Bigger pics of everything on my flickr. I went to the Killer painting workshop at Switcheroo on Saturday 03/12. This was the result. orange vinyl with gold, yellow, red-orange, and dark brown. Just playing around with some paint on this guy.
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" Wow. I think it looks incredible. I'm really impressed by the highlighting and fade work to make the bun look toasted and the limbs saucy. I see what you're saying on the layer under the eyes, and I think it works as is. It looks better compositionally to have the whole face/head area one color, and I think it might get a bit muddled to make the sauce another color. I'm surprised noone's done this yet, but I'm still blown away at how good you made it.
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" This figure doesn't really do much for me but you have certainly painted it well. I think it's fine how it is. It's a very literal interpretation of the character and I think it works perfectly. Nice job, dude.
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" The interpretation I was looking for! Might need some more finesse but I'd be proud of it!!
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" love the paintjob! never thought of what it would like as a real burger. and I like the way the burger included the sauce actually. you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in France?
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" i'm finally starting to see the "top lip" part of the patty, and it makes so much more sense to me now. the only thing that throws me is that i get more of a ketchup feel than a special sauce feel. (but i have to look at pictures of that particular three layer burger all day long, so i may be a little biased. =p)
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" Thanks for the feedback/support everyone. It means a lot coming from all of you. I was pretty sure both S7 and Arbito wouldn't go the traditional color route on this guy and I really wanted to see what it would look like. It really turned him into some sort of rejected kids meal toy and pulls out the quirky/cartoony side of the character.
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" Hey Lee, thanks for the comment. Let me know about the finessing. I do have a few things to touch up, like the eyes, and a few minor other places. I'd love to hear your thoughts. -david
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" I'm probably not the person to comment on airbrushing having done very little of it myself, but you took the time to hit the sesame seeds so I might be inclined to hit some of the other little details - lines in lettuce, highlights in the eyes, etc. You really only have to please yourself. You made a fun piece!
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" We call it a "Royal cheese" and it looks like that : And nice custom Animator !
Re: "Mmmm, this is a tasty burger" Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I did a little bit of detail work on this and finished it up. I posted some more detailed pictures by request.
Updated with Killer custom at the top. Also if anyone is interested in the custom Patty Powers, he's available, please contact me.
Yup really dig that Killer!!! Can't get over that event. What fun. I'd love to be involved in something like that.
Thanks for the support and kind words everyone. S7 should do a Steven customizing workshop. I think a similar event in SF would be even more successful. They could make it a series of workshops or 1 big event, with you and all the other Monster Family people.
Killer is out of the bag for a better pic. You can see more of the orange vinyl trying to peek through the gold spray.
