I'd really like to see more work on this, it's great!

TOTPS.

Nice mini-bump there DannyJC13, I second that emotion! It looks better than my hand-drawn attempt many moons ago...

I e-mailed Kif White using the e-mail address on his profile (duh) about the cast photo, and got this as a reply:

Hello Dan,

Kenneth disappeared ages ago and we have no clue what happened to him.Since we switched domains, the kenneth@futurama-madhouse.com.araddress is no longer a good means to reach him; it redirects to thefuturama-madhouse.net catch-all email address, which is my gmail.

Read you later,Leandro.

Oh, that's too bad. This is excellent and I've gleefully wasted ten or so minutes poring through the fullsize version of the first post there.

[Reply #124 on:]

Maybe he'll come back, it's just a matter of waiting...

[Reply #125 on:]

Let's hope so, it's always sad to see people who were prominent members of the community just disappear. If he's simply moved on then he's simply moved on I guess. Hope he's doing well, whatever he's doing now, but yeah, would be nice to see him return

Also, Otis, you shouldn't demean your own picture - in my mind that is equally as good, plus the fact that it was all done with traditional media - something I wouldn't dare doing(!) - but you pulled it off really well. In fact I think it's among the best pieces of fan-art anyone here has produced

[Reply #126 on:]

Thanx Zed 85, means a lot, especially as you're a great artist as well. I remember part one and two took a year each and a lot of the characters now didn't even exist back then, seems like a lifetime ago ...

Cheers Otis
What I particularly remember fondly is seeing it progress - like with Kenneth's as well - but yours actually evolved with the age of the ink. Leela's hair was bluish to begin with but became more and more purple as it faded

Ah, yeah it does seem a very long time ago. Kinda scary to think that it's 10 years this year since we started out here, and a lot of the stuff I remember doing in the time since is still now many years ago, but hey, we're still here, we're still doing art and Futurama's returned! And a few long-losts have returned, there's still several more that have not yet - I hope Ken is among those who will eventually return to the fold

[Reply #128 on:]

Yeah I remember her hair colour changing slightly now you mention it. I wonder what it looks like now, it's tucked away in one of my portfolios. You're right it's kinda scary how practically a decade has flown by. It's been good though, and yeah who knew Futurama would actually return! We stuck it out and I agree, I hope Ken comes back as well. Also Teral, dunno where he went...

[Reply #129 on:]

Any chance, Otis, that you have a link to the thread on this masterpiece? I'd like to see it but I am too lazy to comb through years of old threads. (If you don't, no problem.)

[Reply #130 on:]

No problem, well this is my old art thread, but I checked to see if they're still working and all of the pictures have died for my Cast Of Characters. There are some other pieces still alive though!...

To see my Cast Of Characters (both parts) you'll have to go to The Leela Zone, they're both on there with most of my other Futurama art ...

[Reply #131 on:]

Thanks for that! Yeah, nice job with the cast picture there, they all look really accurate.

[Reply #132 on:]

Damn, that's one awesome picture. Too bad a lot of major characters are missing though...

[Reply #133 on:]

Who's it missing? Granted I haven't really combed through the whole thing yet (it has been sitting in a tab on the far left for over two days now, waiting for some of the many opportune moments I've had to go back and examine it and feel like a loser for not recognising a quarter of the people) but it seems pretty packed to the gills.

[Reply #134 on:]

@Otis - It has been a good 10 years

And Teral, I miss him quite a lot.

Fry, a few others... He adds them in as he goes along though, so they're not all clumped together in the middle. It looks good.

Thanx, glad you liked it ...

Yeah, I tried emailing him a while ago, but no response ...

[Reply #137 on:]

Likewise

[Reply #138 on:]

I do worry about certain Peeler's, especially Teral as he was one of the main posters here for so many years. Hopefully he's ok and he'll come back one day ...
