WC #224; Static-O'Hair-Stick

Hi folks,

made this piece for Weekend Challenge #224, topic is A strange invention!

Static-O’Hair-Stick

The lightning was made in After Effects.
Post-Pro, text and compositing in Photoshop… well, duh.

Hope y’all like it,

Haha. I dig it. I love his nose.

And the concept.

another cool still from sago!

cheers!

Funny as usual piece from Sago.

Though you’ll have to change the background eventually.

haha! that guy needs a big fat uni-brow that gets the electrons too, then he will be super smart…looking,

its the tie that makes it so funny, its always those dorky guys that have funny ties, haha!!

i was hoping not to like this work, so i could say, ahh sago sucks, i hate his face!!

but i must give it four super wu-men http://www.home.earthlink.net/~nellim/superwu.gif http://www.home.earthlink.net/~nellim/superwu.gif http://www.home.earthlink.net/~nellim/superwu.gif http://www.home.earthlink.net/~nellim/superwu.gif …would have been five…but as they say “no uni-brow, no five super wu-men”…?..:spin:

:Dsuperb!
looks a little bit like prince charles:eyebrowlift:

haha, his nose is huge! Not your best render IMO, but very entertaining:)

Nice one, good idea. But you might wanna use another background cuzz it’s not the first time you’ve used this one. Nice bowtie

cheers

haha, good job. :yes:

Nice ,yeah really nice …

It’s too bad that we can’t create some nice lightning (like after effect) easily in blender :frowning: .

Peace :eyebrowlift: .

Great render. I bet you didn’t know that such a device actually exists. It’s called a flocker, and it is used to make the hair of a puppet stand up straight when it is setting. A well known example would be the miss piggy puppet.

I’ve also seen it in a movie… funny kinda movie… grr what’s its name.:no:

Anyways great job, funny as always :slight_smile:

Hi people,

thanks for the replies, muchos appreciate.

Super Wu-Man,
wow, 4 super wu-men! :eek: I can die happily now. :rolleyes: Now is there a way to change those wu-mens into 4 real stars of the normal rating system?

Cyborg Dragon & snelleeddy,
sorry, can’t make a different background. This is my default background colour now and I just don’t know how to change it back.

kaeru,
I’m sure @ndy will be able to make a decent lightning effect with Blender. But us ‘normal’ people will have to use other programs to get the job done. Okay I guess, as long as it gets the job done.

Yoeri,
yeah, not my best. I totally agree. But which one do you think is my best? Please PM me the answer with a motivation of minimal 1000 words before the end of the week. Thank you.

Modron,
nope, didn’t know something similar exists. But I’m sure it’s not as cool as my Static-O’Hair-Stick!

Mrdodobird, Felix_Kütt, xilemina, paulR & Claws,
thanks all, please drive safely.

The best thing about this one (aside from the nice cheap-plastic look of the cheap plastic item), is that I’ve actually seen crappy product boxes that look like this, sometimes with worse art. I mean, you could print on cardboard and put it on a shelf next to say, some cheap network cards, and it would fit right in, and probably outsine them. :smiley:

Awesome face! The teeth are fantastic!

i see someones commented ont he nose- you think the static would do interesting things to his nose hair… ? lol
