    *Head explodes at the sheer cuteness of them*

    Sorry about that. I'll get a mop.

    I might sound a little niave, but who is Brio? I've never heard of her.
  2. blackaerin Active Member


    *hands you the mop* lol, my secret weapon has been unveiled! none shall resist the sheer cute and live! mwahaha! >:D
    thanks to all of you who liked it, and please, if you think that i should fix, adjust, or change something, feel free to tell me! i don't bite! (much) :shifty:

    Brio's one of the Minstrels from Fraggle Rock; she plays the cymbals, has glasses, and is the only Minstrel apart from Cantus that looks Fraggle-like. We only get to see her for 3 episodes, and she's more of a background character, but it's just adorable to watch her.
    *shrugs* i like obscure characters :p

    Phew, this thread looks a bit abandoned. Dusty too.
    Not to worry! For I have managed to get off my lazy arse and draw Muppets!

    Just me doodling my fav Muppets for a meme I saw floating around on DevArt. (which I hope to finish... sometime this year. :\ )
    I don't know why, but I seem to have an odd fascination for background/minor/oneshot Muppets. Especially, Trumpet/Trombone Girl, she baffles me. Everyone else is pretty self explanatory, how the heck did she end up as one of my favorites when she had only one line in the entire show? And yet I have parts of her backstory already in my head, named her Alice and paired her up with Lips.
    Ah well, I was pretty happy that they brought her, Nigel, Lips, and Strangepork back for the movie. Now if only they could've snuck in Pops as well...

    Oh and last note, if there's ever a crime these guys are guilty of committing, it's for confusing poor artists like me with them never making up their mind as to how tall they are. Darn you Muppets and your fluctuating heights!

    Love how Robin is perched on top of Rowlf's head!

    *looks at all the pretty art*

    *tries to scrape jaw off the floor*

    Zoot! Bunsen and Beaker! Electric Mayhem! Trumpet girl! Bunsen on his own! Robin! *foams, flails, and spazzes*

    :D

    Have I mentioned that you are insanely talented and that I'm jealous of your art skills? Because I am, and you are. This is awesome.
  6. blackaerin Active Member

    Aw thanks! Just one of the perks of being small and having so many nice tall friends, you get the best seats! :)
    And might I add, that I love that you have Nigel as your avatar?

    Oh stop, now you've gone and got me blushing!:flirt: You are far too kind Ozzy! :D

    Yes, Bunsen on his own! Everyone tends to forget about Bunsen in favor of Beaker, but I find him a wonderful character by himself. He's so cheerily oblivious despite his vast wealth of knowledge yet he's very passionate about his work. And yes, even though his experiments turn out not so great on Beaker's behalf, he's still pretty nice to him. Plus, I adore his hissing laugh. Tss, tss, tss, tss!

    I love all your drawings! Everyone draws better than me!

    I was watching the Kaye Ballard episode of TMS, and really liked the scene where Rowlf and Nigel play the theme song together, and I get bored with keeping one avatar for too long, so there's that.

    Plus I swear he looks just like a Fraggle.
  9. blackaerin Active Member

    Holy guacamole, are you psychic? :eek:
    Because I noticed Nigel's Fraggly physique after drawing a bunch of Muppets and Fraggles back to back. Uncanny man... :fishy:

    You. Are. Amazing. 'Nuff said. If I didn't know this was fan art, I'd swear it was actual concept art for the Muppets. Awesome work, and you have yet another admirer to add to your ever growing list! <3
  11. Ozymandias Active Member

    Your welcome. :D

    Glad to see another Bunsen fan here, I love that guy for all the rasons above and then some. :D He and Beaker have been duking it out in my mind for the title of "Ozy's Favorite Muppet" ever since I watched that one episode of Muppets Tonight where Beaker leaves on a Star Trek cruise and meets George Takei (also known as the BEST MUPPETS TONIGHT EPISODE EVER), and Bunsen basically admitted in the beginning of the episode that he was lonely, and he didn't really belong with the others. I really identified with that (as I was in a very similar situation growing up), and it was the first time I really identified with a Muppet on a personal level, so he and Beaker are now tied for my favorite character. Seeing him with Beaker makes me smile; seeing him on his own is even better because it's rare that it happens.
  12. blackaerin Active Member

    Oh wow, that really makes me happy to read that! Thank you so much for the kind words! :)

