I can't even tell if this is coming together or not at the moment. You know when you've been staring at something for so long it just dissolves into abstract colours and shapes? ...yeah.

Update on Snake

**dreh_meister** · November 6th, 2012, 10:36 AM

I thought I should run away from the idea of a slow zombie and keep the undead gag thing... I imagined Bruce Lee as a Zombie, because he would beat the crap out of the army when he would be turned... and as he would punch and kick everybody trying to rip him out, he would lose some parts of his body... I'm having a lot of fun doing this haha Name: leewip.jpg

Now that the other mods have joined we're going to shift the deadlines back to sunday, although it's now going to be much earlier. So that means that you guys have a few extra days to polish off your designs and we'll post our new topic on sunday

**Whiskey Sour** · November 7th, 2012, 02:10 AM

I finished up yesterday, and as a child of the 80's, this is what I thought of first.

@dreh_meister: very nice, I hope to see it with some values!

Great work here by everyone.

**Shahan** · November 9th, 2012, 04:56 PM

g@m nice one man , that looks awesome, i think this makes it look better though.. http://look-at-this-photograph.com/?...3&d=1352303601

**G@m** · November 10th, 2012, 03:21 PM

g@m wow its looks much better! If I had anything else to say for you to consider it would be to think about the blood spewing from pluto's head.

As in ... what direction is mickey coming from, there should be blood spatter or foot prints or some indication of his trajectory, the blood coming from plutos head onto the ground. don't do this too vibrantly though In my opinion this is all subtlety and adding layers to the drawing.

and I just don't like the empty space on the left, maybe some nice bright green Disney trees ,adjacent to the castle,like a nice complimentary green to the other focused colors: red, pluto yellow, very small and faded, low opacity

take another look at mickey's exposed ribs and his left shoe, just a quick glance over, i can't put my finger on it but that is all I have to say about mickey.

the motion is great, the background is beautiful, maybe some zombie damage like fire or blood on the castle... maybe not..

I like the overall image a lot, great color too. Total feel of a zombie thing in Disney... I mean you never see bloodred in Disney or situations like this. The red color here goes well with the sky disney blue color and mickey's black fur and pluto's yellow.
Awesome man, awesome.

**dreh_meister** · November 10th, 2012, 04:46 PM

When are the finals coming up?

**alexLH** · November 10th, 2012, 07:03 PM

@gam, looks great. would it be too busy with a screaming toddler in the foreground? probably, but it would be hilarious!
@dreh, zombie bruce lee would probably be the most terrifying thing ever.
