Oekaki boards
Anyone knows active Oekaki boards where people aren't retarded? (so not 4chan's, sorry) All the Oekakis I used to draw on seem deserted these days, even Oekaki Central.

The Nativity, or how Jesus got molested*
*Or how Jesus was a motherfucker**
There's an interesting article in The Stranger, A Lay in a Manger, about the eroticism in religious classical paintings of the Nativity.
I've heard the arguement of religion's utility in society in relation to the Catholic church's sponsorship of arts & science in the Middle-Ages and Renaissance. This ignores the facts that there existed no other institutions. It's also ironic that the sponsorship of science by the church would only serve to diminish the same church's power. And as far as the arts go, it seems if you wanted to draw smut, you had to paint religious smut. (and not the kind that's in the Bible)
Money Quote:
"In many hundreds of pious, religious works, from before 1400 to past the mid-16th century, the ostensive unveiling of the Child's sex, or the touching, protecting, or presentation of it, is the main action," Steinberg writes. The sex of Christ in art history is a "long-suppressed matter of fact."
Steinberg has some disturbing news about that sweet little affectionate chin chuck the baby gives his mother in paintings such as Jan van Hemessen's Madonna and Child from 1543: It's an old erotic gesture dating back to early Egyptian and Greek art. "The chin-chuck, then, betokens the Infant Spouse," Steinberg writes.
To Steinberg, this all is evidence of the divinity of Christ through His humanity. Christ isn't like other babies. He doesn't crawl. He gets fondled by family members.
Thankfully the church has cleaned its act since then... </sarcasm>
**Of course Jesus is a motherfucker. Not only because of all the molestation going on in those classical pictures. But he also impregnated his mom as the Holy Ghost. HOLY INCESTUOUS TRINITY, BATMAN!

December's Dr.Sketchy
After skipping on November, I went to this December's Dr.Sketchy life drawing session. Those sessions are held in a lot of major cities in North America around the world, so check it out if you're interested. It's all about fun, no critiques and sexy models. Nothing to do with academic life drawing.

pics, animation test + fanarts
2 new pics in the gallery. A Flash animation puppet of Twiggy for episode 24. The black suit should prove usefull, as it will be easier to animate. Also a sketch from the convention.
As well as Twiggy, there will be a new character introduced in episode 24. Mao-Mix: the communist furry. Here's a first animation test.
4 new fanarts from GenfGuy, Frank, Heather and Stéfani.

Back in NG' TOP 50
For the first time in years, Miss Dynamite is back in Newgrounds' Best of All Time TOP 50! Sitting presently at #7, I don't think I've ever got that high. Miss Dynamite has been on Newgrounds for so long, I sometimes feel she's forgotten, since she can't have the appeal of something new. In french we say, "faire partie des meubles". That means you're part of the furniture; you're usefull, but not aknowledged. But I guess I was wrong to feel that way. I'm gonna open a bottle of Diet Coke to celebrate. Thank you all for voting. I know it sucks that I can't do big updates more often. Animation is such a bitch, you work months for 3 minutes of entertainment. It's not much when compared to the 40 minutes a week a show gives you on TV. So I appreciate your patience. Thanks to Kagome, Mizura and Tomamoto for the voices. Thank you also to Michelle (Sharem) who helped me in the old days when I had so much more time to work on these, not having to pay a rent. Miss Dynamite will be back with episode 24 (I'm done with roman numerals), introducing Twiggy, a girl who appeared in the print comics only, plus a new characters named Mao-Mix.
