7 Deadly Sins of Pop and Cartoon Network

1:25 PM
Wah! Found this awesome stuff in facebook. I just have to share it. It's the 7 deadly sins represented by famous pop singers. Madonna represents Pride, i guess she's very vain and thinks high of her self. Britney is for Sloth maybe because she has nothing to do with her life coz she got it all, fame, money and glory. Lady Gaga is definitely Envious, she has insecurities due to her past but she sucessfully overcome it by revealing her Gaga world. Christina Aguilera is the most obvious, Lust. When she was just starting she was so girly and cute, now she turned into a mature but dirty girl. Her hits, i think, has a subliminal message (like "Come on over baby"). Rihanna is for Wrath because of what happened to her (refer to "Rude Boy"). Mariah is for Gluttony maybe because she's like to devour a lot. And last, Beyonce, the diva, for Greed. Her songs talks about gold-diggin, like "Put a Ring on it", "I need them bags, uh, that money", etc..


I also made by own version of the 7 deadly sins which i already had in mind before i saw the photo above. This is the 7 deadly sins of Cartoon Network where different cartoon characters represent the 7 sins. Bloo is for Pride because he is so arrogant and thinks he's the best imaginary friend ever. Courage is for Sloth because cowardice is also a form of sloth. Princess is for envy because she wants to be a powerpuff girl. Sedusa is for Lust because she uses her sex appeal to lure guys. Mandy is for wrath because it seems that she is always angry. My ever favorite Chowder is for gluttony because his world revovles around food. And last, Eddy for Greed, coz he's, well, greedy. :D


Don't forget to comment! If you have other 7 deadly series/collection in mind, don't hesitate to tell me :D

On Chowder and Paisleys

Have you seen Chowder? Oh that cute stupid thing in Cartoon Network? Well, Chowder it the next cutest thing in TV. He is a squeezy toy inspired character who is an apprentice of a chef named Mung Daal. What I like about the show is the style of animation that they used. They used patterns on the characters' clothing or skin, when a character moves, their patterns do not follow, but display as a "static" background.

I also love how they used stop motion and puppets at the end of the show.
Anyways, I made this character while practicing drawing in Flash. I used one type of brush and created variations of thickness by zooming in and out while drawing. I created the bold outlines first and then zoomed it to created dots and dashes for the details. The design is inspired by paisley patterns. I colored and textured it in photoshop using this amazing victorian textures [link], of course inspired by the show "Chowder". I named it "Ambao" coined by my sister's goddaughter, Mica, which means daga or mouse. (she is afraid of tiny fury creatures.) Click on the image for larger view.
