Why am I always late...
Don't know why I like this pic so much. Something about it seems very cute. Maybe it's Dee Dee's expression, or the way she's drawn. Either way, on-model stuff is the best.

Hello, fellow followers! It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, I have some good news for you all.
First of all, our month's week of examples will be the next week. Look forward to some fun pics!
But let's be honest, you saw that big text and figured "Hey, we're gonna have a proper update?" Well, yes indeed! Remember how No Girls Allowed! did us in and caused the hiatus? Well, I just discovered a moment that can apply to that show, so feel free to expect it within the nearest update interval.
So when's that gonna be? Well, currently our designated editor Krizeii is working on another remake pic, but that one's for a pic I haven't featured on the blog... I think. When that pic's done, I will work on the second half of that pic, and then... we work our magic! Bonus points for his current transaction being a Role Reversal, so I can cover Monday, too! As for Wednesday, I've still got some stuff I can use there. Thursday and Friday may be a little harder, but I'm sure I can manage. I've got a Mature Musings entry, too. Read More »

With our week having ended at last, I leave you with some very crushing final thoughts.
The day of reckoning is at hand. I have run out of material for the weekly shows. The entry that shut me down was No Girls Allowed!; I don't have any pictures that reduce censorship of a female character's scene, and the ones with adults go into Mature Musings instead, as you'll have noticed from the eclectic nature of that show.
Of course, to a certain extent, I wonder if a blog like this is even needed in this day and age. Just last night, Samurai Jack did a scene involving a nude little girl that not only didn't sexualize her despite being on [adult swim], but was used in a context-appropriate setting and pulled no punches in the message it gave. It incorporated the girl's nudity into character development, and didn't delve into cowardice at all. Read More »

Our big announcement is just around the corner, so for now, let's savor the sexiness of the male gender.
Nothing like a good ol' shower scene to exploit women's bodies. Anime loves sexy showers, and often use them in ways to show off every sexy contour of a lady in true voyeuristic perversion. Well this time we've got an adaptation of a shower scene the male character Char Aznable took in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam, courtesy of the comic book adaptation The Origin. The reason i picked this one is that it's more scandalous than the original anime, being sure to make Char look as sexy as possible. Need I remind you that good lookin' ladies aren't the only ones who can be good lookin'!

I didn't want to post this, but our upcoming situation forced my hand. It's time to talk about the ladies with some Mature Musings!
After so many years on the air, Fox new The Simpsons was a juggernaut, and seemed to be the only animated success on the channel. So the idea to create new animated shows for the network was simply to copy it, and this is how Mike Judge created the topic for today, King of the Hill. The big thing to separate the show was that it starred a family of conservative Texans, who tended to be portrayed as behind the times, but ultimately well-meaning. The big draw behind this show was that it was mostly true to life. In fact, the animation was its biggest advantage, since the numerous quotable lines could be attributed to the animation rather than being a knock against the show for being unrealistic. Read More »

I don't often get to show Dexter's Mom on this show. That's because the artists drew her in such a way that she sparked something of fetishization in the public, so most art I find of her is sexual. This art is good, though, since it takes care to make her look not too fetishy, and is mostly a humorous gag where she loses her bath towel, something we've seen many times. The soap bubbles also do a good job hiding those sensitive bits of her from view, making this picture probably the one example of Dex's mom I can post. Don't get too used to seeing her, boys!

With little left to do for the week, and since I can't keep taking days off forever, I'm going to take the time to answer a question I get every now and then.
Today's question is: "Hey, ArcRoyale, how do I know you're doing the right thing? That is, what makes you so certain your cause is just and not just for your own benefit?"
Good question! I'll try and answer as best I can, and my answer will draw upon the last few times I answered a question or did an editorial.
The media has been recently called out for enculturating negative ideas into us, and one of the ways we see this is in how we've questioned older media. Of course, a lot of the criticism we've seen has been of the most ridiculous of things, like criticizing Mrs. Doubtfire as "transphobic" when that was never the intent. It's not like they were making something like Read More »

I thought it be best if we close out the week with one of my favorite pictures. These girls are just so cute and from a series that's full of cute moments, I knew I had to include them at some point. As for the pic, it's pretty funny that the girls are holding clothes in front of them when they themselves aren't wearing any. I guess they needed to inspect the laundry before putting it on!

