I've found this nifty reference website for artists called www.dimensions.com that has a database of exact measurements for various objects, plants, and animals

They have a premium version with 3D models that I haven't tried yet, but it's definitely very informative if you're trying to get the anatomy and proportions for different species of animals right!

KND COMMUNITY QUESTIONS CHALLENGE

Found this from user @arudan and wanted to take my shot at it since it's been an long while since I talked about KND (Aka Codename Kids Next Door)

When did you start watching the show?

Based on my memory, I remembered watching the show around 2002/2003 so right at the very beginning. I remembered watching a lot of the show when it came out and have a lot of vivid memories with the older seasons so with my calculations in mind, I would had been around 5-6 years old. Damn.

Favorite season?

Uh with that said, none of the seasons for me felt out of place at all and have their good and bad ones. Even when re-watching the series over again, I don't have one that stands out to mind. So in this case, all of the seasons are my favorite.

Favorite episode?

Remembered seeing this episode when it first came out and it's still an core memory to me which now looking it up, I did not realize it was an Season 6 episode and thought it was earlier; Operation: G.I.R.L.F.R.I.E.N.D.. It was one of the only episodes that has surprised me personally and affected how I view Nigel/Lizzie since I'll be honest, I thought their fate would be similar to 2/5 and 4/3.

Honorable mentions that I want to add here are Operation: S.P.R.O.U.T. (The humor with Numbuh 4 "dying" from eating healthy an A+ for me), Operation: L.I.Z.Z.I.E. (The relationships between the 1st couple in question with the other members of Sector V was very interesting and the dynamic in the episodes where fun), Operation: M.A.U.R.I.C.E. (Maurice is an good character and he makes the episode pretty solid along with an Number 5 themed episode which is always nice), Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y. (Solid holiday episode that I have most memory off since I owned it on DVD and it reminds me how much I like the series), Operation: T.H.E.-F.L.Y. (Really liked the different format they went for the episode for the fly and its nice to learn more about Sector V just based on visuals and music), and Operation: C.A.T.S. (Mr.Huggykins is the star of this episode)

Hated episode?

There's a couple of episodes in mind that I don't like cause it's forgettable or cause an character is annoying but at least the top two that come in mind that I don't really like is Operation: T.R.I.C.Y.C.L.E. and Operation: L.E.A.D.E.R. Due to Lizzie and Tommy (episodes in question featuring them as more important than normal) they become really annoying to watch.

Honorable mentions that I'm adding are, Operation: P.O.O.L. (Mainly cause they tried to make Numbuh 2 Alternative version funny when he's not); Operation: C.A.B.L.E.-T.V. (For the Baby jokes); Operation: W.H.I.T.E.H.O.U.S.E. (Forgettable); Operation: B.U.T.T. (Weird but even then, not that memorable either)

Favorite character?

Easily, Numbuh 5 as the best for me though generally I love most of the cast in the series. Still hold an nice nostalgia to me and can watch each of the main members greatly as each of them have solid episodes as main characters.

Did you cry when you watch OP INTERVIEWS?

I did got sad when seeing it as its an strong episode on its own though I was more sad of losing my nice dreams with the series since it was an obvious final episode.

Funniest moment?

Numbuh 4 with his anger with Rainbow Monkeys are an relatable yet fun treat for me. he's definitely the most comedic to me when it comes with the humor of the show in regards towards his reactions towards things, his answers with certain questions and his general demeanor.

Other funny moments in the show is in regards with the reactions the adults and kids make towards certain characters when they do an dumb action/ say something obviously stupid, Henrich as an character has humorous moments that I enjoy too and Ed, Edd n Eddy cameo appearance in The Grim Adventures of the KND as they were most respectful towards Sector V and summarized what they do perfectly in an harsh yet funny manner.

Saddest moment?

When the show ended since my dreams disappeared.

Otherwise though, it's hard to say that its not the moments that are sad, it's what happens afterwards or what happens in the show that makes it sadder for me.

Examples of this being but not limited too:

Lizzie and Nigel breaking up with each other (Long term it makes sense that they break up but it's how it happens that makes it sad)

In Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P. at the very end when Father gets dumped in cold ice-cream and is just shiving on the ground while Sector V cheers that they defeated the bad guy. While I'll be honest, its funny how messed up that is in hindsight and even though he is the villain in that episode (and in the series) it was still sad and the delivery the voice actor and animators did with it was excellent.

