Alee's Artness

[on:]

I've enjoyed looking through the neato fan art (everyone's so talented!), so I've decided to post some of my own. Warning: Sketchy lines and rambling descriptions ahead. Here goes...

I hope I'm linking these right. Let me know if those damned red Xs are all you see.

I hadn't drawn Futurama characters in about two years when I just recently took another bash at it - this is what that first bash yielded:

That's my chair he's sleeping in. It's huge.

This one, titled "Good Morning, Starshine", was done about a week ago:

Leela waking up to greet the...one-eyed sea-green alien bird. It's gonna be a good day. (I don't know what the Pac-Man plant is all about.)

This one was drawn over the span of about three days, colored yesterday. I call it "Next To You" for no other reason than I was listening to Rose Royce's "I Wanna Get Next To You" while I colored it:

Waaaaaay too cuddly.

So...what say you, art critics of PEEL? "Decent enough"? "Don't quit your day job"? "The eyes, they burn!"? Go ahead, I can take it. Other stuff can be found at  http://spacejockey.deviantart.com  - it's new, but I'm always drawing.

That's cool. Spot on and nice colors.

Cool sketchy lines to, looks kinda "half cell-shaded".

I would like to see more.

[Reply #2 on:]

i like them, are you a proffesional artist?
that first ones realy cool, it reminds me of the episode 'I Roommate'

[Reply #3 on:]

(Just my oppinion) I think you should color the first one too. All the rest are and it might look pretty cool. Also, I like that last one best.

[Reply #4 on:]

Those are some mighty pics there, I especially like the second one.   
Funnily enough...

I could warn though, there's this guy called Teral. He may say something about that ponytail in the third pic being a bit too short (he's always going on about that kind of stuff) but that's just him.

awwww i like them. Specially the shippy ones. Do more?

[Reply #6 on:]

A posting-error deleted my last posting, so I'll try to post the same text again.

Above all: Alee - you artwork is wonderful and beutiful. You are truely very creative. 
Welcome to the PEEL artist community, also known as "Artists of the post-FemJesse-&-TheVoices-era" 

- So Fry is sitting in your chair? In that case, you have agood taste in chairs! 
- Also you have a great taste in music.  For no reason I was just about to post a few lines of "Good Morning, Starshine" around here, but the posting error deleted it.

Anyway, did you have a look at the "Drawing Art Contest" already? You really should ...

By the way - Zed-dear, doesn't the name of our new artist look familiar to you as well? 
Remember, long years ago ...

Edit: Another error. This time the internet connection made problems. Luckily somehow my posting was still posted.

Wazzat in, markers? Quite neat stuff, Alee, I go now to devArt, leave comments 

[Reply #8 on:]

That's so pretty! I love the colors, and Fry looks exactly Groening, especially in that last picture.. A very pretty, clean style.. I hope to see more soon.

[Reply #9 on:]

Great stuff Alee, I wish I were a quarter as talented as you.

[Reply #10 on:]

Wow, good stuff. I really like the poses and the colouring, you must have some good markers. The little cyclops bird is a nice touch 

[Reply #11 on:]

Very cool drawings you have there Alee, really creative stuff!

[Reply #12 on:]

Thanks so much for the kind comments, everybody!

I actually use a variety of color pencils (Prismacolor, Prang, etc.) - sometimes I use markers, but not often. I find it easier to blend and my coloring (which needs all the help it can get) comes out much smoother with pencils.

I did, but I'll have to go back when I have more time to really read it over. The gist sounds like fun, though - especially that hippie theme. 

[Reply #13 on:]

Cloolsome art, love the color and style 

[Reply #14 on:]

Love your drawings, Alee. Especially the one with Leela carrying Fry. Sooo cute!

Who, Aleel? I remember she always used to tease me whenever I mentioned I used to live very near her town. I really miss her now. 

Great Deviant stuff Alee, keep the drawing going!

@Mike   

"That's just him" as in "he's the only PEELer insane enough to obsess over such things" or as in "he's just seeing things that's not really there"? ... Wait a minute, don't answer that! Neither option is flattering.

Well, it's nice to be infamous, and you don't mess with the ponytail! 

Great pictures, Alee. I like the second one best, but the other two are great too. The third one is just too cute, Fry is spot on and Leela looks good as well (except the ponytail could be a tad longer (there I said it :runs: )).

[Reply #17 on:]

Don't listen to Teral too much. We have artistic freedom here in fanart. 

[Reply #18 on:]

Ofcourse we do, and I think it's damn cute either way.

Besides not many people listen to me at all. 

[Reply #19 on:]

You make a good point, Teral. Not that I'm listening.

I did realize that her ponytail came out a bit short, but by that time I had already colored the entire picture. I'm too impatient to re-color so, eh, short it is. Thank you for the compliments and the criticisms. 

[Reply #20 on:]

"If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me...?"

Not much, but something new.

[Reply #21 on:]

Nice art Alee.

[Reply #22 on:]

I must agree. 'tis is really good!

[Reply #23 on:]

That has something, something clool about it 

[Reply #24 on:]

awesome. awesome to the max

[Reply #25 on:]

Aww... They're so cute... Very beautiful, very creative. I love 'em! 

[Reply #26 on:]

they are very good, but how do you colour them?

Very nice new artwork 
Those words below of the picture are really touching and they fit good to the picture 

*whistles "Don't you forget about me" ...*

[Reply #28 on:]

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the compliments. 

bish, I use Prismacolor pencils and then touch up the image in this sort of pseudo-Photoshop thing I have.

[Reply #29 on:]

This is probably hardly worth an update, but this was the very first thing I drew in 2005;



It's not indicative of anything in particular, just a little sketch of a melancholy Fry.

[Reply #30 on:]

Aww, you made him looks so sad. But, you did a damn good job at it. Definately worth an update.

[Reply #31 on:]

I think I saw this stuff but never posted in here. I will say that I enjoy the first three pictures a lot.

[Reply #32 on:]

Wow. I really like these. And that one of Fry crying...I just wanna hug him. You're good at this!

[Reply #33 on:]

The last picture in your first post got a loud, unbidden "AWWWW!" from me. It was very cute. Your drawing style is very cute. I love the colored pictures. Also, your last picture is sad  but very good. Yay! New thread to check!

[Reply #34 on:]

Hey, this is some cool stuff you got here. I really  the Leela at the window and the one of Fry crying is nice and touching. Keep up the good work. 

[Reply #35 on:]

aawwww. Poor Fry. *huggles*

[Reply #36 on:]

I haven't posted here in a long time. Gread job. A very sad Fry 

[Reply #37 on:]

Those are great good work!

[Reply #38 on:]

That sketching style is perfect. I like the amount of expression you manage to get into the character's faces.

Don't stop again, this is seriously good stuff!

[Reply #39 on:]

Awesome stuff here. I like how Leela looks in that one where she's carrying Fry.
