The crappy quality of the Daily Motion vid was making me break my furniture. And the required signup to the site might have been a turnoff to many (it would have been for me).

Solution! The animation now resides on a new Magic Crayons server. There are two file types: mov and avi; the latter is kinda huge.

But the point is, they look much better, and they aren't hiding behind the registration for a YouTube wannabe.

Here you go:

… now because of this wonderful piece of work I'm going to have to one up you somehow.

My work here is done.

But in the meantime, where did you get those great muscle growth sound effects?

I gathered all of my sounds (all free) from http://www.soundsnap.com. There's a collection of female utterances from a user named Rebecca that's gold. I also pulled FX of tearing clothes, squishing (for the arm-growth closeup) and electricity (for the gamma gun).

The sounds were edited with Audacity, a keen (and, again, free) program.

The animation is out-of-sight, but not gone. I'm switching hosting services, so the link provided is no longer good.

Until I re-up with another service, the animation can be seen at Daily Motion.

"Me Tarzan, you J-uh-OOOOWWW!!"

Great 3-D piece. And who's to say a civilized Jane, with a bod like that, wouldn't hesitate to go topless in that setting?

Amazing work!  And isn't that Spider Jerusalem as your avatar?

It is, Bo. Spider's a personal hero. I've got an SJ action figure (with his hated two-headed cat) on my desk at work.

And Ten…what's vlc?

I thought you had ossified, sir.

Indeed I had. But a quart of 10/30 weight, along with a bracing colonic, got it all flowing again.

Thank you thank you thank you, all.

As much fun as I had with the drawing, the audio was enjoyable, too (perhaps because it took 1/20th the time to create). I lucked out and found a site with a free collection of giggles, umms, uhhhs and groans by one woman; she apparently sat at a mic and did these for gawd knows what end. Anyway, it gave the audio a consistency I didn't dream possible. I threw in some thunder, some rips (actually the pulling of a zipper), and some echo FX. And the blink. Can't forget the blink.

I'm actually itching to do another animation. We'll see how it goes. Hey, DCM, moving pics at 10 paces! Draw!

And as for all those images from Magic Crayons…I've got 'em, too. Safely stashed away. Waiting, waiting…

[Jody]

Thank you Sir, may I have another?

All things are possible, Scott. I'll even court requests, as long as the subjects are straightforward and don't require depicting a specific model or starlet (I can't do caricatures for s**t).

The angular look of your current art style is eye-catching. Lots of personality in there, which makes the growth even more alluring. Cool to see the positive changes in your talent between these two pieces.

Well, gad-freakin'-zooks, David. I'm…uh…wow.

Does anyone know? I remember the magic crayons site, but I wasn't too sure what happened now 🙁

Honestly, it's strange to think that anyone remembers me. Absolute truth.

I'm not gone (obviously). I have slipped into ultra-lurker status. The website was pulled down a couple of years ago for the usual various reasons. I still have all of the art on the hard drive, along with all of the pages from the Shiela story. Now and again I'll kick around the idea of putting up another site with a similar mission. But at this pt, it's just a kicking thing.

These days I stay busy coloring. I'm a regular collaborator with The Manic, and our stuff can be seen at his Yahoo Group (though, I'm afraid, not all for free).

If you (or anyone) have a particular piece of art from my archive that you'd like, I'm happy to email it to you. Just IM me here.

Cheers, y'all.
