ART

Fandom/Universe: Strangetown, Here We Come
Character(s): Frances






He is so pretty! Look how fluffy his hair looks and he is so sad-faced. His pose is also crazy cool, but I can't show you the whole thing just yet. *fawns*

If you guys wanna help me, I'm in need of references for simoleons. They show up on the money tree thing right? Obviously I can do this myself, but I am LAZY and creating my own references is not fun. Plus my graphics are just so-so. So uh, if you wanna take some in game pics of your Simmies well earned Simoleons I will not say no to it.




a/n: Most of my school projects are finally finished and so I spent some time today fiddling around with my epic pic. We've now got everyone, but Tank all inked up nice and pretty and the background is pretty nice. Laid down some flat colors too. Hurray progress!

Tank refuses to let me draw him. It's the worst. D:

I love him. He's so tortured and beautiful. ^_^

And here's a pretty crappy simoleon reference:



I'll go and retrieve a better one now. I have the game running.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Frances is so much fun to draw. He's like Johnny - he just always comes out the way I want him too. Whereas the others tend to put up more of a fight...especially Tank. *pouts*

Lol I really am beginning to adore Beau. I love that your off hand simoleon ref is accompanied by the money-loving Beau. It's so appropriate.

Also I think the new eyes you got really suit your sims - they have a lot of life to 'em and they really add to the cartoony look, which I adore.

And take your time on the ref, I doubt I'll get far enough to even use it for at least another weekish. I don't wanna start coloring the kids until I get Tank in there. :\

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Aww, he looks precious! And his hair! *pets*

You're getting me crazy excited for the pic now!

Lemme check to see if I have some Simoleon pics...

I have none. ;___;

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

His hair is the biggest bitch to do, but I always love the results.

I'm super excited for it too. I just wish that I could speed up the process, but I want to make it super nice, so I'm taking my time and going bit by bit.

And don't worry about it BB, I shall get refs one way or another. :3

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Here you go...

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

WEEEEEE! You are the best Strange! :3

And omgosh so many trees! Beau would be shitting bricks right about now if he were there. Also Tank skulking about in the background is awesome, especially how he seems to just totally ignore the llama mascot.

Did I mention how much I love the new eyes? yeah i know i did but i mean it really they are awesome

Oh and Beau's cash register simoleons seem to be different from Franny's money tree simoleons. My mind is boggled! I'll use the Franny tree ones, because they are so plentiful and you took the time to get them for me and because I like 'em.

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

Did you... draw Arnold and Helga as teens?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're right! They are different.

The money tree bills are better because they have the simoleon symbol instead of "Sims 2" written on them in something that is obviously not Simlish. WTF Maxis? Someone wasn't on quality control when they did OFB.

And no problem! :D I'm excited to see this drawing.

I'm so loving the new eyes. Phobia is awesome. They look soo good on these guys.

I knew I was forgetting something... man, I need to summon Beau in to join the money party now.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, lotsa times. I draw Helga and Arnold all the time. Helga most especially as she is basically me (only angrier).

I think that's all the HA! art I've ever posted online or it should be.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

I agree, the money tree ones are better. What's weird is that the OFB ones seem exactly the same, except for the side with 'Sims2' on it. I don't know why they would change it. :\

It shall be done! In time! I'm slow!

I agree, the are gorgeous and every time I see a new character with those eyes my heart gets all fluttery. They are so pretty.

Lol, I imagine Beau's fantasy would be a bathtub filled with money and Frances. Although I can't imagine Frances ever agreeing to that. Money is pretty disgusting. Maybe if they were all completely new......

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heeheehee. :D (I posted a new comment to avoid formatting weirdness.) Beau came over to help with the gardening.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA OMG THAT SECOND PICTURE!!!! THEIR FACES!!!! AND TANK TOTALLY IGNORING THE SHIT OUT OF THEIR GREEDY LITTLE FACES!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDDD

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

MONEY FIGHT! :D

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

MONEY PARTY! :D

(ps plz respect tank's needs boys)

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

pps it's a naked money party

ppps ignore the fug that is beau and the failure that is this half-assed male anatomy

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

XD Tank has accepted the naked gayness and the Dionysian harvesting of money, but the noise level is just unacceptable.

Frances seems to be reaching for the real money. ;)

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

LOL OMG THAT PICTURE IS SO DELICIOUS LOL WIN AT BEAU'S FACE! xDDDDD

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

This picture is so fresh, but I LOVE it. LOL Frances is getting awfully fresh there...

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Are there any other kinds? :D

Beau doesn't look too bad. He should be skinnier, though, I think.

Now I want to see more Beau and Frances drawings. I'm working on some stuff for their chapter now. (Well, Tank is there too, but it's mostly the story of how Beau just sails in and takes over.)

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. Awesome. :P I love how Frances is covering up Beau's bits with a handful of money. :D

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about? Tank has always been the most accepting person in the world. He sees nothing wrong besides the noise level being just a little too high for a studying environment.

Lol, maybe.... XD

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Fresh? No, Frances is just being a dear friend and helping pluck a handful of money off of that darling money tree. XD

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Frances is just trying to be a good citizen - their could be children watching after all!

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

No. There aren't.

If/When I draw him for reals I shall keep that in mind. I was totally half-assing this tho. Five minute sketch FTW!

I actually DID draw a Beau, but I CAN'T FIND IT. And it's not like it could have gone far, because I'm almost positive I drew it at my desk and everything I draw at my desk pretty much stays there because I'm too lazy to find a spot for it.

I CANNOT WAIT!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I have so many good little things for that chapter, including the biggest OTT wedding for Malcolm and Charlotte. I've been decorating the venue. I even have an ICE SCULPTURE. :D

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

OMGOSH WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS TO ME WHEN IS THIS NEXT CHAPTER GOING TO BE OUT IS IT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I NEED TO READ IT. D:

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

OMG LMAO I LOVE YOU!

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

He looks so beautiful!

*pets his hair*

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

SO DO I! If it is filled with scenes like the banana story it just might be the best chapter ever! XD

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It has several scenes where Tank sees things he wishes his eyes could erase. XD

BUT THEY CAN'T.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

I know! Franny pants is the prettiest!

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Lol I love me too. *snugs self*

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

You are making me ansy woman! HURRY UP ALREADY GAWD. >:(

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, the good news is I'm getting into it, where before I was just a bit overwhelmed by the scope of the thing. I'd like to get at least one part of that chapter out before Xmas.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Haha, I'm cool with waiting - your updates are always worth it. But damn, this all sounds exciting. I've been super excited for that wedding for like... ever. I want to know who ruins it!

[muslemura.livejournal.com]

This is the best reply thread EVER :D

Love your drawing of Frances - looks like it will indeed be an EPIC pic and well worth the wait :) Looking forward to see it (and the story, of course).

[thinveneer.livejournal.com]

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

<333

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

LOL INORITE?

I'm so ready to get it done! And I'm also excited for the next part of SHWC. Strange has got me all riled up!

[muslemura.livejournal.com]

Yup! The pics, the drawing, the comments - all quite lolworthy :P

Me too, but then again, that's not difficult - the updates are always worth it :)
