The rest of the story would progress from that.

Instead of the girls being clones of Roxanne genetically modified to look like the boys, wouldn't it be simpler to have the girls be clones of the boys genetically modified to be female?

Either way, I like the clone idea better than option B.

Um, why?  He's one of the few Futurama characters whose eye color we actually know..

Well, I figured if you're gonna clone someone, it'd be easier in the process to change their eye or hair color than their sex.. But I dunno from genetics..

I just thought it looked cool, and was expressing that sentiment through hyperbole.

Well, I'm no genetic engineer, but it seems to me that it would be relatively simple to make a female clone of a male.  You just remove the Y chromosome, and replace it with another X chromosome (and you've already got one of those).  There you go.

On the other hand, if you start with clones of Roxanne and geneticly modify them to resemble Mom's sons, you'd have to alter several different sets of genes to get the desired eye and hair color and whatever other features you want.

Can't wait for my current request, and EL might do a swimsuit thing with two BF Girls, try to guess which ones and you get a prize from me.

The idea may be used for a fanfic, if you'd like to take it on.

Mom has three sons.. All of them middleaged, dependant and somewhat slow.
She tires of their frustrating antics and decides to clone herself, to create a companion that
might make the final years of her life halfway bearable. A friend, a daughter, someone who will
grow to become her intellectual and moral equal.. Above all, to serve as a worthy heir to her corporation. A child raised by the guttural and embittered Mom will inevitably grow to be her double, and this fails to give her any consolation.. For Roxanne, as she is called, is a naughty and ill tempered child. When she learns to speak, most of what she says is very crude. The final straw is that she has no patience for her own mother, and when Mom is called a skank by what is essentially a miniature version of herself, this touches a nerve. She orders her sons to get rid of Roxanne by any means possible, but they.. and especially Ignar.. are fond of the young girl. Roxanne barely knows the three, and because they treat her with kindness and love[whatever sort of creepy love you'd like to imagine, maybe], she grows to love them in return. To her, they are brothers, and the nicest people in the world. When Mom finds out some years later that Roxanne is still around[still alive or still in the same city, whichever you think would be more characteristic.. I myself don't think Mom could order Roxanne to be executed, no matter how strong the hate..], she is infuriated and dismisses her sons as well. They have nowhere to go but with Roxanne; and, their fortune gone and their lives forever changed, must wander the galaxy in search of a home. The boys cope to life without their mother. This is difficult and slow, but it is eventually so. After all, they see comfort in Roxanne, who is just like their Mommy without all the abuse.
Here is where the plot takes a turn.
Which do you think would make for a better story..?
A. Roxanne has a happy if unstable life with the boys until they either die or are separated from her[each going to live on their own, or they become lost, or kidnapped.. whatever]. She is now quite old.. Younger than her mother was when Roxy was banished, but still old, and[she never found out that she was a clone, for whatever reason, so she wouldn't know the danger in....] she clones herself three times, three daughters each genetically modified to comemmorate her three 'brothers'. The rest of the story would progress from that.
B. There are three men with quasiOedipus-complexes on a ship with a girl who loves them and looks just like their Mommy. You do the math.
Anyway, in this version, Roxy would have three daughters who would look familiar..

Cool idea EL but when I created the character she was actually the opposite of how she has been described in this fanfic.

She doesn't love Mom really and Mom doesn't really love her but they get along quite well. Roxanne is like Mom's little "Pet", she is Mom's favourite out of the four kids. Roxanne has the same abition, determination, selfishness, slyness and ill-temper Mom has. And for the boys, well, she loathes them actually in my first idea for a fanfic for her, she tried to kill them a couple of times. In my oringinal fanfic she was created to fool Cubert into telling her things about the planet express so Mom could make plans on how to destroy the company and the employees broke. (She wanted to do this for obvious reasons.) She promises that when the company is hers, she will give it to Roxanne so she can take charge.
However when Mom finds out that Cubert is the Professor heir she is angered that Professor Farnsworth didn't choose their son Ignar as his heir. This gives her more reasons to take over Planet Express. But Roxanne feels disceived after she finds out that Ignar will know take over planet express instead of her. Thus she kidnappeds both Ignar and Cubert and holds them hostage and demands that she is made head of both Planet Express and Mom Co.

But you still have my permission to write the fanfic. Just make sure you give me credit for Roxanne and note that it isn't her official fanfic. Thanx
Good Luck EL (or whoever writes it.) Can't wait to see it.

This is all great art and fiction EL. I especially like the RTEW card though.

[Reply #47 on:]

Ahh, Kikix! I didn't know that! I'm surprised. Well, that's very interesting.. Maybe I'll write a fic like that.. Anyway, thank you.
Okay.. I suck at updating now.. For some reason I've been feeling very unmotivated. I blame it on Spiderman 2. But I'll leave the explaination till after this.. Roxanne wouldn't have an identical wardrobe to Mom's, right? Therefore..

