Nasty=Artist? WTF?

[:]

Hey, figured I'd finally kick this off an open my first art thread. In the coming days, I'll post my first Futurama artwork as soon as I scan it.

For my first series, I have been drawing the major Futurama cast as famous rock stars and music personalities.

This idea originally came from my girlfriend, RabidPixy, but she decided not to follow up with it. So I decided to take a chance and try it. I have already completed two of the drawings, and I have about 5 more to come.

Here are some of the characters:
-Fry as Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day
-Leela as Madonna
-Hermes as Bob Marley
-Amy as Yoko Ono (with John Lennon's head in a jar)
-Zapp Brannigan as Freddie Mercury of Queen
-Kif as Ringo Starr of the Beatles
-Bender as Axl Rose of GunsNRoses
-Professor as Mick Jagger

Any other ideas you guys can think of are very much appreciated. 

And to hold you over until I scan the pictures, here's a painting I did for a high school art class. A new take on classic 1920s  Soviet-Communist propaganda:



Translated, the text reads "Arbeiter der welt...vereinigen!" or "Workers of the World Unite!"

[#1 :]

I'll withold my WTFing until I sees me some artworks!

[#2 :]

Are you going to post your artwork soon?

[#3 :]

It sounds cool, i cant wait.

[#4 :]

cool, also good title

[#5 :]

Fry as Billy Joe Armstrong cool, Green Day Rocks!!

The rockstar idea sounds great - can we at least see the 2 that you've already done?

Pictures, man!

[#7 :]

Nice artwork, although the German part certainly needs some work. Sometimes I don't understand you people... everyone round here is talking German, and yet you stubbornly insist on using English. It sickens me  . 

As for the slogan, a direct translation would read some thing like this: "Arbeiter, vereinigt euch!" Although the Commies usually had a rather good PR department, so it would probably be something with more drama, like the classic "Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!" If you want more, just yell - or check out German websites on the subject.

[#8 :]

Yeah, sorry everyone. My scanner is being a dick. Not to mention that I havent had the opportunity to work any any new art. But that should change soon.

As for the drawings, I already have Billy Joe Fry and Freddie Brannigan. Not my best work, but okay.

@Chrys: Sue me, I havent taken a German course in about 3 years.   

[#9 :]

Haha    Professor as Mick Jagger I can't believe my ears eyes

[#10 :]

That idea rocks, Rob! 

How about Mom as Tina Turner, or her sons as the Bee Gees?

[#11 :]

Update:

Finished two more just now. I'll see if I can get them scanned at Pixy's house later today...

Have to say, I'm very proud of my Amy-Ono pic. Looks awesome...

[#12 :]

Yay!You have more art on the way.

[#13 :]

Ask and you shall receive:

Fry. Pretty good. Definitely not the best out of the series, but I loved how the hair turned out:


Zapp. Definitely the worst out of the lot, but I'm very happy about how god damn ugly he looks. I made it a point to have him wear the tiniest possible clothing, and have LOTS of body hair:


Next up. Hermes. His hair looks awesome, and I mainly used his son Dwight's hair as a reference, but added a few more dreads to make it more Marley-like. I'm quite proud of the Les Paul Guitar, considering I did it off the top of my head without a picture:


Save the best for last. Here's Amy as Yoko. This is definitely my favorite. The expression of the face is good, as is the clothing with the light shading. I'm a bit bummed that John's Head didnt turn out as I'd hoped, but it's okay:

[#14 :]

hehe, i like those, they are really good.

[#15 :]

Cool.I like Amy the best.Keep up the good work.

[#16 :]

Huzzah for felt tips and coloured pencils!

Amy is great, gotta agree with you Nasty.

Awesome stuff.

[#17 :]

Lovin' the Zapp one there, Nasty! It's hilarious AND accurately good! 

[#18 :]

Zapp is the best og the pile for my money.  Good job, Nast.

[#19 :]

I love the fry one. I'n not a fan of Greenday or anything, but that pics gold.

[#20 :]

cool, zapp and hermes are the best

[#21 :]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.

I promise it wont take this long for the second set of drawings to be shown. 

[#22 :]

I can imagine Zapp singing "Living on my Own" camply, possibly crying.

great stuff Pastry!

[#23 :]

Even worse: I can imagine him singing "Friends will be friends"... and then break down and cry.

[#24 :]

Oh and nobody could forget Zapp if he sang "We are the Champions" and broke down crying at the end. 

[#25 :]

Amy as Yoko with John's head in a jar is bloody brilliant!
Howzabout Farnsworth as Neil Young?

[#26 :]

Hey! You ripped off my idea!
