El-Man's Art - Updates Now and Then...
Hello, all.
Have been here for a little while, mainly on the IRC channel, but haven't had any art to post until now. Mainly because life got a little busy recently, and I wanted to start with this piece, as our esteemed Admin is the creator of one of the characters. Am not 100% satisfied with the background, but I was sick of tweaking it and wanted to get it posted.
I have no idea if Archonix will write a scene like this for Parallel Lives, I'm not trying to influence him (heavens, no!), nor is it a super-secret preview that we colluded on. It's just a little speculation by me...

Maybe I should have let Graham be the first to review this picture, but hey, I like it! The long faces threw me a bit, but hey, it's your style! I'll get used to it. I really like the composition, simple as it is, and the colouring is quite good.
Plus, of course, I'm always happy to see fanart for Graham's stuff.
Here's looking forward to more stuff by you!

Shiny! Cheer up, the background looks better than you seem to think and the composition rocks.
Our choicest plans have fallen through, our airiest castles tumbled over, because of lines we neatly drew and later neatly stumbled over.

Good to see that you're still about, El-man. Very nice pic. You almost can't imagine any other way the PL series could end (if it ever does) than the traditional final show down between good (in the white tank top) and evil (in the darkish tank top).

Thanks, all. RL, If you'd like to upload this pic to FM, feel free.
Am already working on my next piece, but it's not... appropriate for here. The two after it are, though.

We should team up on something again,

Actually, I was going to colour your 'Deathball Leela' pic, remember? I still intend to, it's just a little way down the list.

Nice art, El-Man! I love Fry but I really like how you drew him cowering in the back ground. The last Leela picture is pretty good too. Keep up the great work!

Sketchies are okay, yes? Bit of a threadbump, I know, but I prefer to keep my stuff in one place...

Re: El-Man's Art - Updates Now and Then...
Sketches are very welcome, as is keeping stuff in one place. I like how you've set up the action, with right-Leela vaulting over left-Leela's foot. A few problems: left-Leela's face is off-centre and the head is positioned too far to her right, right-Leela's legs are a bit long, and I think the bent arms and legs could do with more foreshortening. Other than that, keep threadbumping!
