Aslate's Attempts

[on:]

Well, these are some of my attempts at scan-art. I did them to encourage more scan-art and/or fanart subbmissions at Fry Online. What do you think?

[Reply #1 on:]

they're good. perhaps you should go for avatar designs?  (thats what i used my scanarting for)

[Reply #2 on:]

Yea, but when i tried to make them avatar size, they went too blocky.

[Reply #3 on:]

its all technique 

[Reply #4 on:]

Did another one in this time!

[Reply #5 on:]

aaaawwwwww i wuv that scene so much 

[Reply #6 on:]

Fry's mouth in the top pic looks a bit wonky in the corner, and maybe his pupils look a bit too small or faint in the third one, but apart from that I think they are really excellent.   

[Reply #7 on:]

I agree. Really not bad scans at all. Keep it up. 

Who know, I might give this scanarting a try some day.

[Reply #8 on:]

I like them! That are really cool - keep up the good work!

[Reply #9 on:]

Great work Aslate!

[Reply #10 on:]

How exactly is scan art done

[Reply #11 on:]

I'm not sure, I presume that the artist has a episode on a downloaded format or something and takes screen captures of various shots. Because the quality of the avi is usually low, you then have fun touching it up/make it look nicer. I dunno know, I'm guessing.

Pretty much spot on. I'm no expert, I've only recently started to fiddle around with it.

@Bartman:

Take a screengrab (MPEG's preferred, for the better resolution, but anything will do), stick it in a piece of graphic software (I use Flash 5, others tend to go with PSP 7, Adobe Illustrator eyc), trace the outlines and fill in colours.

Other PEEL threads include: Perfered scan program
Making scans from framegrabs.

And many many others.

If you understand German there's a wonderful tutorial on the Flash 5 way at Futurama Ceneter.de

CGEF has a tutorial too, somewhere.

The technique is to make the line width just right. If you're using a big picture, the width should be about 4 pixels.

[Reply #16 on:]

Re-started some of my scanning.

It's not been transparified yet.

[EDIT]Changed so the picture works[/EDIT]

[Reply #17 on:]

[EDIT]Also changed due to picture not working[/EDIT]

[Reply #18 on:]

More great work Aslate!

[Reply #19 on:]

Those are all really great scans, aslate. I especially like the new one with Fry holding Benders head

[Reply #20 on:]

That would make a great avatar....

[Reply #21 on:]

Ok then, lets do that.

[Reply #22 on:]

Another work by me. It's a bit hard to scan that picture, it was very dark and hard to see the outline for.

[Reply #23 on:]

Well, Leela's feet and mouth have gone slightly wrong, but otherwise that's a pretty cool pic. 

[Reply #24 on:]

Yea, Leela's boots being black and her mouth being blurred into her face kinda meant it went a bit wrong.

[Reply #25 on:]

It also seem a bit small to me, or rather that the lines are too thick... 

[Reply #26 on:]

That's another cool scan, and under the circumstances, althought not perfect, I think it came out really well

[Reply #27 on:]

It's Seymore!

[Reply #28 on:]

^Awww^ That is so sweet 

[Reply #29 on:]

My design project is a portable TV and Radio, guess who i did it on...

[Reply #30 on:]

awww It's a Bender! Also your drawing of Seymour is so cute   

[Reply #31 on:]

The rendering came out ok, i just can't get a very good screenshot of it.

[Reply #32 on:]

Aslate, excellent excellent work!
Well done!

[Reply #33 on:]

Wow, it's been a while now hasn't it?



^Some older ones that i don't think ever got posted.


^One i did today. Didn't come out quite as well as i hoped.

  that episode make me cry 

[Reply #35 on:]

great scans, aslate 

[Reply #36 on:]

It has been a while, but it's quality, not quantity. And those new scans are rulian 

[Reply #37 on:]

Fry in Space, took ages to do, my first scan using besier lines (Or whatever they are), and the first with some form of shading.

[Reply #38 on:]

Curves! 

Nice shading, both on the rocket pack and the flame jet...

[Reply #39 on:]

That flame took me so much time to get right, but i still can't get it to look how i wanted.
