A pic like that, every loving pencil- or mouse-stroke'd be entitled to visions and revisions, right enough! Here's hoping a version emerges, though.

Answer: On peel? Not very... actual 'innings' totally obscured, and if the Batter's Up, pic'll probably be taken down (it's amazing how far you can stretch a metaphor, isn't it?).

On a bunch of other sites, however, anything goes. Anywhere. Chuck us a PM for addresses if you'd like

edit: 'let's give the characters balance problems' is a great game 

lol I love it when a man talks sports, it just does something to me!

Anyway...

haha If you want it, when I get one down I like, I'll post it at my furaffinity account when it comes back up. But you will need an account to view 18+ it.

Sounds scary fun! Gies a PM or similar if the inspiration kicks in and you get one down

Shameless double post

One wrasslin' pic done. Turns out I still can't do sweat (and there's a number of lazy shortcuts - hands and boobs in particular), but otherwise I'm pretty chuffed with it

As ever, thoughts and reactions very welcome.

I can't figure out what's going on with Amy's falling-out-boob. She has an extra nipple-dimple or something.

Nice colouring. 

[Reply #444 on:]

Quick, put it in spoiler tags before the prudish moderators have a stroke!

Very nice work. I'm gonna have a quick stroke of my own.

[Reply #445 on:]

Nice job, Marcus!

Since you have some nice shading anyway, perhaps you could add a shadow under Amy (or at least to one side) to show that she is on (or not quite yet on, as you may choose) the floor. Just a thought!

[Reply #446 on:]

Ha, thanks guys, much appreciated!

D'you think it's really spoilerable? Surely you funnin' me; it's only slightly nipply, and Amy's grinning 'cos she's ticklish. That's my first thought. My second is that my piccing pallete may have become so coarse I can't tell anymore.

Floor-shadow is a good idea; as is probably obvious, I made the b/g completely seperate from the characters, and just pasted them in later. A better link between the two pieces would probably help a lot...

Ooo, which bit is the problem? The ruffed-up cloth of Amy's leotard (which was done lazily, I happily admit, and is kind of open to interpretation), or the fact that Amy has a two-tone nipple (which is just shading, showing light direction)?

[Reply #447 on:]

I have a nice method for sweat, and dripping water. Works with PShop, though. You use that?

[Reply #448 on:]

Love to hear it - and yep, I'm still on Photoshop 7! If you're using your '5' edition for water effects, I can probably do something similar

[Reply #449 on:]

The ruffed-up cloth of Amy's leotard

Ohh, that must be what's going on there. Is it.. torn or something? I think it must just be the fact that everything else is all skin-tight and smooth lines and such, so whatever it is that you've got there looks like a misplaced bump or something.

Ah, confusion solved! And that was, of course, the exact point, albeit ropily executed. The wardrobe malfunction needed to be visually 'explained', ergo ruffed up cloth; that's the 'in-pic' reason for boob slippage (the actual reason is that without at least _something_ showing, the pic isn't filthy enough to get reposted on some websites - I needed to give it a fighting chance!).

I was gonna do shading, and speech balloons, and a light gaussian blur, and stuff to this pic, but Bender rebelled! He was meant to look bored, not horny (been drawing filth for seven years. Seven. I still can't draw Bender). So I stopped trying to fix him or finish it, and dropped it off here like an ugly baby. It's your problem now.

A follow up to the Leela/Amy wrestling pic:

URF Owner: Hey, guys, you're on in... what... what are you rubbing on him?

Fry: Butter.

Bender: Yeah, we ran out of cooking oil.

Fry: Check this out (flexes bicep). Pure. Dairy. Goodness.

[Reply #457 on:]

Heh heh...well, I don't think it's unfixable by any means, or an ugly baby of a picture at all! Did you try changing Bender's "mouth" expression to more of a frown? That might help, at least a bit...also, although this might result in him not simply looking bored, you could change his eye expression to make him slightly more annoyed, and have his pupils be looking up, as if to either roll his eyes or be looking at the man as if to say, "See what this jerk is making me do?". There's definitely potential.

I don't think I have anything proper to say about Marcus' latest picture.. so.. here's this.

Aww, I think you did a good job! And I agree with Tedward's suggestions. Best if you get aggrivated with a pic, to just walk a way for a few days then comes back.

That's a very very realistic and very gorgeous piece of art.  I rather enjoyed it.

