Jake's Fan-Art thread (IV) -- "moe" [updated (02/24/07)

[Jake]

Time to save bandwidth with a new thread and here's a redone page from the upcoming part 3:

[Reverend Lovejoy]

That's really good!

[dantheman40k]

Its very messy, is it a final design or is it rough draft?

[bluemoose]

That's a lot better than anything that I could do. Not that that's saying much...

Seriously though, those are quite good.

[Archonix]

Its very messy, is it a final design or is it rough draft?

No wonder everyone hates you. At least I try to maintain perspective when I tear jake a new virtual arsehole. :)

Speaking of perspective, I love the last panel. Just thought I'd throw you a bone there jake. I think you deserve it after all thsi time. ;)

[Jake]

Er...I almost forgot I do this for a hobby--Here's another page:

[Kiyosuki]

There's no rush, take your time.

I've seen many of your comics before. Your very bold and risk taking with composition and characters' expressions, which is a great thing. A lot of people find that a difficult hurdle to jump.
Once in a while I find the proportions for Maggie's body shape to be inconsistent. Sometimes they look like a strongly built little girl...sometimes it looks like a small sized man with her head on it. But you've been doing that less and less the more you do this so your definitely improving a lot.

I find your pictures of the future generations...in their actual time very interesting. I'd love to see more on that after this time travel adventure. In the mean time I'll look forward to what you'll post next.

[Jake]

Thanks, Kiyosuki. Here's some more of Gen3:

[lisalover1]

Sweet pics! I see Lovejoy's back, among other people. What will the 3rd part be about? I'm very excited to read! What's with Eric and the trenchcoat and shades? Did I miss something? It seems Jessica Is accusing Eric of something. Did I really miss that much? I read every page of the comic! Anyways, I agree with Archonix, You deserve great respect. :confused:

[Solid Snake]

The usual good stuff I'd expect to see there Jake. I'd lose the glasses on Eric myself. I dont know why, but I think they dont suit him.

[lisalover1]

Sorry, SS. I have to STRONGLY disagree. I think the glasses are fine. They make me wonder even more about what's going on.

In the second panel of the first set, unlike every other panel, Ireally don't have ANY idea what's going on! Cool. :silly:

[Solid Snake]

Just saying what I think. ;) And you plainly did the same. :P

[lisalover1]

I Never said your opinion was bad. But once I see Eric like that, I know the story has taken a complete turn.

He looks like Neo or something, Like Jake did in one of his other fanarts.

[Jake]

The sunglasses are temporary, plus they're a pain to draw. 8-)

[GrandmaBird!!!]

Jake,
I’ve been looking at your work a lot lately – it is so nice. It’s not just the great drawings of The Simpsons world, but it’s also the inventiveness that you inject into The Simpsons world. I like it, it’s great.

[lisalover1]

Yeah. you've got a lot of creativity. If you wanted to make a new character, it just pops right into your head. You, my friend, are a true artist. :headbang :thumbsup

[Reverend Lovejoy]

Sweet pics! I see Lovejoy's back, among other people.

Yay! Jessica's back! :D

Great job, looking forward to part 3!

[lisalover1]

You really ARE a Lovejoy fan. :-O

I still think the glasses are a good thing. You have your opinion, I have mine.

[Lisa's First Word]

Stupid question: Who's Jake Lennington?? Is he an artist?

[Solid Snake]

Jake Lennington is the guy who posted these images, and yes, he drew them, making him an artist.

[Lisa's First Word]

Jake Lennington is the guy who posted these images, and yes, he drew them, making him an artist.

Does he work for Simpsons?

[lisalover1]

No, but I'm surprised that he hasn't gotten an acceptance letter to the cartooning team of the Simpsons, though.

[Jake]

No, but I'm surprised that he hasn't gotten an acceptance letter to the cartooning team of the Simpsons, though.

No, I'm not THAT good! :-/

I might have 10 times the art ability of someone who's drawn a little, but the actual animators have 1,000,000 times my drawing ability.

[lisalover1]

Hmmm... I got one of your pictures printed out, held it up to a simpsons picture, and there were quite a few, but very subtle differneces. And plus, an acceptance letter is not that uncommon. A few fanscript writers were about to get put on the writing team, but they, for some reason, turned down the offer. I wonder why...

[Reverend Lovejoy]

You really ARE a Lovejoy fan. :-O

I still think the glasses are a good thing. You have your opinion, I have mine.

And you are definately a Lisa fan. :D

[lisalover1]

I guess that is a compliment ot the both of us.

[Jake]

Here's the completed sketchy page from the last post:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/sample08.jpg

I don't know who I feel more sorry for: Milhouse or Jessica.