For Numbuh 3 in the episode Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y. on how she's the only one out of the group that considers giving gifts while everyone else forgets. I can relate to her in that sense and just felt bad for her for the episode with that in mind. Even with the present that Numbuh 4 gives her (which is sad in general cause it's not even full fries, it's like 4 out of the whole thing) , it's lucky that Numbuh 3 saw it more as an nice thing than I did.

The final episode for it ended with an follow up to an sequel series that was unfortunately never created. Along with the unknown fate that the Delightful Children from Down the Lane ended up having.

Operation: Z.E.R.O. for learning about how the Delightful Children from Down the Lane ended up the way they did.

Favorite KND artist?

This is hard to pick since weirdly enough I do not follow many KND artists despite liking the series myself. I think it's one of those things that I don't interact with the fandom much so I had to think on it.

At least where it stands it's an tie between these three (Using Instagram to find them faster though I do know they all having different socials too)

Favorite canon KND ship?

Lizzie/Nigel even though 3/4 and 2/5 are favorites as well. All three ships had a lot of focus in the series that showed different aspects of the type of people they like and how they handle each other which was nice to learn.

Favorite headcanon KND ship?

N/A since I don't usually have headcanons for ships.

What’s one thing you love about the fandom?

The fanart produced by people all around and the different ideas that get from watching the same content. Sometimes I don't agree with the fanart but it's nice to look at. The fanfictions with fandoms are pretty nice too though I rarely read it and don't read any from this series.

What’s one thing you hate about the fandom?

Can not say much for this fandom since I am not an active member but more information on this will be seen down below with this question: What’s one thing you wish would stop in the fandom?

Do you wish there were more die hard KND fans in the fandom?

Since I am not active I can not answer this full-heartly. However, if there was more fanart of the series that was easier to find, then yeah, that would be nice.

When did you start drawing KND art?

Middle school I believe and even then, most of those were private to self. Otherwise publicly posting it, early high school so like three years later.

How old were you when you started drawing KND art?

Redundant question as this would mean I would be around 11-12 when I started (middle school)

How old are you now and are you still drawing KND art?

Currently 26 years old but have not drawn KND art. Real answer is just no motivation to do so but want to try again (hopefully it can happen) I think the reason why I'm more scared of drawing from this show than some of the other ones I do is cause of my judgemental attitude with myself and feel like how inaccurate it is toward the character. That mixed with insecurities and commitment issues towards drawing the series.

What’s one thing you wish would stop in the fandom?

Hard to say that I'm not an active member in the KND fandom but I think in general, I wish people would not become hive-minds and attack others with no evidence. Malicious people with intended good intentions tend to be more harmful than they realized and will attack you at good timing, especially if you let them know your schedule ahead of time.

I have seen this a lot with various of other fandoms and touchy with from myself due to past experiences with an different fandom. Too scared to interact much from any fandom now cause of this issue and it sucks cause it fuels my trust issues I have in the first place.

Quick pick your favorite 2x4?

The weapon that covers people in hot sauce is the first that comes into mind (S.P.I.C.E.R.) Though in reality with really thinking about it, my favorite 2x4 technology is C.O.O.L.B.U.S or P.O.W.U.H.P.A.C.K since both seem useful.

What’s your Codename?

Uh, hard to say since I don't use one currently. For now, just for harmless fun it will be Codename N/A.

Here's the Pokemon Concierge theme ("Have a Good Time Here") by Mariya Takeuchi.

[mllermanda]

This one is an simpler design since despite saving a lot of artwork for me to post towards Tumblr. This this collage piece, I wanted to take pictures of off people who had connected with the Party Crashers (along with themselves of course) in an cool punk style.

I can currently not draw a lot of new fanart due towards my tablet not working. I have to wait til Christmas to get an new one so until then, I would have to delay in posting anything fanart related unless if it's simple.

Another redraw of an old doodle that I had in my sketch book of Viktor Licht from Fire Force. His design reminds me a lot of Vincent from Catherine mixed with Stein from Soul Eater.

Redrew one of my older drawings that I kept in my sketch book as this is Pi-chan from Ranma 1/2. The style of the series looks super nice and I'm pretty happy with the results.
