One more time....

Post by AssistantCrone » Mon Oct 09, 2006 8:23 pm

*reposts*

As I was saying, we were discussing airborne OFF members in chat and thought Homer would make a good hot-air balloon. (It's not really finished, but I'm afraid I can't do much more due to a dying computer). With any luck, here he is:

It's funny.  It's beautiful.  It's not Lisa.

It's [Principal?] Bigbutt!

Everything Terry said. I find no faults with this picture. Homer's scarily tapering arms and legs are a bit, well, scary, but I can't see how to do it otherwise.

Things I particularly like are the wonderfully tangible stitches, the colouring of course, and the pink novelty straw. Homer is very on-model for a balloon. The sky is simple but excellent: I can see brushstrokes in it.

Another stunning piece from Beb.

EDIT: And I forgot to mention Homer's floating hairs.

Well, I'll be darned if that's not one of the funnest, more interesting pieces I've seen here. Seriously, it's impressive and lighthearted at the same time. I don't know if that's what you mean by its "unfinishedness", but I like the overall emptiness of the sky, which makes the pic look like that "serious art" I've seen in other places. That's just neat. Surrealistic and funny.

Awesome work Beb. :)

I love everything about it, including the tones of the sky.  It's absolutely perfect for this pic.

Hahaha, nice one :D
Besides being funny, it's acturaly one of the most original pieces of fanart I've seen and is really drawn beautifully.

I love how you've used nice warm tones in the colouring, gives it a dreamy look and feel to it.

Great job :)

*LOL*!

This is hilarious. Brilliant picture, Beb :)
Aww to the dying computer though...

P.S. How about updating your SR gallery with the pic once it's finished? ;) I know several people who will be happy about that...

Great use of color and space.   Wow, Beb!  You are back to claim your crown. :)  And let me put it to you. Whew! This is one of the best pics of Homer I've ever seen, and funny too.   Kudos!

Thanks, guys, you cheer me up.  :)

As far as finishing goes: I mainly needed to tidy up the edges a bit more. The beer cans are supposed to be Duff Lite but it's hard to see, so I'll fix that too sometime. Thanks again.

Okay that is just a freaken awesome picture.
More than just a little funny, and I like the colours you used.
Keep it up!
Homer: Marge? Since I'm not talking to Lisa, would you please ask her to pass me the syrup?
Marge: Dear, please pass your father the syrup, Lisa.
Lisa: Bart, tell Dad I will only pass the syrup if it won't be used on any meat product.
Bart: You dunkin' your sausages in that syrup homeboy?
Homer: Marge, tell Bart I just want to drink a nice glass of syrup like I do every morning.
Marge: Tell him yourself, you're ignoring Lisa, not Bart.
Homer: Bart, thank your mother for pointing that out.
Marge: Homer, you're not not-talking to me and secondly I heard what you said.
Homer: Lisa, tell your mother to get off my case.
Bart: Uhhh, dad, Lisa's the one you're not talking to.
Homer: Bart, go to your room.
