Waternoose's Factory for Imaginary Monsters! (cue dinky piano theme)

I couldn't help but notice that the concept, design and creatures of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends have more than a coincidental resemblance to Monsters, Inc.! Both shows are about human kids thinking up imaginary creatures, and rules for the world the creatures live in, isolated from the kids. The main differance is that in Foster's, everyone knows what the creatures are really like, and live and speak with them on a daily basis.

I don't think the show will be even a little popular, but I was intrigued by the "new" animation technique used for the show. Will flash cartons replace the traditionally drawn ones?

Looks very cute, like the illustrations in little kids' books.

well done. you've definately succesfully simulated the look of the show and it's a nice look piece also. the dark black lines on uh..the big blue one(excuse my poor memory) are rubbing me the wrong way. i wish maybe they were a little thicker and less sharp, perhaps? they look like they're just drawn overtop on him. The other two look great though

I overlayed the dark lines with a darker shade of that blue, so they wouldn't pop out so much. I also made the ends of the lines thinner for width variety. I haven't uploaded the revised pic, though.

Just noticed a typo in my artists' description! "Flash cartons"?!

Haha, aaw, thats so cute. Awesome style here - looks cut out from paper. Yeah, I hope flash cartoons dont replace normal ones, but I mean, I spose that's like a person with a filing job a couple years ago saying 'I hope computers dont replace humans doing filing!'

But I think that they might develop better and more cost effective ways of doing tradtional cartoons. Like, I've noticed some cartoon serieses using 3D cell shading, so I think that might be where the industry's heading.

That's interesting, the way they bear such a resemblance...I'm assuming this is a Disney and/or Pixar carton? I mean cartoon? I think my favorite part about the blue monster is his hand, how it defines such form even though it's not actually shaded...That's something I find quite hard to accomplish. Typo and all, I like what you've done with this picture. The cut and paste tone is really nice, to me! :D

Nope, Foster's completely unrelated to Pixar. It's the new show created by Craig McCracken (PPG), on Cartoon Network. :P It is a coincidence they have so much in common, but those similarities are driving me crazy!
