CartoonCarwash_Background

Here's our background for the Cartoon Carwash project.

I tried to keep it simple, realistic in terms of setting, but also make it opened to exploration and various possibilities.

Speaking of possibilities, I'd really like for you guys to suggest things to do in the comments ( I don't mean sex positions ). I'd like you guys so suggest animated series and movies you'd like to see me use, as well as amusing situations for me to illustrate. If you go back to the Comicon picture, you'll see that most characters aren't having sex. I'd like to do something similar again; a mix of sex, sexy situations and humor.

The colors took me lightly longer than expected. 1, I always forget how log coloring the line takes and 2, The wet parking lot gave me trouble. I wanted to have big puddles of water reflecting the sun and the sky, but it just didn't work. It was horrible. So it took me almost 4 hours just to figure out something that worked.

As it is right now, the working resolution is already double what I usually work on. And I plan to double that once more for the characters so that I can have a satisfying level of details, despite the scale.

Tomorrow, I'll start adding vehicles all over the place. But since I'll be out for the weekend, I won't be waiting to have drawn all of them before adding in characters since I want you guys to star to receive pictures as fast as possible.

Hope you are as excited as I am.
See you guys soon!

This is a great backdrop! I’m imagining: Jubilee and Kitty Pryde from 90s X-Men cartoon in bikinis, playfully slipping and sliding around as they try to carry big water buckets over to the car. Or Lady Jay, Baroness, Scarlet from GI Joe in summer swimwear teasing Barbie who has arrived on scene, and is overdressed for the occasion

Oh, I missed that you also wanted movies... And some more characters. Elastigirl (The Incredibles) using her stretching to rub those hard to reach places. Violet standing next to Judy Jetson cheering on the singers. The Corvette from Heavy Metal, maybe with a little green glow... Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing (Hellsing) and maybe police girl, Seras Victoria. Major Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell) Sally (The Nightmare before Christmas) Stella (Interstella 5555) Pocahontas Lola Bunny (Space Jam) Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop) Dory (Finding Nemo), maybe playing with Ariel in some big tub? San (Princess Mononoke) hunting Lola Bunny for food? Hyzenthlay (Watership Down) Megumi Amano (Urotsukidoji I - Legend of the Overfiend) Arshes Nei (Bastard!!) Annapuma and Unipuma (Dominion Tank Police) Lucrezia Noin (Mobile Suit Gundam Wing) Naga the Serpent (Slayers) Naria and Eriya (The Vision of Escaflowne) Sylia Stingray (Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040) or maybe her evil clone Galatea. Milly Thompson (Trigun) Sawyer (Black Lagoon)

