Fan Art, Episode VI: The One with the Damned Ewoks

[Reply #200 on:]

Yes, we all demand that version, but yours is very nice that you posted, so I'm not complaining. It's quite nice.

[Reply #201 on:]

You people are so damn talented! Why can't draw like that?!?!? HUH?

Hmm, you're right, the sketch was promising, but difficult to conceptualise something finished from it... but you've done well. Very interesting.

Is she just posing for Fry? Maybe you could have given her a practical reason for the pose, by having her cleaning the glass. Portholes don't stay spotless on their own, y'know! 

On second thought, that's a bit mundane. Keep her looking mysterious and sexy...

Whoo! Go offline for a day, come back to find a huge bunch of replies! Thank you - really makes it feel worthwhile 

@ Beamer and Professor Zoidy: The main difference in the version that Ralph alluded to (yes, cheers, Ralph!  ) was that it was, of course, 850x650 instead of 600x420...

Plus the pic was evidently taken later on in the evening... No, you're (as is anyone else) very welcome to see the other version, but I think this is a rare occassion where the clothed version is actually better than the nude. Won't post on peel, but happy to exchange via email - thatenglishguy@hotmail.com

I reckon maybe I have been a prima donna about this 'un - it's a nice shot, good enough blance/remedy to the 'aw, poor Leela!' style of pic that I (and others!) sometimes do  It's a shame that the idea behind it wasn't as good as some of the execution (though I've just realised why it looks a little odd - 2 different shading styles used, 1 for L. and a different one for the background, doh!), but you can't get everything right every time.

Anyhoo, thank you for the kind comments and helpful ideas (amazed - and pleased! - that you liked her legs, THJim, struggled a bit with them, so I'm glad the effort paid off!). Will try to ensure future efforts are worthy of a look and a post   

P.S. - Corvus - I scan the pics in and line them on paint shop pro (7), thanks for asking  . I used to ink, but it's a lot of hard, finicky work - way easier to pc it! The original sketch post earlier in the thread was the same file I used to complete this pic - altered legs, butt, feet, all at the pc-lining stage. Also made up the background at this stage, as it was a pretty simple one.

Can't find an example of my earlier inked efforts, but do take my word for it, they were cruder! I don't have the steady hand, vision, and patience to ink properly, as an effect; and besides, once the big man, Paul Metcalfe, taught me how to line on pc, never looked back!

Everyone is doing Futurama iPod ads, so here is my attempt:

[Reply #205 on:]

That's awesome.  Awesome to the max.

Which episode is that pose from?

[Reply #206 on:]

Nice pic Marcus. I like where you have taken the pic and it is nice to see you sorted out the problems you were having with it. I do like the hair, very funky.

And alternate versions of pics are always interesting to see [hint hint].

At any rate I hope this means we may be seeing more of your art again, tis always nice to see.

[Reply #207 on:]

That is so cool THJ.

Yours is too, Marcus!

That is his pimp walk from "Put Your Head on My Shoulders".

Man, that's right awesome to the max, THJim! Very nice iPod details. I'm very pleased, and so is the box.

A bit of a late reply, but nonetheless...

[Reply #212 on:]

Well, here comes the most fairy-ific scan ever.

and All the pretty colors....

[Reply #213 on:]

I've finally got a new all-in-one printer - and the scanner works 
So here's a scan of a drawing that I did awhile ago.

Here's the uncoloured drawing

[Reply #214 on:]

Great pics guys.

[Reply #215 on:]

wow, that's a great pic fdq. 

[Reply #216 on:]

@FDQ: Wow, awesome, and for the record, I loathe your scanner.

[Reply #217 on:]

Like the pic and love the uncoloured base picture! Is the seam of Fry's jeans - and therefore his legs - a little off centre? I think that's the only real niggle  Congrats on an excellent side on view of Leela, btw, I know I can never get that right!

[Reply #218 on:]

Great work FDQ

[Reply #219 on:]

heres some thing i made in 5 minute
just simple

I see what you mean. The top half of Fry is side-on and his pants three quater 
I think it's because I had trouble drawing both his and Leela's pants sideways. That's why Leela's wearing a dress - easier to draw.  I couldn't really do that with Fry, so I just left it and hoped no-one would notice...

[Reply #221 on:]

.

Leela(glory included!)

