"Sometimes I just don't know what the h-word I'm drawing"
Posted on March 11, 2010 by Tim That's what Leela+Fry said when she sent this Fan Art. But hey, it's all good, 'cause sometimes I just don't know what the h-word I'm typing when I do these. But then, you probably already could tell that. 
So that's it, just one Fan Art today. A measly 408,512 pixels for your mostly sorta daily Futurama fix (and it's actually fewer than that as a lot of them are white).  And so, except for a couple of other tidbits and one ginormous fan video I haven't been able to tame yet, the old inbox is clear. Ahhh, finally, I can kick my feet up and relax for a while.  |
Looking Awesome
Posted on March 10, 2010 by Tim Grab the paste and the brushes and the ladders 'cause we've got some awesome new Wallpapers from Futurama_Freak1.  And Looking Awesome is just what this one's called. That's probably because Leela generally looks awesome no matter what she's doing. As for that hand gesture she's doing, I don't know - maybe she's telling Fry what she thinks of the size of his ... intelligence. Yeah, that's it.  Anyway, I'm pretty sure no one will have any trouble figuring out the gesture in the other one.
 It's been at least a week, or maybe a month, but whichever it's time for some more Cubert's Rants!  Bosda is back with some more snappy answers for the annoying little clone in 2ACV09 and one in some unexplored territory, Futurama's Scientific Achievements.  |
Time lurches backwards, and maybe a little sideways
Posted on March 8, 2010 by Tim Got a couple of new Fan Arts here from Vytas_Wolf. This a one's called Fryatar (can't imagine what that's supposed to be about  ) and the other one is a sketch of Fry confronting his inner angels and devils.  And I can't imagine he's got very many of those.
 Now about that time lurch, no, we're not re-enacting Bender's Big Score. If you've been following that countdown we've been running ticking off the days until the new season premiers, it's taken a two week skip backwards. And that's because news has reached us that, according to HitFix, the official date and time is now June 24, 2010 at 10:00 PM*. The upside to this is that I get a second chance to make a big whoopie over 100 days which I missed out on with the original date because something special was going on that day. The down side is I just realized that on that date I will be somewhere where there is no TV or Internet access.  Ah well. Thanks and a tip of the tin foil hat to Svip and SoylentOrange for the heads up. 
* none of the articles indicate what time zone that 10 PM refers too but generally here in the US of A show times are Eastern (UTC-4) unless otherwise noted. |
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!
Posted on March 7, 2010 by Tim Ok, I don't know if anyone outside of North America has heard those schmaltzy commercials, complete with echo, advertising some event that could be anything from a car race to a Freedom Day sale: “SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!” - if you're lucky, you haven't.  Anyway, kaspired used it to announce his latest Fan Art because this pic is part of a week's worth of pin-up a day pictures he did, and this is Sunday's - and it doesn't look like it's going to be a day of rest. He also sent the practice layout for it along with Saturday's pic (which isn't Futurama related, except that it has purple hair).  You can see the whole schmatlz on his DA page.
 It's a night for three threes - three SUNDAY!s and three fan arts from two different artists (and it also took me three tries to spell 'artists' correctly - but then that's after  (not to be confused with The Three Bears - completely different story)). Anyway, two of the pics that Rush sent in (one pictured here) are related - this one's called The Servant of Morbend and the other is The Cross of Morbend. I can't say any more about them 'cause Rush said “no spoilers or I'll send Universe Jumping Bender to pop in from an alternate universe to throw a brick at you.”  OH! Look at this, he also goes on to say “I'm just joking here, but don't tell them that”. Ooopsey! |
Oh man, my head!
Posted on March 4, 2010 by Tim Here's a hint, next time an Aussie offers to take you drinking, go easy on the Fosters. That stuff will kick your butt.  Or maybe I'm a lightweight. So anyway, I finally woke up and found my keys on the kitchen counter next to the rat poison, and also these two pieces of Fan Art. At least, I thought there were two pieces, but then my double vision cleared, although I still wasn't sure 'cause Leela's hair was the wrong color. Finally I figured out that this new pic from Robot's_Best_Friend is another pic like the last one he did - a “promo” for some mysterious AU work of Fruitosaurus' that is yet to be revealed.
 Ok, be careful where you step over here, because we've got something really unusual - Crap Art. I really had to dust and fumigate this wing of the Madhouse 'cause I haven't been in here in quite a while. But now we've got two new pics from Copper and so I put the crappier one up ('cause he said to put them in Crap Art and the rules say I've got to use the crappiest pic). The other one, of the Terminender, is actually pretty good. Huzzahs and Kudos for Copper! |
What you are now reading is normal. Do not adjust your ISPs.
