Did you know that Doug TenNapel was originally going to give the VeggieTales characters arms and legs?
yknow i think i kinda get why they're limbless now. the limbs and clothes make them look really weird looking and less obviously vegetables
I did not
>>151813458It's also just way easier to model round objects and leave it at that than give them any extra details besides a face or maybe some silly accessories like hats and monocles
>>151813414Is he still seething about Phil Vischer?
>>151816240Doug most of his money seething now.
>>151813414>Good cartooning veteran>Make great art for few video game series in the 90s>Have your funny cat show killed by nick because le bongebob>Never make another show again, never work in games again (except armikrog) >Never get Terry S. Taylor to do acapella again>Talent wasted on a show only the most autistic people on earth pretend is suitable for anyone but children who aren't allowed to watch them hateful fart cartoons and comics, alienating your former coworkers, and fucking NFTs. Shit angers me so much. Look, I appreciate people spreading the word of the lord as much as the next guy, but veggietales is a series that survives off direct to dvd movies. It is the lamest fucking franchise ever devised. The guy was one of my favorites growing up and it's disappointing to watch him turn into the drunk uncle of the cartoon industry.
>>151816240>seethes about Phil Vischer>is pals with problematic people like Doug Wilson and Nick Rekieta
>>151816881RepostingI wouldn't be surprised that past the fundie stuff (which he always had even before he went nuts), he's likely just jaded.Doug TenNapel has always been a critical darling and he's been praised by multiple artists for his versality as a renaissance man across various mediums and art formsHowever>His most well known and most overrated creation, Earthworm Jim, is a dead franchise he doesn't own>Catscratch got cancelled after one season>His live action Mothman film got canned and was reportedly a production disaster>Neverhood sold poorly in spite of its acclaim (still got a spin-off though)>Various film deals meant to adapt his works failed to be finalized>Armikrog didn't live up to expectationsAnd most damning of all>The best thing he's good at, comics, never earned him mainstream popularity. He was an underground darling and stayed that way.>IIRC he outright said most people at conventions would just ignore him or that only little kids bothered to get anything drawn by him.
Remember that time larry killed the drawn together cast, that sure was something. South park was so damaging to comedy in the early 2000s. So much stuff was funnier in the 90s trying to be simpsons and then Family guy started trying to be south park and then everyone tried being either south park of family guy and adult animation has only just barely recovered.
