Title: Arthur Art
Post by: Snowth Woogle on October 10, 2012, 11:31:48 am
It's taken quite a while, but Arthur seems to have finally built up something of a decent fanbase on deviantART... but at any rate, here's some of the Arthur-related art I've posted on dA over the years:

I admit, the "DON'T MESS WITH ME!!!" one is a little naughty, but it twas inspired by a hilarious YouTube comment I once read, that I just HAD to do something with it.

Very nice job. For some reason the D.W. and the Nadine one really sticks out to me. Nice job on all of them, and nice references. Although I was wondering, what is the inspiration for the Binky's dream one?

D.W. and Nadine's little moment was one of those that was done on a whim... really no rhyme or reason, just something I felt like drawing, but I think in a sense, it captures a childhood fantasy that kids probably at times wish their imaginary friends were, indeed, real.

As for Binky's dream... I don't know, I just got on a kick on Binky's little banana tirade from "How the Cookie Crumbles"... "I said banana, banana was MY idea, without ME there IS no banana!" I don't know, I guess maybe I thought it would be amusing that Binky goes to sleep at night and dreams of a world where everything is bananas, and he is one with the bananas.

Ah, I see. I now appreciate that one even more now. :)

In the spirit of Halloween and such, I did this quick pic of my little (cyber) sister, and I, dressed up as, who else? Arthur and D.W.

Finally, a logical explanation for D.W.'s behavior.  I always heard aardvarks hit puberty early...

These are great. A bit weird sometimes but weird in a good way. I enjoyed them and if you get more please post them

Thanks Earwig! I really do need to do more Arthur art sometime.

Hahahahahahaha...  :D

Seriously, this is great work.  Now Real Muffy has a real friend in the Land of Strange Delights. 

I know we discussed it at great length, but I completely dropped the ball on 3D Fern.  I did some preliminary shaping, but nothing worth posting yet. 
That, and life's been on the loose lately in the form of deadlines.

Oh yes, they are both enjoying themselves frolicking through the Land of Strange Delights hand to hand.
And it's all good, I'm sure once you have finished any of your deadlines and touched up on whatever needs touching up, 3D fern will look amazing.
I look forward to more of your creations, they are awesome!

You've hit the nail on the head so well with this Fern portrait, I honestly don't think I can match its depraved, craven atmosphere.
For my next model, I think a Jew for the New Year is in high order. 
I've been so deeply inspired by her performance in The Long, Dull Winter that the very thought, which yet is but fantastical, shakes so my single state of man that function is smothered in surmise...
...and nothing is but what is not.

Jarring...God only knows what strange delights are dancing through her diseased psyche...  ;D

I know two of the many things for sure... poems and dental floss, try making a connection there and you just might be even more bewildered.
Title: Re: Arthur Art
Post by: A Lotta Moms on January 05, 2014, 02:46:36 pm
Hmm...I'm guessing there's an invisible thread of dental floss between Evil Fern's thumb and curiously-white and robust teeth?

Funny enough, I actually added some small detail of plague near the top and between some of her teeth for a little more realism, I guess Ferny's using the Floss for the taste and not for it's cleaning purpose.

Woof woof, Fern isn't considerate about other people's interests

Fern isn't considerate of anything.  Even her own appearance. 
But that's why we love her so.  ;)

I've written two books about a group of Arthur fans (I'll talk about them later) and in the prequel, one of the characters tells the other about a daily strip concerning life at a literal dog school (a school for anthropomorphic dogs) Sometimes anthropomorphic dogs from other media cameo, including Arthur!

Fern:

The dates indicate the date of the comic strip, not the date I drew it.

For the 10th anniversary strip, Prunella attends the ceremony:

From a 1927 license plate register (the 'poodle' section)

Wilkins (the greyhound chauffeur of Colette, a poodle and Muffy-esque character - rich but not snotty) meets Bailey:

Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, was outlawed for dogs in real life and in the comic, so now it's a city where only cats live:

Also, hooray for my goof, not only is cyrillic not used in Turkmenistan (anymore) but the "Turkmen" is just Google Translated Turkish written in Cyrillic.
The text below is Estonian - which I learn and the nationality of the character who writes these strips.
