ohhh... don't worry  and thanks.

PD: Welcome   
PD2:*Gustavo begins to look for money to buy a new car*   

I hope no-one will be against if I move this to the Sketchbook... it's still art, and interesting one, even if real photos were used and Lisa was "borrowed".

I'm with Gustavo, if I had money, I'd definitely buy this car after seeing this advertisement.
On the second picture, Lisa doesn't look like sitting on the car, more like hovering in front of it. You can fix it easily by adding some shadow falling from Lisa's figure onto the car.
Other two pictures look good, like them! Interesting approach with making a "working" ad.

nice to see yet another new member.

I do like seeing some new art here, but this is hmm....
Please forgive me, but I really dont care too much for this. I do enjoy the fact that you found some new places to put some older pictures, but I just dont much care for the Advertising portion of it. I tend to stay away from commercials and ads as much as possible (I dont ever make a decision about something by an ad, most in fact turn me off of the product). I would like to see some regular art from you or even those pictures of Lisa in different backgrounds. Like i said, it is nothing personal, I just dont care for advertisements ( I never liked me Economics class anyway ).

What if the car is a hybrid?
No matter. Even hybrid cars uses the fuel, so I'm only for solar-cars. But if we look from the rational point of view it came obvious that absolutely majority of new cars polluting the world with itself extremely (last couple of decades at least) while the old cars not necessary goes to recycling, many of it still runs as well side by side with a new ones, which more rises the greenhouse effect and blocks up the roads and streets of a big cities.
I'm definitely believe that Lisa would never agree to put herself onto the advertising poster.
(still I feel I must bring my excuses to runfromcheney, for this thread is dedicated to his art, maybe commercial in a way, but not to Lisa's lifelooks. Should I create a separate thread for this? I can )

Hybrid cars? What does this mean?

I don't think advertising modern cars is that bad. Remember that new cars are always better, ecology-wise, than the old ones. They keep making new and new norms and standards about the allowed pollution level from the vehicles, and new standards are always more strict. So manufacturers have to make more efficient, safe and clean cars, otherwise selling them will be illegal.

Of course making a new car is a complex process that also produces pollution. But this applies to any kind of car; solar ones aren't any better from this POV. And accumulator vehicles (like Lisa's Elec-Taurus from "Hit and Run" ) can be even worse here, accumulators require lead and other very toxic materials to build them up.

And yes, I'm looking forward for a separate topic about this.

You forgot to mention the real benefit of Hybrid cars, they get twice the fuel economy and give out less than half of the greenhouse gases that normal cars give out. I know that we still need to find a way to wene ourselves off of oil altogether, but hybrids are a step in the right direction.

OPINIONS:
Its simple. Its a Toyota Lexus. Eww! Even if it has twice the efficiency, you'd get there twice as fast in a car with the same V8 engine the GS carries, well... maybe exagerated but still. If your looking for efficiency, how about a Audi A8? Or if your Lisa, or plain suicidle, how about the electric G-Wiz? (which diserves its own thread, for its safety issues and perfomance ridicule... but this isnt a motor forum )

The Lexus and the Audi are in the same catogary of car, however the ONLY reason anybody would seriously buy a Lexus instead is the price tag. The Lexus GS V8 is ?48,000 comparied to the whopping ?55,530 on the Audi. But seriously, you get what you pay for, and that extra money goes a long way.
I've been looking for performance times but... eh heh, they seem kinda similar.    I'd still have the Audi's amazingly refined four wheel drive system, and ofcourse the German quality; the feeling that its not built by a machine for every person, it feels special. And heck, if you had that much to spend in the first place, the Audi's extra expence is only estimatly 10% of the Lexus price.

Fifth Gear did a review on the Lexus GS 450h, but this one is the V6 model, but for the sake of a fair argument, I'll post it here.

Considering this is a Lisa Simpson forum, Lisa's car would be neither of the ones mentioned above. I think she'd much rather own a small European compact, like the Peugot 206, Saxo Fort?, or Volkswagon Lupo.

(And yes, I watch too much Top Gear)

(Last edit! I'm getting obsessed by this... just thought I'd post this too, its the Lexus GS 450h vs. the Audi RS 4, which is a much more powerful car than the Audi A8. Just trying to make the argument a bit more fair on the Lexus side)

Each to his own! *is ready to be slaughtered*


Whew, anyway. I think the picture idea is great! Even if I despise advertisement, Lisa in a car comercial is a really cool idea, and I might have to try that one day.
You've cut out Lisa well, and resized and placed her well too. Congrats.

Ah yes... that I agree with. Room for 5, boot space for a saxophone, reliability... everything she would need.

Really interesting idea. I like the idea myself, I think if Lisa was going to drive a car It would be a hybrid drive one.

Also reminds me of the episode Sideshow Bob Roberts when Homer & Lisa are both in the car listening to the talk show when lisa says

"Dad, I had to listen to this jerk all morning.  Can we listen tosomething else?"
Homer replies: "When I'm driving the car, I get to choose the radio station. When you're driving, we'll listen to your radio station.

To where it then switches scene to the radio showing a different station playing John Parr's St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion) and then scene switches to lisa smiling and driving and enjoying the track.

Can just imagine her in her Lexus driving down the road happily listening to St. Elmo's Fire. To top it off I love that track too . I just think that scene is so cute and funny and gives an insight to what pop music Lisa likes too. Nice to know she seems to like 80's music like me

Here is the scene in question:

And the track in full:

Heh, I think you edited these pictures well for your lesson
Although I can't really make the connection (I'm no car or lisa fanatic I'm afraid), you have placed her well beside the cars
Nice work! (sorry for being a bit late >_<)

Yeah, she would be against the excess. I guess we are safe to say Prius.


But I could totally see Bart in that Escalade.

The last one is great. It's a really fitting pose for Marge in this picture.

I like the second one, it has a nice meaning to it. Could relaly see it as an official advert for a SUV.

The fourth one is a good idea too, but it's mostly good for the classic Marge pose/hairdo

car ads created from bordem ?
Hehe, this forums gonna be overtaken by car nuts So in risk of sounding like a complete idiot due to my lack of knowledge on cars, I will have to pass commenting on the car itself >_<
Overall, Good usage of Marge art, and you have displayed this clearly, can see this in a magazine article

I found this on my jump drive.

agreed, the last picture from the dodge caravan series, is the most impressive. :-)
a simple merging of pictures and it works. *gets urge to buy that version, featuring marge inside*
runfromcheney, you have a good sense of choosing the right pics and backgrounds for your collages. also, you do very accurate work with merging them together. quite original and amusing stuff, keep it up.
