My Futurama Cartoon(s)

[Reply #360 on:]

Haha that'd be really interesting to see.

TOTPD!

[Reply #361 on:]

Repost of the new cartoon, just in case someone thinks Danny's comment refers to an old image and misses the new one...

[Reply #362 on:]

That is just awesome.

[Reply #363 on:]

That's hilarious, how embarrassing for Fry

[Reply #364 on:]

Thanks for the positive feedback:)
Well...the next cartoon (spoofing Star Wars) is too long to be completed this evening.

So, just some 30 Minutes sillyness (with maybe a slight touch of fanservice ) about Fry's unwillingness to share certain things

[Reply #365 on:]

Sweet picture but what's up with Fry's mouth. To me it looks weird but the picture is amazing. Well done keep up the good work.

[Reply #366 on:]

I think Fry's mouth is blending into something in the background (can't tell what). It sort of looks like he has two jaws.

Awesome work, still.

[Reply #367 on:]

About Fry's mouth:

When I want a drooling look, I go for an overbite, as e.g. seen in the second picture here:
http://www.peelified.com/index.php?topic=21502.msg1247490#msg1247490
In the recent cartoon, it just seemed suitable to make that drooling much more exagerated and over the top than in the linked one....

[Reply #368 on:]

The sight must have addled Fry's mind. I would have thought the model and the canvas would be reversed. Then again, she'd thump him when she saw it.

Nice, but I'm having trouble getting Fry's mouth too.

[Reply #369 on:]

Okay...I really did not unterstand what you didn't get about Fry's mouth, I hope I found out by now. So, just out of curiosity:

The upper pictures are "correct", and the lower one represents my assumption how you might have gotten the picture:



The fat lines in the above picture show the outline of Fry's face (upper jaw, upper lip, lower lip, chin). The last image to the right shows the shadow between chin and the rest of the face, and does therefore does not really outline the face, but lies "somewhere in it", so to speak.

Did you interpret the fat line in the lower picture as the supposed "face outline", with the chin shadow wrongly being interpreted as the chin's outline, and wondering what the real chin outline itself was supposed to be?

[Reply #370 on:]

Speaking for myself, I did get the chin line as you drew it - but it looks like Fry has grown a lower beak as well. Your last pic there looks more like Fry, if you consider the famed 'Groening overbite' look they all have, and his neck looks twice as thick as usual.

[Reply #371 on:]

Shouldn't Fry have like, the devils hands if he could paint that well.

[Reply #372 on:]

Leela is pretty good.

Show spoiler

[Reply #373 on:]

That is exactly how I saw it, Hein. Fry's face has sometimes confused me since you draw it so differently from how it actually is.

[Reply #374 on:]

A little preview pic from the next cartoon, featuring three more or less famous guest stars;)

You are certainly right about that. But I wanted to keep to my style, and the massive chin is as much a trademark for my characters as the overbite is for Groening's...so...sorry, if I abandoned that chin, it would no longer be my style

[Reply #375 on:]

Well..made the following cartoon as a humorous remark for the "do you like fry better buff or no?" thread, but -for completion's sake- I will have to put it into my art thread:

[Reply #376 on:]

How long do these usually take you to do?

[Reply #377 on:]

This here has taken about 1h.
It would have been possible to draw it faster, but I did not have much routine on this one (I normally draw neither Fry nor Leela as bodybuilders).

Also, a selfmade problem slowed me down:
As I occasionally had to draw big, strong guys for certain cartoons, Fry was at least not too much of a problem. Leela was more difficult, as I had never needed a female bodybuilder ever in any comic before. You see that her muscles -though obviously being bigger than Fry's for the punchline- are in fact less defined than Fry's. Though being more muscular, I still wanted to go for a specific female (means: Smoother) appearance bodywise, instead of going for a "male body with breasts" look. And so -while I could draw Fry and Bender off the wrist- Leela did in fact require some design sketches, till I had an imhO acceptable "Big, but soft looking muscles" look.

It might sound sexist, but -be it IRL or in a comic- a Lady's appearance always seems to take a certain amount of time...

[Reply #378 on:]

Okay...posted some designs for a future comic, and wanted to wait a bit, but...damned, I'm really in the mood to start that thing this weekend, so here is the last design preview.

A design study of the two main villains:



Names are "Loki" and "Attilah", and these names are no coincidence. (But why they have names that exist in human history/mythology will be revelaed in the comic;) )
Characterwise, "Loki" will be the "Dirtbag" type, while "Attilah" will be more the direction of "Evil Overlord".

