Monkey art

[on:]

Well I finally got round to scanning some of my own work. I used Photoshop to colour them in, they may not be great because it was the first time i ever used photoshop.
Here are a few samples the rest can be found at TLZ



Tel us what yah think m'kay.

[Reply #1 on:]

Nice work, but the bottom one looks like the legs have been chopped off, not in the water.

[Reply #2 on:]

Yeah, I'm not feelin' the love for Double-Amputee Leela.

The top one... Matrix Leela?

[Reply #3 on:]

Yeah the beach one kinda went wrong I just could not make it seem like they were in the water. The other one is not the Matrix (primarily cause i dislike the film) is is a adaptation of a Farscape picture.
here are two more, the first I drew a while back. The second is more recent.

[Reply #4 on:]

How do you make them look so good? do you use flash 5?

[Reply #5 on:]

Hmm this is what happens when you do not read the top of the thread. Only joking I used Photoshop 7.0.

[Reply #6 on:]

I especially like the second one of the next batch. 

I have to say though, if you see one of mine on TLZ that looks sort of similar (Naked Leela, wings, bright effects) in the next couple of days, please don't think it as plagerising. For one I drew it long before I saw this thread, but it has just yet to be uploaded... 

[Reply #7 on:]

I'm cool, even if I thought it was copying I'd feel honoured. Isnce it's not I guess it shows great minds think alike.

[Reply #8 on:]

Oooh, nice. I really like the first and the third ones. Leela would make a good secret agent, or MIB.

Please continue the great work. Please.. 

[Reply #9 on:]

Why must Amy chopeth off the nipple of Leela?

[Reply #10 on:]

Perverted as Ever @$$

[Reply #11 on:]

Leela's lips don't look quite right in pic #4.

[Reply #12 on:]

The lips hmm ...dang i knew I forgot to edit something ahh well.

[Reply #13 on:]

Well here is the last of the hand drawn pics, for now at any rate. Some of you may know I'm abit of an anime freak (freak being the opritve word) which influenced me to draw this.

[Reply #14 on:]

Ryoko Leela?

[Reply #15 on:]

Is it just me or is Leela missing a foot?

[Reply #16 on:]

She lost it in a freak perspective accident.

[Reply #17 on:]

That last one is really cool. Why stop, they're great. 

Also, just in case you're interested, that winged Leela pic that *I* was going on about has finally been uploaded at FSAC.

There do look different enough 

For one thing mine also has a MiG-29 as well 

[Reply #18 on:]

Nice one, Zed. But it would've looked better if Leela was flying alongside the MiG Superman-style, if you catch my drift.

Nah, I'm just kidding. Leela looks great no matter what.   

[Reply #19 on:]

Cool  another difference is yours does not seem sinister, that's what i was going for anyway. Good stuff.

[Reply #20 on:]

Here are some new ones. The first i do ot know where it came from, I just started doodling and came up with it. 
The second is inspired by one of my favorite shows Neon Genisis Evangleion, mainly because allot of people have posted Eva pictures in the Anime pic post

[Reply #21 on:]

  Looking stunning. 

Something I like about women in sci-fi Stormtrooper-esque body armour   

[Reply #22 on:]

Okey so I was board and could not be assed to go round my friends to scan some new work in. So I looked at my old work and thought I'd do them again. Here are the products, I think they are improvements

[Reply #23 on:]

Pic #2: What is she, knee-deep in rawsewage? And why is her head on sideways?

Pic #3: Now her head's on backward, and her right arm and left leg are badly deformed.

[Reply #24 on:]

Aah my old friend constructive critisism   
Firstly they are old pictures just recoloured and I agree the forshoertining in these pictures sucks.
Secondly I was exprimenting with hues on the second picture and it might have gone wrong.
Anyway the colouring is an improvement yes, please say yes  : pleads:

[Reply #25 on:]

Um, yeah, sure... coloring...

[Reply #26 on:]

  some people are just mean 

[Reply #27 on:]

Okey I drew this one on holiday but have only just got round to colouring it. There are a few things I don;'t like about it but I was using a different techniqique for the shadding and highlights

[Reply #28 on:]

There's plenty of really cool artwork in this thread, and you have a very unique and cool style, wu_konguk. I especially like both of the pictures that you posted in the 07-27-2002, but they're all cool 

[Reply #29 on:]

Thanks Otis and I suppose unique is a complement yes. I do find my major problem is that I can not proportion the characters in a Matt Groening style, I became so used to drawing characters that are seven heads tall it is kinda difficult fir me to get out of that rut. I've just finished another pic and I'll post it soon.

[Reply #30 on:]

Okey another new pic form yours truely. Another one that I really don't know where the insperation came form. Perhaps it was devine that or something more sinister.

[Reply #31 on:]

Me likes. They both look good, I like the reflection in the second pic, only niggly point, really, is the raised hand. The fingers have gone a bit tits-up if you don't mind me saying, too much

[Reply #32 on:]

I'm really seeing a lot of improvement. You have a better grasp of anatomy and perspective now.

[Reply #33 on:]

Thank's Kryters and Zed youtr right the hand did go abit tits up but I was still fairly ill when I did it so I really could not be assed to do anything about it.

[Reply #34 on:]

Okey not a Futurama pic but this is the main picture form my sig. It's my Nightbane character, just so you know. Got some more Futurama pics that I'll send off soom

[Reply #35 on:]

Here's a new pic but also a test for linking so let's see if it works. If it does it is a homage to Alex Ross' oicture of Earth X Captain America.

[Reply #36 on:]

That's a cool, interestingly stylized picture  I like your Nightbane character above too, cool sword hand 

[Reply #37 on:]

Okay time for some more of my work :looks around: ohh well here they are. The first os a Gladiatrix Leela

The second yet again combines my two fave shows Farscape and Futurama


Hope ya like em.

[Reply #38 on:]

Amy needs to get some sun.  Seriously, how 'bout some of the other characters?

[Reply #39 on:]

My art, my choice. If I feel like doing the other characters I will buyt until then I will continue to draw what I feel  Like drawing. Sorry that's just the way i am. That said I might give em a go
