View Full Version : Monsters, Inc. natlee75 09-05-2008, 11:20 PM Let me have it! :) This stated as something for my own archival purposes but if enough people like it... Darkman20 09-06-2008, 12:02 AM That looks amazing!:thumbup: It's simple yet effective. I'm actually doing a Pixar collection of my own. Anyways, this is excellent. Good job! Darkman20 P.s. It's good to know my TT actually helped someone:p batboysmatboy 09-06-2008, 12:22 AM I like the look. One thing that I think would add to it, could you put Boo peeking out from behind Scully's left arm (don't know if it's possible). It is really good the way it is, but I was just thinking. natlee75 09-06-2008, 01:29 AM That looks amazing!:thumbup: It's simple yet effective. I'm actually doing a Pixar collection of my own. Anyways, this is excellent. Good job! Darkman20 P.s. It's good to know my TT actually helped someone:p If you hadn't uploaded that title treatment, this whole thing would have been a bust. I just got it last night after spending a couple hours desperately trying to find the title on the Internet (scanning didn't work out so well). Thanks, man! natlee75 09-06-2008, 01:30 AM I like the look. One thing that I think would add to it, could you put Boo peeking out from behind Scully's left arm (don't know if it's possible). It is really good the way it is, but I was just thinking. Hmm... that's an interesting idea, for sure. I'll have to look into that to see if it's feasible. Working with hair is a pain in the ass, though... batboysmatboy 09-06-2008, 01:37 AM Cool. Your vision, your decision. Looks good the way it is. natlee75 09-09-2008, 06:26 AM Which position do you like better? Okay... that didn't sound good... ;) I'm not partial to either one and I'm curious what people think... batboysmatboy 09-09-2008, 07:10 AM Thanks natlee75. Of the two, I like top, over Sully's left sholder. Now here's where I get cheeky. Would it be possible to put Boo in the position I circled? Looks really good. boneapart 09-09-2008, 09:40 AM Excellent work natlee.... natlee75 09-09-2008, 06:31 PM Thanks natlee75. Of the two, I like top, over Sully's left sholder. Now here's where I get cheeky. Would it be possible to put Boo in the position I circled? Looks really good. You are one serious pain in the ass. ;) metamate 09-09-2008, 06:35 PM You are one serious pain in the ass. ;) But he gives excellent back rubs!:p metamate 09-09-2008, 06:38 PM Nat, I'd say you didn't need Billy and Johns names above the front cover. The cover looks better without them. dragonbane 09-09-2008, 06:49 PM looks great so far, the only thing i would say is the legal text at the very bottom i would bring it in away from the sides and the bottom a bit as there in danger of being cut off. top job so far :thumbup: tightline_69 09-09-2008, 07:01 PM Well natlee75, if you had an avitar like cartman, you'd probably be a pain in the arse to:biglaugh: But the cover looks good so far. Keep up the good work Bisky 09-09-2008, 07:25 PM I like the one with boo on the top, looks like she`s on his back without him knowing, which goes well with the film, as he keeps losin her. sleepyhead 09-09-2008, 09:47 PM Looks good m8 - prefer the shoulder one. natlee75 09-09-2008, 11:01 PM Looks good m8 - prefer the shoulder one Yeah... the more I look at it the more I like that one. The one behind the hand looks physically impossible although I guess Sulley is a huge hulking brute and Boo is a small little toddler. When I get home from work tonight I'm going to try to tackle pain in the as- er, batboysmatboy's request. I'm going to have to find a different Boo, though, I think... I believe I saw a full body image somewhere online and there are also some images of her in that makeshift monster disguise. We'll see... natlee75 09-09-2008, 11:02 PM Nat, I'd say you didn't need Billy and Johns names above the front cover. The cover looks better without them. I originally put those in because the top looked a bit empty. I'll hide them and see how they look... batboysmatboy 09-10-2008, 05:12 AM I am editing because at first I was going to act hurt and then I was going to let you know I wasn't really hurt. Screw that. I'm a pain in the ass. I don't mean to be, but I am. I'm anal retentive and sometimes that makes me a pain in the ass. tightline has it right, just look at my avatar. Anyway, when I get to be too much, just say "piss off batboy". I will not take offense. Here is a quote from another post I think says it all: ...at the end of the day you've got to be happy with it also as its your cover Anyway, the cover looks really good the way it is so "piss off batboy". natlee75 09-10-2008, 01:59 PM I am editing because at first I was going to act hurt and then I was going to let you know I wasn't really hurt. Screw that. LOL That would have kept things interesting, buddy! I'm a pain in the ass. Nah, not really. Your first suggestion resulted in a much better cover, I think. It was a bit of work but the result was great as evidenced by other people's reactions. I don't mean to be, but I am. I'm anal retentive and sometimes that makes me a pain in the ass. tightline has it right, just look at my avatar. Tightline... how fitting you would reference someone with a username like that to talk about being anal retentive and a pain in the ass. ;) Anyway, when I get to be too much, just say "piss off batboy". I will not take offense. Why would I do that? Anyway, the cover looks really good the way it is so "piss off batboy". Ah, but isn't that as much thanks to you as it is thanks to me? Cheers mate! batboysmatboy 09-10-2008, 03:38 PM Thanks for the kind words, I really do appreciate them. I designed fliers and tickets, and programs for my Theatre Company and so sometimes I look at something and say “hey this looks great now, but wouldn't it look better this way...”, so I was constantly tweaking right up to the deadline, and after it was “finished”, I would look at it and say “I should have done this, I should have done that...”. I drove myself crazy and now I'm driving you guys crazy. It really was a fine cover when you first posted it. As soon as I saw it, Boo peeked out from behind Sully's hand (maybe subliminally there because his big-ass hand could protect her). I like the one with boo on the top, looks like she`s on his back without him knowing, which goes well with the film, as he keeps losin her. Bisky makes a great point, and it is the better of the two choices. So your cover, your vision, your decision. Thanks for letting me be a part of it. PS: That would have kept things interesting, buddy! I was going to post “I am sorry I am a pain in your ass, If you prefer I will no longer comment on your work” But then I thought, what happens if you take it the wrong way or you post something back that I take the wrong way. It seems we are developing a working friendship here and it would suck if it was derailed by a misunderstood banter. Great cover as is natlee75 09-10-2008, 04:34 PM Thanks for the kind words, I really do appreciate them. Not as much as I appreciate the constructive suggestions!

