E3 Mysteries fan art

Patrick seemed really hyped about GiantBomb's theme this year being "Solving The E3 Mysteries", and I also thought that was funny.

Someone made some fanart and I got really itchy about the idea of them as like a 50s children's book, and I thought "I better fucking get this down before someone else comes up with it first!!!"

Tell me how to improve it if you have any suggestions, cos I don't wanna send these guys any fanart that doesn't look like them or is drawn bad. I'm havin trouble getting Jeff to look like jeff, and I think I'm gonna do Brad's outfit again to make him look more vintage. I'm thinking about going in Photoshop and going over it as a painting, and making it look more legit and have like spooky rim lighting and yknow... cos vector art doesn't really... aaahh maybe it's fine...

Trivia: It had this sticker, but I took it off cos I thought it was distracting. Also Patrick used to look like this but I changed him cos I thought I could be nicer. Oh and an alternate title was this.

Amazing!

Now this needs a Kickstarter. :)

I picked the right time to wander back into the Off-Topic forum.

Amazing. Well done. Beautiful. Head shot. Amazing.

...sorry about that.

But that is pretty amazing, I'm not so sure about the background though, nothing about it really says E3...

With that said though, this could (or should perhaps) easily be the official E3 2012 Giant Bomb poster.

Looks great. The only thing that sticks out to me is Patricks chin is pretty big, other than that it looks fine.

That's fucking perfect

Nailed it. The 50s-style short shorts and polo shirts with sweaters are perfect.

That's excellent!

Jeff's hair, just change the color and no need for those lines.

this is like a mix of "Spike and Suzy" and "Tintin" i love it!

Where is Adam Sessler tough?

Or is that the mystery?!

You've never read a choose your own adventure book have you? The background is perfect

Nah I think it'd be funnier if the background was the LA convention centre, just with regular people walking in and out of it.

I just didn't spend long looking for a picture.

Awesome idea, it looks really cool. The one thing that looks off to me is the flare from the flashlight. I think you could remove it or soften it. You could also apply a filter in photoshop to make it look done with tradiitonal media if you don't feel like painting the whole thing digitally.

That's really awesome! Nice work, duder!

Priceless. I'm pissed off that I didn't think to make one of these! :D

Nicely done.

Jinkies!

Really, really nice.

Since you asked for suggestions: Maybe a condensed sans-serif font for the "Adventure Bunch Five" part? It's a little equal in hierarchy to the "Electronic Three" main title. Maybe go with a book cover format? Something fun could be done with the author's name.

Yeah I kind of already tried to. Don't know if Ryan and Jeff's poses LOOK FAMILIAR or anything!!! but then I drew the other characters and it got too wide with all the stuff I had to squeeze on. so I was like aaaaa... this'll do. I'm not tryina hit perfect parody or anything, the main thing is that the joke is there.

You're a god damn hero.

This is great!

This is amazing.

Needs Adam Sessler in some shape or form... maybe not himself, but... something...

I will pay money to see someone write this.

Adam Sessler just re-tweeted my link to this.

He is aware of this masterpiece.

The pink safety helmet on Brad is a nice touch.

This is most excellent, love it!

If only I had the words to properly convey my emotions....

This is so good! Makes me wish I could draw (read: had the patience to get good at drawing).

Nice

Those boys are so hardy.

holy crap! well done!

much better than the one I did, which I will now delete out of shame :)

This is great :)

Maybe Adam can have his own Nancy Drew type book?

PATRICK LIKES THIS, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Audiobook version voiced by Brad Shoemaker.

EDIT: Him or Morgan Freeman.

So, so good. Great work man.

So this has to be the splash screen for all of the E3 videos right? RIGHT?

E3 2012 Site theme, here we go.

Just came in here to post how awesome this is. I really hope that GB uses this as their theme this year, too fucking good not to

This is fucking gold. It has to be part of the E3 theme this year!

This has to be the E3 podcast bumper image for the livestream.

(secret hope)

(also Im not even an artist, Im an animator, juuuust sayin)

(nah I bet they'll come up with something way funnier and nuttier- they'll probably ACTUALLY DRESS UP as the hardy boys, right?)

@I_smell: As an artist I'm really critical of other's artwork. But that is legitimately great.

Flawless victory. Great job, duder!

Someone needs to be dressed up as Velma from Scooby-Doo. I'm thinking Ryan.

Bravo Sir!

Wow… Great job man!

I love it.

I'm demanding my sub fee back if GB doesn't use this as their E3 image this season. You're a God among men, @I_smell
