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

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! ^_^

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

[identity profile] simgarooop.livejournal.com 2008-06-17 02:11 am (UTC)(link)

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 ^^.

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.

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

[identity profile] jessicus.livejournal.com 2008-06-17 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
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:

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.)

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.

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!

ROFL!

Sadly, I know just how Johnny feels. Been there, done that. It was a seagull. Nasty, nasty thing. I had to go home and wash my hair :P

It's a great picture, even with Ripps hair being censored.

I LOVE Ophelia's pinky, lol! I don't know why, but that part just endears me to the whole thing. I love little details like that.

Before I had kids I had a pet cockatiel who I loved (sadly he was killed by my neighbor's dog) and just about every morning before work he would fly to me and ride around on my shoulder. I can't tell you how many days I went to work with bird doody on my blazer, lol!

Good times...

And what is it with all the seagulls? Does everyone live near the ocean or what? *is jealous*

We get confused seagulls out here though... they seem to think huge parking lots are water or something.

But that's his only shirt! I guess Johnny had to walk around half-naked for the rest of the day. Or maybe he borrowed Ripp's, and Ripp walked around half-naked.

I love his art style, really makes me wish there was a Strangetown comic book. Also love the coloring. And the way the car is shaped. It's a fun piece.

ROFL! You tease!! :P
Now I'm imagining Ripp with every single hair style I can think of!!! ROFL

Your SO is very talented indeed :)
That's a very unique style. So cool!. :D

Very nice. Ophelia looks a lot less severe in this one.

But I feel bad for the bird that dropped that load. Is the poo STEAMING? Damn, that had to burn coming out.

Ripp's new sideburns look sort of like the ones from K&BS. ;)

I cannot wait for another update, I really want to see what happens to Frances!

Oh what a cool pic!!! :D I love it! :D It looks so natural and awesome. :D And I can't wait to see Ripp's new hair!!! I hope it IS the faux hawk! :D

No! Censoring a romance sim brings up so many bad mental images.

[identity profile] half-pace.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Like, even though I've actually seen Ripp's hair, I'm now imagining it's a rather... interesting haircut.
