“Looks like Rain”

Cloudy with a chance of BoxHeads…

Ok, this is the newest piece. Less color than the last few(purposefully). Began as having OddBall alone in this white city. Then was playing around, added some coulds(Can you tell I like them? Tried a new technique this time: Meta-Balls), and thought “What if the coulds were raining BoxHeads?” Not ultra original, nor of any major technical value(though the screen-lag started to get pretty bad), but Im happy with it.

Im thinking now that when I feel Ive finished these(no certain number yet) Ill put them all together into one thread, so you can just see them all.

Usual drill, minor photoshop post-pro, blender internal with sub AO.

nice series you have going on here

Thanks very much man.

its nice, and I can’t find anything in particular wrong with it, other then the lack of real originality, but since you were just playing around and such, no harm. I like the clouds, need to try that one day

I can’t find anything in particular wrong with it,

nice guy.

Glad it wasnt too terrible…

I think i like the previous one better, but the clouds and oddballs’s expression are ausome. Well done.

Yeah, I think the last was much better as well…
But hey, good days and bad days…

Thanks man

by no means was I saying it sucked, just that I liked the ones before it, particularly the first one. I definately couldn’t do what you do.

No hard feelings?

ha, definately no hard feelings, I was just kidding :smiley:

I like some of your ideas, although I think that your scenes need more work.

k, good then :smiley:

p.s. holy **** you respond fast…

I just posted in one other thread and BAM! you’re there :stuck_out_tongue:

Interesting series, though eventually you will have to introduce more characters then just odd balls and box heads:)

@CD: ha, yeah, Ive actually got one in the works. I was just being lazy, pushing it back as long as possible :smiley:
@Alvaro: Thanks. Its true, they’re far from perfect(Im no master), but Im doing what I can, learning what I can…
@Spiffy: hehehehe, Im sneakysneaky…

I recognised you style at once. I love it you know :stuck_out_tongue:

sweet piece Drew, sweet piece!

peace out.

Jacco;

awesome peice…:smiley:

ha ha , i love it, its really great, i love those ‘box heads’

p.s. holy **** you respond fast…

I just posted in one other thread and BAM! you’re there :stuck_out_tongue:

Thats because he has no life. :slight_smile: I think you need to experiment more with your style. We all have one, and yours is pretty unique, yet all the images in the set look the same…
experiment, all the cool kids are doing it.

hehe
you got a good concept - still like those box-heads and the one misfit ;p
but, I agree with Shamem, good expressions - but still not as good as your last
I think the thing is those clouds - they match the style, but they sorta take away from the quality of the image
3.4 stars, rounded up ;p

@Jacco: Hey, thanks a ton man!
@Trak: hehe, glad you like it
@Flurp: Thankyouthankyou
@'Ol Framey: Har har, your a poot. I actually had just refreshed, and, viola! a post…
As for my style, its true, I get on these runs, with lots of similar pieces. Im still ‘experimenting’ with variations of things…
Its harder than you’d think.
@Jeeps: Yeah, That last one was really good…I actually only worked on this one for an hour or so(as compared to a few hours) but yeah, the last would be hard to top anyway.

Thanks everyone for the crits and votes.

Peace!
Drew

Its good, but its not as original as your other ones. I do really like the series though.
