Front Page Murals

> On Creamy's Wonderland, the 640 x 500 image you see on the front page is known as a mural, and they are changed whenever the site's front page news is purged after ten updates. The site's old murals can be found here.


Splash Area

COMMENTS: If Quake2 was a real live spectator sport, this is my idea of what it would look like.



CW Turns Five
NAME: CW Turns Five
DATE POSTED: 10-2-2004
COMMENTS: Just another site birthday mural, this time for CW's fifth birthday. I drew the background and the characters separately on paper, scanned the drawings, colored them in Paint Shop Pro, and assembled all the elements together in Adobe Photoshop.



FilePlanet Line
NAME: FilePlanet Line
DATE POSTED: 5-20-2003
COMMENTS: This is my first mural to have 2D sprite characters on a 3D background, and was the toughest mural to complete at the time. The mural is a depiction of what online users do while waiting in line to download a file. I used Animation: Master to create the background. For the characters, I drew their undersketches with a mechanical pencil on letter-sized printing paper. I then used a lighbox and a black Berol pencil to trace the undersketches on a sparate sheet of paper. I then scanned in the cleaned up sprites, colored them in in Paint Shop Pro, then used Adobe Photoshop to compile everything together.



Lonely Birthday Boy
NAME: Lonely Birthday Boy
DATE POSTED: 10-2-2002
COMMENTS: On this website's third birthday, I changed its name from the Infinite World of Wonder to Creamy's Wonderland. I also put up this mural, showing myself alone to celebrate the occasion, accompanied only by stuffed dolls of a few members of the Polycount community.



Birthday Surprise
NAME: Birthday Surprise
DATE POSTED: 10-11-2001
COMMENTS: As a memorial to the second birthday of CW, I came up with this mural, which is a parody of something. The pic depicts me popping out of a birthday cake while Spanky, Soul Ripper, Oinkillune, and Stardancer look on.



Poly Jima
NAME: Poly Jima
DATE POSTED: 04-28-2001
COMMENTS: I began trying my hand at 2D murals with this pic. This mural marks the beginning of an experimental project I began called Follycount, which will be a series of short animations about a Polycount-like 3D gaming artist community. Follycount has gone through many changes so far, and may go through many more until I find a setup that I'm comfortable with. Poly Jima was drawn by hand on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of printing paper with a black Faber-Castell drawing pencil, scanned, re-sampled, and then colored in Paint Shop Pro. From left to right in the pic: Soul Ripper, J Petrol, and vogue13, each may or may not be in whatever final version I come up with.



Primatives
NAME: Primatives
DATE POSTED: 02-18-2001
COMMENTS: All right you screwhead primitaves, listen up. This is my CANDYSTICK, my VWEP's top of the line. You can find this in the Quake2 section. That's right, this sweet baby was made on the Candybox system, with Animation: Master 2000. Retails for around 68 kilobytes, and is 260 patches in weight. It's got a hollow steel body, a black rubber grip, a pearl tip, an ethereal power source in a golden cage, and a hair trigger. YOU GOT THAT!!?



Hosts On Quake
NAME: Hosts On Quake
DATE POSTED: 11-24-2000
COMMENTS: This mural was originally designed as a reference for an assignment in my Drawing Fundamentals class at Bergen Community College. It shows Brandy and me standing on the Quake2 symbol. In the background is the now de-commisioned flag of a city state in the Hour of Need story I abandoned not long after this pic was completed. As a small token of my generosity, I offered Brandy that equal attention she'd been hounding me about since not getting her way in the previous mural. The models and Quake symbol were made with Animation: Master 2000, while the background was done with Paint Shop Pro.



CW's First Birthday
NAME: CW's First Birthday
DATE POSTED: 10-02-2000
COMMENTS: Here's a mural I did in celebration of CW's first birthday. The hardest part with getting Brandy to hold up the candle with me on it. She was adamently against the arrangement, going on and on about us both getting equal attention and blah blah blah. But after a bit of 'convincing', she finally stopped her bitching got with the program. The models, candle, and floor were made with Animation: Master 2000. The background was inspired by Disney's 'The Weekenders', and made with Paint Shop Pro.



Brandy And Her Dad
NAME: Brandy And Her Dad
DATE POSTED: 08-16-2000
COMMENTS: This is the first mural to arrive at CW. It depicts King Creamy holding his magic wand, Candystick, while his adopted elven daughter Brandy Oteigh holds her shotgun, Mr. Bang. I used Animation: Master 2000 to create this image.
