Simpsons-style Soolin

I finally completed the B7 Simpsons set.

My GlArMaCo gallery is here and my NaArMaMo one is here.

Thanks! I can put them all on my site now, when I get the time.

Excellent. Said in my best Mr Burns style

Nice :D

Well done you!

D'oh.

Do you know Blake's 7 at all? I fell for it big time in 2001 when I saw reruns here. I have my other B7 cartoons under the Blakes 7 art tag (http://vilakins.livejournal.com/tag/blake%27s+7+art). I did Molesworth-style ones too, if you know Ronald Searle's illos for that.

Been a fan of it since like 1999 or something silly like that :D

My mate Mark is a big fan of Blake (he's met Gareth Thomas and Paul Darrow! And Jacqueline Pearce I'm sure!)

T'is a brilliant show, and if it weren't for that we'd have no "Firefly" I'm sure :)

Avon surely survived, so bring it back!

:D

I also think it inspired Babylon 5 and Farscape; JMS who wrote most of B5 was a fan and included a few references, and Farscape's about a ship of escaped convicts. :-)

Vila survived too! Terry Nation's stipulation for any sequel (and the book by Tony Attwood) that Blake was dead by Gareth Thomas's wishes, and that Avon and Vila had survived. Michael Keating also swears Vila made it to a safe planet with Kerril and runs a bar!

That's cool :D

Well done, to complete a set is an achievement. To complete a set and have it come out looking good in both settings is even better.

Thank you!

Hee! Perfect! :)

It took me over an hour to draw her and get her right. :-P

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:):):)

You have captured her sultry (or just stoned) expression perfectly:)...

Thank you! :-D It's not always that easy working with the Simmos overbite and yellow skin. :-P

I am so not trying to imagine a Simpsons/ Blake's 7 crossover - mind you let Avon kill 'em all!

I think he'd team up with Burns but really like Lisa for her intelligence, geekiness, and scepticism.

Yeah but could you imagine Servalan and Marge being related? I can!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2006-12-20 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
There was an AU ep where Homer and Marge split up and Homer was happy with the beautiful engineer with similar taste (or lack thereof) at his plant and Marge was President of the US, so yeah. She's smart and tough and deserves so much better than a pet as husband, and you can see the evil side of her family in her sisters.

Hee! She's so cute.

Thanks! You wouldn't believe how rough these drawings start out before I refine them till they look right.
