Art by Eugène Lelievre

Artwork by Eugène Lelievre, may be viewed on both Instagram and Ebay (auction ended). Many Thanks to BB for locating these two superb pieces:

Three Do's and a Don't

Yes, the Quaids are back from their latest shopping expedition, and couldn't wait to show you their latest acquisitions:

The Quaids: Before and After

 So, quadruplets are usually defined as four children born from the same mother at the same time (generally identical in appearance). Here we have the aptly named Quaid girls taking a candid selfie on their eighteenth birthday...

...followed by the exact same four; washed, scrubbed and blow-dried for their boudoir shoot (and wearing as little as their Mom will allow). Amazing how a touch of lipstick and gloss can change your entire outlook, isn't it? :)

Twin Desires

And now for another a trip to AI land, where stunning blonde beauties model their black designer lingerie in the street. The original had a few anomalies (extra/missing fingers etc), but we managed to clean them up in photoshop. Will be posting more like as time permits.

Glory's end near!

So, we've finally gotten round to devising a Looney Tunes-style ending for Maroon Cartoons (featuring Glory's white cotton panties, of course). Instead of Porky stuttering out his famous line, we have Glory's best side filling the screen with the words "The End" superimposed over her plump, ripe bottom:

The Panty Wars

Presenting our latest OS project: The Panty Wars! Panty Wars is the heart-warming story of a group of Shibuya college girls who start photographing each other's underwear to post on the school website. The pranks escalate to a LEGALLY BINDING WAGER in which the losers will be forced to model their bare essentials in public. The result is wall-to-wall knickers as each contestant struggles to maintain her clothing along with her dignity!

Yuusei Shonen of the Space Patrol

A vast shadow has fallen over the planet Earth in the "far-off future" of 2001. The shape-shifting Zygons, one of the most hated species in entire the galaxy, have begun infiltrating human society via its smallest and most defenseless members: young children.

While this secret invasion goes unnoticed by most of humanity, The Supreme Galactic Council has sent its greatest warrior to deal with the Zygon infestation. Armed with the power and technology of a thousand worlds, Yuusei Shonen undertakes the most important mission of his career - to protect an entire planet from the most dangerous creatures in the universe.

His orders are simple: hunt down and exterminate the Zygons before they can breed. Failure is not an option; if the aliens manage to propagate, The Galactic Council will be forced to destroy the entire solar system.

The fate of the Earth is literally in Yuusei's hands - but how can he even hope to succeed against such a devious and dangerous enemy? 

Well, the first step is to inspect Keiko's underpants, followed by every other girl in her class.

More Saori and Keiko

As our good friend Tom Isa has pointed out, it's unfortunate that panchira has virtually disappeared from the small screen over the past ten years; panty shots and upskirt takes were a defining element of Japanese animation for nearly five decades before American puritan values set in. This image features Saori & Keiko updated to the late 90s, when ecchi and fan service reached an all-time high. In the era of Aika, Najica and Yadamon, scenes like this were extremely common back in the day.

Attention: All Members:

 Saori has something to show you:

BTW: Happy New Year :)

Caught in her Underwear (AI version)

So, there's a huge argument going on over at DeviantART at the moment; apparently, "traditional" artists want AI banned from the internet until the end of time.

Speaking for myself, I completely disagree. The technology can now be used to improve artwork. Compare the two pics posted below - tradition media enhanced by Artificial Intelligence. It's pretty obvious which one looks better.

Sooner or later, we'll be able to produce an entire manga in less than a day, using just simple line drawings and an AI program.

2022 Winter Spectacular

Yes, the title says it all. Our good friend Tisa has produced yet another show-stopping extravaganza to ring in the new year, and we guarantee it'll rank high on everybody's Christmas list. Clocking in at a staggering thirty minutes, it is amongst the most innovative of Tom's animated films, featuring superb choreography, exceptional costume designs and impeccable camera work from start to finish. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, TISAstudios presents the 2022 Winter Spectacular!!

Glory and Kitty (AI Version)

 Different Dimension wasn't quite sure what to make of this Glory Bea cartoon:

 But it still gave us a nice winter-themed "postcard" to see the year out:

Merry Christmas, one and all.

Different Dimension Me

Our heartfelt thanks to Churrinho, for introducing us to the truly amazing Different Dimension Me. While the system has a few limitations (see previous posts) DDM is not only capable of converting regular photos into anime-style avatars, but can actually improve on existing CGI. Case in point: we took this tired old piece from Kogaru Diaries:

And transformed it into these:

BTW: All of these images are in the public domain. Use them however you see fit. :)

Some more AI

So, we finally managed to access QQ AI once more, and immediately uploaded this image of our resident joshikosei, Saori and Keiko:

For some inexplicable reason, the AI had some minor problems with the background, but did a commendable commensurate job on the figurework:

The experiment continued with Saori & Keiko in their underwear:

And as expected, our trusty QQ came through with the goods:

Artificial Intelligence

So, the new fad of the moment is artificial intelligence software that converts photos into anime drawings. We tested some of TISA's MMD screencaps out in this ground-breaking software and were frankly astonished by the results. Here's a selection of images from the QQ AI program:

Our thanks to Churrinho for providing these superb conversions.

2022 Halloween Show

OK, we're a few days late reposting this one, but Tisa's 2022 Halloween Show is an absolute blockbuster! Clocking in at a spectacular twenty-six minutes, it features (at least) seven classic dance numbers with some of the most innovative choreography and camerawork we've seen thus far. Be sure to watch to the very end; the final bows and encores are well worth the wait. Our heartfelt thanks to Tom for this superb animated extravaganza.

Group Effort

Another multi-troupe performance, with three different teams combining their talents for the Easter Fundraiser. In this surprisingly long demonstration (11.23 minutes), the girls put their differences aside to present a truly first-rate spectacle.
