The Simpsons & Futurama Fanworks Central

[Assistant Crone]

Well worth doing for the pun alone. Are the coloured bits painted or paper on wood? Either way, they're very nifty things.

[Wilde Gray Yonder]

Awesome fan art! And, well, like any other person with two left hands, I admire people who can put stuff together.

I wish I were a noblewoman so I could have a fan like that...

[Kaspired]

Assistant Crone:
I have to blame these on FuturamaFreak1.  I'm contributing a panel to his comic book, and he said something about it being a generic piece of fanart.  That was the "Eureka!" moment.

One fan has paper double-sticky taped onto balsa wood, the other is the same graphic but on a folded piece of paper.

Wilde Grey Yonder:
Too busy laughing for a good reply...

[Futurama_Freak1]

You're not contributing a "panel" a panel is within the story, not the "Letters & Art" Section.

Amy is next...

[Wilde Gray Yonder]

This looks even better when coloured! I like how she has bits of purple left in her hair.

[Assistant Crone]

Me too, and the highlighting gives it that cotton-woolly effect you see on elderly hair. Once again, you're particularly good at making things look nice and solid with your colouring. Good colours, too, with her blouse picking up the colour of her eye, those pink tinges and shiny bits that make the skin look more realistic, and the tiny red capillary bits in her eye (although perhaps they should start from the two outside corners rather than the iris).

I notice that most of your stuff has a coloured-paper-as-underpainting effect, which is also neat and helps with the 3Dness. (I also just realised it must mean having to draw your sketch out again -- I can't decide whether that's annoying or really useful. Probably a bit of both).

Good luck with Amy!

[Kaspired]

Thanks, you guys are sharp.

This is up on my DA site also (in a larger file, more detail)  http://kaspired.deviantart.com/art/Gran ... 078.  Amy is about half finished.

Redrawing is a mixed bag.  Sometimes it comes out better, sometimes it doesn't help.  Occasionally I'll goof and use the wrong paper color, that's frustrating.

It was already neat, but the colouring has made it yet more so. Spiffy

[Kaspired]

Thanks alot!

This one was pretty successful, I hope the Amy drawing comes out half as well.

Here 'tis...

[Quazie89]

I don't believe I've seen an older Leela before. I thought that was a pretty unique piece of artwork. The fan is pretty cool, too. And you done a nice job on the last Amy pic.

[Kaspired]

There are a whole freight trains full of Leela and Fry getting into middle age, usually with a kid or two or three.  This is the only one that I've found with her in old, ancient, sitting-on-a-porch age.

Thanks, glad you liked all these.     

[Kaspired]

lookit, some more!

The first one is an updated version of a drawing for Red_Lines story "Fryscape".  The original was just pencil. 

The second one, well, I know it's not even remotely Sims/Futurama.  I did ask first, by the way.  But if anybody objects I don't mind pulling it.  My niece playing "Peek-a-boo-pie".
