Description To those of you who followed me for something OTHER than Dexter's Lab fanart I promise I will draw something else....eventually!  But DL fanart is quick and just too fun, and lately I've had a whole lot of ideas.

This is actually a little illustration from my Ego Trip fanfiction, where Mandark and Dee Dee go on their first date.  I wanted to try my hand at the vintage Hanna Barbera style used in the flashbacks from the movie.  I love how those scenes looked, and it's a fun challenge to draw the characters in a different style.  If you want to read the scene that inspired this drawing you can check out Chapter Five of "Core" here!

Between your Dexter fan art that looks straight out of the show and your gorgeous Fooled designs, I must say you're insanely talented! A good writer as well. I know there will probably not be a Core sequel but I live in hope, as it was an incredibly good read. The characterizations were on point and even though he's evil in it, I enjoy any well written Deedark fics I can find.

That's so sweet, thank you!  Of course I always love to meet another Deedark fan and I'm happy to enable anyone I can.   I probably won't write an actual *sequel* to Core but I had some thoughts for a prequel when they were still kids....though whether that will ever see the light of day remains to be seen! I did write the story of Fooled though, I don't know if you had a chance to check it out but you might want to give it a look if you've been enjoying the artwork, it's posted in my Fooled gallery here on DA.

The style looks like "The X's" cartoon.

Really? I've never seen that show! This was based on old HB or UPA cartoons.

NebbaMasterpiece9000 In reply to Wickfield [2016-07-21 18:00:45 +0000 UTC]

I know that. But I'm talking about the style from the Nicktoons series "The X's," which kinda looks like the style from the opening and closing credits of Pixar's The Incredibles. That's why if you look up The X's and the opening title of The Incredibles, the style looks pretty much like the kind you used here.

It seems a lot of cartoons use that vintage style.  I'll have to check it out!

I absolutely love the style here. Minimalistic but super expressive. Haven't read your fanfic yet, but I'll try to in the future.

Wickfield In reply to Code-E [2016-07-12 15:25:11 +0000 UTC]

That's something I've really come to admire about the mid-century Hanna Barbera type of art, how you can create so much character with so few lines!  

And I hope you get a chance to check out the story.  If you do, be sure to let me know what you think!

I love this!  And I loved this part of the fanfiction; it was possibly the only part that wasn't sad or dramatic lol

Surely there was something else...maybe...somewhere?  Hehe what can I say, drama is fun to write!

O man... mmm... maybe when Dexter and Mandark went to that job interview?
And twice as fun to read I can assure you

Haha, yep, that was the other one!  I don't mind too much, the original show could lay on the melodrama pretty thick at times itself!

I love this vintage style. You represent the characters in a modern future with a style reminiscent of the past, this is fun.     (I love your ego trip fanction        )

That part of the movie really was one of my favorite scenes, the style was just too cute!  And thank you for being so nice about my fanfic too, I worked really hard on it!

You were very good at giving the dee perspective. But I thought would have appeared lalavava to tease Susan..

Thanks!  I just didn't want to include too many characters or plotlines...although she did get a shoutout in Chapter 5!

Thanks!  I designed Dee Dee's "flashback design" a few years ago, it was fun to draw her again!

pfft honestly let her leave
tbh as much as i ship main deedark i have a thing for dee dee being uninterested in exec mandark. (cuz i hate exec mandark. fucking onceler lookin asshole.)

Wickfield In reply to MightyMewtron [2016-07-06 20:51:55 +0000 UTC]

Yes I feel exactly the same way, Dee Dee x Exedark is a terrible combo.  (So I draw it as often as possible lol  )

And Exedark was first, so Onceler looks like him!

MightyMewtron In reply to Wickfield [2016-07-06 21:24:00 +0000 UTC]

i honestly dislike pretty much any ship with ego trip mandark. ego trip kind of takes away any remnant of soul he has in the mainverse (which isn't necessarily bad, but it just kills the appeal)
in 2015 i made a joke scribble of exedark as onceler. they even both got a little ginger enemy ;0