[lisalover1]

So, this is what happened after and including the last page of comics? Well, Eric seems like he's really pissing off Jessica, wich is funny, and she can't come up with anything to say in her defense, so she leaves. I just finished a few full-page fanart pics, fully colored, but I can't show them untill June 11.

[Lisa's First Word]

Jake, you are good at perspective stuffs. Did you graduate art college or something? (Sorry, couldn't pm you, your folder was full)

[lisalover1]

Yeah, I just had a message, but yeah, your box is full. Maybe you could empty it? If you could,that would be great.

[Jake]

Jake, you are good at perspective stuffs. Did you graduate art college or something? (Sorry, couldn't pm you, your folder was full)

No, I learned my perspectives from a book called "Learn to Draw 3D." It's probably the best "how to" art book for learning to draw perspectives and basic backgrounds.

[Lisa's First Word]

If you can buy it from Barnes and Noble, that's sweet news ;)

[Jake]

If you can buy it from Barnes and Noble, that's sweet news ;)

The Correct title is: "Learn to Draw 3-D" by Doug C. DuBosque.

[lisalover1]

The Correct title is: "Learn to Draw 3-D" by Doug C. DuBosque. I never saw it there before... What section is it in? PLEASE, EMPTY YOUR INBOX!!!

[Jake]

I never saw it there before... What section is it in? PLEASE, EMPTY YOUR INBOX!!!

The Art Tutorials section. It's only eight dollars.

[Lisa's First Word]

The Art Tutorials section. It's only eight dollars.

8bucks? Hot ziggety!

Now, back to the business. I don't wanna screw this thread.

[Jake]

Here's a kickoff to Summer--An age 22 Jessica looking hot!

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/jessPose.jpg

(This is PG-13. May not be worksafe for a cartoon.)

[lisalover1]

Whoa! That made my eyes boggle! She IS lookin' hot!

Oh, yeah. About the book, I couldn't find it at B&N. I'll look again, sometime.

[Jake]

Oh, yeah. About the book, I couldn't find it at B&N. I'll look again, sometime.

I might have gone out of print and you might still be able to find it at an art store or even the library.

Here's the cover:

Thank goodness I'm looking at it in my room

[Teesside Inc]

Nice one Jake. :aww:

That's great! :thumbsup

http://www.simps.ru/files/miscells/9F18-Bart-mutant.jpg

*Lisahugger is confused* :-/

[Solid Snake]

Yeah. Bart looks a little more muscular than usual.

[Jake]

Yeah. Bart looks a little more muscular than usual.

I'm trying to get Bart's physique away from Homer's since Bart shouldn't start resembling Homer until he's 30. Anyway, I decided against a beer-bellied Bart because I want him to be a more energetic character, unlike how Homer was in his flashbacks.

However, the real 'roid freak is Milhouse (sorry Future-drama, I had you beat for 2 years). :LOL:

[Stretch Dude]

Practice more. His arm looks more "broken and swollen" than "muscular."

[Zoidbart]

Nice! Those are really good, dude. KBXL FM is an awesome idea, and the Gen3 stuffs are lookin' nice!

[Jake]

Er...try this again:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/newKBXL2.jpg

[Stretch Dude]

Better...though the arm on the girl in the skirt is way too long. The elbow should reach about the bottom of the ribcage.

[Jake]

Gen3 page:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/sample09.jpg

TOP LEFT PANEL.

MAGGIE: Uh...sorry, um to interupt your morning "meeting" at the dinner table, but me and Lisa are going to the park now.

LISA: Maggie, please tell me dad still has his shirt on!

TOP RIGHT PANEL.

BART: Eric, how'd the hell you become the cootie magnet?

ERIC: Um, just a second, Bart. Terri, sweety, I'll be over there in a minute.

BOTTOM LEFT PANEL

ERIC: Anyway, Bart...I don't know, but I can tell you pimpin' aint easy.

[Reverend Lovejoy]

That's brilliant! :) Can't wait for the whole of Gen3!

[Jake]

Well, I've done two pages since the last post and here's a little teaser to a small conflict:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/maggieGina.jpg

[Solid Snake]

Ah. I wonder how it started.

Anyway Jake, I'm sure its temp, but I have a little nitpick about the dialouge, I dont like Eric's last line, it doesnt really seem like something he'd say. However he's your character and you set his personality how you want...

[Jake]

Without giving too much away, he's somewhat warped in part 3.

[Solid Snake]

Ah. I read ya loud and clear. ;)

[Lady_Simpson]

Wow, very realistic.

[Jake]

A little more Maggie and Gina:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/maggieGina2.jpg

[Lisahugger]

The last sketch is surprisingly good ;)
The scene is dynamic, and Maggie looks alright. Love Lisa's expression.

[Alex perez]

Great job, Jake! I love the action involved in these panels. :) I just wished I have the time to make a comic strip like yours here, and is not the first one, but the third. Kudos to you Jake!

