Episode V: General Fan Art Strikes Back

[Reply #320 on:]

The hair doesn't need changing, it's perfect for the type of light she's standing in, just like the slight orange tint/glow on the skin and jacket.

Awesome pictures from both Wu and Zed  .
Ditching the black lines and going for a painted style isn't easy... but it does look absolutely gorgeous.

[Reply #321 on:]

Thanks for the comments everyone! And yes, Zmithy you've nailed it on the head, thank you!   

Actually - well I was one of the first to say "painting without black lines is an absolute bastard" - but I've been using the pen tool in Photoshop and actually there are some easy(ier) ways to do it. I'll probably keep the skin outlined to fit the style but hair, clothes and accessories I may remove all the lines in the future

Zed: Hurray, you are back in business. Now if only EL returned.

Wu: You are the Futurama cheesecake Master Apprentice!

I remember TheVoices did an excellent period of cheesecake, not as good as his latter art but it grabbed our attention...

Great Pic Zed, Great pic. Very nice, like the shading and the hair is great

@any one, how do you use the pen tool?

General fan art on page _2_... bump 

An earlier pic just got completed; as ever, any comments/ opinions very welcome! Title is 'a welcome home'.

...ewww. Was the pit hair really necessary? We've seen Leela's underarms before. She shaves. Most american women do. Pit hair is really unattractive.

[Reply #327 on:]

Ummm... yeah. So, this is the first futurama related thing I've ever drawn. And the first thing I've drawn at all in about a year. Just a test drawing, really, you know, making sure I can still handle a pencil. All in all, pretty crappy, but I'll get beter eventually, I hope.

It's dark, because I just now realized that I don't have a scanner, so I hade to take a picture. Damn, it's compressed as a bitch, too. Fucking image shack, the version om my hard drive doesn't look that bad!

[Reply #328 on:]

Nice pics everyone, although the pit hair did freak me out... 

[Reply #329 on:]

Marcus the picture is good apart from the armpit. So unladylike

Hehe, you look and the picture and think hmmmm  then notice the hair and you are like    .

Loose the hair for the next one.

[Reply #331 on:]

That pic is great expect for the underarm hair
any way heres a very nice Leela pic http://www.deviantart.com/view/19551854/

[Reply #332 on:]

That is so cool I like it

[Reply #333 on:]

Cheers for comments 

I was way more worried about the front of Leela's tanktop - nipple-shading never looks right, was a mistake to try and include.

Talking of mistakes... No, I still kind of like the underarm hair there (though it looks like I put the armpit too high...), it looks... I dunno, european... :P Still, next few pics are armpit free, so question won't arise while I think about it.

Thanks again for posting 

[Reply #334 on:]

Never go wrong with nipples. Also, pretty sure most European women shave their armpit hair if they are under 40...I've only left the UK once so I'm not an expert...

[Reply #335 on:]

Mibbe I'm still subcconsciously affected by the underarms of a group of Spanish women I was in a lift with aged 12. Much money could be wasted in therapy talking about it 

[Reply #336 on:]

Hehe.
Oooh, and do more Amy. Less hair and more nipples!

[Reply #337 on:]

I have to comment on the motion lines that the ships have in the background.  They're subtle, but perfectly done.  The red ship looks especially nice and 3-D.

[Reply #338 on:]

This is my first attempt at a scan:

 

Does anyone know how to make it bigger? Im useless with computers!!

[Reply #339 on:]

Cheers, Square  Taking time with backgrounds is a newish thing for me, so nice to have it noticed!

@Jonny Wobbs... intruiging name...  Anyway, it'll depend which program you're using, but if you want a big finished scanart piece, you need to:

1) take your chosen framegrab.
2) resize it, large - I work on my pics at about 2500 x 3000 pixels or similar.
3) do your scanarting wizardry on the grab.
4) when finished, shrink it down to whatever display size you want - 800x600 is standard, but whatever you reckon's best.

Unfortunately... you can't really (to my knowledge) make a finished scan, like the one above, bigger; sorry. It's a shame, because that's an excellent first go! texture _and_ shading in L's hair  Actually, I quite like how parts of the pic (hair, scrunchie, lips, dress) are shaded, draws the eye to them...

[Reply #340 on:]

Not bad for a first try Mr Wobbs. 

[Reply #341 on:]

Thanks!! I will Try to do another one.
This is my second, not so good attempt, at a scan. Oh, and by the way, Wobbs isnt my surname, its my nickname!!

[Reply #342 on:]

Always fun to see Captian Yesterday.

[Reply #343 on:]

another week, another stab in the dark at humour...

figured not everyone would hate this equally, thought I'd post it. As always, comments and opinions very welcome   

[Reply #344 on:]

Another great picture Marcus.

And no armpit hair!

[Reply #345 on:]

And now the latest news is that the Mayor's trying to crack down on covert porn productions in New York's alley ways.
And I like Leela's armpit hair.
It doesn't work on every woman, and it really depends on the hair itself.
I could tell you stories...............

[Reply #346 on:]

W00t. Somebody listened to me. Nice job Marcus, if you ever get a site feel free to put the less covered up versions up on it.

Cap'n: Tell us in the relationships thread, We wanna hear it!

[Reply #347 on:]

Marcus anf Jonny Wobbs, great pics dont stop
Here is a Fry I did http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20113090/

[Reply #348 on:]

Marcus, I dunno where u got the idea that european women don´t shave your armpits, I guess you´ve never been here uh?
Anyways cool artwork!

[Reply #349 on:]

Cheers for comments, guys  I do think pit hair must return in some future pic... soon as I figure one out...

@Nurdbot: heh, sorry... that was an old pic I was relining... still, you made me _choose_ to do that one next! I don't have my own site, no, but if you like I could email you the non-peel version...? I'm at thatenglishguy@hotmail.com, gies a shout if you're interested 

@Me_In_Honey (hmm, another great name!): no european woman has ever shaved my armpits, no 

Seriously, I've never lived in Europe, just visited; parts of France, Spain, Austria, Czech Repub., Germany... I've seen a lot more women there who don't shave than I ever did at home; I don't say it's a rule, just it's more common 

Markus.

Just a quick picture i did from a framegrab.   

[Reply #351 on:]

Marcus, Nice Amy and Leela pictures, good to see you haven't stopped doing art, albeit you've stopped something else   

[Reply #352 on:]

Message sent.

[Reply #353 on:]

Where abouts could I a elchupenebrey [sic]?, that green monster in the ep. "I second that emotion"

[Reply #354 on:]

Marcus: woops I meant their of course :-))

I live in Europe and I´ve rarely seen women with unshaven armpits, just several old and fat  ones who don´t care about themselves

[Reply #355 on:]

Me_in_Honey: well, reasonable men can differ  Even if one of them's a female man, or 'woman', as the kids say... 

[Reply #356 on:]

Just thought I'd share this - not really Futurama fan-art (though it is fan-art of something else) but I really like it and hope to add some of the things I learned while doing it, into my Futurama stuff 

Very big though

[Reply #357 on:]

Cool pic Zed, Futurama like would be sweet! Is that 3d? Also is it Star Wars?

[Reply #358 on:]

Very nice pic, Doug. 

[Reply #359 on:]

Cheers 

It's a Knights of the Old Republic II fan-art of the fair Mara (as a Jedi) 
Not it's all 2D actually 

But I've got a Futurama one now. And KOTOR at the same time. Ain't I a genious? 



Dead chuffed with how the backdrop came out.
