Title: Old stuff added (with a new thing as well!) Post by: leamur on February 05, 2006, 11:12:18 pm (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/BSPCcopy.jpg)
Can anyone in the know shine some light on the British Pizza Cats? I know theres the pic of them on Pincess Vi's site, but does any other stuff exist? I've had a go msyelf I just wandered whether there was already stuff out there before delving any deeper. Title: Re: The British Pizza Cats. Post by: Violet on February 06, 2006, 04:48:08 am There's just that one picture, which is from the "Secret of Pizza Cat" book.
Title: Re: The British Pizza Cats. Post by: leamur on February 06, 2006, 05:39:33 am Oh boo...looks like I'll have to get creative then. Thanks Violet.
Title: Re: The British Pizza Cats. Post by: D-Mac on February 06, 2006, 05:53:56 am Yeah, in terms of reference, you're not gonna get much more than that, other than a colored version of the very same manga picture on DeviantArt, if you haven't seen it already.
http://www.deviantart.com/view/4698319/ Title: Re: The British Pizza Cats. Post by: Puutarou on February 06, 2006, 10:03:51 am I remember that pic! Those British Ninjas look so kicka$$! Especially the female one, whose civilian identity appars to be... a catholic nun!? (I find it hard to imagine a nun would wear something like THAT though)
Any thoughts on what their names could be? I think Speedy's equivalent should be named Arthur! Guido's could be Charlie. Polly's... ummm, Sister Mary? :D Yeah, in terms of reference, you're not gonna get much more than that, other than a colored version of the very same manga picture on DeviantArt, if you haven't seen it already. http://www.deviantart.com/view/4698319/ Ah, but their color schemes shouldn't match those of the Little Tokyo Pizza Cats! Title: Re: The British Pizza Cats. Post by: leamur on February 06, 2006, 10:23:16 am Thanks D-Mac but I've already seen that one. Actually it was the one that inspired me to have a go at them.
Hadn't thought of any names yet Puutaro-kun, but I'll defiantely consider them. Funny I never thought 'nun' for the female character in the background, I just thought it Victorian lower working class....made sense looking at the other two and that was the same period as Edo japan. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/BSPC2.jpg) Just playing around with some ideas. I thought as the New York Pizza Cats had armour then the UK ones should to. As to the colours I may keep the Red, White, Blue as its the same as the Union Jack. All their visors can be moved down. EDIT: Some rough ideas; (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/BPC-ideas.jpg) The BPC's names are pending...still! So I'll use the SPC names for reference. Basically 'Guido' was recruited from Special Branch (a young, swauve inspector who was completely hopeless at anything but impressing the ladies), 'Speedy' was a member of the Coldstream Guards and 'Polly' was simply a punk (with a private education from a top public school) arrested during the Mayday Riots. I thought that the BPC would sell pizzas opposite a chip shop run by 'Wally' (sticking with the fish theme from KNT/SPC) and his sister 'Lucille', who helps him. She's no push over and the only girl to turn 'Guido' down but he works his magic in the end. The one under the BPC is 'Francine' an MI5 agent who takes her orders from 'Al Dente' (not the top dog of the MI5 though) to the left of her. Only 'Speedy' and 'Guido' know her true identity in the beginning as 'Polly' is quite a little anarchist to start with, so 'Francine' was put in as an unkown so as to get her to work with the others. The one in the bottom left is an attempt at converting 'Freeda' or 'Vi' into the Queen and 'Fred' would be Prince Philip (they have the same personality...I know I've met him!). Title: Re: BPC group sketch added. Post by: D-Mac on February 25, 2006, 07:06:29 am Fun to look at these sketches, as always. I love that funky expression 'Speedy' has. ;)
Heh heh, and it looks as though you gave 'Guido' a bit of a haircut! His hair from the manga picture gave me a sort of 1970s vibe. =] Oh and just in case you weren't aware, you are permitted to make a new post everytime you update this thread, instead of just editing your last post weeks later. Otherwise, most people probably won't notice the updates that you make here. Title: Re: BPC group sketch added. Post by: leamur on February 25, 2006, 11:44:22 am Thanks D-Mac. I thought of updating 'Guido's' style a bit so his hair has suffered (need to find a referece!).

