*reposts*

As I was saying, we were discussing airborne OFF members in chat and thought Homer would make a good hot-air balloon. (It's not really finished, but I'm afraid I can't do much more due to a dying computer). With any luck, here he is:

It's funny.  It's beautiful.  It's not Lisa.

I love it!

It's [Principal?] Bigbutt!

Everything Terry said. I find no faults with this picture. Homer's scarily tapering arms and legs are a bit, well, scary, but I can't see how to do it otherwise.

Things I particularly like are the wonderfully tangible stitches, the colouring of course, and the pink novelty straw. Homer is very on-model for a balloon. The sky is simple but excellent: I can see brushstrokes in it.

Another stunning piece from Beb.

EDIT: And I forgot to mention Homer's floating hairs.

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree.
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see, the voices that control me
From inside my head say I shouldn't kill you yet.

Well, I'll be darned if that's not one of the funnest, more interesting pieces I've seen here. Seriously, it's impressive and lighthearted at the same time. I don't know if that's what you mean by its "unfinishedness", but I like the overall emptiness of the sky, which makes the pic look like that "serious art" I've seen in other places. That's just neat. Surrealistic and funny.

Awesome work Beb. Smiley

I love everything about it, including the tones of the sky.  It's absolutely perfect for this pic.

<Blomman> who was it that got married here?

<Alexander> I mean... Graham and Chris.
<Blomman> really?
<Alexander> Yes.
<Blomman> not that i'm against that kind of thing, but isn't that like, uh, illegal in some states?
<Alexander> I could explain, but I don't want to. Cheesy

<Alexander> I've been fleshing out Mara's character, right?  Giving her depth?   In the meantime, what's happening to *me*?
<gkscotty> obviously she's siphoning off your "reality"

Hahaha, nice one Cheesy
Besides being funny, it's acturaly one of the most original pieces of fanart I've seen and is really drawn beautifully.

I love how you've used nice warm tones in the colouring, gives it a dreamy look and feel to it.

Great job Smiley

This is hilarious. Brilliant picture, Beb Smiley
Aww to the dying computer though...

P.S. How about updating your SR gallery with the pic once it's finished? Wink I know several people who will be happy about that...

Thanks, guys, you cheer me up.  Smiley

As far as finishing goes: I mainly needed to tidy up the edges a bit more. The beer cans are supposed to be Duff Lite but it's hard to see, so I'll fix that too sometime. Thanks again.

Homer: Marge? Since I'm not talking to Lisa, would you please ask her to pass me the syrup?
Marge: Dear, please pass your father the syrup, Lisa.
Lisa: Bart, tell Dad I will only pass the syrup if it won't be used on any meat product.
Bart: You dunkin' your sausages in that syrup homeboy?
Homer: Marge, tell Bart I just want to drink a nice glass of syrup like I do every morning.
Marge: Tell him yourself, you're ignoring Lisa, not Bart.
Homer: Bart, thank your mother for pointing that out.
Marge: Homer, you're not not-talking to me and secondly I heard what you said.
Homer: Lisa, tell your mother to get off my case.
Bart: Uhhh, dad, Lisa's the one you're not talking to.
Homer: Bart, go to your room.