Marcus', Joel, EL, FF 1 and all old other artist, there's a new artists in town.

Note:  this entire post has been done this speech recognition software.   I'm still working the bugs out, but it sure makes typing posts easier.

Now if only they could make something like that for drawing things.

Aww, thanks. Though to be fair, the only reason she doesn't look like extra stupid-sauce is because Joel made me fix it..

PENCIL, 45 DEGREES LEFT.

Thanks for all the.. complimentary exclamations?

[Reply #467 on:]

PENCIL, 45 DEGREES LEFT.

Another left-handed artist. Apparently they said that left-handed people are more creative. I find that hard to believe at first but my last 2 studios I've worked in, half of the staff are left-handed.

Coincidence? Maybe. Amazing? Sure, why not.

I've been an enthusiast of her work for quite a while on DA. I know Kim better as 'capsize-beautiful' though. She's quite a lovely lass.

Do check out her gallery: http://capsize-beautiful.deviantart.com/

Also, here's a picture I did of her:

@ Marcus

nice pic, a little disturbing but definitly on model (and could of been far more distubing although more plausable if it was Zapp and Kiff :P) Nice job.

@ Sick pickles

Really nice pic. For some reason the way Leela looks reminds me of Summer Glau, not that this is a bad thing. I really like how you have done the hair. great work.

@ coldangel

Excellent work as always.

[Reply #470 on:]

Hey, I'm popping up everywhere today..

Yeah? Hmmm.. I don't see it. Possibly because I have difficulties picturing Summer Glau as a cyclops. But I'll take it as a compliment.

I'm left handed as well, although I haven't done any drawing for a while now. I should have something within the next couple weeks, just a little bit of modeling to do then it's onto shaders.

[Reply #472 on:]

I feel incredibly old. I was drawing today and realised 2 of my pencils are now too short to hold properly; they're 2 that I've been using since I started drawing, and they've just been whittled away to nearly nothing over the years.

Also, I was clearing out a sketchbook (...an NFL magazine from 2001 crammed with loose printer paper) of old 'dud' pics, and found a whole bunch I don't even remember drawing.

Most damningly, middle of next year, I'll be _30_. That's practically _dead_, and I've achieved nothing except burn up resources.

So, while I'm still compis mentis enough to operate an innerneht machine, a few old pics I found that weren't good enough to finish, but which were a pleasant surprise to see!

First one's my favourite; Leela looks cute in her blernsball uniform And, lookit, one of them's a futurama character drawn in a non-futurama style, and they look depressed! That proves I'm a very deep and meaningful artist, sensitive to the human condition. And the last one is Leela with her tits out. That proves I'm not.

Man, it takes me about a week to do that.

Those are excellent. Semi-realistic Leela is a bit odd though because despite being semi-realistic, she still has a giant pupil and no iris.
Tits-out Leela is welcome any time.

Yeah? Whoa, your productivity shames me! Or maybe you like to actually use properly sharp pencils; I been using mine blunt to extend their lifespan (Scottish = tightfisted)

Heh, cheers! I think they're about... 4, 5 years old, except the blernsball one, but I kind of like them still. If tits were in (closer together), I might have finished that one. I think I gave it to someone else who wanted to try arting, I forget. And yeah, the semi-real one was a strange hybrid, not repeated.

I am rather OCD about sharpness, when I am going through a spell of drawing. I also use 2B and press pretty hard, meaning I stop to sharpen every few minutes.

[Reply #478 on:]

Ah, I see. Do you line by hand then (and darken on pc if needed)? I know that can really require sharp, clear work at the paper stage. I cheat, and only need the pencil lines to hit the 'right' marks broadly (hence, blunt is fine) because my lining is lazily PC-ed.

[Reply #479 on:]

I pencil and go over with black ink by hand. Only thing I do on the computer is colour, because I suck at colouring by hand.

Back when I was first given the generous gift of Photoshop, I tried lining with the mouse, but just found it tedious. For me, I got a much more organic result from doing the inking by hand. It's the little flaws and inconsistencies in the felt-tip lines that stop it from appearing too artificial, I guess. But then, I'm also just too impatient to perform the computer lining process properly, so I'm really just making excuses.

I do create lines on the PC, but they're not black, they're just the boundary separation for shadowed areas. And because I've adopted a cell-shading style, they can be jagged, thus not requiring too much time.
