    Posted: 19 March 2006 at 8:38am

hi

i am making this apartment for the joint of a man who has rather induldged himself.

 

I have put in a lot of food but i seem to have alot of empty floor still left and would appreciate any c+c or ideas about what to contain.

 

PS i have had to use another computer to make this post as whenever i try to log in on mine it says i have a cookie problem. If anyone could help me sort this out i would be very pleased thanks

It's really funny and the details are good. It may just be the colors of the floor and walls that make it seem empty. The walls in particular could use some aging too, like he's too busy eating to clean up (door too). If you need another detail, how about a trash bin filled with wrappers, it would add some height and dimension if placed near the corner.

About your cookie problem, try to change your security options in your browser options. Sometimes they keep the pages from creating cookies, that is nothing more then a small text file with a lil bit of information.

About your work, it's really a nice idea, but what about a freezer? Maybe the room could be a kitchen ^^

yeah, or kitchen-esque.

I vote for still-life oil paintings of fruit and cheese and wine on the walls.

and maybe some lurid wallpaper with dancing fruit on it or something?

His right arm looks a bit short, or maybe it's just me. The food looks great.

you've got the food, but where are all the wrappers and stuff from yesterday? it is much too neat for a fat guy with a room full of food.  And yeah, I love Saiklor's idea

A big pile of junk would be nice with flies swirling around it. I also like the idea with the oil paintings and the sleeping bag.

No offense meant Saikor. I loved your picture/wallpaper idea but hated the maid one. It was an attempt at saying that with humor, guess I failed

Hi sorry i havent updated but ive been realy quite busy lol.

As for the pic i have added some pics on teh wall and im working on a pile of rubbish as i speak lol. Heres what the pic looks like at the moment so keep up the great C+C guys.

EDIT:

Well it turned out the bin wasnt working to well but then i was randomly drawing and i came up witht he idea that the guy( or his wife lol) was too fat he broke the floor!. Then voila- here was the outcome-

Obviuously there is still abit of space to fill and im still looking for ideas lol but what do u think of this idea?

Yes, you need shadows everywhere. I would now consider getting rid of all the black outlining on the room itself (don't forget where the floor meets the walls. Make the door a darker color so the pizza box in the mail slot stands out too.

It looks great, but I'd change the color of the door. Make it "pop" a bit more, without the black outlines.
