GLaDOS was going to bake you. You were going to be the cake.
I know, but there's no 'Test Subject' in the list of ingredients spurted by Cake Core so she could have made it without. Xanfor: How about Fry/Kim crossover as ponies in Equestria, testing in a Pony-Science facility? EDIT totp

Xanfor: How about Fry/Kim crossover as ponies in Equestria, testing in a Pony-Science facility?
I considered that, but I would be hard-pressed to not end up with a mere ripoff of Better Living Through Science and Ponies. Not that I couldn't possibly do it, but there's only so much material for "ponies trapped in a testing facility" -- and Portal fanfiction is best when it's based on character. Simply reading about someone solving logic puzzles isn't very exciting, even with an insane computer trying to distract them with inane comments.

Freako has very strong art-fu. You would be wise to heed his advice, Nibblonian Grasshopper.

First, I do not wish the question Freako's right to voice his opionion. Yet, I must say the pupils look completely all right to me size wise. You might consider adding a slight blurr to Leela's pupil. It's not a big difference, but will make the eye look slightly more organic (okay...more "organic" is a rather relative term when it comes to Groening's approach to human anatomy ). The chicken pupil, and the other hand, should remain unchanged. Granting the plastic/glass/whatever eyes on the chicken a different look compared to a real eye. Oh yeah, and this: ... (the only thing I rush/suck at is backgrounds) * Inquisitor Hein switches to "Young Frankenstein" eremit voice: "Background is good...details are your friends"... But to voice something serious about backgrounds: The proper way is usually to begin with the scenery, and then "populate" it with the characters. Not to start with the characters, and fill the blank spaces with background details. (Though I will openly admit that -for reasons of lazyness- I usually go for the "characters first" approach, and reserve the "real deal" only for big scenes. Yet...if you want to improve your backgrounds, you might consider trying that "background first to be populated with characters later" strategy at least once) (And -once again- my post looks like I got only things to complain about that pic, right? I feel that need to point out again that this is of course NOT the case )

Nice work. Something doesn't look right with her ear though... it seems kind of square-ish.
Yeah, I royally stuffed that up xD I think that happened when I was shifting vectors around and instead of moving it I must have extended it - I obviously need to pay more attention next time >< ty! ~ <3 First, I do not wish the question Freako's right to voice his opionion.

Not really possible with the program I'm using... although I'm learning about gimp at uni so I might be able to use that once I know how. Oh yeah, and this:...

I know this is not the case ~ I'm currently laughing cause the moment I say I'm tough enough for criticism, everyone's jumped on the bandwagon! Not that I don't mind However that sounds like a good approach. I wanted to do a proper background for Fry and Leela with the chicken hats, but there were people in the background and I wasn't to confident with trying to fudge bg details where I removed people from. My art is character focused and that's probably why I am not too keen on too much background detailing. But thank you for the tips, oh detail master, I shall try and implement these to future arts! ~ <3

Oooookay..that's quite a lot of work I just realised: The images dod follow a spiral shape, with the most recent ones to the center, right ? Brilliant idea (The whole layout reminds me a bit of a "Talisman" gaming board, but I guess that's probably just a coincidence...)

Leela furtively sidling in to the 'Happy Ending Massage Parlour' to ask if Heather's available? edit: I hope this is ok, but re Dat Hair pic above; I think Freak was meaning you to change your brush tip* to get an effect like this: Uploaded with ImageShack.usI just v quickly gave the eyelashes, nose, some hair lines, and boob-lines a once-over - this way, it's a much smoother line; very handy for closeup work like a headshot *er... in actual fact I obviously didn't reline your pic, just used a brush on a 'soft tip' setting to smooth down the flat ends of the lines.

Thanks Fry875 I'm still learning though! Marcus: Ah, I see! Well I'm learning how to use gimp so I'll look to see how to get that effect. Thank you! A drawing of the Fry family, haven't seen them all together.
The battle of Neanderthal, with all major participants is out of question, I assume ?
Leela furtively sidling in to the 'Happy Ending Massage Parlour' to ask if Heather's available? Buffed Fry!
^ All been added to my 'to-do' list including a few from DA. And Hein, I'll do my best to get as much background in as I can possibly do! In the mean time, have a redone art: if you want to see the comparison:
