Well, having found my example for No Girls Allowed on the budget I have, I figured now would be a good time to get the blog going again for another "proper" week. Hope to see you soon!

I know it's a special week, but I thought I'd leave you with some final thoughts.
Things've been pretty tough for me ever since I stopped earning income, but I've made due on donations. While I still can't quite work with Xierra yet, there are some cheaper artists out there I can work with, meaning I can still provide some content... provided I do it strategically.
As for word in the world of television, tonight marked the American TV premiere of the seventh episode Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, aka the episode that had a nude 11-year-old girl in it with plenty of shots of her butt. Granted, it was on [adult swim] and it was a tense scenario, but some progress is better than none. Seems to me like we may be approaching a new paradigm, that young female nudity is acceptable if it's tragic or harsh, while comedic female nudity of any kind is right out, as shown by an incident involving the N-Sane Trilogy of Read More »

Here's something for all you adults out there!
One thing that's been bothering me when it comes to depictions of unclothed cartoon animals like, say, the Sonic cast or Gadget from Rescue Rangers is when they give naughty bits to the females, but not often the males. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, and it's a reason furries are so disliked. It just feels weird to me, mostly because, well, the boys don't have any! (Though sometimes they do in those artworks. Weird.)
It appears this comic artist thought the same way, because he did this pic mocking the trend. It only makes sense and when pushed to this kind of extreme, it's great satire. I hope he doesn't mind me putting this here...

So, final day of our little Special Episode, and we've got the solution to the problem I kept referring to.
Normally I'd consider non-sexual female nudity to be a big demand of mine. That's because I'd prefer kids come across the kind of stuff that's acceptable in cartoons instead of worse stuff. That's me being concerned for kids.
Of course, all that goes out the window for cartoon animals, primarily because the thing about them is all about character design, so in this case, an alternate solution to undressing the girls could simply be giving the guys some clothes instead. It could fit really well thematically with the character and give them an additional layer to their characterization. Sonic's classic, yes, but his USA-inspired color scheme doesn't suggest much to his personality. That's all in the poses, and these days his characterization gets very... muddled. Something like the pic depicted may give a chance to show his attitude, as would the outfit given to Tails to show his youth. Read More »

Well, you probably knew this was coming, didn't you? Of course you did.
In the 90's, to promote Michael Jordon and his line of sneakers, Warner Bros. brought back the Looney Tunes cast out of retirement to produce Space Jam, a movie that couldn't be more 90's if it tried. But they ran into a problem: the only female among their cast was Granny, and despite how strong she may be, Jordan needed the cartoon stars on his team and Granny was kinda, well, Granny.
To bring a female into the mix and promote that Spice Girls "GRRL POWA!" that was going on at the time, Warner Bros. added Lola Bunny to the mix. There's a lot of problems with Lola, though, at least in her start. Big problem #1 is that she isn't very funny, and, when you've got cartoon characters who by their very nature star in satirical comedy cartoons, being "not funny" is a death sentence. Problem #2 is that she was basically eye-candy, a sexualized bunny with feminine form to draw audiences to. Why not? Jessica Rabbit was just last decade! Read More »

Today, I'm gonna talk about a trend that's been bothering me for some time, and it relates to how things are going today. In order to tell you this, I need to relay a story.
Back in DuckTales, the character of Webby Vanderquack dressed in a similar manner to the boys, but with girl versions of each part. These two examples served to illustrate that Tertiary Sexual Characteristics also apply to boys, with the boys having baseball caps and t-shirts, and Webby wearing pink and having a bow. The two were very much equivalent.
This would happen again in The Powerpuff Girls, with humans this time. The female Powerpuff Girls were given evil male counterparts in the form of the Rowdyruff Boys, who dressed in boy versions of the Girls' clothes. The best example of this is Brick compared to Blossom. Blossom, the girl, wears pink, while Brick, the boy, wears red. Blossom has a dress and Mary Janes, while Brick has a long-sleeve shirt, slacks, and sneakers. Most importantly, Blossom has a bow, while Brick has a baseball cap. They're all prime examples of how to do this well. Read More »

Okay, so, on to the second part! People who know me on a personal level know about a rule I follow with regards to certain depictions of characters. This rule is called the "Law of Equivalency" or "Rule of Equivalency", one of those two, and it works like this:
"Female characters exposed in the same manner as males must have some kind of equivalence to their exposure, otherwise it is inequal. Male waist-up nudity is equal to female shoulders-up nudity. Male nudity that shows all but the crotch is equal to female nudity that hides the chest and crotch. Full male nudity is equal to full female nudity. These are set by societal standards on what's acceptable for certain MPAA ratings."
So how does that work with cartoon animals? Well, it's quite simple: Unless that girl really needs a skirt, bottomless males should be met with bottomless females, and shirtless males should be met with shirtless females. It makes the most sense of all, since cartoon animals who are male do not possess any "objectionable" features human characters do, and yes, featureless humans will also be the same as I draw them, male or female.

