Description
I decided to do some "respectable" Meet the Robinsons fanart. The list of rules I established before starting this picture:1. Canon fan-art. No fancharacters. No aging. No "Barely Legal" Wilbur. *sigh*
2. No Sexy (except for that which comes naturally.) No smirking, come-hither eyes on Wilbur. I'M NOT SURE I'VE EVER DRAWN HIM WITHOUT COME-HITHER EYES.
3. HAND COLOR. By god, I'm sick and tired of being out of practice with markers.
4. Absolutely no fixes in photoshop. Except to tweak that really shitty line of desaturation my scanner likes to leave down the center of all my drawings, and to punch up the contrast a little, since it always scans kind of greyish.
This is what I got. The usual: micron pens, prismacolor markers and white guache. I never was very good at blending blues. I'm going to blame it on my dwindling marker collection.
I used to hate Carl, but after watching the deleted scenes on the DVD, I just feel sorry for him. (Also he's easy to draw and fun to color.)

ENID WHAT COME ON. I was like "Oh man I drew MtR fanart that could not possibly be misconstrued as raunchy go me!" AND THERE YOU GO PROVING ME WRONG.
I'd say your brain is further in the gutter than mine but I'm not sure that's at all possible. D:

I...DON'T KNOW. It was going to be a map or a blue print or something but then I got lazy and thought "lazy design framing for the win" so I thought it would look like the paper or something I DON'T KNOW. D:

I hated Carl when I first saw the movie in theaters. Then for some reason when the DVD came out I ended up liking him. Perhaps it was that deleted scene. Or maybe it was because my dear friend zetsumei-kusabana and I were going through our Meet the Robinsons obsession period...
Stepping away from me and my odd thoughts on the character Carl, I find this pic matching the characters accurately and it makes me giggle! I love it!

That seriously just rocks my face. ;O;
And you made Carl look like D8
You get an award for being so awesome. ;w;~!

Oh! I love the way you color, Jill. :) It;s so pretty! Haha! I wish I was patient enough for markers. I barely have the patience for colored pencils.
I love your expressions, too. :) great job. XD

Markers are WAY easier than colored pencils, imo. Oh man, I haven't used colored pencils in ages, my hand hurts just thinking about it. XD

Yes, I have B.E.N. in my avatar. I especially love B.E.N. He's my first favorite robot.
Yeah... I noticed at You said? Oh, yes. I know at I think in B.E.N. X Carl in Robots are yaoi.
I'm not a yaoi fan....

I didn't say B.E.N./Carl. I said it's more like they're related. Never mind.

*snerk* I love that Carl's expression just screams "Wilbur...you know I hate you, right? You're gonna get me in SO much trouble, I KNOW it!"
And I don't think Wilbur would have it any other way! XD There's a reason that Carl has been reffered to at the "Royal assigned friend" to"The Bratty Prince of the Robinson Empire" far more than once among me and my friends...

(Gasps) you...hate...Carl? But I love Carl. He's Animation.
Please, don't say "I hate Carl."

I said I USED to hate Carl. I rather like him now.
And I'm amused that you have B.E.N. in your avatar. I always said Carl reminded me of some kind of unholy robot love-child of B.E.N. and Larry from Time Squad. XD

Wow, really great job, and I love your rule set. But hey, anytime your drawing Wilbur is awesome time in my opinion
This could totally be official 'Meet the Robinsons' art
And just a quick question on markers, are you using any particular brand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Prismacolors. I've dabbled with Chartpaks before, but I prefer Prismas.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome, I'm looking at investing in some at the moment (at the very least, a flesh coloured marker) and the big debate seems to be between copics and prismacolors.
My most trusted sources though, seem to be suggesting that prismacolors are the better choice, so thankyou
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
heh, cool... and what's wrong with canon? nobody ever seems to do canon fan-art, which makes rule #1 hilariously refreshing
oh, and speaking of fan-art... this makes me laugh every time I see it

No come hither eyes? *gasp* Blasphemy!
That really is a strictly canon Wilbur, so good job with that. He looks good. Really good. Really really good.

I love the "Well, looks who's hiding in the closet" one. You did really well for having a dwindling marker collection. I'm thinking of starting a marker collection, if only they weren't 4$ each.

If you can find an art store-- a REAL one, not Michael's-- you can usually get a better deal. Utrecht typically sells them for about $2.79 a pop, and when they go on sale (which they seem to be right now) they're closer to $2 each.
To be fair, I've been collecting and using markers for many years now, so I still have a pretty good variety. But some of my frequently used flesh tones and grays are starting to dry up. D:

WHAT WHY DO I KEEP FORGETTING YOU LIVE LIKE SUPER CLOSE? DX I usually go to the one in Royal Oak. I never go to the one in Detroit unless I happen to be in the area. Which...I never am. Though I probably should, cus I guess the DIA is done with renovations (FINALLY!) and the Utrecht is right across the street from the DIA. There's also a DuAll on John R in Madison Heights, but I prefer Utrecht.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
snazzy. Yeah, I've heard the DIA looks really nice now, but I haven't been either.well, I saw the outside and the Rodin sculpture when i was checking out CCS, but I didn't have time to stop in

Aw...this makes me want to dust off my prismas. Also, I never watched the deleted scenes...maybe I should.

Adorable! Both their expressions are perfect! And I can't believe you colored that with markers! That's awesome!
