Hey, don't rush him.  He's still got another 200 characters or so to go.  :P

Speaking of which: holy flurking schnit, Kenneth.  I can't wait to see the finished product.  It looks fantastic so far!

Yes, because it's so much easier to remember characters such as Katrina rather than unimportant ones like Richard Nixon's Head. :P


Anyway, excellent job so far Kif!  I think my favourite has to be the What-If Machine (with 'God').

Woot! More.

This is impressive, I'm looking forward to being able to (with permission) print this out and stick it on my wall.
I cant possibly find any flaws. I'm just amazed by the ability to gather all these characters. Must require a lot of dexterity to be able to place them. I take my hat off to you *bows*

;D

Actually, placing them is easy. In Adobe Photoshop each character is a seperate layer, and can thus be moved around anywhere individually, as well as brought forward or sent behind others. This allows easy and subtle movements at any time.

I hope you're making this in at least 300dpi (and the proper dimensions for a large poster) so you can then have it printed once it's all finished.

I haven't really "set" the dimensions yet, since I have no idea how large this is going to end up. Also, the original Photoshop image is actually three times the size of the image I'm posting here, so what I'm working with is far, far bigger.

I hope you're tracking the progress. :) It will be damn interesting to look at the sequence of the pictures, with more and more characters on each... anyway, great work, Kenneth.

You've certainly got the style in the bag, I'm really looking forward to the whole picture, as of now, I'm pretty sure this is about a fraction of whats to come :D

I must congradulate you already, as this is a difficult project to manage and its already miles ahead of what anybody else has done. :)

Ahhh, that's a lot of work! I suspect, with the new seasons just around the corner, that you'll have to make the canvas size a few miles bigger soon. ;)

This is true. I suggest you hurry up and get this one done before you're swamped with more people to include  ;)

On a related note, very impressive so far.  :D
