Strangetown extras: Johnny, Ripp and Ophelia artwork - take 2

[strangetomato]

I have another drawing to share. My significant other completed his second, "new and improved" attempt at a drawing of Johnny, Ripp, and Ophelia, so here it is. I'm definitely going to make this into a painting recolour for the game at some point.

Pretty cool, don't you think? The colours are great, and I'm really liking what he did with the body shapes. He also intuitively knew that Johnny should be the butt of the joke. Why not laugh at the green guy, right?

*snicker* Ripp's hair got censored. Now how did that happen? (At least I amuse myself, right?)

Someone on MATY said it's the hair of a French comic strip character. I don't remember the name. It's also kind of a crappy mesh, one of those that gap when the sim moves. :p

It does look like Phi's hair in the drawing! :D

Were they talking about Tintin? That looks something like his hair. (I LOVE Tintin. ^_^)

I like Tintin, too. But no, it was a little boy character, in a very different style. Now I'm going to have to look it up...

Okay... I thought it was a bit too tall and zany to be Tintin, but it is a sort of similar. Now I'm really curious about where it came from.

OK, I found the thread again: More Awful Than You: Hair

The character's name is Titeuf. Here's the official website. I don't speak French, do you? I'm a little curious to know more about it.

Very cool. I think I recognize him. I can't help you with the French. I did learn it in school, but I stopped after grade 10 (I had issues with the teacher). My SO did French immersion (and had a French grandmother), so I might ask him to fill me in on the details.

He's not as fluent as he should be either, but he can get by. We went to St. Pierre et Michelon last summer, and he could manage to communication with the locals well enough. We're lucky to have that little piece of Frances just south of where we live.
