Official Fanart thread

Interesting resemblance. I never heard of Danny Phantom before, but Google Is My Friend. (All hail the mighty Google!)

I'll stick with StartPage. That way I can get the Google results without Google collecting or reporting my metadata.

Here's the Wikipedia page on StartPage and their parent company Ixquick. Thankfully, the Dutch government understands and enforces the basic right to privacy.

Okay so I know this doesn't really count as fanart but I haven't been in the mood lately to draw but I still wanted to make something fun to celebrate faye and bubbles

Idk how widely known these things are but a hip thing with the kids on tumblr is making aesthetics / moodboards for characters or ships. Essentially making a collage of photos and images that when put together capture the "Aesthetic" of the character or relationship in question, or are simply just images of things that relate to them. It's neat.

So yeah of course I made one for faybles

(honestly these are pretty quick and fun to make so if anyone really liked these i wouldn't mind making moodboards for other characters or ships in qc)

[fayelovesbubbles]

So, ok. I see Faye's overalls, "now open" for their business, the broken bottle is Faye's drinking problem, the dogtags for...Bubbles' time spent in the military? them loving each other, being turned on by each other, Bubbles' punching bag...?

But not sure about the other two...

I love that I can see two that are definitely Faye and two that are definitely Bubbles. And their traumas (Bubbles' military service, Faye's drinking). And then three that are what they share (love, being turned on, Union Robotics).

Beautiful.

So, ok. I see Faye's overalls, "now open" for their business, the dogtags for...Bubbles' time spent in the military? them loving each other, being turned on by each other, Bubbles' punching bag...?

But not sure about the others...

I love you = Faye loves Bubbles ...and Bubbles loves Faye.
Dog Tags = Bubbles military service
Broken Bottle = Faye's recovering from alcoholism / Bubbles smashing that bottle and grinding it into dust
Athletic Pose = Faye got buff. Bubbles always was buff. Bubbles often wears athletic gear in public.
Welding = Faye is an experienced welder. Their business is mostly metalwork.
Coveralls = Faye's current style.
Punching bag = Bubbles's punching bag/s. Maybe also Faye's habit of punching people?
Light Switch = Sudden realization of sexual desire.
Now open = Newly developed and hard won capacity for emotional intimacy. Also Union Robotics.

The other portion of the punching bag is when Faye almost fell off the wagon, but didn't - she vented the stress by beating the crap out of a punching bag.

A most excellent catch! I had forgotten about that scene. There sure is a lot of punching in this comic...

[fayelovesbubbles]

Ohhh. I couldn't even see the welding picture. I couldn't see what it was.

[fayelovesbubbles]

No art, but uh, I tried to draw my avatar and stopped before I died of embarrassment.

My drawing skills are not good...I need to work on it.

Those of us who've been around for a while know how hard Jeph's worked on his art - I seem to remember a session of life drawing classes he alluded to in the newsposts at one point. 


Copying the masters is a great way to learn...

Your links had me browsing the strips from back then, and reminded me that Faye can do a Bubbles voice: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3277

Enters the gallery.
Hm, a quiet place. *Sneakily hangs fan art on wall*

Spookybot are so smug, they can tango with themselves.
*Leaves the gallery*

[Carl-E]

Oh, that's marvelous!

[Welu]

Please come back to share more if you want. Amazing work!

[Penguin]

Eee, thank you both!

Please come back to share more if you want. Amazing work!

I might at that, if/when I make something another time

[Penguin]

Since I'm really super easy to flatter encourage, here's a portrait of Tai:

[Carl-E]

You have a fantastic sense of flesh and shading... 

[Welu]

I really like the detail on the shading under the tattoo. The expression and pose feel very Tai as well.

I'll stick with StartPage. That way I can get the Google results without Google collecting or reporting my metadata.

Here's the Wikipedia page on StartPage and their parent company Ixquick. Thankfully, the Dutch government understands and enforces the basic right to privacy.

First, it may sound hard to believe, but Google not only Just Doesn't Care about you personally, Google actively really doesn't want to know anything about you personally.  As far as Google is concerned, you're a cookie, not a person -- and, for what it's worth, it wants you to stay that way. What it don't know, it can neither be forced to reveal, nor, worse, reveal by accident.

Second, and more important, Google's really not the real risk to your privacy out there. Fact is, you leak metadata all the time. When you logged in to make a comment here? You left a trail of cookie crumbs. When you apply for a professional license, you left a cookie crumb. Every been bankrupt? Ever been in default on a line of credit? Ever had a cell phone? There are companies aggregate and sell those trails of cookie crumbs. It's among the kind of stuff that the credit rating agencies (and "alternative credit agencies") sell. 

Did you or did you not vote in the last election? That's a public record, and somebody, somewhere, has aggregated it with other data about you and packaged you -- and this is the real person, you -- up and sold you to somebody else. Probably to a lot of somebody elses.  In some states, if voted in a primary, the party in whose primary you voted in was kept as a public record. Yes, someone can figure out your political affiliation from the records in the county courthouse.