I drove myself crazy and now I'm driving you guys crazy. That's more than I've done as far as graphic design is concerned. My design work is pretty much all web and user interface related and I'm really more of a usability specialist than a straight up designer. On the other hand, I do have an artistic background, even having won Grand Prize in a Walt Disney sponsored national art contest when I was in fifth grade. It really was a fine cover when you first posted it. I wasn't so convinced of that. I thought it looked a little empty but I couldn't think of anything so I figured I'd post it up here and see what fired back at me. As soon as I saw it, Boo peeked out from behind Sully's hand (maybe subliminally there because his big-ass hand could protect her). Which is exactly what it needed. Maybe not specifically behind the hand (the more I look at that, the more odd it seems to me LOL) but somewhere in the image. It was a bit of work but the results turned out great. Bisky makes a great point, and it is the better of the two choices. So your cover, your vision, your decision. Thanks for letting me be a part of it. Thanks for being a part of it! Design is a collaborative process wherever I work so I tend to see things as more than a one-man show. PS: I was going to post “I am sorry I am a pain in your ass, If you prefer I will no longer comment on your work” But then I thought, what happens if you take it the wrong way or you post something back that I take the wrong way. Meh. I think it would have made things interesting and I think it would be hard to really take that kind of thing seriously in this type of forum. Maybe if you were cursing or insulting but otherwise I think it would have been fine. Try that next time. ;) It seems we are developing a working friendship here and it would suck if it was derailed by a misunderstood banter. Great cover as is BTW -- nice avatar. He's one of my favorite television characters of all time. He figures centrally into my favorite episodes such as the AWESOME-O episode and the Good Times With Weapons episode your avatar is from. Ridd1ck 09-10-2008, 04:36 PM You guys crack me up! natlee75 09-10-2008, 04:39 PM You guys crack me up! We're here all week. Try the steak and make sure to tip the waitress! metamate 09-10-2008, 04:52 PM You guys crack me up! But I keep saying I'm not a real pilot! Ridd1ck 09-10-2008, 05:07 PM Lol!!!!! natlee75 09-10-2008, 05:56 PM Thanks natlee75. Of the two, I like top, over Sully's left sholder. Now here's where I get cheeky. Would it be possible to put Boo in the position I circled? Looks really good. Sorry, buddy. I tried but it just doesn't look right. There isn't a lot of room to work with there. Either Boo's face is covered too much by Sulley's ass, Boo's head is cut off the edge of the cover or Boo is at a strange, unnatural angle. I would consider shrinking Boo but I think the proportion of the existing Boos are pretty good. The only way I could get that to work with the assets I have is if I shrunk Sulley and Mike, too. natlee75 09-10-2008, 05:56 PM Sorry, buddy. I tried but it just doesn't look right.

It sucks because I was going to make a joke about Sulley having Boos coming out the ass but now I can't. :( batboysmatboy 09-11-2008, 05:19 AM I really have to stop going to work. So much goes on when I'm not around. Originally Posted by batboysmatboy Thanks for the kind words, I really do appreciate them. Not as much as I appreciate the constructive suggestions!

But don't have the time right now, but I shall return. Thanks again for the nice words. PS: One more thing: It sucks because I was going to make a joke about Sulley having Boos coming out the ass but now I can't. :( I'm really sorry you couldn't make the joke, but not all of us are lucky enough to have Boo comming out the ass (booyaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) |
