screw the work in progress...


So the thing was to make a creepy/horror themed cereal box cover...so I decided to go with the Creature from the Black Lagoon...because he's often forgotten aboot...and here is what I did...I don't know if I'm happy with it or not...it seems a little bland and crap...I tried to make it look somewhat like the poster...yet a cereal box at the same time...I dunno...eh. Anyway..feel free to critique and tear it apart. I won't hurt you...I'll just cry in the corner like I do every night...oh, and Esther's now eating apples...so that's pretty cool. She's also eating other babies...I'm not sure what that's all about, but I think that's just standard toddler behavior. She has to try out her new teeth. Anyway...don't forget to call your mother and tip your waitress.

i like it, i agree that it is a bit on the bland side, mainly the colors and the font for the "lady bits" part is a bit drab, but i really like it, its funny and of course the creature is ace!

thanks for the comments people!! Crylic, yeah...i was trying to match the font from the poster, but the closest I had was arial..boring...sigh...oh well, maybe if I hadn't procrastinated so long and stuff...I kinda had to rush it a bit...I suck..giggle.

You should put divers up in the corner. And instead of them having knives.. have them with spoons :D

haha cool! i would change the layout of the type a bit. the "free seachimps" is a bit to close to "made from real lady bits". i wouldn't centre it but put it more on the right side. i would also resize(smaller the title "soggy mess" a bit so your illustration would have a bit more breathing space. and i agree with crylic. would be nice if you had the divers with the spoons, hehe
i like the floating cereal a lot.
