The idea's fairly self-explanatory: Lego*1 designs of slightly inappropriate subject matter. Not wholly inappropriate, that'd just be wrong. Just the kind of thing they make these toys of, but not these toys.
The kind of thing where you wouldn't really want your five-year-old watching the source material...
Cute, aren't they?
Here are some wallpapers for you...

You're very welcome. One more, coming soon*2... :)
Previous Entries: *1 Or "Generic/Compatible Interlocking Building Block System Toys". Your choice, really. You know what I'm talking about, anyway.
*2 Yeah, I know it's taken a year and a half to post part two. Look, I've got films to watch, haven't I? What do you want?

Hello. It's here.
Part three of my Bowling For Soup art-trilogy-thing.
You can see part one here, and part two here.
This is what they've been building towards.
Remember last year when I did the picture of Resident Elvis, and I said it was a test-run for a bigger project? This was it. It's been laying dormant in my brain for a couple of years now, and was finally resuscitated by ZomBeadle.

So, obviously you get the vibe I'm going for this time around, less GTA, more TWD. Originally, Jaret was going to be a priest holding a bible in one hand and a gun in the other, but I soon realised that a figure dressed in black wasn't going to stand out against the desaturated zombies. Thus Mr. Reddick became a cop.

I'm very happy with how these have turned out, for now anyway. In a couple of years I'll probably look at them and roll my eyes at the techniques I've used, but if future-me has proved anything, it's that he's an idiot. He can't appreciate the moment. That said, past-me is also an idiot who spends too much time appreciating the moment. Only *I* am great.
What's that? My working-out? This is the digital-age, we don't have... oh.
Even in 2012, we're still using "pens". I know, crazy.
This time round, each figure starts as a line-drawing, capturing the key details, and then each area has a base-colour and one highlight and lowlight. It leads to some sharp gradations of colour, but looks much cleaner.
As before, they've been hand-vectored in CorelDraw.
Yes, I am good to you, I know.
Below for wallpaper-displays for your various modern devices. Images open in a new window, or you can right-click and save-as.
If I've missed out an important size/format, give me a shout and I'll sort it.
By all means share these around etc, but leave the webside idents on the images and credit me where possible, please. You know it makes sense.
As usual, feel free to leave lovely words in the comment-box below, I appreciate those.
Oh, and you're very welcome.

@LauraSparling - That's a lot more creepy a) Now he's dead, b) Having you singing it, c) a & b.
@MightyBlackout ZOMBEADLE
@LauraSparling @MightyBlackout HAHAHA! Oh how I love thee, Laura!
@Donna_Gallers @MightyBlackout Ha! God, though, imagine a zombie Beadle coming after you. *shudders*
@LauraSparling - Oh, *yes*! Springing out of a bin dressed as a traffic warden and biting someone's face. What a card! #ZomBeadle
@MightyBlackout I want this to happen.
@LauraSparling @MightyBlackout Jesus, that's enough to give me nightmares!
@LauraSparling @Donna_Gallers He uses his withered hand to create the optical illusion that he's further away. More withered now, obviously.
@MightyBlackout @Donna_Gallers *snortles*
@LauraSparling @MightyBlackout good enough reason to bring him back.
@MightyBlackout @Donna_Gallers This is rad. I want this as a TV movie. I'm thinking Channel 4.
@LauraSparling @MightyBlackout Charlie Brooker/ Zombie Big Bro style.
@Donna_Gallers @MightyBlackout Yes. Exactly like Dead Set.
@LauraSparling @MightyBlackout that's it, couldn't think of the name!
@MightyBlackout @Donna_Gallers *closes eyes and nods* Boom. This is gonna be massive. (Unlike Zombeadle's death paw.)
@LauraSparling @Donna_Gallers - With the tagline "...the final joke is on humanity" #ZomBeadle
@Donna_Gallers @LauraSparling - When there's no more room in Hell, Beadle will walk the earth... #YoudBetterWatchOutBeadlesUndead
@LauraSparling @MightyBlackout Question, if he happens to, you know, accidentally bite someone, does that create another #Zombeadle?
@Donna_Gallers @LauraSparling - Yes. A worldwide army of reanimated pranksters all wearing false beards over their decomposing beards...
@MightyBlackout @LauraSparling Sweet Jesus.
@Donna_Gallers @LauraSparling Yep, he's already got a beard, so the incubation period would be shorter for him. One hand shrinks & he wakes.
@MightyBlackout @Donna_Gallers Write this down. Write. It. Down
…and thus it begins. A TV series in October 2012, with tie-in novels and comics, and a full-length film planned for third-quarter 2013. Who says social-networking's a waste of time, eh?
