Tributing the 20 odd years of the simpsons, the show i've watched since i was little. I've also been meaning to upload a pic of Homer in my style for ages but never got round to doing a good enough sketch, let alone colour it in.

Originally this was going to have the whole simpsons family with it but i thought it looked better with just Homer and Maggie. It does feel nice to do these relaxed, tender artworks from time to time. Apart from that i can always render in more simpsons characters seeing that this pic was also compiled in a higher res with more background.

This pic does of course remind of another pic that's been going around of Homer painted cartoony but with realistic wrinkles and hair and so forth. In any case i've practically turned him into a "horrible freak with pink skin, no overbites, and five fingers on each hand". Ah!

Simpsons by Matt Groening. Art by me. Done in markers, pencils, acrylic paint and photoshop for the rendering.

Following :iconchris-supernerd: 's lead i might dig up loads of old stuff to colour in. Unfinished business you might say.

I like the color of Maggie's hair, and how it's so shiny. :)

When I first saw this, my intial reaction was to say that Homer looked less good looking than usual, which is along the lines of what I usually say when I see your reinterpretations of classic cartoon characters, but looking closer, I realized he doesn't look all that different from his normal appearance; just slightly more human with more realistic detail. And then I saw Maggie in there, and now I think this is actually pretty cute and that this is a very nice tribute.