After seeing so many ways that it can be done, now it's time to ask the question of How Do We Do It?
For this look, we're taking a peek at Codename: Kids Next Door, and for this one we have a special guest commentator! My boss, Leonardo McDowell aka Darkton has been writing fanfics for the show for years, to the point where he made a dedicated timeline for the show. If anyone knows KND, it's him. Here's what he said:
"First of all, you're crazy, Arc, for getting me to do this. And not just do this, but do it TWICE! Why didn't you keep a log of what I said before? Ah, still, I'll see what I can do to remind you, because I'm such a nice guy.
Kids Next Door is a series that takes typical childhood concepts and dials them up to eleven to turn them into epic adventures. Eating a Brussels sprout POISONS OUR HERO!! Brushing your teeth IS MUTILATING YOUR MOUTH!! Stuff like that. The two big examples of nudity, BUTT and DUCKY, involved these concepts. He lost his swimsuit at the beach, NOW THE ENEMY HAS BLACKMAIL TO GET HIM TO STOP FIGHTING!! He doesn't want to take a bath AND GETS SUCKED ONTO A SHIP OF LOST SOULS!! Any new story should play off those elements. I bet you could write a rockin' fic about a horrific game of Doctor WHERE THE DOCTOR IS A MAD SCIENTIST!! Still wonder if that'd be better from a girl to a boy, though; Doctor is all based around the differences between the two, and I don't think you'd want it to look like sexual assault Read More »

More of our golden girl Lynn with this one. Part of the difficulty in finding pictures to post is that I don't have as many folders as maybe I should have, but I have a massive base folder full of unlabeled stuff that everything without a folder goes into. Finding pics for toons is easy for the first few days since I can look in a folder. The last two? Not so much.
Oh, the pic! This is a great example of a girl getting into a nudity-related pickle. You can tell some chain of events must've happened that conspired to make her suffer in embarrassment. Special note goes to the band-aids; probably one of the best methods of censorship the Japanese came up with, they work great for Lynn because she's a sportsgirl and is expected to have a few some places. Guess she took some personal injuries... Read More »

I was having some trouble deciding if I wanted to post a Simpsons pic and a PPG entry in this, or the previous pic along with this example, but due to the nature of our upcoming big announcement, I went with the one I already did for good reason. It's another example that proves that Yes, It Can Be Done!
The Simpsons is so much a merchandising juggernaut they made fun of that fact all the way back in Season 3. Today, merchandise is the only thing keeping the show alive, as it'll run until, in the words of Troy MacLure "the show becomes unprofitable." And sometimes, specific countries get their own unique material, of have the family endorse their own products, like the Japanese and C. C. Lemon.
Today's subject comes from France, a commercial for their version of Tide, called Vizir. Marge buys some at a supermarket to clean off the stains on the family's clothes. By the time she's hanging them out to dry outside, Homer, Bart, and Lisa get to see the fruits of that labor. They're also naked, and as the clothes fly off the rope because Bart pulled them too far, we see much of Homer, Bart... and Lisa in the nude. Bart shows his wiener before the movie, though it's more abstract than that per request of show creator Matt Groening. Lisa shows a lot, too, covering herself with that cover I so adore and running off to the distance, showing her butt for a few frames. Read More »

I think I may be just a little too busy, skipping out several days. On the other hand, looks like the image size limit just got larger, so I can post some full-size stuff!
This pic is fun! It's official art from a magazine, and it may just be the most revealing official art of the PPGZ. I'm glad they spent it on something as cute as this, what with the Girls enjoying a nice onsen trip. Though I'm surprised Kaoru is taking this so well, given who she's supposed to be...

