The only way i know of that you get good results is tracing the image in freehand.

It does take edges but it works all the time.

Can someone explain why anyone would want to do it apart from getting a caricature of yourself done.

We are actually looking for someone to do a full cartoon animation sequence for us but its difficult to find anyone who can do this with caricatures.

a) there are people getting off over cartoon porn
b) cartoon porn is a workaorund in some places where actual porn is not tolerated but drawings are

Yes, if it's for a toon site where you want something not all the other sites have. Have the real content in the niche site, get content made into cartoons for the toon niche site.

If it's not for toon niche content then it probably depends on what you want it for.

a) Yeah I know that, I used to do pretty well with Hentai, but what I mean is if you want a toon site then just buy toon content. Obviously if it's cheaper to get 10,000 images or more converted to "toon" then I suppose it's worth it.

b) It wouldn't be a work around if you are using actual underage, bestiality or whetever to have the toons made from.

It's totally different to have a genuine drawn image and one made from a picture.

a) bought toon content is either used on every other toon site out there or expensive. if you use your own exclusive content, it's original. i do think there is a point, if one wants to deal with a toon site.

b) there are countries that disallow porn when it's photos or vids, but not drawings, no need to lower oneself to illegal shit. whether those countries create big enough a market to make it worthwhile is another matter.

Yaay bollocks lol

seriously though, making a static image toon is a hella lot easier than an animated one. I used to do them using photoshop illustrator and knew a few artists that were amazing at them..or is it sorta a comic strip you are looking for?

Deviantart dot com is a good place to get hold of digital artists if you are wanting a good deal :) x
