Description I'm not gonna go longer then a week without posting one of these if I can help it. also in case your wondering how I choose what style to do next, I've been using an online randomizer and picking them by number, that way even I don't know whats coming next. so Imagine my horror when it landed on #15 so early into the challenge - [link]

Todays Victim: Ralph Bakshi - An animator whose very near and dear to my heart, he was one of the front runners who got their foot in the door to show that cartoons aren't just for kiddies. I adore all of his movies (except for wizards and lord of the rings which I have yet to see) and I have to thank google and youtube for helping poor kids see really fucking obscure movies.

About the picture: My own art style is already so influenced by Bakshi how the hell could I make this work? the answer- diligent research! so like the McCracken challenge this took awhile to do. I dove into my photo collection where I have a gallery of his art and I re-watched 2 of his movies to get the feel just right. everything he does is fascinating he puts folds everywhere, even in flesh and most people don't realize they belong there too. I personally think this is one of the few styles where Mack translated better in it then Candy did. Mack wishes he was that barrel chested and Candy looks like something you'd pick up on the corner. (then again most of the women in Bakshi films are found on corners) I am not as pleased with this as I could have been but it was still a blast to do and work with new techniques! I inked the entire thing with a 3.0 tipped micron pen, fucking Bakshi and his thin ass line art.

but it's another one of those things where what I think about it doesn't matter it's what YOU the people think if it translated well into his style or not that does

Neato, it reminds me of Hey Good Lookin', and Heavy Traffic. Speaking of Bakshi--is it weird to think that maybe Matt Groening got his style from him? The dad in Heavy Traffic (Angelo?) looks like Homer. o>O I know Matt says that he drew like that because he tried to draw and pay attention in class at the same time, but, dude, the similarities.

Hmm. Looks more R. Crumb than Bakshi to me, but than again, Bakshi DID work on a movie of Fritz the Cat (which sadly Crumb said that it sucked).

Candy2021 In reply to AlbinoTanuki [2010-08-09 04:05:41 +0000 UTC]

I'm very aware.

the influence for this was mostly Bakshi's movie "hey good lookin'" which to the extent of my knowledge R.crumb had nothing to do with.

but thanks a ton for telling me stuff I already know and nothing about the art work. I appreciate it ever so much.

That's a really interesting style! I like the female anatomy cause it's much more natural than most other styles. Very well done! -Kel

OMG, I really love Bakshi, and you did his style so well! I really love how both Mack and Candy translate into it, and the linework is definitely like his. xD I'm impressed! I also love Candy's butt a lot. XD Looks ace!

Candy2021 In reply to kd8lmno [2008-05-15 01:36:12 +0000 UTC]

I know right? he was uch a stepping stone for adult animation and it wa an honour to try to walk a mile in his shoes.

the butt was my favorite part to do!

Drivingblind666 [2008-05-13 23:34:42 +0000 UTC]

Wow, Bakshi has a very interesting style, especially with women. I like their big butts and breasts, it's very attractive in a strange way. (probroly because I love the boob-age too ) I also like the detail in Candy's clothing and her pretty face.
Mack looks very.. interesting with the body shape and all. I do like his eyes and face shape though. Very cool looking.

Nice style choice! Great job capturing it! I can't wait to see more soon!

Awesome... you make me want to try this sometimes

You do them so well, worthy to mention is that this is also a good practice for your own skills (because we all have to admit that we make our own style from bits of other styles we liked to mix)

I love how candy looks there.

Candy2021 In reply to Sake906 [2008-05-12 01:08:41 +0000 UTC]

It really is a lot of fun--until you get to a style you can't STAND, but you have to do it becuase your determined to finish the list.

but even that is fun becuase your doing a style your unfamiliar with XD

you should totally go for it it's a blast and great practice as you said. I think theres at least 3 other artists on my list whom I'm influences from.

Thanks Sakey buns <3

ShivaTheSarcastic [2008-05-09 00:51:37 +0000 UTC]

Excellent drawing. Bakshi is one of my favorite directors. I think you'll like "Wizards", but I'm not too sure about "LOTR". That movie I think is an aquired taste. Great work.

MousyLee [2008-05-09 00:37:56 +0000 UTC]

Although I am completely in the dark about this style and can't tell you how well I think it compares to the original style, I still think it looks really good~

This one is my favorite, so far. ^_^

Chickengirl [2008-05-08 20:45:55 +0000 UTC]

i've only seen clips of his explicit movies like Fritz the Cat..but i saw a furry porn scene so i'm hesitant about seeing the rest of the movie.. xD... and then i've seen some of Heavy Traffic...but his LOTR movies are uh...not so great..and he relied too much on rotoscoping so you aren't really missing out on too much...

but as for your drawing you captured the style quite well! i think Candy always comes out looking really great in all of them.