Ah, the joys of hypocrisy and double standards. Let's explore some of those double standards as we look at a time an animator once again stepped in and said "No Girls Allowed!"
I don't often cover Nicktoons on this blog. That's because I've historically been more of a Cartoon Network fan. But when you peruse through the internet, you stumble across things that lead you to other things which lead you to either glory or disappointment. In this case, we have the latter.
That stumbling was upon a Nicktoon from the olden days called KaBlam!, an anthology series that showcased a series of animated shorts from different animators in different styles. It's kind of like What A Cartoon! except with series intended to always be shorts instead of just being pilots, although one series from that show, Read More »

Ah, the joys of having to plan out every week in advance. All this and more especially in light of a big announcement. Ah, the things I do for love...
So here we have a Billy and Mandy as Adam and Eve pic. I love this series for having a creative cover for Mandy's chest, specifically that wreath around her. Also love the way Mandy is drawn here, it's just so cute. This series is all the work of one artist and one colorist, and the two... don't seem to have any relation. Ah, well, any chance to see enhanced versions of already good art is its own reward...

So the second remake picture just came in a few days ago, so I'm posting it here so everyone knows. It seems Krizeii, the artist, took some influence from the original Xierra version, though I'm not quite sure where he could've found it, and quite frankly, I don't think I wanna know.
Side note, anyone else think Dexter looks just a tad bit more sexualized than normal? He's got a bit more detailed anatomy than he usually gets in identical situations. Well, I guess pedophilia is okay if the subject is a boy, am I right?

Children are beautiful, and it used to be that everyone knew it. Photographers used to take pictures of children in the nude not to sexualize them, but to more fully appreciate them, capture them in their natural environment. The kids didn't mind, and the nature of the photoshoot meant it wasn't exploitation. This picture sorta reminds me of those photoshoots in a way, what with the striking pose and camera angle, only it's done with a character from animation, meaning the one thing people complain about these days, that real kids could be harmed, is not an issue since the kid doesn't really exist. Of course, I've seen that logic used to justify worse things...

And so, the week having come to a conclusion, I leave you with these final thoughts.
Many of you are familiar with me for my commissioned artwork from such artists as Krizeii and Xierra099. All that artwork can be very expensive, usually taking up weeks worth of payment. It's even worse when I have to worry about a massive comic project spanning several different pages. The current project lasts around 40 or so pages!
All that is fine if I have the money, and I have some time to get it because I usually see Xierra bi-weekly and have Krizeii on speed dial. Problem is, my payment is very variable. I get $25 every week on Saturday no matter what, but depending on how much extra work I do, I get bonus cash from an outside employer. And believe it or not, that's often still not enough for much, assuming I have to spend the money on something else. I've got several movies I wanna see, but can't because I'm basically in debt with the artists. Read More »

What was I thinking?! I accidentally uploaded two cartoon pictures in a row AND forgot to upload Sunday's post! I guess I just really wanted to post that Rarity...
Anyway, today's sexy guys are in another fanservice bath poster, you know, the kind you'd see a lot of girls in. Special note goes to the kid on the bottom; if a lot of anime nowadays make use of children for sexual purposes, then that kid shows what it'd be like for boys to get the shoe on their foot. Sometimes I wonder if I really should be saying no one wants to sexualize children...

Let it not be said we're completely out of material! We've still got some content for some good ol' Mature Musings!
Today's subject is a fun one, something I've wanted to cover for some time now. See, back in the old days of animation, they used to do this thing where they'd take something that was popular and make an animated version of it, usually with the wackiness turned up to eleven. So in that vein, there's a cartoon adaptation of the comic book movie, The Mask.
For those unfamiliar with it, the movie, which shares basically no elements with the comic it's based off, involves Jim Carrey getting his hands on a strange mask that ultimately removes the masks he has, that is, removes his inhibitions and the things keeping him from fulfilling his desires. And in doing so, he becomes, essentially, a crime-fighting Loony Tunes character, using classic Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, what have you cartoon gags to save the day and get the girl. Read More »

So sorry about having no ladies last time, but, you know, April Fools only comes once a year. Have this humanized version of the Rarity scene we did last time to make up for it! It's a good one, having just the right details to be more humorous than alluring. Out of all the human versions, it's one of my favorites, and there's a lot of them!
