Cheerz, Zmithy - the focus group has spoken, sentient foodstuffs unite!

Nae worries Tedward; pic's up on other sites now! = exactly what I was going for

Ralph - your whims are my laws. Pic + 6 are in your PM inbox.

By way of distraction, a practise pic that spawned a new series I might be able to post when it's done...

[Reply #321 on:]

Aw nutsh, I missed it too.

Nice simple poses are fun though.

Heh, pic was me resetting after a string of failed ones! Did the trick, and I got a few down after that If they turn out peel appropriate, I'll post em.

[Reply #323 on:]

If they turn out peel appropriate, I'll post em.

Heheh, That'll be a task :P

Many thanks.

Very nice.

[Reply #325 on:]

That's a nice drawing, Marcus! I know we're all looking forward to the others, too.

[Reply #326 on:]

Well it has been a while but inspired by some of the prolific artists who are currently posting I thought i would create a new pic and flex my tablet muscle again.

Doing the pic i relaised exacltly how rusty I was. Still it was a fun pic to do and hopefully someone might like it.


Link to more modest version of Amy
Edited for newer version

[Reply #327 on:]

nice!

[Reply #328 on:]

Take two towels into the shower? Er, yes, if you want to post it...!

Excellent proportions, good idea, canny use of steam - the floor/feet/steam bit illustrates this best, Amy emerging from BG into foreground, though I can see you've shown similar emerging-difference between hips and boobs...

Lining's gone a bit skwee-wiff, and you could have shown some (blurred-by-steam) details of the actual shower room. I like the look of Amy in a towel turban though, with the water still flowing down her...

Good to see you picking up the tablet again

[Reply #329 on:]

Thanks Soylant

@ Marcus

Ahh one doth hate backgrounds or rather creating them but perhaps you are right that I should have put more detail in and something I maydo beofre submiting an altenate version to another site (one where Amy only remembered to buy one towel).

Perhaps I should of  just covered up certain parts with excessive steam rather than a towel (I actually quite like how what is under the towel came out)

I will endevour to work on my lining, certainly something that has let me down over and over.

In fact two bird with one stone here is a sligtly more rique pic but do not fear there is modesty being retained.

[Reply #330 on:]

I'm tempted to say that now there's a little too much background steam, but it is an effective solution to the background issue and in all honesty all that steam does lend the picture a nice dreamlike look. Good job!

[Reply #331 on:]

The eyes, the eyes!

[Reply #332 on:]

Nice. I'm reminded of the Fry & Leela pic that I drew - and Wu coloured - a few years ago. Did you model Amy off something, or go freehand?

[Reply #333 on:]

Oooooh! Amy! Nice.

[Reply #334 on:]

Thanks alot all.

@ El

Ah yes I remember that pic, was much fun to colour it.

As for free hand, I wish. No I used some reference photo's from a nifty site call feamle anatomy for the artist, a handy site indeed

@ Freak

Well I like to add something a little different to my pics ( a little like a cartain artist who has things triangular when they a nprmally circular) in this case you may be right and the green amy be abit too intense.

Maybe I will continue this steamy series (oh god I hate puns) with more of the PE crew, so who first Zoideberg or Fry :P .....hmm steamed Zoidberg probably not teh best plan, not a fan of death art really.

Take two towels into the shower?

You've never lived with a woman, have you? Two is the absolute minimum number of towels they use for one shower. And if you're in a hotel, and so not responsible for laundry, they'll manage to use however many towels are available every shower.

Also, very nice work, marcus and wu_k

I had no idea I was so old - was thinking of that old advert for a combined shampoo/conditioner in one bottle, tagline 'Take two bottles into the shower? Now I just Wash, and Go!' I remember it because it was a _shampoo advert_ - so, like softcore porn for the under-12s...

@ Wu - steam works as well/better than a towel for covering... stuff... looks good

[Reply #337 on:]

I use two towels in my showers. Should I be worried?

But anyway, nice pic, Wu - nicely done I can definitely attest to the whole using anything to hide everything, if that makes any sense?
Regarding the eyes...I'm not sure, I guess I side with freako on this - though the eyes are hardly causing me to claw at my own. I do give the characters coloured eyes when I'm doing more elaborate shading though, so...

Sweet drawing of Leela too Marcus! I...er...have to say I'm left intrigued about what the other one was as well...
Pweety pwease?

[Reply #338 on:]

I finally did something, I did it to get the hang of Corel Painter.

[Reply #339 on:]

Thanks for the comments and advice all and as I said I would contiue the theme of the pic for a few other characters but no excessive steam this time (just excessive soap :P)

Firstly the luscious Leela (at least I hope she looks luscious) still I shall put this under spoilers so view at your own discresion

Show spoiler

And now for something a little different. I did warn that Fry may be part of the series

Show spoiler

And yes I know Fry using soap does not quite fit but had to cover his modesty some how.

