Supraholic Cartoon

[Supraholic]

I hope this is the right section for this.

Anyways, I had a guy do a cartoon for my site supraholics.com. What do you think?




A little background on the toon...

Picture this: I guy drinks an entire can of beer/energy drink, etc, and is trying to get the last few drops out of the can so he furthers the can away from his mouth and squeezes the can, crushing it, to try and get the las drop out...but instead of a can is all 4 gens Toyota Supras in his hand.

I get it but don't at the same time......

[Supraholic]

ummm, OK... What does that mean??? lol

I only see three cars...

But I'm no Supra buff so i dunno what all 4 'Gens' are considered.

Cool concept though

definitely a cool idea. I'm trying to think of a way to convey your idea a bit better rather than having to explain it to people.

Is probably easier if you are more familiar with Supras, but yeah, the cartoon is supposed to project an addiction to the car.

Cool cartoon. Why is this in the photography section?

I have an idea for ya, supra holic kinda like alcoholic. I know thats what you were aiming for, but how about a guy at a bar with supra's looking like beer cans or something, or a guy on the couch. I could try and draw it up for you, unless you like that guys style. Or you could do it simple and just have a guy standing in front of a lot of supra's.

interesting way of putting it.. its creative i give u that..

I got it right away. I feel the cartoonist did a good job conveying your idea plus I like the drawing itself. There are 2 areas that I think do need work.

First, the hand in the foreground. Looks out of proportion/smaller than the hand holding the cars.

Second, the cars need work. The front (that is the front right?) of the Mk1 needs a bit more detail. The Mk2 is too warped. I get that he's squeezing the juice out of the cars but the front and wheels just look too deformed. Also the Mk2 and Mk3 fronts are so similar that its hard for people that don't really know the cars to tell them apart. Maybe having the lights up on the Mk2 will add a bit more to differentiate the cars.

Overall I like it. I like the character design and the little sparks of electricity look cool.

One last thing now that I look back before finishing the post. Tell the cartoonist to clean up the outline a bit. Looks very jagged around the arms.

Edit: I forgot to mention this is the wrong section. Someone move this into the Gallery :P

i like it.

the fore ground hand is a bit off. The wrist needs to thin out more as it gets closer to the hand. (forced perspective)
The eyes look like they are looking past the cars (aka can of supra)
The jagged lines bother me around the hands and arms too. mainly because the are smooth around the face?
