Description You can guess what this is a fanart of, although it sort of pushes the limits of recognizability. Whenever I sit around on Saturday night with nothing to do, it's fun to fall back on old favorites.

This is such a good spinoff of an older version of the girls, very creative...and the coloring and shading turned out great! ;^)

Ah, this looks familiar. I do really like it except that Blossom's pink eyes are a little creepy. Of course, that is the color that they really are.

The faces remind me of the animation in The Incredibles! Very nice coloring. *Awes*

I'm sorta reading up on both anime and classic style animation right now. I bought a book by Don Bluth that has some nice pointers in it, so I'm gonna try to use elements from both styles that I like. It might already be showing. I really liked the look of The Incredibles, the Pixar artists are excellent, so I appreciate your compliment a lot.

WOW this is such an awesome take on the Powerpuff Girls. A short film in this design would rock. Totally.

One of the images I used for reference this time was of the "tweenies" style PPG that they used for that one short music video, the one where they look like pop-fashion graphics. I would like to see them animated like this too, although someone already made one short clip in an anime style (PPGZ supposedly). Well if Square/Enix makes a PPG film, it might look a little like this, except a thousand times more detailed. And with some gay cowboys thrown in for good measure.

I can't believe I didn't notice who they were right off. Anyways, I especially like Buttercup. I think it's the face.

mallaard In reply to thweatted [2006-06-20 02:29:36 +0000 UTC]

A lot of people aren't getting it, I guess it's not quite as obvious as I thought. Then again, they are drawn like they should be piloting candy-colored robots in space. Buttercup's face was incredibly difficult to get right in the drawing, considering the angle and expression, and it still doesn't quite mesh with the other two, but I still like how it turned out on its own merit.

Ah, the Great trio of gals.
This is great. I've been without update on you. Look at the lighting on those bossoms! Well, among other things.
You should check out even more Shinkiro.

Hey. Did I lend you my comics?

I don't think you ever did, but I've seen them. You mean the Darkstalker ones and those other Udon thingies? I've been reading lots of video game design books, and by reading I mean oggling, so I'm getting some edu-mu-cation in this kind of thing. Glad you like what you see though, I'll continue trying to please.

DrewGreen [2006-06-19 07:19:42 +0000 UTC]

I'm gonna guess Powerpuff Girls, but I would also guess Totally Spies. however, it's not Totally Spies because that show does not have enough fans to have fanarts made of it. ^_^

mallaard In reply to DrewGreen [2006-06-19 11:27:36 +0000 UTC]

Your first guess is right, although I was also starting to see TS as I was drawing this. I don't know how many fans that show has, although I sorta like it ok. I certainly haven't seen much fanart for it.

I'm afraid to say that next to Hi-Hi Puffy Amiyumi Show, I hate Totally Spies the worst. However, I do enjoy PPG.

I drew up the figures and then had no idea where to go with the costumes. My roommate suggested giving them Evangelion jumpsuits, but this is about as close to that as I managed.

i'm looking at this and you could be a totally great fashion designer hehe...
i absolutely love the proportions of these girls.
I also love the way you colored it! it's the best I've seen in a long time^^

mallaard In reply to lashanathao [2006-06-19 11:32:12 +0000 UTC]

Fashion is such a mystery to me. Just what criteria are there for good design? I think it might be a pretty cool job to be a fashion designer, or at least study the art of it more closely (here's lookin' at you). I'm pretty pleased with the figures here too, kinda Sailor Moon like but with bigger heads. They're lollipop girls.

Yeah, I'm not so much a fan of this, really. The style is just too "out there" to be all that fun to look at. Distorted anatomy is all good, but it looks like you've got 3 different styles on each character going here.

Far to random.

What the hell do you know about anatomy, squidface? Apparently as much as you know about grammar... "far to random" indeed. Stuff your silliness up your IT butt.

Good lord! You forget one 'o' in a sentence, and the next thing you know you're strung up by your testicles and being flogged with wet bamboo.

Sheeeeeesh.

This has been bugging me: Who is that in your avatar? It looks like Conan O'Brien, only goofier-looking.

It's a cartoon of myself that I created for a cereal box that I made for a college project. I think it's in my scraps or near the beginning of my gallery somewhere if you wanna see the whole thing. But I agree it looks like near-sighted Conan O'Brien.

How did you color them??

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mallaard In reply to SuperBanti [2006-06-18 19:53:56 +0000 UTC]

My process is slipshod and inconsistent, but basically I colored them flat, then added flat bands of shading, and then airbrushed around the edges and inside forms to carve out the figures. Also screening is helpful for hair and soft fabric. Then added some gleamies for a nice shine, and lastly plopped a multiply layer of blue over top and erased around the highlights to sculpt the forms more thoroughly.

Still grinding out work with Photoshop 5.5, although I'll hopefully be getting some newer software and a tablet sometime in the near future.
