Fandom/Universe: Strangetown, Here We Come
Character(s): Johnny, Ripp, Tank, Buck






Ignore Tank's fugged up face (that always happens). Also Buck's bod is way tilty.

I basically drew this one just to play around with male anatomy because I suck at it. Like, I can make my girls all different shapes and sizes, but my dudes tend to come out sort of similar or get stuck in three main body types and I want to get past that.





Um in this picture, it's supposed to be Ripp's body at the upper left. And Tank's the other headless dude in the upper middle area. The rest of the boys are Johnny, plus that little Ripp at the bottom middle. And then there are two Ophelias to the far right.




a/n:I saved it! *Dances*

It's not exactly where I left off (boooooo), but it's closeish! I'm still missing some flat colors and all the shading I did to Franny is gone, but I'm just so happy that it EXISTS!

To celebrate I bring you: Naked Strangetown Boys that are anatomically correct! (... for sims that is) And some bonus sketches of Johnny (with cameos from Ripp, Phi and Tank's sexy bod).

YAYYYYY! The epic pic is not lost! I CANNOT WAIT!

OH MY. *fans self* Tank is looking delicious, as always- if his face weren't so... odd, I would have SAVED HIM AND KEPT HIM ON MY DESKTOP TO GAZE AT.

I like how Ripp is in shape but out of it at the same time. (IDC, I'd hit it. If he were real.)

AWW, and poor Buck. *pets* He should exercise though. :|

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad I managed to salvage it. It's also now on a thumb drive too so hopefully this will never happen again ever. D:

Lol, I'll try and pretty Tank up one day. I wasn't worrying about faces in those as much as I was just focusing on the bods. Plus Tank's face just never works the way it should. *whines*

Hee, I love that about Ripp too! He could be totally ripped, but isn't yet still manages to retain some of that build because of genetics.

I love Buck's flubbyness. I'm actually not sure if he's heavy enough. Like, I don't think Buck's THAT overweight, but I feel like it should be more noticeable than it is here.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Poor Tank gets the short end of the stick. And he's the hottest of the guys too!

Yeah, he's too lazy to work out, but is somehow still deliciously hot.

Buck should be a bit heavier, but it's okay. He's adorable.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Haha, I don't actually find Tank all that attractive - neither in his face or in his imaginary body type. Too buff, too manly. I like guys that are sort of flabby. Or are like Johnny where you don't really notice the power he has in the everyday, but it's there.

<3 Ripp!

If Buck wasn't... Buck he's probably be the one I'd be the most physically attracted to. Well, maybe Ripp too. But yeah, I just can't think of Buck as an adult.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I think Tank is really hot, in a more classical way. I like all the Grunts. *snicker* Oh really, you say...

I agree about Buck, though. He's more "cute" than "sexy." Well, Jill would disagree...

I base parts of their characters on guys I've known, and each of the Grunts has at least some influence from a guy I was romantically involved with at one point or another. Beau too. But not Johnny. He's mostly based on my BFF, who's a hero in my books. (Johnny can't hold a candle to his vulgarity, though. Hoboy.)

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

:O

Tank is very attractive, in my mind. He has that handsome, rugged face, and those chiseled abs, and body hair... mmm...

LOL, Poor Buck! I'm definitely most attracted to Tank. Ripp is too fresh for me, and Buck is... like you said, a little kid.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I like how Ripp is in shape but out of it at the same time.

That's how I envision him, for sure. He's got a good natural build, but he has a bit of a paunch developing too. Or I guess he would want to call them ~love~ handles. XD

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I remember you mentioned it. LOL Paunch. Yeah, he does drink a lot and doesn't do much to get fit.

Ri-Ripp has LOVE HANDLES?! D: I thought he was a bit fitter. (Not that I have anything against love handles, but I never thought he had them. THIS SADDENS ME.)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Nah, I don't think he's quite that far gone, but he has a soft layer of flesh over everything. Like, you can probably feel abs under there, but he has some padding.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that makes more sense. *wipes forehead*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I'm glad. ^_^ Now please make a backup copy. I want to see it, you know.

So many scantily clad mens. *swoon* Oh wait... not clad at all, are they? I see they have the classic sim "lump where the penis shoot be." Poor boys.

I like your take on their figures, and level of hairiness. That's pretty much how I see them too.