 Tim, the regular guy has handed me the keys to the Madhouse after some “persuasion” so I myself can bring you the by-product of over half a year of eating donuts, drinking coke and playing videogames. Prepare yourself, the reign of comics about altered sexual prefrences is at an end as I bring you The Surrogate Mutant with 25 hearty pages of story and 10 bonus pages of extra juicy comic-like content. So grab your reading glasses, a bowl of bachelor chow, head out to the comics page and get ready to read the greatest story ever conceived!*
*Note: This is not egotistical boasting but rather a tasty pun on one of the comic’s themes. |
It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum
Posted on February 28, 2010 by Tim Those of you that might recognize Duke Nukem's catch phrase might also enjoy this Fan Art from Trevin Bernhard, which is a tracing of Fry and the Duke's words - they seem to go together somehow. Trev's other pic, which you'll have go see, is based on the cover art for the video game Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. For those of you that don't know what Butcher Bay is, it is a triple max security prison and with Leela's temper it's not surprising that she ended up there. And for the Riddick fans wondering why she doesn't have goggles on, she hasn't gotten the eyeshine yet.
And speaking of Trevin Bernhard, he also send in an answer to one of Cubert's Rants. Just one. IN 2ACV01 (yes, the same one that just got some answers a couple of days ago). Just scroll down to where is says “Bite Me”.
Ok, last thingy here today, Rush is back, this time exercising his manifold talents with a Fan Fiction. It's called Bender and the Beanstalk and as you might guess it's a retelling of the children's tale Jack and the Beanstalk Futurama style, and I guess it would be fair to say that Bender doesn't know Jack. |
Let deathball begin
Posted on February 25, 2010 by Tim Two heads are better than one they say, and in that department these two really have it on the deathball. Yes, there are two artists on this one, 'cause it's another Fan Art from that dynamic duo of fanartdome, El-Man and Futurama_Freak1. FF1 did the sketch and El-Man the ink and colo(u)r. In fact, since they call themselves El-Freako I created a whole new fan art section under that name just for their collaborations.
 This is one of those things that reminds me I need to redo the Framegrabs into something a little higher res than “Commodore 64”. But that's not important now. What is important that I received this e-mail from Steven who works for an outfit called NASA (maybe you've heard of it? Spaceships, men on the moon, interplanetary probes, that sort of thing). Steven says “I want a Robotology fish for my car! Can you tell me where to find one?”. Sadly I can't, but it is such a really cool idea that I want one too. If anyone knows if such a thing is available, or maybe has access to a CNC plasma cutting machine, or can get a really good clean frame grab of it, we'd love to hear from you.
 And lastly but certainly not leastly here's another Fan Art from Rush. It's Bender and Magnemite - and if that isn't a match made in heaven then you just don't appreciate folk music. |
I'm flyin' blind on this one ...
Posted on February 24, 2010 by Tim ... cause I left my dongle with all of my e-mail and stuff at work. so, let's wing it. Here are three “really awesome” drawings, all parodies of movies. Well, actually, here's only one of them, you'll have to go to DSS' Fan Art page to see the other two. This one is a parody of James Cameron's Avatar, and the other two are the That Yellow Bastard segment from Sin City, and a parody of Quarantine.
 Damn his googly cloned eyes.  Yep, it's more answers to Cubert's Rants from that rantbuster extraordinaire Bosda. In this one, he takes on the “googly eyed clone” in 2ACV01 and some of them are down right hilarious. Read 'em and weep, Dorkbert. |
Bite my glorious golden ass
Posted on February 22, 2010 by Tim OK, I feel kind of silly, and it isn't entirely due to the fact that ... errr, well, it's not that. It's 'cause I know there's a story behind these two new bits o' Fan Art from Robot's_Best_Friend and I don't know what all of it is. I know he drew it for Fruitosaurus and he says it's “kind of a promo for her made up parallel Bender and Leela characters”. What I don't know is where these parallel characters appear, 'cause Fruitosaurus has a fan fic on FMMB right now (slightly writers blocked at the moment  ) and I don't recognize them from there. Now the smart thing to do would have been to write and ask, but I would have had to have been non-lazy to do that so this is much easier. In any case, I'm sure upon seeing this someone will tell me what amazingly obvious thing I've overlooked and we can all have a good laugh. |
