Description Woot, my first fanart from the addictive show "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" ...I know, I'm a dork. I've come to terms with it and embrace it fully.

Anyway, clockwise from the top - Monkey Woman, Lemuria, Fat Momma, and Creature. The only girl contestant I left out is Cell Phone Girl, because she makes my brain hurt a lot. I actually only intended to draw Fat Momma and Monkey Woman, as they're my favorites, but I got this idea for the composition and like Lemuria and Creature more than I did before (I didn't like Creature at all at first, now I'm pretty much indifferent to her). So ta da!

There are a LOT of mistakes in this, but I'm still pretty pleased with it. Prepare for more fanart from this show soon

Monkey Woman, Lemuria, Fat Momma, and Creature (C) their creators or SciFi or Marvel....I dunno

EDIT I realized that I mispelled Lemuria's name a few times, calling her 'Lumeria' instead, so I went back and fixed it. Yay for pointless edit notifications.

Usually I hate reality TV... but my one weakness is WWTBASH. You've protrayed the female contestants with your usual flair. Fav'd!

Very cool. I like the perspective of all of them, and their poses and expressions, and as always, the beautiful colors.

Oooh, I like Lemuria the best ... the face, the hair ... Hehe, donut belt on Fat Momma, hehe. The face on creature is really pretty, too ... different a little from what you usually do (maybe the nose being turned a little up, rather than curved down), and the piercings just look awesome. I'm not really a piercing advocate at all, but some people can really pull them off!

rachelillustrates In reply to LimeGreenSquid [2006-08-19 23:02:12 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yes, I like how I represented Lemuria's features too (though I messed up her costume), and even though I'm not fond of Creature she was interesting to draw. She has noticeabley round eyes in real life, so I tried to play that up, and I always love drawing piercings. Oh, and yes, Fat Momma's donut belt really exists. Eating them gives her power

Is this another comic, or cartoon, or is it real people? (You said 'in real life', so i got a little confused, hehe).
Hehehe, Power Donuts, hehehe!

Oh its real people all right, here is information - [link]

Yup, and with the help of those donuts (I think), Fat Momma can grow to 5 times her size when she's angry. But any diet food or drink makes her shrink down to five inches in size

And Fat Momma's arch-enemy will be 2-D girl... so thin she's flat, can turn invisible by turning sideways and slip through the crack under a door! Muwahahaha.

I never heard of this show, but it looks like fun!

I would SO have donut shuriken. With like... death sprinkles.

rachelillustrates In reply to KartoonKween [2006-08-18 17:26:53 +0000 UTC]

*busts up laughing* That is excellent. I'm pretty positive that Fat Momma doesn't use them as shuriken, as she eats them. But if she were a Ninja she so would

Reminds me of "Ask a Ninja." Have you seen that? I highly recommend it. In one of the episodes the Ninja explains that if Ninjas were a food, they'd be very deadly cream puffs, with sharp edges and poisoned cream and powered swords instead of actual powder on top

And of course, thank you

Inutaisho001 In reply to KartoonKween [2006-08-18 00:52:17 +0000 UTC]

Those are not donut shuriken. Fat Momma's superpower is to enlarge herself after eating. Food is the source of her strength! She eats before each challenge!

Without food... she is helpless!

Donut shuriken would be SO much cooler, but that's just my opinion.

Monkey Woman rocks! I really like the vine she's holding. They all look great.
And Cell Phone Girl should be brutally beaten with a blunt object... Perhaps her own phone?

That's a bit harsh, but I'm really tempted to agree to that fate for Cell Phone Girl. She reeeaaaaallly makes my brain hurt *finds irony in that, if you catch my meaning*

And thank you very much

Superheroines unite! Whoo! This is beautiful, and eerily reminds me of the turn-to-comic cutscenes popular in the show.

Why am I somehow not surprised a female advocate for the larger women is at the front, and the thin-as-a-rail skinny girl found her way to the back? Or are you going to tell me that was just coincidence?! ^_^

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

rachelillustrates In reply to Inutaisho001 [2006-08-17 17:24:51 +0000 UTC]

That actually was just coincidence, especially as I think Creature is way thinner than Monkey Woman is. Monkey Woman is back there looking all pissed because I drew this right after THE episode, if you know what I mean And I guess Fat Momma's up front because it worked with the composition, but I can admit that subconciously I could have put her first for other reasons

And of course, thank you! I'm surprised that this reminds you of the cut scenes though, as the style's entirely different. Still, flattered

Well, maybe not Lumeria... you got the shape right but isn't her uniform supposed to be more... shiny?

I realize colored pencils have their limitations, of course.