The Boys are Back... in town? That's the BEST SONG EVER. :D

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

It's definitely backed up now. I'm not losing it again.

Haha, I'd feel weird giving them penises. I'd feel like I'd overstepped their boundaries or something. In fact I don't think I've ever drawn a penis in my life (besides like stupid haha ones). Our male figure drawing model last year wore a thong. The lady was in the raw though.

Johnny's hairlessness makes him look like a frog!

Lol!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Good. ^_^

Heheh. I've actually spent WAY too much time "character developing" their penises. It's like any of the other body parts, I guess, and for guys, it's a pretty significant thing, so how can I not think about it? (And it's funny too.)

Okay, okay... really I spent way too much time talking about dicks, but I can't help it if people keep bringing it up! :O

Yeah, the aliens have a very froggy/reptile thing going on. I like it. They have to be different somehow. I see the 1/4 alien sims as being somewhat likely to have facial hair and such, but the 1/2 aliens are always pretty hairless in my mind.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!! I don't usually put much thought into it, because I never draw them and probably because I don't have one maybe. Plus I'm waiting for your big reveal of penis sizes. I want to be ~surprised~.

What else can you tell me about dicks? *smirks*

Agree on the alien hair stuff. I like that the aliens are hairless - it sets them apart even more. And it just suits Johnny.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I have another grab bag of dick gags for the Frances chapter. It's pretty silly, but I find it amusing. Beau brings the silliness like nobody's business, and I love him for it.

LOL - WAY TOO MUCH. D: Just kidding... I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't know the exact measurements of all my guy friends. >_> Yes, right down to the eighth of an inch. WHY?!

Yeah, it works well with his sporty thing. And also his manicured brows, etc. And you just know that Ripp is all fascinated by it too, coming from a long line of hairy military dickheads.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. Well, you're free to interpret them however you like. :) That's just my take on it. Maxis is pretty cute with his goatee.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

Now even penises have character development now! I love how you think of even of the little things like that in such detail. o_O

Oh, and Maxis Curious finds this comment to be very offensive!

(I actually agree about the alien hair thing. He's just an oddball, and likes to show it off. :P)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It's a curse. Why must I think about these things? D:

It's funny, though. :P And I hope to take advantage of the funny.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I see their skin feeling different than ours too. Maybe you've already mentioned that at some point, but I see it as feeling more... idk... oily or slick. Like a frog's I suppose. :D And their fingers and toes being longer... stuff like that.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Oh weird. But kind of cool. I do think it might feel different, but I dunno how I'd describe it. Like, I don't imagine it being TOO noticeable, but it's definitely a difference. They're smoother.

I like the fingers and toes thing too! I always figured Johnny'd have really long, feminine hands, while Ripp's would be all squared and defined and then Phi would have small hands and fingers that were slender and delicate looking.

[muslemura.livejournal.com]

*sigh of release*

So glad you didn't lose the pic :) And yay for nekkid Strangetown guys :D They pretty much look exactly like I picture them in the story. I guess that means you and Strange have been doing a good job on both the description and the interpretation :D IRL I'm a Johnny-body fan girl too - big muscles never did anything for me. Lean and lanky on the other hand :}

Also, reading these comments makes me possibly even more exited about the next chapter - wee! I like anticipating good things :P

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad too! Biggest scare of my life that was!

Woooohooo! Naked boys! I think they came out pretty well. I'm getting better at differing body types in guys I think. I actually managed to pull of Tank and I didn't think I would be able to.

Like I said, Johnny might be too skinny for me IRL, but I still think he's gorgeous.

INORITE? Strange always gets me so pumped to read more!

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I love all of them! I love how you've made Johnny so wiry and Phi so round and sassy! :D And I love how Tank is so buff and Ripp is in-shape-without-really-trying sort of thing (like my hubby.)

Love how in the color sketch they're all mostly in the basic anatomical position except for Johnny. He's all like WTF??? Hee hee hee hee hee hee. :D

Wonderful job on these!

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

<333333. I'm glad you like them! And I'm pleased that I was able to pull of the various masculine body types, because it is something that I really don't draw that much (if I'm bored or just doodling I tend to default to girls, because I find them more appealing to draw).

Lol, Johnny likes to stand out. Even in something simple like this!

Also, I looooooove drawing Phi. She's my favorite female body type!
