something I learned this weekend

Googling up decent pics of Turanga Leela is not hard, providing you are willing to slog through a metric assload of Futurama-themed porn. I know enough about the internet to expect to see some porn pretty much every time I use Google image search. But man, looking for a good Leela shot to use as a PC pic resulted in an amazingly high porn to not-porn ratio. Way to go, sweaty nerds of the internet! If I could draw worth a damn I'd no doubt waste some portion of my time on similar projects.

Anyway, here are the four contenders for use as a cycloptic mutant in my post-apocalyptic Encounter Critical game for Winter War.





Centaur Leela would be a lock if she were holding a zap gun. Space Princess Leela definitely fits the "when in doubt sex it up" ethos of Encounter Critical. Fanart Leela is probably what I'll go with here. You get a zap gun and her wrist gizmo but a totally different art sensibility without losing the sense of the character. And the background is neat.

    I gotta vote centaur Lela, despite the disturbing lack of a raygun. How are your photoshop skills?

    Space Princess Leela is an easy second.

    Somewhere between non-existence and totally craptastic.

    Nekkid Turanga Leela is one thing, but the babe gettin' it on with an octopus one *page one* of the search results...I believe the expression is: O_o

    The other week, I had to do an image of Jane Jetson, and I ran into a similar problem when looking for reference.

    Meh - the fanart Leela is a poor interpretation, IMHO. I'd have to vote for space princess Leela - that's a nifty image. The fanart Leela is what I imagine she'd look like if she were to appear in Maxim magazine. (They always manage to make even the most attractive women look like cheap sluts.)

    Is it sad that I recognize that Space Princess outfit from an old pulp cover?
