Description I drew this one day and added the comment recently. In my opinion, cartoon porn and explicit pics of cartoons doing things that only hardcore porn stars would do is just bizarre. I don't get it and never will. If you use your own characters, that's one thing. But if you need to spank the monkey to pics of a naked cartoon woman tied up while performing fellatio to a 6 armed tentical beast, you need therapy. Lots and lots of therapy. It's not sexy, it's not beautiful, and it's disrespctful to the origanal artist.

Like I said, my opinion.

I'm a little late for the boat, but I have to add my to the pile.

In a quaint, compact nutshell: I absolutely refuse to ruin a fandom for people. Sesshoumaru putting Inu Yasha over his knee and spanking him ruins a fandom for me. Belle and Aurora bound up and doing indescribable things to each other ruins a fandom for me.

People who ruin fandoms really cheese me off. I think your pic touches on something that irks many of us. Thank you for addressing it.

I think there's a huge difference between a pin-up or sexy pose of an established character and 'cartoon porn'.

Supergirl looking like she's on the cover of 'vogue' or X-men's Storm in a bikini is one thing. That I see as acceptable. The truth is these characters where designed 'sexy'. I don't see that kind of thing being any different than a singer or actress appearing in FHM or a fashion magazine.

On the other hand, a butt-naked supergirl doing things with root vegetables is ridiculous. When I see pictures like that, the first thing that pops into my head is "Why doesn't this guy just go and look at some porn." Or "Why did he choose that particular character?"

I like to think of comic book or cartoon characters as 'actors'. Plenty of actors have done risque photoshoots in their time. On the other hand, very few go from mainstream movies to hardcore porn.

That's the difference.

I kinda agree with ya there MiraElizabeth...well I like adult art as much as the next guy but only when it's very well done. I saw a fan hentai comic featuring the Teen Titans (cartoon versions) doing some of sickest stuff imaginable and it looked like a child drew it with their feet. That's the kind of art that definatly needs to be erased off the net.

Amen to that, girl! Real fans know the characters and know what they would or would not do - and real fans respect that. Anyone else is just, in my opinion, retarded and are in need of serious help.

Issues aside, this is beautiful art! I just love Mira's hairstyle and her outfit is lovely. I like how it curves so smoothly and comfortably. Lana is a really neat character as well. I love her facial markings and unique hairstyle as well. What can I say? You do wonders for cartoon character hair.

Awesome work for both artistry and message! I shall gladly support your efforts with a well-deserved !

Speaking as "devil's advocate" (since I'm guilty of a couple of explicit pics of Jesse from Team Rocket drawn for the fans you describe), explicit fanpics usually aren't intended to be disrespectful and, in many cases, it IS the character they're attracted to, not just the act or body. In some cases, it's intended to be an extension of the character into situations or story scenarios not possible in the source material due to Broadcast Standards and Practices (sometimes by the characters' own creators, even...the original comic book version of "Batman: Mad Love" which was written and drawn by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm themselves had their creation Harley Quinn taunting Joker in a see-through negligee'). I WILL admit, though, that in many cases it's the shock value of seeing normally "innocent" characters in explicit situations that gets the viewer "going" (or that prompts the creation of such work in the first place...controversy brings viewers and, as is the unfortunate norm in everything from fanwork to news broadcasts, "there's no such thing as bad publicity").
I personally tend to prefer pics and stories that at least keep the character itself and their personality in mind, such as some Goliath-Elisa Maza pics I've seen...and, trust me, there are few fandoms as devoted to the characters' backgrounds and personalities as the "Gargoyles" fandom (which, for the sheer quantity of adult fanwork it's produced, is still a female-dominated fandom). In my own work, I typically do as you suggested and create my own analogs to existing characters...and, such as in the case of my fan-made Digimons, FangRenamon and ShadowRenamon, even THAT'S no guarantee (despite being created expressly for adult pics, the characters' personalities evolved rapidly to the point of me being unable to picture them in adult situations...they're still a fun pair to draw in non-explicit cartoons, though).
Still, explicit fanart is typically not intended to be anything more than just that: fanart. The artists or commissioners usually don't intend it to be offensive to the concept of the character (I'm not sure about the Naughty Sabrina crew, though, considering how many times her creator has asked/pleaded/threatened them with legal action to stop posting "Sabrina Online" porn) even if it may be offensive to the characters' fans and/or creators.

No, what I'm complaining about it the out of character, poorly drawn "art" that is degrading to the character, the original artist, and in many cases is degrading to women. It's the out of character that's bothersome. It's like the people who are insanely rabid about sticking poor Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy together. There is a ton of harry/draco art. First, it's out of character. Second they're kids. Double ew.

THANK YOU For Putting this up!
and saying that last bit about the Harry potter Slash.
Because I COMPLETELY Agree with you

Heckfire In reply to MiraElizabeth [2006-03-19 05:39:29 +0000 UTC]

Actually, yeah, gotta agree with both points there...I actually saw a "Star Command" adult parody that was pretty wretched once, like the artist just painted the generic slutgirl blue and said "Hey, look, it's Mira!" (and two guesses what they did to poor XR's floating head).
And you think the Harry/Draco stuff is disturbing, you should see some of the Harry/SNAPE stuff. I've got nothing against yaoi, but this NAMBLA stuff, oy...

MiraElizabeth In reply to Heckfire [2006-03-19 22:22:47 +0000 UTC]

Eh, I never liked yaoi, mainly because it usually involves characters that were never meant to be in such relationships and most of it is usually pretty bad. I.E. Harry and Draco hate each other. The anger and hatred between the two is not covering up some deep underlying lust or hidden love.

Amen! If you do that you shouldn't even be allowed to call yourself a fan.
