Title: Devils Crunch cereal
Post by: Nando on January 29, 2013, 03:08:53 AM
As some of you know I have all sorts of art projects going at any one time. Granted I only work on them a little bit at a time, as I can.

Anyway, part of my next idea is to create a Devils Crunch cereal tshirt design, kinda like Thorrios, Loki charms AlieYums.

(http://www.feistees.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/alyms.jpg)

the left side will have a partly transformed lizard woman face licking her lips looking at a bowl of cereal, inside the cereal bowl will be the different pieces of crunchy devil stuff that I want you to help me with.

What pieces from the game should be in the cereal? I want to keep it between five and six like the images above.

Hah, cool :)  Well, there are those robed monks, but perhaps you could make them smiley monk-heads a bit like bonk, or that little guy with the dots on his head from Dragonball.

I wouldn't, I'll probably just end up posting the art online and those that want to get it, can.  It will take me a bit to finish it anyway, so I don't want to have any set deadlines. Just gather ideas right now :)

How 'bout the four legged spider-skulls that guard the in and out lanes, pentagrams, the dragon skull bumpers by the flippers, or the two legged frog lookin' things that strut around the bonus tower?

Awesome ideas necro!

For sure the pentagram, will sketch out some of the other ideas too.

Thanks Chris!

Devils Crunch !!! I'm so with it! Sounds like an awesome idea .. Can't wait to see the complete art work for it! I have some buddies that have a t-shirt print shop .. Let me know if I can help out making this happen .. I'll pay for some of the printing and tees ..

An Alien's Crunch would be awesome too!

And, maybe, a Jaki's Crunch cereal as well.

I feel that if it was done right, I'd want one too.  The only problem is, only one of my friends would get the joke...

why is that a problem?, that just means they don't obey. As long as you know what it means, your good to go.

Hah, you're right of course, but I'd worry it might give a completely different impression!  I love (and have quite a few) shirts with deliberately obscure videogame references, but they always stand out by themselves.

There's a danger... well, in my opinion, that this could turn into a cross between D&D or metal, which woulddn't be an impression I'd want to give off.  But I have faith in Nando's skillz :)
Title: Re: Devils Crunch cereal
Post by: roflmao on January 29, 2013, 02:27:16 PM
I think there is a peaceful co-existence between D&D, Metal, and Devil's Crush.  Metal and D&D play a vital role in Devil's Crush so it wouldn't be much of a Devil's Crush t-shirt if it didn't exemplify those characteristics, imo. :)

So.... is there a chance of getting real cereal or what?
Title: Re: Devils Crunch cereal
Post by: Nando on January 30, 2013, 07:47:40 AM
Alright, made a bit more progress on the conceptual stuff.

The main cereal will be a square-ish affair resembling Captn' Crunch cereal, but in the shape of the PCE

The special pieces might be

Pentagram
Eye ball
Dragons Egg
Knight shield or Knights head
Frog /Fish looking thingies that come out of the tower on the bottom board, as Necro suggested

Feel free to ad more suggestions at this stage.


I want to add some Kanji to it as well, something corny along the lines of

"A devilish taste in every byte" 

すべてのバイトで悪魔のような味

as well as

だけで PC-ENGINE!  someone pls let me know if that's written/translated properly.

Thanks!

OK... DUN DUNDUN....  I want to suggest that the pentegrams be actual cereal, with the marshmallow shapes or w/e being everything else.  Just so you get a devilish taste in EVERY bite.

I thought about doing that, too. I'll just have to create the cereal and see how things look.

Excellent.  I'm not keen on the second one, but the other three.. I have difficulty deciding.

I guess the first pose, but cuted up a bit?

Jackie Chan's Action Crunch!

Nice thumbnail's btw for the Devil's crunch.  I still am not sure on which expression I like the best. :-k

That would have Jackie doing a flying kick toward the cereal! I LIKE IT! but what would the pieces of marshmallow be?

Tiger
Orb
Frog
Fish?

lol


oh and I am totally undecided on the expression too.

I may try a mix of #1 and #3

Title: Re: Devils Crunch cereal
Post by: geise on February 01, 2013, 03:25:09 AM
Why marshmallow's?  They could all be bits like Alpha Bits.  =P~

Jackie doing a bunch of different poses.

BTW for Devil's Crunch I decided I like the lip lick the best.

I feel that her nose should be smaller and her mouth higher up?
Title: Re: Devils Crunch cereal
Post by: Nando on February 12, 2013, 01:26:19 AM
I'm hoping she kinda looks like a lizard/Snake at least vaguely when I am done with her. Hence the nose out further down. Maybe I need to look at Orochimaru a bit more. ;)

I'm doing the outlines in illustrator, got the character and the cereal bowl more or less done, it's all flat colors right now, no shading. I will post a pic once it's a bit more rendered.

Can't wait.  I'm wondering if it's going to be quite shaded, or more of a block-colour style.  I feel the latter would be suited to a real shirt, if it gets that far.

Cel shaded for a lack of a better word. Take a look at the pics on page 1 that inspired me. Going for a similar color style.
