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?)

Cute. I'm thinking the faux hawk is Ripp's new hairdo, but I will wait to find out I guess! :)

It looks really good. I love their body shapes, the fact that he got their personalities so well... (Ophelia's modest laugh) and... the background is quite cool too, he got the desert feeling really well. :D

I wonder why he put a huge black box over Ripp's head though. :\

This is awesome, the body shapes are almost exactly how I imagine they would be from your descriptions of the characters. The only thing missing is an arched brow at the bird who dared to leave a.... deposit... on Johnny

Argh! Always teasing with the hair!!!

It took me a good ten seconds to figure out why you censored Ripp's hair. I was like "What's the big deal? His hair shaped like a penis?" Then I remembered that he gets a haircut we have yet to see. D'oh!

Your SO is soooooooooo freaking talented! This looks great! I love how Ripp's all out laughing at Johnny, but Phi is trying to stifle her laughs bit. Just how it would be in game. The background is really great too! I've never seen cacti drawn in the shadows so well!

You should put this on that huuuuuuuge painting, that one that takes up like 4 slots and costs over $5000. The proportions look good, and I'd totally download it and put it in ever room! ^_^

Hmmm, maybe... I wouldn't want to give it away now, after this last attempt to keep it a secret. ;)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

The colours are very desert appropriate too, aren't they?

Heheh. Maybe because I told him too. ;) For now, anyway... I'll show the full image after I've revealed my most silly of cliffhangers.

Yeah, Johnny seems more like he's just resigned to his fate here, doesn't he? *snicker* Poor Johnny.

I couldn't just spill the beans on the hair with this, now, could I? Well, I could... and I was sort of tempted to just show it, but that would make my big "surprise!" moment sort of pointless (and I have such a good expression picked out for that, it would be a shame to waste it).

[sinderellah.livejournal.com]

The penis shaped hairdo crossed my mind at first too. XD

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, his hair is shaped like a penis. You're exactly right. :P

He's not bad, is he? I love how well he managed to capture their personalities there, with very little instruction from me.

Hmmm, which painting is that? I'm thinking I'll make this one (and the other one too, probably) into a variety of different paintings, from posters upwards, if I can find meshes to match the shape. It will be fun to see it in-game.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

OMG! How did you know? :O

[music-simbol.livejournal.com]

HA! I knew it! Of course Ripp would shape his hair like a penis! (Course, how much hairspray and gel would that take? :P)

It's the big blue and white one all the way near the end of the catalog. It's huge. You'll know it when you see it.

And if your SO does a few more, I'm totally make a museum dedicated to them. No joke. And I'll make it a community lot that my legacy sims visit to scope out spouses. :D:D:D:D

[music-simbol.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's mind is a little dirty. :D

[simfulacts.livejournal.com]

That reminds me, it's bird poop season. It happens to me at least once a summer, usually in my hair... Grrr...

[sinderellah.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Buck didn't cut it that way, but it wouldn't be out of Ripp's realm to style it as such later lol.

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

That happened to me once... and I was definitely NOT amused! :D

(Stupid seagulls!)

Lovely picture! I really like the expressions of the three characters, they really match their personalities. Though I figure that as soon as the shock from being "poo-ed" by a bird wears out, there's gonna be an arched eyebrow and a long, long glare directed at the other two. This is NOT funny! :D

The censoring also made me laugh :P.

Yeah, you should make a painting or poster with it. I'll surely use it to decorate my lots ^^.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Do you mean this hair? *wink*

[zepheera.livejournal.com]

LOL, when I lived with my brother, we were moving into our new place and doing the couch up the stairs mambo, when he drops his end and starts cursing,

Turned out a seagull got him right in the ear... at first he thought I'd spit at him. Man I laughed so hard for about 20 minutes I couldn't breathe, and then I continued to laugh at it for the next week.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Aw man. That's gorgeous work. That's, like, John K. gorgeous. The body shapes, the tilt of the light poles and cactuses, the car, everything.

Ophelia's my favorite here. Sexy curves, and that little crooked finger. Yeah.

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

*applauds* :D It looks great! Aww, poor Johnny.

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

WTF?!? O_o;

[jessicus.livejournal.com]

That's awesome. My first thought was penis shaped hair as well, heh. Johnny's hair in this one has some body going on.
:sends recolouring vibes:

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

I know. I found it via MATY's "More Awful Than You" contests. :D

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

I love it! It's gorgeous, but damn I wish we could see Ripp's hair!

I love the strange greenish colors and Ophelia's left hand. Also, Johnny's hair is shiny and pretty and his feet are charming too and Ripp's body language is awesome. This is a really great picture of the three of them!!! :D

(if you make it into a painting recolour is there anyway you could possibly use one of the paintings from either the base game or nightlife? I-I don't really have many expansion packs and would LOVE to have this ingame.)

[dragancaor.livejournal.com]

Thats just awesome! Your other half is very talented =D
The poses are fantastic & those colours really really work. I adore Ophelia's little finger quirk as she giggles.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

I love this! I too thought that his hair was censored because it was shaped like a penis. And when I saw Pixel_and_Bean's link, I laughed for like a whole minute because that's what I was picturing! Nonono, his hair must be reeeaally low maintenance because we all know how lazy he is! :P

Oh you're like, BEYOND a tease now, woman! I don't even know what to call you anymore! :snicker:

But back to the picture, I love the colors! But I think the best thing about it is definitely Johnny and Ripp's feet. They're huge!
