running a "show."
In this case, we have Miss Keane. What I like about this one is how modest she is in this pic. A lot of artists make Keane a little too sexy, but here she looks nice and adorable, especially with her modest bust. Krizeii's done stuff like this all the time for me, and I'm glad for it.

Here's something the Fox censors are too scared to do! It's another time where we show the answer to the question of "What Would It Look Like?"
Here's Lisa, totally embarrassed and totally nude. I originally got a pic that had her pearls, but I decided to have them removed. If she ever got her moment on the show, this is what it'd look like. Maybe she looked like this while she was swimming in the Fermentarium... whatever that is.

Wouldn't you know it, I just found this pic today! Pretty cool, huh?
I don't quite know why Sakura is sleeping nude, but the situation is funny in how she realizes quickly she overslept and has to do the whole morning routine. There's plenty of room for jokes here, like how Sakura has so many different outfits that choosing the right one would be hard, or how she'd practically be in a hurry to get into her outfit, trying to get dressed while running... heh, that's not a bad idea. Should hit up Xierra when I get some cash.

Aside from tomorrow being thanksgiving, CN is running a big Teen Titans Go marathon. Because there's no "s" in CARTOON Network. As such, I've got a moment from that show that surprised me redrawn in the style of the 2003 series, handled by Xierra. I'll maybe ask Kri to do it to, but for now, here we are!

As we do nowadays, it's time to put some art forward and ask the question of What Would It Look Like?
I know Numbuh 3 had her time in the show, but later episodes ended up showing more of certain characters, most notably Numbuh 1. So I requested another pic of her for a later project of mine. Incidentally, this is the first time I asked for a pic from someone of a KND character! Good to feature lesser-known stuff.

It's a surreal feeling updating so soon after the last one. That's what I get for being lazy...
Anyway, even if Blossom can't quite get the joke, I sure can! It's a great example of overreaction: skirt gets flipped over, so somehow that warrants outfit being destroyed? Her reaction to this whole thing makes for a really humorous picture, and I think the artist, who happens to be my comic artist Xierra099 does the job well. Also, Darkton93 provided the colors you see here, so go thank him, too.

Sometimes shyness can be very cute, especially with regards to certain children. Really, it's all in the face and body posture, which can be used to enhance a picture. This one is a clear example of such, using both elements to make for an adorable picture.

Another deleted picture. I want to preserve these as much as possible, so I'm posting this here so it stays somewhere.

I keep thinking I've submitted this, but I'm only now doing so! Anyway, what works about this pic is the sense of panic to the whole thing. The "naked at school" situation is often a great source of humor, and this one works great because of her reaction to being caught. Sorry, foooouuuund you!

One of my friends recently lost his Google account to the internet police. He was suspended for sharing pictures with what Google deemed “unacceptable exploitation of minors”. I say “what Google deemed” because, having seen the images through another outlet... he exploited nobody. The picture was simply of cartoon boys showing nothing that anime doesn't show even to this day.

Drawings of children in innocent situation are turned over to the Sentinels of Silicon Valley and turned over as signs that someone should be arrested. Never mind that if the worst cases were to happen to an actual child, Twitter's former management would protect the offending user and simply hide the evidence to the masses. Actual pedophiles get more support than those who simply draw art the mob finds unacceptable.