Ever use a credit card or a debit card? That information's for sale, although the purchasers have to meet certain requirements about data storage and usage to purchase it. That's OK, though, they can buy versions of the data without the PII (personally identifiable information) obscured without those restrictions.  It's cheaper, too. I know security researchers who've looked at the problem of figuring out how to beat that kind of obfuscation. They tell me that it really isn't very hard. I believe them.

Spookybot. They're not just in QC any more.

I won't deny that Google could be a threat to your privacy, although it really doesn't want to be. Facebook and Amazon *are* risks to your privacy, although Amazon takes protecting it seriously. I wish I could confidently say the same about Facebook. But the real risks to your privacy? They're here in meatspace, not out there is cyberspace.

[Strawberrycocoa]

Not sure how much this counts as fanart, but a friend told me she wished the thought bubble of Brun had included the Kiki Bow, and I couldn't resist the urge to draw it in.

[BenRG]

So, you're saying that Brun is a former faunus freedom fighter from the planet Remnant?

[Corvid]

I just wanted to doodle someone with glasses for eyes so here's a quick Faye sketch (plus colour because I got a little carried away)

[Gyrre]

I was thinking of using that doll maker to do up a version of Durian, Kiwi, and Peach (the winners of last week's poll). Since each of the fruit sisters seems to have some sort of quick (physical, behavioral or psychological), does anyone have any suggestions for them?

While logical, Durian smelling bad feels kind of mean to do.

[Gyrre]

Screw it, here are their tentative designs standing next to Melon and Lemon. These designs are super tentative.


From left to right; Melon, Lemon, Durian, Kiwi, Peach

Their hair colors are derived from the main exterior color of the fruit, skin color from the secondary exterior color, and eye color from the interior color of the fruit.

[Carl-E]

Durian seems to be the most put together.


Is that a welding mask on Peach's head?

[Gyrre]

Durian seems to be the most put together.


Is that a welding mask on Peach's head?

It's meant to be a sun visor.
And now she's got a green denim vest thing.

Ja, Durian is still probably the most put together. Peach's skin and hair tones makes getting a cohesive color scheme difficult



EDIT: fixing image link

EDIT 2:
Here's her hexadecimal color codes for anyone willing to help me out:
skin   f36321
hair:  ffa365
eyes: ffd965

[Gyrre]

I did some fiddling with the colors, switched Peach's hair and skin tones, and opted to give Peach a slightly mismatched knee cover. She's also now got a headband instead of a visor. And, Kiwi now has a book.

I think I like Kiwi's original dress color. It just looks softer for some reason. I imagine her as being a bit shy and maybe a little bookish. Whereas Peach is more of a tomboy and probably the closest any of them come to Faye's personality (unless there's a Prickly Pear).




Anyone know why twitter imagine locations don't work?

[Gyrre]

For the hell of it, I added Pineapple, Orange, Damson, and Rosehip.

Pineapple is a linguist.
Orange plays bit parts but is very proud of it.
Damson teaches fencing at a private school.
Rosehip leads a workout class.

[NemesisDancer]

There's a webcomic-themed Runway contest on Gaia Online today so I made Claire:

[BenRG]

Link to a larger/higher-resolution image, please?

[NemesisDancer]

Link to a larger/higher-resolution image, please?

That's the highest resolution, sorry - Gaia avatars are all small pixel graphics like that.


Update: Claire isn't doing too well in the competition D: Entries seem to be around 90% Homestuck, which for some reason I'd forgotten was a webcomic. Haven't seen any other characters I recognise (though, granted, I mostly only read QC, Dumbing of Age, and a couple of small obscure comics on DeviantArt)

[BenRG]

I meant to ask: Did you deliberately do the character in the style of Diney's Recess or is that just the way that app makes characters look?

[Gyrre]

To whom is the question addressed?

GaiaOnline avatars are all in a 3/4 shot whether facing forwards or backwards.
pochi.[I forgot] has all of the characters facing the camera dead on, only allowing rotation from side to side.


EDIT: typo fix. Second 'character' is now 'camera' as originally intended.

[forestball]

I missed Momo, so I made a quick fan art drawing of her.

[Pilchard123]

Hello, artistic new person!

[shanejayell]

Very nice!

[Gyrre]

It's been way since I've drawn anything with anime eyes. I'm not at all satisfied with how her head came out. Especially the hair helmet I settled for.

I might see if I can build this with Lego so I'll have a reference for a better pic. I have most of an idea on how she'd trasform.

EDIT: fixed link
EDIT2 : spoiler tag added because I can't seem to resize the image w/o breaking the link.
EDIT3: resizing img (thanks, Carl-E), removing spoiler tags, and correcting 'anythong' to 'anything'.

[Cornelius]

I think you might have the wrong link, there?

[Carl-E]

Just put "width=(whatever number of pixels you want)" in the "img" tag.  I used (open square bracket)img width=700(close square bracket) for your image in the quote. 

[pwhodges]

The forum software is meant to put in the size limits automatically when required.  I'll have to investigate why this is now failing.

[Carl-E]

...correcting 'anythong' to 'anything'.

Any old thong will do!
