Ten+ years

I stopped and realized today that I’ve been doing sexy tooning for over 10 years! Holy crap! 10 years!  That means I was 24 when I started.  Dang I’m old!  I’ll be 35 next month (9th of Feb… mark it on your calendar… I expect gifts).  Never would I have imagined that I would still being doing this after all this time.  Sure there have been some lulls in the drawings here and there, but I’ve kept at it.  I remember drawing my first naughty pic of Babs and then trying my hand at anthro drawings.

Wow.. those are… classic? Old…  bad?  All three?  I was just wondering how far I’d come in drawing naughty things and regular things in general.  I think that I’ve come quite far in fact.  I’m actually really happy with the progress I’ve made with my painting, proportions and ideas.  Why just looks at the one of the pics I did this year.

Yup… some paint monsters, some paint backgrounds… I paint sexy things.  Have been for 10 years.  I hope I can do it for another 10 years because I love it so.  I’m also so happy of the support I’ve gotten from you the fans over the years.  Why, if it wasn’t you guys (gals?) supporting me, I might not have continued.

So thanks for the great times over the last 11 years. I hope to give you more great art over the years to come.  You’re all awesome. ^_^

Say… while I have you all here.  What’s you favorite pics that I’ve done in the past 10 years?  I love my messy Roxanne pic.  Actually… I love most, if not all of my messy pics. ^_^

    Holy cow! I was still in high school in 02! Where does the time go….

    Anyways, I really have 2 categories of favorite pics. The naughty ones and the funny/cute ones.

    Naughty:
    1) Gadget & Tammy tentacle pic
    2) Alvin, Simon, & Jeanette internal pic

    Funny/cute:
    1) Random’s Ice cream
    2) Gwen’s Costume Contest pics

    You really have improved Joe, you are a master of your craft. It’s been a wild ride and here’s hoping for 10 more years of cartoon naughtiness!

    • joerandel Says:

      Those are all great choices! I love the Random ice cream one too and yeah, it goes with out saying that I love any Chipmunk or Chipette pic. ^_^

    Technically given the dates on those I would say 11/12+ yeras. eheh, you have progressed wonderfully, but those original ones are not bad. I rather like the window bunny, it has a certain… quality to it. I can’t explain it. 🙂 Heres hoping you keep drawing sexy things 😉

  • Andreas Says:

    You’re only 35?! I’m 33, and have for all those ten+ years thought you were much older, as your artwork is so amazing! I… I’ve gotta practice more. >_>

    Anyway. ^^; I’d have to say my favorites among your artwork are the bukkake/sperm themed ones (like messy Roxanne, Tinkerbell and Chipettes) and the tentacle/double penetration ones, and the funny Buster+Fifi one and… Oh there are so many good ones! Your cute and naughty girls are just a joy to behold. I wish I could have all of your pictures framed on my wall. ^-^

    • joerandel Says:

      Yeah, my favorites are the messy ones too, but the tentacle ones? Wow! That was a long time ago. I totally forgot about those! Good call. ^_^

    10 years seems like a short time now. Its weird looking at things I drew 20 years ago and thinking “This looks like crap!” I’m sure I’ll look back 10 years from now and think the same thing about my current stuff.

  • shadow Says:

    I still think my favorite has got to be your Medusa pic. It really encompasses the cute/sexy thing you do so well.

    • joerandel Says:

      I think that pic is the one that has traveled the internet the most. It has the widest general appeal… and she’s super cute too. ^_^

  • Riddle78 Says:

    You’ve come miles,but,as I said before,you were never bad at what you do. Your toonings rock all sorts of socks,and I say “HUZZAH!” in response to your accomplishment. And,Joe,it appears we share the same faveourite pic you made. As far as naughty goes. I also love your pic of the bunny girl with the pistols,firing upward…So dynamic! You,sir,rock.

    I can’t believe that it has been so long since you first started. I remember first encountering your work through another (now ‘retired’) artist’s site/club. I was initially drawn to your work because of your Gadget facial pic, but was sold when you came out with the Monsters Inc. parody. Brilliant on so many levels. Can’t pic a fav, but can say that you’ve definitely improved over the last ten years. Look forward to seeing what the next ten bring.

      Wow, thanks ^_^ Which site did you first see me on? Just asking out of curiosity. Oh man, I totally forgot about that Gadget pic. I should redo that one and see how my work has changed. Do people still know who Gadget is these days though?

      • JJ Says:

        Well, unless my memory is fried, I believe it was TDK’s yahoo group (may not have been official). He was my favorite artist (anthro) back in the day. It’s too bad that he didn’t stick around. I really enjoyed his work. Also, I just checked and noticed that your Monsters Inc. parody came before the Gadget facial. I’m pretty sure I saw the Gadget pic first, but my memory isn’t what it used to be. Either way, it was the M.I. pic that sold me on your art. As far as people knowing Gadget these days, I’d guess she is known more for being one of the characters that was popular in the fandom, but I doubt many (especially the younger) people are all that aware of her origins. Too bad, I always thought she was an underutilized character.

        P.S. Probably doesn’t need saying, but I’m all for more messy/naughty Gadget pics.
