fanart (now finished (I think))

I tried something different with this one, combining a hand-painted scene with a photoshopped background. It didn't end up at all the way I intended... at some point it took a sharp turn and I just kinda went with it. The result is possibly a bit heavy on the FX, and boy, next time I'll go back to drawing and painting the background the traditional way because it's about thirty times faster. But I like it.

i liked the drawing + photoshop background, the effect looks unusual and interesting. And the subject itself is pretty cool. The expression on Rodney's face as his leg is humped by the squirrel-monkey-from-hell is priceless

I think so, too. I was actually surprised how well it blends. At first it didn't mesh at all, it was only when - just for fun - I ran my artwork through the same filter as the screencap that it suddenly clicked into place. An interesting experiment, in any case.