Greetings, welcome, and hello to all! Welcome to our second ever Special Episode! For this round, we will be talking about cartoon animals who are assumed to be equivalent to humans, specifically on how the females tend to be treated in those cases.
For our first day, we need to address a singular topic: What makes a cartoon animal a girl? This is a little harder than you might realize, while still easier than you think.
Humans can easily tell males and females of their own species apart. It's the reason we laugh at Professor Oak asking if you're a boy or a girl: the fact should be plainly obvious. It's also the reason why a popular trick played on the internet is to present what looks like a cute girl, only for them to turn out to be a man: We know what girls "should" look like, and it's quite a shock to see that what looks like a girl isn't.

Next week I may or may not be moving to a place without internet for a long time, so I'm gonna make this next week the week of our next special episode. Hope you like!

I was planning on doing my next special episode sometime soon. I've decided a theme for it already, I'm just going out to get my examples.
Since the end of next month is a long way away, I'm just going to start talking about the theme for this special episode: Cartoon Animals! The weird thing about character designs for cartoon animals is that the girls are more conservatively-dressed than the boys, even though the boys are already featureless. Technically speaking, the girls should be, too, but for some reason the industry insists on dressing them despite there really being no need to.
Over the course of the week, we'll be looking at different ways companies handled animal dressing, through looking at comparisons between boys and girls and, of course, doing some reversals with dressed boys and undressed girls. Don't worry, there's nothing to be seen! At the weekend, we'll do some funny pictures to illustrate the concepts I'm talking about. Read More »

More sexy guys! This one is fun because it's specifically bait for female audiences. The long hair, the chiseled body, the thong of shielding... I can tell this isn't a gay pic because the artist seemed to want it to be for the ladies. Yeah, I'm sure John Smith WISHES he looked this cool.

Now why feature this one if it's got a sexy girl you may ask? Well, this artist did something interesting by including Kale as well as Caulifla. Kale is basically a female Broly, but in a unique twist, she's just as buff as her male version, and Broly was very buff. That alone makes her the best version of a Female Broly, since her design doesn't shrink her muscles to make her "sexier". Thus the inclusion of Kale makes this pic worthwhile since her massive muscles show what this kind of girl would look like in this way. It's something you don't normally see, so I felt that it was worth featuring on our blog.

I don't get to feature the reboot of PPG a lot, mainly because the reboot isn't that good, thus, doesn't inspire a lot of fanart that isn't hate art. This one works though. It's a new take on that classic nano scene. I mean, why not? Depowering the girl heroes is the name of the reboot's game. Feminism!

I'm sure you've heard at least one "Magical Girl Naked Transformation" joke before. Well, here's one with a spell gone awry to strip the girl. It works well as a parody of the gag, and keeps things mostly comedic, even with the butt, but then, butts are funny. Well, hopefully the battery on the wand isn't out!

Bonus non-nudity-related pic. Funny thing, both claims are ones I'd say to be true.

Good grief, nobody told me finding toon pics would get harder and harder. Anyway, this is a silly little parody of the Lynn bath scene, with the differences being made apparent. This kind of stuff gets in kids shows every now and then (Rugrats, anyone?), so I'm certain it's safe. Hey, the fact that this scene even exists in the original says I should be fine. I mean, the chests are the same! ...for now.

Dragon Ball is not a universe where clothes grow with the wearer when he changes size. Heck, clothes in that show barely stay on even when the wearer is the same size, given all the fighting! So when an accident causes the predictable to happen, poor Pan is stuck without an outfit in the ship they came in. The thing that makes this pic work is that it mostly takes a comedic approach this portion of Dragon Ball would take, with Pan "wearing" the ship. I think the bigger worry right now is how they're going to leave the planet!

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 »

Okay, so I just lost my one source of income. That's what we call "bad". I've had to cancel deals with artists and sell some old things and start asking for donations.
That means if we come back next time, it'll likely be a Special Episode. I've got a theme picked for it, I just need the resources. You'll find out what it is before we started.
Also, since the month is almost over, we'll be starting a week of examples. Just formality.

Sorry for the delay. Complications kept coming up.
This pic was on the blog before. I like it because it's got that perfect bedroom look. Part of the difficulty with these is in finding stuff that isn't just homoerotic; it has to be something that's like a female picture. I think this qualifies, but I've found plenty of pics that don't, hence the low activity.
