MOON A/FX PROTOTYPE DRAWINGS

Hey Gang!!! I thought I'd share a drawing I did of the Mooneyes prototype A/FX funny car. I really dig the way 50's experimental prototype cars look and wanted to combine it with a Mooneyes look. Being an animator and cartoonist, my drawings still seem to retain a cartoony edge. Enjoy! Take care and thanks for stopping by. Your Cartoon Drag Fink Pal...Jeff 

Coming back online this week. Each day I'll post a little about what I've been up to, culminating in a return to regular posting this weekend.

One-Goth Cartoons

The following are goth girls from animated shorts/pilots that were collected in animation showcases like Random! Cartoons. Too bad they're just "one-shot" cartoons and were never given their own series.

Lacey Shadows from The Modifyers. She only appeared in the pilot because the cartoon had never been green-lighted by Nickelodeon. It's too bad because the setting is Steampunk. It's a very rare yet amazing theme. And the art in the show is just as gothic and beautiful. Lacey works for the creepy Baron Vain (lives under a cemetery) in stealing precious artifacts and she's his favorite. Her teammate is a no good rat named Runt. But actually, goth Lacey Shadows is preppy Agent Xero (reminds me of Ami from Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi). She's a master of disguise and together with her modular partner Molly, a part of a secret mystery cracking team known as The Modifyers. She only disguised herself as Lacey Shadows to foil the evil plans of Baron Vain.

Rosemary from Kyle + Rosemary. It's about teenage romance that started in the online game Quest World. Kyle is a geek and played a knight who fell in love with a dark sorceress named Lunarella. She's actually Rosemary, one of the goth group. She's the first to find out  it was the geeky Kyle whom she fell in love with in Quest World. When she revealed her real identity to him, they became socially awkward and kept their relationship a secret due to peer pressure. But in the end, at prom night, Kyle dressed up as a goth and Rosemary put on a normal get-up (she's actually a brunette). Their friends were shocked but they two didn't care and walked under the stars.

.

Tess from Girls on the Go. This is also a cartoon about teenage love. But the protagonist is Kat while Tess is her goth best friend. Kat found a love note signed by Spencer who, according to Tess, is the classiest and handsomest guy in school. But he turned out to be this pudgy, gross guy. In the end, it was Tess who became his girlfriend and Kat found the real handsome Spencer. What's cool about Tess is she sleeps upside down on a tree with her pet bat. She also created a love potion made from toenails. And the creator, Aliki Theofilopoulos, voiced Crimson, the other goth girl in "Kyle + Rosemary".

.

Gloom from Sparkles and Gloom. Set in a fairytale world where goody cutesy things live together with the dark forces of evil. Sparkles and Gloom are the daughters of Prince Charming and the Evil Witch. They both attend Geevil School where sparkly pink, and grim gloomy creatures are encouraged to be friends. But chaos usually happens especially between Sparkles and Gloom. In the episode, they quarreled so badly that their powers were switched. Because of this, Gloom was forced to join the puffy ballet group for the talent show. While Sparkles had gone goth and joined Gloom's boney rock band.
.

Anemia from Anemia and Iodine. The show is from KaBlam! I put her here coz KaBlam! is an old Nickelodeon show that features one-time shorts, too. Anemia is a goth girl cat who loves the mystical and supernatural. Her room is full of books and potions, and a skull named Muriel. Anemia's best friend is a skater girl named Iodine. In the episode, they went to Malaria Manor to conduct a seance and free the cat ghost that haunts it.

Phantom of Inferno

The work which made a hard-boiled system adventure game for adults for PC that animated cartoon "Phantom of Inferno" was released than Nitroplus in February, 2000 and PS2 Anime. It was become OVA in 2004, and it was broadcasted as a TV animated cartoon from April, 2009 to September.

Assassin / Tsubai of a crime syndicate / the inferno sent days to handle a mission given with assassin / Ain of the inferno best having the title of the phantom. In fact, Tsubai was an ordinary Japanese tourist, but it was found talent as the assassin by an executive officer / the Saise = master of the inferno, and it was erased memory, and it was taken in the inferno.

When I trained Tsubai as an assassin, Saise imposed intense training as thinking ability was lost on Tsubai and schemed it to bring him up as a slave of a complete organization. However, of Saise is not going to know it, and Tsubai regains the will that does not lose destined power. I stole eyes of rhinoceroses, and Crowe Deer / Makkinen which was his boss whispered it when "you must not think with the slave of the organization" at the ear of Tsubai and suggested the possibility that free way of life was had for. Tsubai has begun to grope for way of life that was not the slave of the organization at the depth of the heart although cannot remember, in fact, who oneself was.

