Aww, that is nice of Craig. XD

LMAO! Craig described Wilt as a "lollipop"! XDD I thought that was unexpected, but still funny. XDD

Anyone else see the ADs for this?

No, but I'd be interested in seeing the ads. :D

I just saw him draw Mac and Bloo, but I'm sorry I didn't record it.

I am going to be taping the marathon on Thanksgiving so any good ads, including these, I should be able to get.

I saw him draw Mac and Bloo, too! He called Bloo a thumb...8D

Sparky

I recorded the Wilt one but I'm having trouble convincing my computer to let me turn it into an uploadable file. :jk: I'm working on it.

I did not see any of them, yet. I will be on the lookout. :)

I have no idea what this is all about, but I'm more than a little intrigued. Somebody fill me in? :)

Sparky

New bumpers on CN starring Craig, probably in one of his cubicles at CN, showing us how to draw various characters. Craig's such a quiet (seeming) guy I wouldn't have expected him to do anything like this, so its cool that he did. :)

That is cool. Can't wait to see it! :D

What?! Why didn't I get to see these?! I could use this information! Anyone planning to record it?

Craig Draws Wilt (http://www.filelodge.com/files/room46/1316846/drawwilt.wmv)

(sorry for the crappy vid quality - it has to do with my VCR)

"He's like, a collapsed lollipop," LOL!! XDD

"His eye's like another lollipop, but his wonky eye's like a...broken lollipop," It looks more like a lightening bolt to me. XD

"-Little arm-" LOL! Wilt's got a long arm, and a LITTLE one. XDD

"-Tear-drop shaped body-" I KNEW IT!

"-Giant feet, which are kinda like half circles," Or GIHUGEIC. XDD

Aww, but he didn't say anything about what those "lobes" on the sides of his face were...XDDD

kageri

Aww, but he didn't say anything about what those "lobes" on the sides of his face were...XDDD

But he did call the things on them "stitches", so at least that's cleared up.

Did he? (I can't get the video to work on crappy cpu) That's cool. At least that proves the stitches aren't discolored scars or something of the like. Now it will be even more interesting to see how they are going to explain that in the show, why he still has stitches all these years later.

11-18-2006, 07:49 PM

The file won't even work for me.

Sorry, working now.

. . um. Does it cut out for anyone else?

Carlaz

11-18-2006, 08:04 PM

Sparky, thank-you! :) You're the *best*! :D

Well, it's working, but it said something about a network error, so it can't be played.:( I'll just wait until it can work.

The "Lollipop" things on Wilt sound so funny!8D I wish I could see it!

Can somebody upload it on YouTube?

I saw how to draw Ed earlier today.

I'd be interested in seeing how Coco is drawn; she strikes me as more of a challenge than the rest of the characters.

She is a bird-airplane-plant thing! There has to be some kind of trick to it.:frankiesmile:

*is jealous at Craig's drawing skills*

Really, wtf. He can draw _that_ any time he wants without any sample? He ROCKS.

You know I can't get this to play. All I get is an ad on the WMV player and this is both on my cpu at home and at work. What gives?

That happened to me when I clicked "save as", but when I let it stream it worked.

Sparky

11-20-2006, 01:54 PM

I've been told there is an Ed one of these, so there's most likely a Coco one as well!

(Sorry you guys are having trouble playing the clip. :'( )

"C" the Dragon

11-20-2006, 04:57 PM

No problem, Sparky. And I finally saw the clip! I like it! And the best part is that they showed a few clips of Wilt in GWH!:D And if you listen and payed attention very carefully, I think you can hear Craig say something about Wilt's lobes.

Don't feel bad, Sparky! :) I couldn't see it the first time I clicked on the link, but, then I turned off my pop up blocker & I could see it just fine. :bloogrin

I saw this! He was like "Mac is like... a square..." And I was like "NO... REALLY?" but anyways, XD I did see it. It was a cute drawing!

I saw these yesterday! I tried drawing Mac and Bloo. Bloo looked fine but Mac looked like a weirdo rockstar. XD

I can see the video, but I have no volume. :(

*shrinks* My Windows Media Player was muted, so, now, I can hear the audio. :P

Is this basically just another "Foster's 5"-only thing? Because I'd REALLY like to know how to draw Frankie...

Sparky

11-21-2006, 09:37 PM

I am under the impression from what I've heard about these bumpers that there is no Frankie one. I could be wrong (that'd be nice), but I don't think so.

Seems like it, I only need Mac, Eduardo & Goo. I can draw Bloo (Who can't?), Wilt, Coco, Cheese, Frankie & Madame Foster. I can draw Herriman a little bit.
Frankie's easy if you practice, just print out a good picture of her & try to draw her body first then her head, finally the hair. Mac's hard as crap though, mainly his head.

kageri

11-22-2006, 12:34 PM

I can draw Bloo (Who can't?)

That's what I thought when I drew him for the first time. Do not underestimate Bloo's hardness-to-drawness.

Sparky

11-22-2006, 01:51 PM

Bloo is SO not easy to draw. :P

Cassini90125

11-22-2006, 03:16 PM

Eh, he's not so tough:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/Bloo001.jpg

Done with Paint. Took about 10 minutes. Not my best work, but what the heck. :bloocross:

Sparky

11-22-2006, 03:43 PM

Try it freehand. :) Not the same as using shape tools in a computer program.

kageri

Try it freehand. :) Not the same as using shape tools in a computer program.

The eyes you can do with a shape tool, but he doesn't have ears or an actual head or anything, so it's hard to make his face be in proportion and in the right place on his body.

Yes. And Bloo does look like a thumb. :bloogrin

I still haven't seen the other clips, besides the Wilt one. Hopefully, they will be seen on Thanksgiving. :)

Sparky

11-22-2006, 11:16 PM

Yeah my brother is recording the entire marathon for me, so I can upload a lot of commercials and bumpers, I'm sure. :)

That's awesome. I'm sure they'll repeat it over and over all today.
Happy Thanksgiving all!

Invader Bloo

11-24-2006, 12:49 PM

The only one I ever seen is the one when he's drawing all teh characters together. I did see an Ed one & Mac/Bloo one a couple days ago.

Sparky

11-24-2006, 01:35 PM

Here is Craig drawing Eduardo (http://www.filelodge.com/files/room46/1316846/drawed.wmv).

I never saw a 'How to Draw Coco' ad. :( The only thing I heard Craig say about Coco was that her beak was just a bunch of scribbles and that her eyes were like the coconuts on a palm tree (hence the head being a palm tree).

Sparky

11-24-2006, 08:24 PM

There's a Coco one. Someone I know saw it. There's a Mac, a Wilt, a Bloo, an Ed, a Coco, and then one with all of them together, using the same audio from the individual ones cropped down shorter and then combined as he draws each one.

Wow thanks Sparky, I've been meaning to try fanart for a long time but I didn't really know where to start. Now I can take a few pointers from Craig himself. ;)

Oh wow those are great!

Too bad they seem to skip out on all those good bits on the Europe CN :(
