What a great thread. There is some nice use of backgrounds in all of your pictures! Well Done.. and keep up the good art work    

TOTP! 

[#121 :]

This is a bit off topic but not too much.     I just went to see Pirates of Penzance a few days ago (great play by the way in case you haven't seen it)  And of course during intermission, my mind started wandering and thinking about Futurama.

I was thinking of Cap'n Skusting's Futurama Pirates and thought wouldn't it be cool to have the Futurama characters done up specifically like the characters in Pirates of Penzance? I even thought of who should play who:  Bender as the Pirate King, Fry as Fredrick, Leela as Mabel, the Professor as the Major General, Smitty or Randy for the head police (can't remember what his name is) and either Hattie or Mom for Ruth. 

The only thing would be, how to have them identified as the characters from the play.  Maybe do them up as pirates (like what's been done) and them put one of the verses from the play underneath their picture or something. Or even do up a mock up movie poster saying which Futurama characters will be starring in the play.  I'm just kinda rambling ideas off in case anyone wants to go thru with them.

That is a cool idea.
I'll keep it in mind for a possible "round two".
In the meantime, you ought to check out Kif White's
most excellent artwork of the gang as characters from Final Fantasy here.
That's kinda along the same lines.

Meanwhile, whatch this thread - Amy's coming soon....

[#123 :]

Mmmm, expectations...

[#124 :]

Hey there, Javier from TFP just named you his favorite original fan artist, so I came here to see why that was... and this is some GOOD stuff you've got here! Mind if I post it at Futurama Madhouse / TLZ? I'll upload your pictures to our server, of course, and if you have a webpage or comments, it'll appear at the top of your gallery...

[#125 :]

Thanks Leandro!
I have no real home of my own on the web (that is publicly accessable, anyways)
But you are welcome to post the stuff at your site.
Maybe you can link to this thread as my "home".
Just credit me as Cap'n Skusting of PEEL

[#126 :]

Awsome art, really! I heben`t seen anything as mutch original for years! I like "planet express pirate ship" most of all!

I`d like to show your art to russian speaking people by putting it on www.aboutleela.ru  . do you mind?

[#127 :]

I just had to pop in to say your work is excellente! Pirate Leela looks especially cool, dig the outfit. Looking forward to more 

[#128 :]

very funny, especially the professor..

[#129 :]

Just for the record:
I don't mind if my work gets shown on other websites.
Just as long as you credit me as I've indicated, and you
give me a heads up here first.
And it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to provide a link here to your gallery once you put them in.
Also, don't link directly to my pix - upload them to your own server.

And I haven't forgotten about Amy. Her pic is in the works and will be the next one posted.
I'm tempted to give a sneak preview, but I like suprises.

[#130 :]

Holy crapola!
Why haven't I been in here before, those pics blew my mind straight out my left armpit! 

I'd love to see Fry á la Cap'n Jack Sparrow!
Awesome. All of them.

[#131 :]

Hmmm, you bring up a cool idea Faze. I could picture Fry with the long dreadlocks and beard.

[#132 :]

Cap'n, I will name my character in Pirates after you if you pull this off.

[#133 :]

That's close to the mark I was thinking of.
So maybe i'll head in that direction and do the Fryrate pic next up after Amy.

[#134 :]

Coming very soon now.... Amy...

Here's a teaser....

[#135 :]

Damn! The suspense!
Looks great so far Cap'n.

Nurdy is gonna freak   

[#136 :]

Whooo, a revealing figuire hugging dress?

Like the way it's going so far.

*Freaks*

[#137 :]

Wow, nice teaser! Perfect amount of leg  (as if there is such a thing..!)

I take it your fav Futurama girl is Amy?

[#138 :]

Now stop teasing us and show us the whole masterwork, oh great Cap'n! 

[#139 :]

Mmmmmm....

I like what i see so far.

[#140 :]

Soon as it's done, soon as it's done.
And the colors shown in the teaser
may or may not end up in the final piece.

There's just something about a...a...a Martian....
But, yeah, you're probably right, though i never really thought about it.

[#141 :]

[OC]Asian girls=teh hot.[/OC]

The man is right, in any form they are indeed hot.

[#142 :]

*Gasp* every man should have thought about it!

When did you first start drawing?

[#143 :]

after that very good picture of amy, is there any hope of seeing hyperchicken as a pirate parrot?

edited for the third time, i hope this time i wrote it correctly

Probably Second Grade Math class or there abouts.
I'll be 47 in a week and a half. You do the math.
I've been making a pretty decent living as a graphic artist since around 1978.
The Futurama Pyrate art basically started as a need for a suitable avvy, the next thing you know....

Wow, 2nd grade is early I guess.
And... one and a half week?    When exactly 19th or 20th? (I'm a 20th child    )

Anoter thing... do you still draw watercolored racing pics?

btw. You may claim to be oldest Peeler known.   

[#147 :]

I may have stated my age, but I claim nothing.
My birthday is on the 21st.
I share it with Phil Donahue, Jane Fonda, Barry Gordon, Samuel L. Jackson, Ray Romano, Joseph Stalin, Keifer Sutherland, Paul Winchell, and last but not least...Frank Zappa.
I haven't done a racing water color in a couple years, but I do have a few that would be the next ones in line, if I ever get off my lazy butt to do them. They're extremely time consuming and tedious, but the results are worth it.

[#148 :]

Shanghai Amy

[#149 :]

Man... What can I say but WOW!  Once again, great work Capt'n!

[#150 :]

One word: Yowza.  But have I said anything else when you draw females from the show (Mom and Hattie excluded, of course)?

@ that Leela pic: *sproiiinng!* 0_0 yowza! Such a comely lass ...

Yeah, I guess I did, sorta ...

But seriously, excellent work, as usual.  I can't wait until the next installment!

[#151 :]

Wooah, she can wench me anyday.

Thanks Cap'n now for my end of the deal, look forward to seeing yourself battle other Pirates and stuff in the future. I'll post some screenies.

[#152 :]

                 
Nice one cap'n, I really like it!

[#153 :]

WOW! That teaser not only held what it promised, the finished picture is ... *can't think of any words* I'd say "awesome, awesome to the max!" but it would problably too little.

Meh... I don't care about the celebreties... 20th is cooler 
(ok, perhpas not)

I can believe that they need a lot of time and the right mood to be in. But they realy look fantastic, at least the ones you've shown here. The other ones you haven't shown may even be better. 

Big on all you work, Cap'n!!!

[#154 :]

Thanks for the enthusiastic words folks.
I've got a cool idea I'm going to try to implent for Fry's moment in the Rum Light. Stay tuned...

[#156 :]

Can I hug you? 

[#157 :]

The Amy picture is so stylish!

I like the way you manage to make the real backgrounds and cartoon style characters fit together so well.

[#158 :]

Will Fry look like Guybrush Threepwood?

Wow, not too shabby! Especially Samuel L. Jackson, I'm a huge fan.
Btw, why do they call him Samuel L. Jackson? How many other Samuel Jacksons are there!?

Your Amy and Robot devil are AMAZING!
A lil random...but amazing nevertheless!
And your Pirate Planet Express ship is even better! How do you get the reflection on the surface of the water?!
Being a Brit, I don't know how old second grade is..any help?