Pure awesomeness, and patience. Maybe one of these days..... *sight

[Jake]

Here's the rough sketch of the next color pic:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/earlyBridge.jpg

[Joe Dumbass]

Kick. Ass.

[Hayden]

Hey dude, thanks. Let me say once more you're a really great cartoonist.

[Rider On The Storm]

Wow, awesome work Jake. Great stuff.

[Henrik P]

Sure is. And the details are perfect.

[Jake]

A quick b/w sketch of Eric and hoping to a more artful 2007:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/bwEric.jpg

[42 Is The Answer]

The shading on that is truly excellent.

[Reverend Lovejoy]

I agree. It's so hard to add shading to pictures, but you did it perfectly. Great job!

[Henrik P]

Perfect. Great job Jake. Keep it up.

[Rider On The Storm]

Great job, jake. Incredible shading.

[Dewey Finn]

I've tried that shade a lot before, but I'm avoiding the shadings with thick pencils right now since it gets my hand dirty (I happen to be one of those clean freaks)... I've seen a lot of your shaded works in M&E site. Great job

[Jake]

Here's another sample:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/sample11.jpg

[velocity boy]

WOW!! those are really good 8-)

keep up the good work mate 8-) 8-)

[Jake]

Okay, back with another one:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/gen3group.jpg

[Reverend Lovejoy]

I love that last pic, Jake! :) (Just out of curiousity, is Helen in the next story, too?)

[Jake]

She'll have a line or, two. ;)

[Jake]

Good news! Work on part 3 starts in full swing tomorrow! In the meantime, here's another page.

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/jan1sample.jpg

[Reverend Lovejoy]

Great work, Jake! (mind you, you usually do great work so why am I surprised?) 8-)

[Henrik P]

Jesus Jake, that's perfect.. As always. 8-)

[Jake]

The first non-holdover page of part 3:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/sample12.jpg

[Teesside Inc]

Very nice work. 8-)

[Jens. E]

Really good Jake :)

[Dewey Finn]

Great works, Jake.

What's so great about Jake's work from others (including mine...) is that he draws is very neat without any noticable annoying pencil marks.

If I had any objection on your work, it's that Jessica Lovejoy's eye isn't as really similar to how I remember that I've seen in the Simpsons Comics or the animations of 'Bart's Girlfriend'. Otherwise, it's perfection

[Brad Clarke]

good stuff jake cant wait to see more

[Gatorgod]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y269/gatorgod/GatorIcons/O-K-Gator2.gif Top notch stuff. Always good to see more.

[Rider On The Storm]

Fantastic work, Jake.

[Dim]

Awesome art as usual 8-)

[Jake]

Here's another page:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/sample13.jpg

[Stevie V. Scrivello]

Wow...

Who do we love?
Jake!
How much do we love him?
With all our hearts!
What would we do if he went away?
We'd kill ourselves!

Great job, by the way.

[Nebuchanezzar]

The first non-holdover page of part 3:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/sample12.jpg

I love the eyes on Bart in the upper right picture. Awesome stuff.

[Jake]

First attempt at drawing Moe (I need to find out what that background exactly looks like, though).

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/moeSample.jpg

[Alpha]

Nice drawing. :)

[Jeff]

Wow, real nice.

[Jake]

Another bit of update:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/moeSample2.jpg

[Cutemaggie]

That's so cute Jake I just love your Art do you think you could possibly give me some pointers on drawing please?

[Teesside Inc]

Nicey done Jake. 8-)

[Brad Clarke]

awesome stuff jake

[Jake]

Here's a new sample:

http://nohomers.net/staff/jake/gen3fly.jpg

[Reverend Lovejoy]

Very good, but what's happening to Maggie in the panel on the right?

Nice drawings of Moe, BTW.

[Jake]

Well this sucks...tonight's episode had a parody of the "Lady and the Tramp" and I was going to be in my fan comic with Eric and Jessica...

Oh, fuck it...another parody I wanted to use gone down the crapper. :(

[We're Talkin' Softball]

The Simpsons have done a "Lady and the Tramp" parody before (Six Dozen and One Greyhounds).

[Jake]

The Simpsons have done a "Lady and the Tramp" parody before (Six Dozen and One Greyhounds).

I know...I know, it's just that if I put out a page with the way I have chorographed the scene, people will be on my case about how I must've 'got the idea' from Little Big Girl.

[Chief Simpson]

Jake, I adore your work. It's marvelous! Your ideas, your drawings are some of the best I've ever seen.

I wanted to ask though - would I be copying you if I did the same sort of idea- you know, Simpson's in the future.

If you want me not to do it, that's fine.

Well the "future Simpsons" possiblities are endless, so just because you did make a fan spinoff wouldn't mean you were copying me.