And Nice Dragon RS

[Reply #340 on:]

Great jobs, RS and wu!

[Reply #341 on:]

Showering really brings out the joy in them, doesn't it?

[Reply #342 on:]

Well it could of made Fry alot happier but I definitly would not be able to post that sort of pic on this board :P

[Reply #343 on:]

Yeah, we already know that to Fry, pleasure is just an "arm-length's away", so your pic was a welcome diversion from that.

The Leela pic was smoking hot.

I appreciate your sharing your talent with us, the other, untalented individuals.

[Reply #344 on:]

I like the dragon RS, nice colouring - looks nice!
Well, looks a bit evil actually...oh you know what I mean...

Sweet pics Wu

[Reply #345 on:]

Envious, RS - excellent shading bringing out light and shadow, especially on the scales under the head, and horns work very well! (rolls up a Red Dragon Disciple).

Well it could of made Fry alot happier but I definitly would not be able to post that sort of pic on this board :P

*is struck by inspiration* I will make it my mission, through this life or the next, to create such a pic. And not doing the lame towel rack/no-hands-dumbbell-lift variations either...

...Actually, I probably won't, but it's a thought...!

Lovely Leela, lucky water. But I pick the Fry pic as my favourite - lining looks very purposeful and confident, particularly the upper body. Hand and lower body not as great, but fine and solid, and water effect is really good! His head looks a little squashed, though, too much correction for the (admittedly tricky) angle - I'd probably wuss out and cheat it somehow But no - highly accomplished stuff

[Reply #346 on:]

Thanks for the complements.  I really have been trying to work on my lining as it was one of the things letting me down (so one down....only a couple of thousend more things to get right)

@ Marcus

Well I seem to remember two PEELers getting banned for such pics (although they were try to get banned and they were not drawn), still if you could do such a pic and still make it PEEL friendly ...why that would be quite the achivement.

[Reply #347 on:]

great jobs marcus, rs, and wu

[Reply #348 on:]

I haven't tried to take up the Fry filth challange yet

But I have something. My favourite review of all time is:

My opinion? You're a great artist. The drawing, shading, and lines are perfect, but I hate the picture.

Utterly.

The Leela/Amy soft porn thing is a crap idea that's been done too much already

This spot-on critique (well... mibbe not the first bit) came to mind when I was lining the following:

Show spoiler

It's just a work in progress, but opinions and fixes'd be valued, especially about:
1) Leela's hand - should it be smaller?
2) Amy's right leg - is the thigh too thick? Is the lower leg too bent? Is her foot at a weird angle - and if so, could changing the angle of the toes (so they point down more) be a simple fix?
3) Leela's left foot - too thick?
4) Anything else?

[Reply #349 on:]

I don't know about you, But I don't see a single thing wrong with that picture.

No-sir-ree-bob

[Reply #350 on:]

Agreed.

[Reply #351 on:]

I only see something very very right.

[Reply #352 on:]

Sorry, but I have points. Bet you figured I would, huh?

1) Amy's right foot is smaller than her left.
2) Perhaps if you pointed Leela's toes down it would look better.
3) Note the lines under Leela's knees.
4) Leela's left thigh might be a little thick.

Minor points of course, but you did ask.

[Reply #353 on:]

What are you, gay?

[Reply #354 on:]

I haven't tried to take up the Fry filth challange yet

While Juliette may love you for giving the females equal time with a filthy-Fry pic, I don't think that it would resonate with the rest of the (horndog) membership as a Leela-filth or Amy-filth challenge.

Let this person bite my ass from cheek to shining cheek.  I absolutely   love that pic.

Leave it as it is.  That's my vote.

Oh, I'm sorry...

*fap fap fap*

Better? 

[Reply #356 on:]

Much, better.

[Reply #357 on:]

Wow, that's a buttload of positive reinforcement, cheers guys Very kind of you to say, thanks for posting - I'll have to post the final version, now 

Big whoop to El, I owe you! I hadn't even spotted the Amy foot size thing. I'll probably redo Leela's foot, so I can tackle the toes/thigh lines at the same time.

Anyone else with ideas, more'n welcome to share, taking my time on this one.

Ye-eah... you'd think that, but it depends how you do it...  I got a notion that might tick _all_ the boxes. It'd mean all the characters kept almost all their clothes on, but I'm prepared to make that kind of sacrifice.

[Reply #358 on:]

Marcus, besides the foot size, I'd say that the curvature of Leela's right thigh looks a bit odd, but maybe that's just me. Otherwise, that's some great work.

[Reply #359 on:]

Finally... stupid lousy imageshack...

Pic is done - many thanks to everyone who offered fixits and encouraging words
