My Shippy Art!

[on:]

Hello all.  I'm not usually an artist, but for some reason i've been having trouble staying away from my sketchbook lately and all i've wanted to draw are futurama characters.  Or, more specifically, Fry/Leela.  Here's my first one:

Enjoy!



(ignore the sketchy outline of Leela in the left hand corner of the pic)

EDIT: Close up! (eg. original size in my sketch book)

[Reply #3 on:]

Thanks!  Here are two more drawings of that same X-mas night:



In the first one, what could be in the box Leela's holding that's making Fry so nervous..? A ring perhaps? Or a very compact diamond scrunchy...?

EDIT: Close ups!

[Reply #10 on:]

These are all so cute!

[Reply #11 on:]

What's shippy + art? Sharp! I'd totally dig it. These are sweet though. Christmas is a wonderful time isn't it?

[Reply #12 on:]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH CUTE YAYAYAYAY

[Reply #13 on:]

nice 

[Reply #14 on:]

Yet another pic.  Fry's tried to surprise Leela with breakfast in bed... didn't quite work out the way he wanted it to...



I've kind of ended up designing their future apartment...  That or Leela finally got that window installed and Fry brought in more furniture.

[Reply #15 on:]

Ho noes! Lol, very cute, and clever for hand drawing.

[Reply #16 on:]

Cutie Mc cute cute

[Reply #17 on:]

Fry and a hot stove at the same time?  That's a hospital visit waiting to happen 

Seriously though, nice work.

[Reply #18 on:]

Thank you all for the compliments! 

For a change of pace, I attempted to draw a Kif/Amy pic.  My first time doing them with a full body, my second time doing their heads.

Enjoy!

[Reply #19 on:]

That Amy & Kif drawing is very good, you're quite the shippy artist

[Reply #20 on:]

Great work! I like how you started with the shapes. Starting with shapes are always good! I can see where the lines were moves around a bit and erased. Some people think that it is bad, but for a sketch, it gives the peice character. (I'm in art school so I think about these things a lot) The hands look a little small. I stuggle with hand too.    Darn them. I kinna want to see what is behind the one with Kiff. Looks colorful and interesting. Keep up the great work, I love them!!!

[Reply #21 on:]

Awesome work! I really like the one of Amy and Kif. It's a change of character. 

[Reply #22 on:]

Not my ship but....AHHHHHHHH CUTE AND SHIPPY YAYAYAYAYAYAY *throws shippy party* WHEEEEEEE SHIPPY PARTY YAYAYAY

[Reply #23 on:]

The one behind the Kif/Amy one isn't quite finished.  Well the outlines of the characters are, but I haven't finished the colouring.  I need to get better pencil crayons before i go back to that one.

Edit: and yeah, hands are HARD.  I've tried starting with shapes for them, but they always end up waaaay too big when i do them that way.

[Reply #24 on:]

Lovely pictures, fryandlemon. 

[Reply #25 on:]

i never colour in

[Reply #26 on:]

yeah i wanna see the colourful one

[Reply #27 on:]

Not my favorite picture...don't really like how Fry turned out, but it's too late to change it now.  Thought I'd post it anyway.  I'm happy with Leela.

And about the flying carpet... I was worried I had run out of ideas at this point... But I got better strokes of inspiration soon after I drew this one.

[Reply #28 on:]

Cute.  I like how Fry turned out, looks cute there. ^^

[Reply #29 on:]

Prodigiously...

Aww, crud, I can't come up with a long word that means 'excellent'! And you know what happens then...

(I have to resort to using Supercalifragistics!)

(Ok, now to be serious...)

Your drawings have a very smooth and soft pencil tone to them, and are suprisingly sentimental. Not 'in your face' at all. And I love things that are soft, sweet, subtle and especially sentimental. I almost literally go to pieces around the holiday season. More, more!

(Now back to abstract crazyness!)

[Reply #30 on:]

More pics! 



(Yay! Fry finally gets his beautiful naked soul on her couch! )

[Reply #31 on:]

kinda creepy. leelas foot in the naked one is stuffed

[Reply #32 on:]

Stuffed?     She's wearing socks too big for her...   I tend to give her those because it's easier to do her feet that way 

[Reply #33 on:]

YAYAYAY FRY AND LEELA 4EVA, MORE MORE MORE!!!

[Reply #34 on:]

MORE!!



I'd like to add a little explanation to the second one if I may. 

That's one of Fry/Leela's descendants a while into the future's future.  The "I LOVE YOU LEELA" in the stars is in fact the one Fry wrote for Leela in this pictures past. 

In the real world, we are actually seeing some of the stars in our present sky like they were 3000 years in the past. I figured that, although the scientist of the future increased the speed of light, it could still take awhile for the light of the stars to get to other planets in the universe and even earth. 

We were never really told how far away the time particles were from earth.  Suppose it would take about 500 or so years for the light from those stars to actually reach earth.  Then only later generations would be able to see it in the sky if the were in the right place at the right time in the universe.

So this little girl in the picture is named Leela after her great (great great great?) grandmother. 

(Btw, I wouldn't like the idea of Fry and Leela naming their children Fry jr. and Leela jr. so let's just say their names were passed onto their grandchildren instead.)

Any anyways, she's on a camping trip with her family and she's all alone outside the tent one night and she looks up and sees this formation of stars in the sky and is very happy.  Not necessarily thinking it's for her, but just thinking it's very cool to see your own name written in the stars instead of someone else's.

Oh and I made the stars bigger than they probably would be... but it’s too late to change it now  .

Phew, kind of a long explanation there...  And it might not even make sense... If we can’t travel faster then the speed of light and scientists increased the speed of light(also impossible), then the light would have reached earth before the PE crew got back... Well...for the purpose of my drawing, let’s just say the professor was out of it when he gave that explanation to Cubert. 

And here's a close up of what Leela's seeing in the What-If machine:



(I've finally figured out how to do close ups, yay!  I'm kind of slow when it come to computers...)

EDIT: By the way, I've posted all the shippy pictures i've done so far (except the coloured one, not finished) and so if you have any requests for a shippy drawing I'd be happy to try it out.  Keep in mind I can only really do Fry, Leela, Amy, or Kif, but I can try other characters if you really want.  (Oh and i've tried to draw a few pics of Fry/Leela kissing, but it's HARD )

[Reply #35 on:]

long explanation there :S lol :P

[Reply #36 on:]

Here are my first(and only) attempts at drawing Hermes and the professor... Not my favorite, but i thought i'd post some art that wasn't shippy for once. 

I did these awhile ago along with bender and zoidberg and I would be posting those up too if I hadn't screwed up with the scanning and sending of the pictures to my computer.  They'll be up in due time though, along with more shippy pics!



EDIT: Wow, that didn't take long at all.  First (and only) zoidberg and bender i've drawn!

[Reply #37 on:]

Good point about the light/distance thing. Fry's message to Leela theoretically could never be destroyed. It'll always be there - radiating out endlessly.

[Reply #38 on:]

Awesome pics.  The professor and Hermes ain't bad. I tihnk thier pretty good. I love your Bender and Zoidberg. But I think you're best characters are Fry & Leela. 

[Reply #39 on:]

Bender and Zoidberg are great, Hermes is a little off, but still looks pretty good