But the whole comic will not be black/white (okay...colour wise, it will be...I do mean the character's aligment;)), so no one will be completely evil or good. I am going a bit "Abercrombie" on that matter, so to speak
The whole mood will be a bit darker and more sinister than Futurama. Well...you will see...the beginning will be rather classical

Oh yeah: An the comic's name:

"30"

[Reply #379 on:]

I'd be interested to see your work in colour, Hein.

Especially one of those big Space Pirate ships. Preferably high-res so that I can have it as a wallpaper.

"30" will feature some more Pirate ships. (probably also more detailed). I could make a black/white copy of one scene before shading it, maybe that one will be suitable for coloring.

[Reply #381 on:]

Another WIP (damned...I should draw a bit more finished stuff...and I will not label "30" as complete until the last page is drawn, so these three pages also do not count )

Not really a great pic, but a premiere for me (so to speak).
For the next cartoon (I decided to delay the Star Wars one a bit), I had to draw Fry in Groening style Come to think of it, I think it's the first time I ever drew Fry that way...

[Reply #382 on:]

So, took a little break from "30", and did a normal cartoon again.
(Well.."normal" is rather relative...this here is the first time I drew Fry Groening style...)

[Reply #383 on:]

Now that is just awesome!  

Have you ever considered colouring your drawings? Or is that just not your style?

Either way they're very good.

[Reply #384 on:]

 

I'm not sure I care for that last panel. Something about it fills me with unease. I can't really explain why...

[Reply #385 on:]

Oh, dude!  I laughed out loud and I have a cake-eating grin from ear to ear  Wow, that's a great one!

[Reply #386 on:]

Awesome. Just awesome.
Should the person operating the computer be Randi?

Your Groening style looks really good, maybe you should draw a few more cartoons that way in future because it's very enjoyable

[Reply #387 on:]

Yes I sense it too...

That is quite awesome though. Yes it is me, he asked me permission on it before he did it Mind if I crop the drawing of me for facebook?

So, is this supposed to be like a Post-Apocalyptic world where we have a TNUK type dictator? That's the only reasonable explanation I can give for that poster being on the wall heh.

[Reply #388 on:]

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone:)
As for your questions:

Have you ever considered colouring your drawings? Or is that just not your style?

I did consider it, but it's rather a question of time (which I do not have too much of, I'm afraid).

When I started my Futurama cartoons last year, I did consider wether I should go for Groening style or my own. If I wanted to do Groening styled stuff, it would require some more practise. E.g. I never did the "How To Draw ThisandThat character" tutorials, featuring geometrical shapes how to "construct" their faces/bodies/etc...which I would have to do sooner or later.
I' m afraid it's the same old "question of time" again...

That is quite awesome though. Yes it is me, he asked me permission on it before he did it Mind if I crop the drawing of me for facebook?

Of course not, feel free to use it for your facebook account;)

So, is this supposed to be like a Post-Apocalyptic world where we have a TNUK type dictator? That's the only reasonable explanation I can give for that poster being on the wall heh.

The explanation is rather simple: When TNUK's Wikipeelia entry describes him as one of Peels most feared mods (not hindered by the fact he is not one), the text somehow implies tensions with the real mods. So, that's why the Dart arrows sticking in the poster.
It was also a lucky coincidence: I needed a peeler with a certain amount of merchandise for the cartoon to work. And -as I heared- you seem to have one or two pieces As you are a Peel mod, that coincidence really SCREAMED for that poster gag

[Reply #389 on:]

That last panel will give me nightmares for weeks!

[Reply #390 on:]

...I hope that's not me you are referring to

[Reply #391 on:]

Nah, he's referring to the mousepad. So gross. 

[Reply #392 on:]

Frankly, I'm disappointed in Randi's aim. She can't nail tnuk in the face with a dart given several tries? That's like THE main requirement for becoming a  mod!

[Reply #393 on:]

Howdy:)
A little Peel insider I drew while watching 1,5 Simpsons episodes:

[Reply #394 on:]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHA.....that is HILARIOUS!

[Reply #395 on:]

Hein.







I love you.

[Reply #396 on:]

Howdy, everyone
So, a little WIP from an upcoming picture:



Yep, I needed a boss-monster for a scene, and borrowed a "Catachan Devil" from the Warhammer 40K universe. (But as this bugger himself was basically ripped of the Giger style, I thought: So what? )

[Reply #397 on:]

That is awesome, GOD THAT IS AWESOME. And really scary too.

[Reply #398 on:]

Thanks:)
Right now, he finally made his apprearance in "30"
To be honest, I always had planned to build one of those guys as a model in Warhammer 40K scale (length would still be more than half a meter), I just did not have the time yet.

Btw...had I coloured the "Catachan Devil" (or rather "Amazonian Devil", in the given context), this would have been the colour scheme):

[Reply #399 on:]

Never give up on drawing, you are amazing.