Anyway, I feel really bad about the lack of art. Specially since I promised stuff to Nurdy[as usual] and Newhook[long overdue], both of whom I am quite fond of.
I blame it on... This man!
Otto Octavius! Rarely have I been so obsessed with a character that I would doodle them almost nonstop for three days. This is the case with Otto, though. There's nothing about this guy I don't love. So if you're frustrated with me, blame it on Alfred Molina and his bewitching eyebrows.

[Reply #48 on:]

I feel the same as you with regard to dis-motivation, Lunch.  I choose to blame my reborn inner-gamer.  I bought a gamecube for the SOLE PURPOSE of playing windwaker.  I feel like a windwanker.

If you're ever drought out for inspiration you could always check the last thread for requests.[/HintHint]

Also, your works got so much damn expression to them.  when your done with the cards you should seriosly considder doing some peelified comic work for your thread.

[Reply #49 on:]

Yeah, I'd like to see an proper PEEL Comic on Keenspace. It'd be good.

*Runs in from avatar shop

HUF-HUF-HUF-Your-HUF-dog-HUF-HUF-is named P-chan?

I did have to see it to believe it.  I suppose the P is for Puppy and I also suppose he does NOT turn into a wandering teenager when doused with warm water.

Art Idea: P-chan Vs. P-chan!

[Reply #51 on:]

Very much digging the Leela's Homeworld pic...but I'm upset at the lack of TMLH ones....Heather, but no Teen Leela? 

[Reply #52 on:]

A note: "So Serious" by ELO seems to capture the relationships between Roxy and the boys [as I've written it].. I just thought it was interestin'.

[Reply #53 on:]

I think I made EL and Alan Partridge fan.

[Reply #54 on:]

Eh, he's funny and all, but.. I can't say I'm a real fan. I haven't even seen an episode yet.

[Reply #55 on:]

Watch episode 4 of series one and you'll change your mind.

[Reply #56 on:]

I feel bad about not posting :x KGKUAN, Arthas, all of that..
Coming soon. No, really.
Don't hit me.
Until then, stuff I haven't posted.


EDIT: Fixed.

[Reply #57 on:]

EDIT: Hee Hee, and people say I don't notice things.

[Reply #58 on:]

Uhm.. Yes, Nurdy, thank you for your observation. o.o; That wasn't so noticeable when I drew it[keep in mind that all my pictures are very tiny before they're scanned], but, really.. I'd greatly appreciate it if this topic weren't as blocked up as my last one.

[Reply #59 on:]

Bravo! Leela's so cute!   
May I also say that I have tried to draw decapodians and they always come out horrible, but your Edna is just so wonderful. Looks like it's just about the time when she was getting ready to tackle Fry. 

Elzar: What are you, an ass kissing machine?
Bender: Yes sir, good one sir!

Maltese cross? Sure, why not!

Cute.

Actually, no.  That's more of a formée cross.  The Maltese cross looks more like this.

Erm.. That's nurdy's pen pal. Nurdy, while it's nice to see Miss Akkiko, I think it's a bit... inappropriate to post her picture here without her permission..?

[Reply #65 on:]

Bugger, I forgot all about that. Editing time again.

Ah. Well, good thing I put that question mark there, indicating lack of confidence. Oh, SlackJaw, you'll outlive us all yet!

(Though the rest of my 'comment' remains valid.  )

[Reply #67 on:]

Oh my God, look out! It's.. It's.. An EPISODE CARD!

Geez, finally. Uhm, by the way. Those little babies are the background. Amy isn't stepping on one, although now it looks to me like she is. I debated about putting Zapp in there.. but "You disgust me! Go on.." summed up the epiode so wonderfully.

My obsession has not in any way lessened. Anyway, I watched the first movie again the other day, and that messy kiss reminded me of something..

Kikix's Roxanne, aka 'The accurate one'

And how she was in my fanfic idea, aka 'I like seeing Ignar in a tank top'

[Reply #68 on:]

Pineapple? PINEAPPLE? I hope there's no higher reference for that, as I just love that as a random thing. 

Lovely pics, as usual, but I have to ask... who's Roxanne?

I think that is supposed to show us that that is Fry as Spiderman. Or maybe Spiderman just loves pineapples

Have you seen "The Why of Fry" yet?

Roxanne is a character that KiKiX created.  She's a clone of Mom.

[Reply #71 on:]

Oh. THAT pineapple.  Ah, well, it's still cool. 

[Reply #72 on:]

Yeah, THAT pineapple. Heheh ^^
I wasn't sure where else to put this..

[Reply #74 on:]

Amy is stepping on her young, no doubt about it.

Other than that, excellent stuff, especially the Spiderman/pineapple one.

[Reply #75 on:]

  Pineapple, you've made me laugh again.

[Reply #76 on:]

Why do anime people insist on standing in such awkward poses? With arms stuck out knees bent in odd ways?

I didn't notice it until you mentioned it!

Fantastic work though, and have you already done but I missed/going to do Amy on her own at all?

[Reply #78 on:]

the spiderman pineapple thing is hilarious it shows how fry thinks even when hes busy

[Reply #79 on:]

It's interesting that you gave Leela green eye, and Fry blue. I think I did it the other way around.

Spread the Pinapple-love!
