Unusual children's books - the swimming lesson (end)

Wow! Beautiful!

Wow! Beautiful! .... indeed Very Happy

Thank you Karsten69, Yachi, Mayuhito, Electricus, nekomimi7, beby002 for the positive comments.

By the way, if someone sees errors in my text, please report them to me, it could help to improve the quality of the cartoons.

Excellent. Do you have the adress of this school ? I want to register Feather Kawaii 2

I hope to see more stories. I want to see her at school, in a circus, on snow, etc....

Electricus:
Yay!

I second that.

I like how Tonkato makes it look like the pictures are actually in a book. Makes the imagery seem so domestic.

At the same time, the work is so good. It looks like real watercolor, but it can't be! Is this Corel Painter? The tools are certainly in capable hands! A person like you could take a shit crayon and yellow papyrus and turn it into gold, but I am glad you have whatever tools you have!

I also sense that transformations and duplications are being used to create the repetitive forms during the construction phase, with careful attention to adjusting arm/leg angles to make each form unique. I don't consider that "cheating" if that's what you're doing (it's good computer use), but I wouldn't be surprised if a person of your skill constructed each form individually! Either way, aren't computers wonderful?

People like you are really rare Tonkato. People act like there are millions of artists out there, but there really aren't that many people like you per capita. Thank you for being here! By now you're probably tired of my smell, so off I go!

(If you ever need a shit crayon I happily present my nose.) Laughing

Thank you for your praises, 4tray, but I don't think I deserve ALL of them. You see, I'm not sure you understood exactly what I did here, so let me get it straight for the readers who may find it unclear : I am not the author of ALL parts of the pictures. I started from a REGULAR, NORMAL children's book and I turned it into a... naughtier book.
From the original work, I borrowed most of the backgrounds and the faces. I can't draw faces. What I do is photoshopping theses pictures to transform them.
Take for example the first panel with the girls practicing ballet : I hadn't much work on these, all I had to do was to paint over the girls' clothing to make them appear nude. I can't draw faces, but I'm better at drawing human anatomy, so it wasn't this hard.
The sex scenes are far more difficult, because I have to define all the elements from the start, including bodies and attitudes. You see, the authors of the original books are far more talented than I am, and if you pay careful attention to details and frames, when comparing the sex scenes with the previous ones, maybe you'll see differences in quality. On the other hand, since you asked me if my technique was watercolor (and no, it wasn't), it means that you hadn't noticed the separation between the original work and mine. I'm very glad for that, because I was very careful to imitate the original style.

Don't get me wrong, I find your comment heartwarming anyway! It's just that I want you to appreciate this cartoon on the right scale of value.

By the way, speaking of the sex scenes, my technique has improved in the previous weeks and I'm not so proud anymore of some panels in the first two stories. There are a few anatomy errors. Maybe I'll have them fixed in the future.

@Thom79, Darksign, Lolikonfreak : thanks, guys

Simply....WOW!

Once more, just stunning!

Again you show superb sensitivity to the original artwork in the books which brings these stories to life with such immediacy.

There are a host of these Martine story books out there. If one can vote on which to illuminate next I would vote for the birthday party story.

sweet
really good work
reminds of the art in some old school books o.o

Tonkato:
Hello, this is my first post here!

Here's a work I wanted to show to you : I found some old european illustration books from the early sixties and I... turned them into something a little more interesting.

This is a story about nudist lifestyle! Enjoy!

Oh, and by the way, I'm a non-native English speaker (I'm from Belgium) so I apologize for the poor quality of the translation.

nice! kickass

Very good. The ballet clase drawings are superb. Very Happy

@Kuzuha, gladstone, Nick Deal, Yachi, Maximuscrupulos, titsup : thank you.

I received a complaint about one of the pictures in the camping story, so I deleted it temporarily.
