Strange Behavior (Illustration) Entry: John Shakespeare

#21

Nice sketches, bags of character. Reading your initial ideas though, I quite like the idea of an old Pixar character going off the rails - I just see a homeless Buzz Lightyear wasted in a gutter with his original packaging serving as a cardboard box home :smiley:

#22

, wow great sketch, and did you already named this character? hehe, too funny, I cant look at it HAHAHA.
Good Luck

#23

lol love your character sketches :smiley:

#24

Finally the shakes thread has appeared. Great news.:bounce:

I love your sketches. So far the Noah’s ark is my favorite. But what would be the strange behavior in it? Isn’t it quit normal to leave a bunch of creepy critters behind? :twisted:
May be you can alter it just a little bit. You could let Noah lead a bunch of creepy critters onto his ark while the “normal” animals have to stay outside.

Anyway this thread will be fun to follow.

Good luck with the challenge.

ok, got my concept-this will be a parody of a ‘Pixar’ character. it will be on one of my favourite themes, the Elvisian Tragedy…or the Celebrity’s fall from grace, but also a chance to poke fun at all those very clever but sickeningly cute Pixar characters!
So this will be a very famaous 3d cartoon star who’s had it all, seen it all, and is now losing it all…very strange behavior for a cute cartoon star.

#27

Great style you’ve got there. Nice and nasty. :applause:

#28

You’re off to a brilliant start shakes. Lovely sketches. I like the ageing rabbit star. I just can’t imagine cartoon characters ageing gracefully

#29

Really great !!! I liked a lot the suicide scene… waiting for the CSI team :thumbsup:

#30

the last idea is great but as far as characters are concerned, i love the ant-eater…

#31

Haha, too much of great ideas in here!Love the passed by pixar character, the noah arc and the rabbit having enough of being loved!Nice start and great sketches!Good luck and surely loads of fun!

#32

Splendid start here, John! The Pixar rabbit idea is a really fun one and could make a real good image. However, I’m in favour of the Noahs ark idea - simply because I’d love to see all the strange critters you will come up with for it.
Either way - this will be your party for sure :thumbsup:

#33

haha, awesome character sketches! :smiley: They clearly give you a different view on cute animals :stuck_out_tongue:

RRRRRRRRRRRRaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggllllllllllllll !
Tell me why I didn’t see your entry before ! Few days ago I told myself that it was a pity not to see you in this challenge !
So, I missed your thread, shame on me !
anyway, great concept Shakie Shakes !
I always love your style !
Keep the faith mate !
I will follow this !

Splendid start John!:bounce:
Love the Trixar scene! that has a lot of potential.

can`t believe you stole my Frankenstein-bunny idea though…:sad:

Now I have to come up with something else. However there are still some motives left for me when I join up (I hope…).

I see no one have made any Mohamed cartoons yet
… That could be interesting to explore religion and politics
.

Anyway good luck to you mate. I`ll keep a close eye on this tread.

#36