Rest in Popularity

I've been listing goth girls of TV cartoon shows. But let's go to other 

media and know the most popular goth girls there, from dolls to comics.

Emily the Strange (apparel). She must be the most popular goth girl icon I know. She came to life in the early 1990's and quickly became a beloved counterculture icon all around the world. In her earliest years, she was a quiet but sharp-witted stranger, slinging philosophy and cultural observations in a series of hand-screened t-shirts and stickers. As her presence grew and became a standard in the cultural underground, Emily's own story began to emerge in a series of gift books, then comic-books and graphic novels, and now a novel series for young adults. Emily's not your average thirteen year-old-girl. Pink is her worst nightmare...she wears the same black dress every day. She loves math and science. Her best friends are her four black cats: Mystery, Sabbath, Miles and Neechee! She's into rock and punk. Emily is so anticool she's cool... a subculture of one, and a follower of no one but herself.

.

Death from The Sandman (graphic novel). Death is the second eldest of "The Endless", a family who embodies the powerful aspects of the universe. There's Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Despair, Desire and Delirium. In the stories, Death is both the end of life and a psychopomp. She also visits people when they are born. But one day every century, Death lives (and dies) as a mortal, in order to understand the value of the life she takes. Being Death, she's possibly to be the most powerful of the Endless; bound by no rules; feared by the Furies; and may survive the end of the universe. Though most personifications of death is the Grim Reaper or some shady stranger, here Death is a goth girl, who is, ironically, pleasant, down-to-earth, perky and kind-hearted. Her look was inspired by co-creator Dringenberg's goth friend, Cinnamon.

.

Monster High (dolls). This is the most popular Mattel fashion dolls liked by goths. Who wouldn't like monster-inspired dolls with goth chic fashion? Though they have that Bratzy look and preppy attitude, their character designs and the plot setting are indeed gruesomely awesome. The main characters are Frankie Stein (the "fragile" new girl/monster), Draculaura (a hemophobic perky vampire), and Clawdeen Wolf (the werewolf fashion diva). There's also Lagoona Blue (sporty daughter of the Gill-Man) and Ghoulia Yelps (the nerdy zombie girl). Their main mean girl is none other than the mummified Egyptian princess, Cleo De Nile. There are many more scary characters from Monster High in their webtoons, books and film. Check them out here: http://www.monsterhigh.com/

.

Devi D. from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (comics). Devi first appeared in the Meanwhile comic, Somewhere Else, where she was dating a guy with irritable bowel syndrome. She then appeared in the main plot as Johnny's love interest. They first met in a bookstore where she works until Devi asked him out. Nny liked her so much to the extent of murdering her so he can "immortalize" their sweet moment. But Devi is the only character who was able to beat him up and ran away. From that horrible experience, Devi  became a paranoid and locked herself up in her apartment where she spent most of her time painting. Devi then got her own spin-off entitled I Feel Sick as continuation where she battles the same psychotic forces in her life, in the form of a painting of a doll. In the story, she became a graphic designer for the evil Nerve Publishing while her insane best friend, Tenna, tries to persuade her to go out more. It was revealed that Devi is an introverted goth and had a lot of bad dates.

.

Misa Amane from Death Note (manga/anime). Okay, we're going to anime. Misa is a true goth. Not gothic, not lolita, not emo,  not cosplayer; She's not the silent moody girl, not the dark good girl, not creepy little girl, not magical demon girl. She's goth. In the story, Misa is a popular Japanese model and actress. She is immature, hyperactive and happy-go-lucky. A shinigami named Gelus fell in love with her and died as consequence. Then she had two shinigamis, Rem and Ryuk. Misa is completely devoted to Light although the feeling is hardly mutual, since Light merely views her as a rather annoying asset and uses her. He also sees her as a bad person who killed innocent people.Her look was inspired by gothic lolita, but the creators wanted more goth and rock in her to convey the gothic and dark imagery of the Shinigami.

Germaine from Neurotically Yours (webtoon). Germaine is the owner of Foamy, a neurotic talking squirrel. She's in her twenties and tries to be a professional poet, but her poetry is never appreciated. She spends her time on her computer, reading mystic books, meditate with witchcraft, hang out in coffee shops and of course, with her annoying pet Foamy. She got issues about her weight, which as episodes progress, she gains more and more. She's a feminist and complains about pervy guys and slutty girls. Ironically and disappointingly, she herself became one. She's originally the main character but Foamy the squirrel became more popular because of his angry rants against society. There are many more goth webtoons in Newgrounds: http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/goth.

Anyone know a goth girl as the central character in a video game?
