Description Last night I had a dream where I was palling around with an old man who turned into a talking cat. The old man/cat was an ex-arch-nemesis of Superman from the forties (not really, just in the dream) and we talked about that for a while. We visited an old Japanese-style house the old man/cat said he used to live in, and we walked in and talked with the current residents. They were freaked out by the talking cat. They were watching TV, and on it was Family Guy, except with really exquisite design and animation. The designs reminded me of the kind of thing Rally-SFA or TVsKyle would do.
Anyway I woke up this morning and felt like doing a Family Guy fanart, although it's not the look I saw in the dream. I'm actually really happy with how this came out, moreso than usual. The outfit I gave Stewie is inspired by a costume Arlong wore in Onepiece, although it's not exactly the same because I couldn't find the right reference pic to use.

Glad you like, I've always been concerned about her face in this drawing. I can't decide if it's OK or if it's a little too...idunno, exaggerated in it's features. I think I cleaned it up a bit a while back, but I can't even remember if this is that version or not.

Family Guy in your style is extremely cool

Wow! The perspective, the super-slick colouring (I'm a huge fan or orange of purple. So gorgeous in an ugly, nonsensical sort of way), and the surrealness all give this major points. Dream inspiration is a fantastic thing; it's saved my ass on more than one occassion

This Stewie cracks me up. Every single time I look at him. Dear god. Great work.

Besides the art, which is amazing as usual, I'm just in awe that you can apparantly have a dream, and then crank out a pic of this calibre based on said dream within a single day.

mallaard In reply to rocketdave [2007-06-10 20:23:18 +0000 UTC]

It helps to not have anything else going on. I love lazy Saturdays. Plus waking up with strong inspiration is a great start. It would probably take two days normally to do something like this but since I started right at 10:30 and worked most of the day until that time at night, I was able to finish it in one day.

SirGrunt [2007-06-10 04:09:36 +0000 UTC]

Awesome, sir. I really like the way you drew Stewie, to draw his head in perspective I'm sure was not easy. And of course any time Lois is in a skimpy outfit, I'm happy. I like the colors too, and the shininess. I'd kind of like to see how you would draw Brian.

mallaard In reply to SirGrunt [2007-06-10 14:39:00 +0000 UTC]

I guess I'd like to see that too, but he's such a laid back character I'd probably have a hard time getting anything I really liked out of him. Drawing Stewie was no problem, but I really struggled to get Lois right, both the body and the face.

SirGrunt In reply to mallaard [2007-06-11 00:28:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I could see how it would be hard to draw Lois in a different style, especially the nose.

I think you could make Brian interesting ... he is an alchoholic.

Those are both fun things, maybe it's something for you to consider doing. Kind of a nightmarish pop-surrealist image.

Haha this is really, really bizarre. I'm no fan of family guy but I'm a huge fan of you and I dig this. What is really selling it to me is the angle, but that is far from all that rocks about it. The interpretation of the characters hits dead on, Lois' nose is an example but hey, you knew that, you drew it. The colouring is really signature you, same with the lines and level of detail these characters have really never seen. Arlong Stewie is pretty funny, I don't think I would have thought of it if you hadn't mentioned it but I totally see it now. Stewie's expression is really great, I love those eyes! I think I'm just gonna go around in circles if I say any more, so yeah. Awesome stuff.

mallaard In reply to buddhistmonkey [2007-06-10 03:04:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, I was pretty excited when I got the idea to draw Stewie in Arlong's outfit from the Nami flashback episodes, so that probably fed into my drawing of him. He's got that manical merman smile to him. Of course Stewie's supposed to be one year old so there's no way he'd have this many teeth, but then again, reality holds no bearing on these characters. The nice thing about doing a Family Guy fanart is that the show lends itself to just about any kind of treatment, even super action/anime type stuff because it wanders around so much in subject matter.

Thanks! Aside from the Onepiece homage I was also kinda looking for something like what Brad Pitt wore in the movie Snatch. So he's well geared for fun, deviant behavior now.
