I love Moose Baby, but he isn't nearly as easy to draw in this style than, say, the Ice Cream Bunny. But I'm far from finished, so he still might make it in. If I can find a way to fit him in organically, like in the background or something, I'll definitely include him.

My brother suggested Ned Blandford from Improve Your Pronunciation, but I told him that that might be a bit of a stretch even for the hardcore RiffTrax fans to immediately identify.

Here is the complete Round 3. I took into account the notes given about Bella. I also drew Moosebaby as best I could to make it look consistent with the other figures as possible. I'm probably gonna make more new characters as I continue to fine tune the concept, but only 13 will make the final cut when the poster is completed. For now, though, I hope you guys like these.

These turned out way better than the batch above, I think.

:facepalm: How could we forget Torgo?! I suppose my mind was stuck in MST3K there, forgetting the RT version of it.  I love that Jacob is shirtless. :lol:  Good work, look forward to the future updates on this!

Thanks. I'm pretty sure this won't be The Last Supper anymore, as I want to include as many of the characters I've drawn as possible. I'm not happy with how Vincent Price or Moosebaby turned out, so I'll either redraw them or leave them off all together. I like how Torgo and Jacob turned out, so I'm glad to see you like them :)

Probably a good move. Using the Last Supper would probably invoke a lot of interpretations depending on who you cast as Jesus, Judas, Mark, Matthew, Luke, and Ringo (He was an Apostle, right?)  Which is probably a headache you don't need. ;)

If you were feeling REALLY bold you could select a character (or characters) from all of their VODs, shorts and RTs to make into one giant collage of characters for people to examine to try and figure out who is who (like one's I've seen in the past using the entire Simpsons universe of characters and another using a plethora of robots from PC.)  Granted, though, such a thing would, indeed, be quite the undertaking and maybe in some cases a challenge to come up with a character you make identifiable in this style of artwork.   Maybe in such a collage using the Blockbuster Riffs wouldn't be entirely necessary aside from using the "essential" ones (like Twilight) as some of them are, arguably, riffs on "good movies" done pretty much to either please fans or just for fun, others not likely to have a notable or distinctive enough character in it to render.

Also, again, it'd be an undertaking considering the volume of Riffs done by the guys, the shorts alone would be a challenge.

It's your project, though, man. Keep up the good work and whatever you settle on, I'm sure, will be great.

I actually quite like moose baby and pendragon (though maybe I wouldn't have recognized the latter without his name labeled below--not sure).

I'm not going to stop drawing new characters, because I rather like the exercise, but I decided to go ahead and choose from the figures I have already drawn and to actually put together the "Last Supper" poster. This is my second Last Supper poster like this, the first one being for The Boys at the Bar, but I think the two stand apart and on their own merits.

I particularly like that the birds in the Birdemic poster look better than the ones in the movie.


Bob

Can we the Boys at the Bar sometime?

Nice....