[Reply #222 on:]

To Fan art or not to fan art that is the question today

[Reply #223 on:]

Great stuff here guys.

I've finally done another one if anyone's interested...
It's Amy - mostly inspired by a crazy dream I once had (no sh*t!)

Large pic - 56Ks/low screen resolutioners be fairly warned...

I took a step back by adding lines again - couldn't be arsed to do it the other way - it is a bit late at night - so much of it is kinda rushed. Also I'm well aware I drew a pic of Amy with almost the exact same expression not so long ago...er...just pretend that I didn't...

[Reply #224 on:]

holy zombie jesus Zed that's amazing!

[Reply #225 on:]

...uh, so, is she like, a ghost or something?

[Reply #226 on:]

That is amazing, Zed. 

Like Kryten, I'm not entirely sure what's going on in the picture.  Just what happened in that crazy dream of yours?

[Reply #227 on:]

Is that reference to something?
That is just amazing.

[Reply #228 on:]

Damn you and your amazing talent, Doug... 

[Reply #229 on:]

Nice, Kinda reminds me of Yorda from Ico (dispite the dress looking quite different). Not sure on her left eye though, seems a little off. Still nice job.

[Reply #230 on:]

Cheers for all the comments everyone 
Yeah, she's a ghost - technically.
Purely the result of the specific mood I was in last night.

But the dream - well I describe it in detail in one of the dream threads but the slightly less freaky jist of it* is basically Amy dies for one reason or another - murdered basically...and years later her ghost is wandering country roads, still quite unaware that she's dead - the shot is, as such, realisation.

Yorda and Ico = over my head TBH

Yeah, I do see what you mean by that - though I kinda think the left eye is in the correct place - just certain other things are in the wrong place; poor perspectivenesessesss - wait a sec, by Left you mean her left, yep?

 

 

 


*The full freaky jist of it is that I dreamt I was on some cruise ship - and Amy was one of the passengers. Then there was a terrorist hostage situation, but me and a group of others, including Amy, were not captured, and managed to get some guns and retake the ship - I didn't actually do much, just ran around a lot, the rest of the real fighting was done by the slightly more braver of our group. But anyway, once the fighting had stopped, we looked around and Amy had just..well...died.
Later on in the dream, it was some years later, and I was driving along a country A-road when suddenly I saw Amy walking along the side. I stopped the car and had a chat with her - all the while she had no idea that she was dead and had been for about five years. That is effectively where this pic comes from. Though I did take some artistic licences.

Incidentally the dream I had about Leela dying, I'm turning into a fan-fic - it won't be the usual kind of main-character-has-died-fics, I sware 
But the reason I kept this small was to lessen the "What-the-fkc-are-you-on!?!" effect 

[Reply #231 on:]

@Zed85

That's some great awesome art with Amy there..

Can I ask how you did that alpha effect with the lower part of her body? Layers? Filters? Any other Photoshop voodoo technique?   

[Reply #232 on:]

More iPod!

[Reply #233 on:]

Looking neat THJ   

Ta, Corvus - the way I did the fade was basically with layers. I technically kept all my Amy layers and "background" layers seperate. I thought I'd clone the Amy layers and erase the bottom of them away with a non-solid, and very wide brush. But then I thought it would actually be easier just to copy all layers with just the Background layers - then paste the single-layered copy on top of Amy, then erase away the top of the layer to reveal just enough of Amy - but not too much because I never bothered to draw her feet - and that would have looked nasty if the cut off became clear. But yeah - I hope that made the blindest bit of sense?      

Anyway - got another Amy pic for you - should be much more self-explanitory since there's nothing really to explain.
Hope you all likes   


-edit - warning - large pic again...

[Reply #234 on:]

Christ man, you can draw!

[Reply #235 on:]

Nasty  Zed.

[Reply #236 on:]

Ta 

Have one more for the night



Make up your own explanations for it... 

[Reply #237 on:]

She was at a Madonna fund-raiser to make sure that Madonna would stay dead. Leela was the least-sluttiest looking woman there. Then she realized that it wasn't a fund-raiser, it was a Like A Virgin Strip Club. Siiiiiiiiiiigh. 

Totally random. But I love both of them, they are shaded so perfectly.

[Reply #238 on:]

Woooooooow people! Awesomeness!!!

Yes.. It did make sense. In a layered sort of way. 

Very nice Amy and Leela.