Quick doodles of Polly Title: Re: A few quick doodles of Polly Post by: leamur on March 04, 2006, 11:58:33 am (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/fart.jpg)
I just couldn't help myself :D Pic from KNT manga. Title: Re: KNT joke Post by: KyoZaber on March 05, 2006, 07:07:43 am Sometimes it's best not to help yourself. :D
Title: Re: KNT joke Post by: leamur on March 05, 2006, 07:57:48 am By lack of reaction prehaps not.
I apologise for my transgressions everybody. Title: Re: KNT joke Post by: D-Mac on March 05, 2006, 10:09:04 am Just wondering, which manga did you get that from?
I'll assume the next panel in it would likely be: Speedy: (Slowly regains conciousness, looks up at the others, then blushes) It, um... Heh heh... Wasn't me? :O Poor Speedy. :D By lack of reaction prehaps not. I apologise for my transgressions everybody. Aww, come now. There's no need to apologise just for editing a pic to look like Speedy let one go. =P Besides, who among us hasn't laughed at a so called "childish" joke every now and again? :D If you really think that was too "over the top" for SPC humor, than you should go and watch Cold And Crabby In Little Tokyo. ;-) Title: Re: KNT joke Post by: leamur on March 05, 2006, 01:06:45 pm Hey D-Mac I guess I missunderstood what Kyo said.
I got it from this manga: http://www.edoropolis.org/violet/library/manga/index.html Title: Re: KNT joke Post by: KyoZaber on March 05, 2006, 04:31:31 pm :(
I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I meant it as a good thing. I thought your little gag on that manga was funny. :'( Title: Re: KNT joke Post by: leamur on March 05, 2006, 05:06:11 pm No worries Kyo, I read it wrong! I got another anyways...enjoy :D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/KNTjoke.jpg) NB: this and the previous joke images were taken from the Teyandee manga. Title: Re: KNT joke #2 Post by: D-Mac on March 06, 2006, 08:10:55 pm Heh heh, ya know I'm really enjoying the style of humor that you're using in these manga edits, as I find it very much in tune with mood of humor that was used in the SPC show. :D
Keep it up! ;) Title: Re: KNT joke #2 Post by: adam808 on March 06, 2006, 08:40:09 pm Hot cross buns hehe :)
Title: Re: KNT joke #2 Post by: leamur on March 06, 2006, 08:59:23 pm Thanks D-Mac.

Title: Re: KNT joke #3 Post by: BurkeWorld on March 08, 2006, 06:22:39 pm Looks like she's wearing those radical 80's sun glasses.
Rock on, Polly. Burkey Title: Re: KNT joke #3 Post by: Methid Man on March 08, 2006, 08:36:36 pm Y'know, these manga edits got me thinking... What if we erased the Japanese text from the speech bubbles and replaced them some of our own humorous lines? We could rewrite the Teyandee manga just like how SPC was rewritten. ;)

Now if only I could dig up that site's address. :-[ Title: Re: KNT joke #3 Post by: leamur on March 09, 2006, 09:44:35 am Funny you say that Methid Man, I thought of doing that to!
Title: Re: KNT joke #3 Post by: KyoZaber on March 09, 2006, 07:08:44 pm I wouldn't see anything wrong with that as long as we gave proper credit to the original artist. :-*
I like the sounds of this. ^_^ Title: Re: KNT joke #3 Post by: D-Mac on March 11, 2006, 01:37:31 am Yup yup. I'm also all for the idea. :D
btw, here's the link to the site with the older KNT manga edits, which I mentioned above. http://www.angelfire.com/oh/Samuripizzacatrulz/mang1.html Title: Re: KNT joke #3 Post by: felineki on October 03, 2006, 02:29:57 am Very cool sketches, leamur! Very interesting takes on the British Pizza Cats, I definitely think there's a lot of potential there. The British "Wally" cracks me up (in a good way), just the expression on his face and everything.
The Polly sketches are very nice, very dynamic. I often have trouble drawing characters from weird angles like that, you've done it very well here. Over the past few years, I've sorta gotten into a rut with my artwork of trying to be too stiff and precise, and as a result end up with stuff that's either rigid and dull, or simply abandoned before it's finished becuase I can't get it to look right. I want to try and be able to do more relaxed, cartoonish stuff like I used to, and these sketches are a great source of inspiration to that end. I noticed that most of your older drawings aren't showing up, but you offered to fix them if anyone showed interest. I'd really like to see them. :) Title: Re: KNT joke #3 Post by: leamur on October 10, 2006, 04:09:31 pm Ok Felineki, just for you...
This is the first piece I did many moons ago (biro on paper, coloured in Photoshop(PS)7) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/leamur.jpg) The next earliest piece that i can find. Done in biro again, I paused a random ep and sketched the chars. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/sketches_1.jpg) A later study session (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/sketch2.jpg) Just some random chars i did for RP and comic ideas: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/sayuri.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/monsters.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/ka-boom.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/bdn.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/BBS.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/scan0011.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/ancestors.jpg) And a few things I did for fun: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/spc2.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/ballcopy.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/group.jpg) Title: Re: Old stuff added Post by: felineki on October 10, 2006, 05:07:31 pm Thanks a lot, Leamur. Very nice artwork. I like how you showed the cardboard texture on the pizza box in the first picture, great detail. Really captured those facial expressions well in the studies. The RP and comic designs are really cool. I particularly like the dragon and the robot with the fish in it.
Title: Re: Old stuff added Post by: leamur on October 10, 2006, 09:14:16 pm Thanks Felineki. Here's somehting new that i did just for fun after digging up those old pics:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/leamur/SPC/spcgis.jpg) Just in case, GIS is Shirow's Ghost in the Shell. Poly is Motoko (the Major) while speedy was the unwitting volunteer to be Batou. Title: Re: Old stuff added (with a new thing as well!) Post by: AsterCrow on October 10, 2006, 10:41:01 pm People in my family are looking at me and wondering why I'm laughing so hard at the computer screen. Nice manga edits :D Oh, and the sketches rock too ^_^
Title: Re: Old stuff added (with a new thing as well!) Post by: Methid Man on October 10, 2006, 11:20:07 pm I still remember this piece you did for my friend. ^_^
