Hi all.

I mentioned in chat a few days ago that I was beginning to work on a Futurama cast picture, somewhat like that large 360-odd character poster of The Simpsons cast from the first 8 and a half seasons. Since it's a huge project that will probably take a while (probably more than a year in fact) I thought rather than just release it when it's done, I could post the progress over time for all to see how it's shaping up. I'll try to update each week, assuming there's a decent amount of characters added that is. Anyway, here's how things are so far 

[Wilde Gray Yonder]

Seymour! Hedonism-bot! Hermes! And A Cast Of Thousands!

Excellent (and extremely random) cast so far. I'm particularly happy to see Angleyne and the Were-Car, for some reason.

Very on-model. If I have a nitpick, it's that Seymour's ears are quite small. Looking at framegrabs from the episode, they should reach a bit further down the sides of his head. That aside, good luck with the project! It's going to be pretty awesome.

yey it's santa claws
anyway, this is superb! It's a great idea, makes me wonder why there hasn't been one done before ( or not as I know)
Keep up the good work there, would be wonderful to see a finished result

Great work so far. Don't forget to add Blinky, he actually did appear in one episode.

That's incredible, Shockwave! Best of luck with this project! I hope you won't lose interest in this gargantuan Futurama quest until it's finished.

Firstly, thanks to all for the kind words of encouragement.

Secondly, I've updated the file with the following additions:

• Universe A Professor Farnsworth
• Matt Groening's Head
• The Windy Shrimp
• Craterface
• Robot 1-X
• Fishy Joe
• The Soda Machine Robot

[Wilde Gray Yonder]

Very nice! I liked Craterface, because any show that does a "De la Terre à la Lune" parody is something special. And Robot 1-X, as you well know, just happens to be one of my favourite one-time characters.

Technically still good, but if I can make a constructive comment, I think 1-X should be floating above "ground level". He did that on the show most of the time anyway, and besides, that might fill up a bit of the blank space over the Were-Car.

EDIT: But then, there'll be more layers anyway, so I should have thought about that.

[Kiyosuki]

Thats going to be a lot of work. That could make for a fantastic wallpaper or something of the like.

Take your time, its a lot of characters but it should be fun. I'm surprised no one's done this yet.

[Shockwave]

Updated the file again this week with the following change...

• Moved Robot 1-X to a better position, hovering higher up instead of being rather low to the "ground" (as Chris suggested).

And the following characters have been added...

• The Troubled Badger (in Robot 1-X's old spot)
• The Grand Midwife
• Betsy the Buggalo
• The President of the Network
• Human Friend
• C3P0
• The Basketball Court Owner (from "Time Keeps on Slippin'")
• Fox Technician (from "When Aliens Attack")
• Robot Elder #5
• Doug the Demon-bot
• Lrrr

Getting big now. Hm, I'll have to see about that upgrade.

you realise you'll have to add a bunch of new characters as the new series starts to be broadcast, don't you? (assuming it gets broadcast... who knows?)

Getting big now. Hm, I'll have to see about that upgrade.

Well, when it gets too big, I'll either reduce its size for the updates, zip it, or host it at FM:TLZ.

Yeah. I'll probably still be adding the original ones by the time that comes along though anyway 

[Wilde Gray Yonder]

It's the President of the Network! Kill him! Pull the plug on him!

This is starting to look, if you pardon the gushing, totally awesome. And thanks for heeding my suggestion about Robot 1-X.
