Description
For biggest version, download.Normally I avoid doing anything remotely resembling work on Christmas short of basic help outs cleaning and dealing with emergencies should they arrive, but I didn't practice drawing on Christmas Eve, so I had to today. This image of Leela from Futurama is the festive (well, sorta) result.
I've wanted to draw Leela for a while, but that huge eye is intimidating. I think she turned out OK considering it was me drawing her.
I'm aware that her hair looks fairly different from the show, but the show cheats it like crazy to make her look better. It effectively IS parted on both sides on the show, switching sides depending on where she's facing. I'm not complaining, but that leaves her bangs wide open to interpretation when drawn in other styles.
So, anyway, enough babble. It's Christmas, and it's LEELA! YAY!
Leela is copyright FOX; drawing by ME!

I'm surprised my friend Dani hasn't commented on this image yet. SHe's a major fan of Futurama, and especially Leela (I'll leave it to her to tell you on of her Screennames).

I had a feeling you could draw a good Leela. You didn't disappoint.

Perhaps it is in fact a conscious decision by Leela herself to downplay her big eye....
(or that's what the writers/artists tell themselves)
I like the part! It's new and nifty

"I think she turned out OK considering it was me drawing her"
Are you kidding? you do have a very nice (and recognizable) style. (and you're right about the she turned out OK part)
Good drawing ^^

Nice rendition. I don't actually watch much Futurama, but this is one A-OK pic.

I've always loved Leela ^^ Easily one of my favourite characters in the entire series. And she looks great

Fantastic work. In fact, even in the audio comentaries they mention they would try to avoid drawing her from that angle, simply because it's really hard to do.
Now, maybe one day, I can get around to drawing my favorite crustation with an MD.

I know she has been done in the EGS/your style...but it just doesn't feel right in my mind.
Saying that, you did a good job.

Leela is one of my favorates from Futuroma. I hope do one of Amy and the lady with a fetish for Dirty boy Fry. I forgot her name but she was funny.

Truly. After years of watching Sarah Jane Smith screaming her way through any given episode, Leela was a marvelous breath of fresh air!

Yeah, it was nice to finally see someone who instead went on the offensive - even when there was no reason to :-D
Made for some good quotes and expressions from the good Doctor.

...I need to go watch Dr. Who now... lol
*wanders off doing the "Bada ba bum bada ba bum" intro a little too enthusiastically*
Oh, and because I realized I never actually commented on the image before, I like the Leela you drew, Dan, even if it's not Dr. Who related ^_^;;

Copyright of FOX? I thought it was Comedy Central since Fox cancelled them and there coming back on CC.
Any ways, cool picture. I like the guns design.

Oh, and the gun design is just based off of existing images of Leela, so I can't take credit for it's ring-ee goodness.

It's still being made by Fox, but things really do get confusing. For example, My Name is Earl, which airs on NBC, is ALSO made by Fox, but House, which airs on Fox, is made by NBC. I know that sounds nutty, but it's true. It blew my mind when I first found out.