    Oh goodness, I just watched that episode out of curiosity, and he was so adorkable in that episode! (I laughed at the bodybuilder outfit, goodness Bunsen is ripped under that labcoat! Who would've thunk it? ;) )
    But yeah, I can totally identify with Bunsen in the socially awkward department: passionate of work yet terrible people skills. But I do admire his perseverance and willingness to change and experience some "adventure" instead of just moping about his predicament. It's lovely character development and makes me an even bigger Bunsen fan.
  13. Ozymandias Active Member

    I laughed so hard when I saw that part, because all I could think of was an Avatar: The Last Airbender fan comic by booter-freak on dART, where Iroh's been caught by Azula, and she's mocking him for being fat. He's all "WHO ARE YOU CALLING FAT?" and flexed his muscles, causing half his clothes to rip off. XD I can totally imagine Bunsen and Phil Van Neuter pulling off the same joke, and oh snap now I've gotta go and draw that. XDDDDD

    THIS. The worst thing the writers could have done would have been to Shinjify him ALA Neon Genesis Evangelion, but they gave him some really clever character development instead (something he kind of needed at that point). Now, if only the writers would've set up a rivalry between Bunsen and Van Neuter, because there was some serious potential there for awesome shenanigans to go down. :D

    Anyways, enough of me muffining your thread. Carry on with your awesome art. :)
  14. blackaerin Active Member

    Darnit Ozzy, stop making me want to draw stuff! How am I supposed to have a life if you keep giving me art bunnies? *glare of dooooom* :scary:
    Oh I remember there being a vid on youtube of MuppetFest, and Bunsen and Van Neuter finally met, eventually resulting in Bunsen twiddling Van Neuter's ears somehow. Too bad I can't find those darn vids...
    Absolutely hilarious interaction and I find the idea of a scientific rivalry between these guys fantastic.

    Don't mind if I do! :D
    (and Ozzy? Feel free to muffin as much as you want. It reminds me that I even have this thread some days. ;) )

    Introducing Biker Janice from Ruahnna's amazing and ushy gushy fanfic, Kermie's Girls.
    I just love drawing clothes for Janice, she's got a fun fashion sense that's much more down to earth than Piggy's, yet still unique and artsy. Can't wait to tackle her Christmas tree dress eventually. :flirt:

    Your style is so awesome. <33
    It's always nice to see more appreciation for Jan too. She's one of my favorite muppets ever.
  16. blackaerin Active Member

    I love Janice, her and Zoot are like my absolute favorites.
    Maybe it's because she's not a stage hog, or she's got an artsy side to her, or has a unique sense of independence and humor, or because she is really pretty and a talented singer/guitarist, or because she seems to have the patience of a saint working in close proximity with 3 other scraggly men and a wild thing as bandmates in a hectic crazy theater for so long.
    She's a strong gal without having to resort to making airs.

    I love your art. It's just so dang much fun to look at. Please keep it up!
  18. Ozymandias Active Member

    I love that outfit Janice has on SO. MUCH. It's a nice play on the poodle skirt, and I love her boots! Her legs do seem a bit long, but this is muppet proportions we are talking about, so you could probably get away with it. :p

    Mwahahahahaha....:crazy:

    I saw the transcripts and photos of that exchange on MuppetWiki (Can I just say how much I love that site? Because I love that site :D), and just the mental image of Bunsen saying "Woogie woogie woogie!" makes me giggle. :)

    Haha, I'm half tempted to write a fic where Bunsen find's out about Van Neuter's family life. I tell you, it has to be INSANE having Composta Heap *shudders* as your wife, your assistant as your brother in law, and having Zelda Rose be your mother. That, and just the fact that Van Neuter looks faintly like Dr. Horrible is giving me ideas. >:-D Fly, my plot bunnies, fly!

    Sweeeeeeet. :D

    I realized that I haven't put up any Fraggles in here yet. :concern:
    Have some Fraggle kids while I go punish myself by reciting the Thimble Beetle song without messing up. :smirk:
    Anybody know what these three have in common? :D (Besides being created by amazingly creative people?)
    Periwinkle Fraggle belongs to Redsonga from her amazing yet sadly on hiatus Fraggle series
    Pepper Fraggle belongs to KittyxMs.Pepper from her story Life's A Not-so Happy Song
    Sage Fraggle belongs to Slackbot from her very Muppet/Fraggle crossover-ish universe
