PIGS IN SPACEby ~nasubionna

PIIIIIGS IIIIN SPAAAAACE!!!

The new Muppets movie got me feeling all nostalgic and inspired to do some fan art. Pigs In Space is one of my favorite skits, and I would dearly love to see them revisit it (oh, if only they'd had one in the new movie... but seeing Strangepork and Link in their Swinetrek uniforms in the background did make me gleeful)!
I'm quite pleased with this, though I think Miss Piggy is definitely the weakest likeness here. The font is a fan-made old school Star Trek font that I found online and hand traced from a print out onto the art. Everything is Copic marker and Prismacolor pencil on vellum bristol board, except I used Photoshop to put in the dark blue background and also to put the white sparkles on their uniforms. I would have done them by hand, but I don't have a white paint pen! I'll have to buy one and then I can finish this up properly. It's 14 x 17 inches, so it's quite large and I had to scan it in 3 pieces and stick it back together in Photoshop.
Super fun to draw!

I wish they the full opening of "Pigs in Space" during the third, forth, and fifth Season of the Muppet Show. You know what I am referring to. As in after the swinetrek ship flies as the narrator went "And now....PIIIIGS IIIIN SPAAAACE!!!" Two shooting stars would come out and then character's heads zoom up (Like the Viacom V of Doom) As the narrator introduces the characters. "Staring with The incredible Captain Link Hogthrob, The adorable first mate Miss Piggy, and the mad scientist Dr. Julius Strangepork." And then goes to the main story. But I don't know why cut that opening for Season 3, 4, and 5. I just don't get it.

I guess they figured that after the 1st season it wasn't necessary, as the audience would know who they were. *shrug* I agree, though, that it was fun to hear what new descriptions they would come up with for each pig!

There was no Pigs In Space during the first season of The Muppet Show. Pigs in Space was introduced for the second season.