Ok... The Mario girls playing volleyball across a car. Wonderland's Queen saying 'Off with their Antenna's!', Alice eating a mushroom to reach up. Wilma and Betty (Flintstones) trying to tempt a tap to open with birdseed. Morticia Adams explaining to the manager that Thing identifies as female. (And that she isn't going to wash anything...) Jem getting electrocuted when plugging in her guitar. (Classic) She-ra using her sword power on a car, giving it wings. Heathcliff's Sonja pampering herself, while Callie Briggs (swat kats) looks on sharpening her claws. Gadget Hackwrench doing some maintenance under one of the cars. Princess Lana (Captain N) looking dejected at all the chaos around her. Janine Melnitz (The Real Ghostbusters) answering the phone. Lucy van Pelt (Charlie Brown) holding out a bucket, which doesn't trust. (Not sure who) Diana the Acrobat (Dungeons and Dragons) vaulting over a car, Sheila the Thief looking very curiously through an open car window. Evil-Lyn summoning rain, held back by Storm (X-Men). +1 for Arcee getting a thorough wash... Teela could be vigorously washing Arcee. Cheetara and Wilykit looking very uncomfortable with all the water. Flora (Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors) taking the time to water the plants. Gloria Baker (M.A.S.K.) lifting up a car with her force field, Vanessa Warfield... err... giving Arcee an energy boost? Ariel, the little mermaid, splashing about looking for water to breathe. Judy Jetson is cheering on Jem, while Jane Jetson is trying to help the Flintstones. Velma Dinkley (Classic) examining Thing, while Daphne is trying to get Wednesday to cheer up. Jessica Rabbit just draped over a car in the sexiest pose you can imagine but with bubbles just managing to cling to the naughty bits. (She's a tease) Rogue (X-Men) flying in to give Gloria a hand with the car. Tinkerbell teaching Smurfette how to fly. Linn Minmei (Macross/Robotech) preparing to sing next to Jem. Officer Anne Lewis (Yes, RoboCop was a saturday morning cartoon...) checking numberplates. Yumi (Ulysses 31) talking excitedly with Flora. Zia (The Mysterious Cities of Gold), hmmm... Also helping Flora? They're sort of similar. Æon Flux is preparing drinks, and totally not spiking them. Tula (Pirates of Dark Water) looking on suspiciously, smelling one of the drinks. Queen Tyr'ahnee looks ready to fight Linn Minmei for taking her spot singing. Barbara Gordon (Batman TAS) using some gadgets? Hannah Dundee (Cadillacs and Dinosaurs) bringing in her cadillac. Princess Jasmine desperately rubbing a lamp. Sue Storm is totally in the picture, honest, she's just invisible. And where oh where is Carmen Sandiego hiding? Holli Would (Cool World) tries to replicate Jessica Rabbit's style, but just can't match it. Princess What's-Her-Name (Earthworm Jim) using her hair to rub a car dry. Talyn (Skeleton Warriors) actually helping Jem. Chun-Li (Street Fighter TAS) fighting Sheeva (Mortal Kombat) on top of car. Blackarachnia (Beast Wars) looking down on Arcee with disgust. Princess Aura (Flash Gordon) looking at Tinkerbell and Smurfette like she wants some new pets. Zera (Shadow Raiders) another to add to the Flora, Yumi pile. You could pull in anyone through Celebrity Deathmatch, which is technically animated. ;-) Inque (Batman Beyond) making a sign, while trying to stay away from the water. Muriel (Courage the Cowardly Dog) sitting quietly knitting in the corner. Meg Griffin (Family Guy) trying to say something, but everyone around her saying 'Shut up Meg!'. Leela (Futurama) getting soap in her eye and knocking over Pvt. Isabelle 'Dizzy' Flores (Starship Troopers: The Series, yes they turned everything into a cartoon...). Sabrina Spellman (Teenage Witch) trying magic to clean a car, but turning it into something. Shout if you want more. :-)

LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS! Such a great show.

An idea that is open to alteration: Gi from Captain Planet and the Planeteers sprays water on the cars with her ring to rinse them off, but gets distracted by either someone's anatomy or something erotic going on, so the water goes off-course and hits Robot Jones from Whatever Happened to Robot Jones and causes him to short-circuit.

That's a really nice background and I really like how you've already kind of divided it up into different sections in order to allow for a number of different types of scenes to play out. Now, please correct me just in case I'm wrong regarding the whole setup, but I imagine this is like one of those charity drives where a bunch of bikini-clad women washes cars for a good cause, right? That's at least what came to mind when you first pitched the idea. Anyway, onto a few suggestions just off the top of my head: - Over the years there's been plenty of cat-like characters in cartoons, so it could be fun to see someone like Cheetara and/or Callie Briggs get sprayed or splashed with water and having them react just as you'd expect a regular cat would. - Having Arcee standing in as one of the cars getting washed could be a lot of fun, and would also add some interesting dynamics in terms of her sheer size compared to everyone else. I mean, you simply can't make a big picture like this that celebrates old saturday morning cartoons and not represent the Transformers in some fashion, right? - April O'Neil could be reporting on the event, dressed up in a bikini or swimsuit version of her classic yellow jumpsuit. - Adding a few characters from He-Man is almost a must, and you would barely even have to tweak the designs of their attire at all for them to fit right in with the setting. Teela and Evil-Lyn could engage in some form of personal competition while He-Man himself is caught up in the moment and just happily washes a car, to either the delight or disappointment of the owner. - It might be too small, but maybe have Smurfette and Gadget work on the (toy)car of some character of equal size to them.

Daphne and Velma on the Mystery Machine, naturally. But maybe Lady Jaye, Scarlet, and Cover Girl on the hood of a Joe vehicle as well?
