Ahhh, that makes wonderful sense, in a mathematical sort of way (which is perfect for the show).

As for the D&D characters...would not having them also mean that Clobberella/Captain Yesterday/Super King would also be absent?

Well, I can't see any reason for them to be present. You wouldn't have Bruce Wayne and Batman in the same picture, would you?  :fry

Since three of them are already there (Gynecaladriel, Leegola and Larius) I think that should answer the question. :)

I decided to put them in since they seemed like AU variants of the characters to me, just like all the ones from The Farnsworth Parabox. I realise there's a slight difference when the real characters basically become them, but they seemed different enough to warrant acknowledgement.

EDIT: And here's a bone for you: the next update will have one of the main cast members, since they're already in the current master image that needs a few more characters added before it'll be updated here next.

Fair enough.

For the record, I did see Gynecaladriel, but I couldn't know you were going to draw regular Amy as well, could I?

And good luck continuing with this epic picture!

Hey Shockwave... Kenneth... man.
Your Futurama Cast Picture is the coolest piece of fan art I've ever seen. It is also, without question, the most labor intensive.
I see you haven't updated this thread in several months. I'm guessing you may have gotten tired of putting so much time and effort into the massive project. Or maybe you've just been busy with other things. Probably a little of both.

If there's any hope that you might continue with the project, if given the proper encouragement, let me say that I for one have gotten endless hours of pleasure from your work. It's in regular rotation as my desktop picture, and every time I look at it I laugh about something else. Today I was in tears looking at the Pirate Captain. He's got stair-stepped shoulders to provide perches for a half dozen parrots. He is a pirate after all. I was thinking he was a robot designed to be a pirate, (which is funny enough), but actually I don't think he is a robot. Which means he must have his jackets tailored to provide the comfy ledges for his beloved birds. (I'm laughing again now).

From the high quality of the illustrations, it looks like you are actually creating each character individually in Illustrator, or some other vector drawing program. If that's the case... WOW! You must have some serious carpal tunnel syndrome by now. And the characters are absolutely perfect. Regardless of how you're creating the characters, it's an impressive feat and my hat's off to you.

At any rate, thank you for the hours you've put into The Futurama Cast Picture, and if you do continue working on it, I'll be all over it like the Pirate Captain after swag.
