Mattchew's fanart thread 4.0... Nerd Alert!

[Mattchew]

the cali raisin needs to be more purple... he kinda looks like a potato or a turd... lol (lil too brown) otherwise everyone else looks great

o and we discussed sugar bear earlier... please fix him and make him look more like sugar bear.. lol he's way too big and looks off... that's gonna completely annoy me (especially since everyone else looks amazing)

I made the Cali Raisin more purple, as per your suggestion.

As for sugar bear, I do intend a retake, but again, he is laying face down and his head isn't visible, and I don't intend on showing his head no matter what.... I kinda like the idea that its a bear in a blue shirt laying face down, and you as a viewer have to know its sugar bear.

We'll see what it looks like in the end. I'll probably be tackling that in the next day or two.

oh man this is great. I can't wait for to see the final.

Thanks!

hahahah tony the tigers expression is too good!

thanks!

I love how toucan sam has that "have mercy" gesture going on and the trix rabbit looks like an addict. who are you having kill the rabbit? I think it would be ****ing sick and twisted, yet great, if the little kids from whom he steals the cereal were taking real revenge on him.

hahah! in the end, it will be an unseen killer, but hence forth I will be imagining your idea right outside the frame.

Tony looks awesome... the colours and the texture are spot on! Though I agree.. a slightly different colouring on the raisin might be a good idea.

Thanks!... and yes, I made the Cail Raisin more purple.

More painting on my 'Food Fight' picture, featuring classic food product marketing characters.

I'd love to hear your thoughts so far!

PS:

If you count the M&M's as separate figures, this piece includes 38 characters...

17 down, 21 to go.

[Juggertha]

I dig it, but I think the MnMs need to look a tad more scared.

 

[imaperson2]

Have some dead Mini M&M's on the floor too jk

You should put some melted choclate on the knife. And take a chunk or a few gashes out of one of the others like Pillsbury almost got two of them.

More in time.

Looks fantastic! Great work as ever.

I hate making judgements before something is finished.

I guess the only suggestion, which you might be doing anyway, would be to put some red stains on the Hamburgler to signify Ron was splashing around and struggling.

Otherwise, it's terrible. Absolutely terrible.

You're being sarcastic right?

Great work Mattchew

No pic update. I just need to vent for a second...

I just bought photoshop CS4 and was all excited to get it installed and running... until I did.

It ran SO sluggishly that I couldn't even use the brush tool... and files took FOREVER TO OPEN... and a million other examples.

After a day and a half of Google searches, and trying 50 billion tweaks to optimize, I FINALLY stumbled upon a cnet article about a patch Adobe put out back in February.

Once I d/led it from adobe and ran it, Photoshop CS4 64-bit works perfectly... PERFECTLY!

But it pisses me off that Adobe never notifies you with a pop-up, or email upon software registration, or SOMETHING to tell you...

"Our software that you just dropped hundreds of dollars on is essentially unusable without running this patch... So you MAY want to do that BEFORE you light your torch and assemble an angry mob."

Anyway, I'm sure this is an old issue for many, but is EXTREMELY fresh for me, and I just needed to get it off my chest.

Onward and Upward.

That's hilarious. So is the one with Hamburgler drowning Ronald McDonald in the Cool-Aid guy bowl.
