DeviantArt Saturday: Oh.. FREAKOUT!

So I just got Freakazoid on DVD not too long ago. I believe I mentioned that before. I then had the sudden random thought (you know, I've never actually tried looking up Freakazoid fanart), and boy what a haul I found. I'm amazed that Freakazoid really DOES have quite the cult fanbase. I mean it's nothing new to see various references here or there, but man, I tell you, I was digging through Deviantart with such glee. Picking around just 5 (to make it easy for me to type out, but at the same time, challenge myself into finding the best possible) was hard.

I'm going to start off with a real bang here:



Here's various entries drawn by Udon artist Jeffrey Cruz (individual pics clickable). He also made an AMAZING little comic entry for ComicCon. I can actually see Paul Rugg voicing this scene. Also check out this "movie poster" he did back in 2005. I find the really fat lips kinda freaky, but boy can I imagine a Freakazoid movie. This counts as one entry BTW :p


One thing I was surprised at in my Freaky Art search, was just how damn popular Candlejack was, there's actually qu

...

Okay back, see apparently there's this a popular internet meme that's really starting to fire up where people will cut off their posts simply by saying his name. Because of this, he has quite a selection of art available on DA. It was rather surprising.



Of course, just because this is a "Freakazoid" entry, doesn't mean I'm sticking with just the titular character. Next to big man himself, there's freakin' Cosgrove. Seriously, the man takes crap from NO ONE! I was sad to see him not as popular as I would've liked. I did see this though.






I say "Good for Me" a lot. And I think that phrase is unique to this series. So yeah. This explains things a bit better.





Not only could I imagine Paul Rugg saying this, but I could GUARANTEE YOU, that if Freakazoid was still on the air, they'd have a full fledged Naruto parody somewhere with Freakazoid running around tormenting the Naruto cast. BELIEVE IT!

Final verdict: Like I said Freakazoid art is good stuff. Granted a large portion consisted of doodles and not some of the stuff here. But there's no disturbing imagery either. I had a TON of images I had to narrow down. Nothing but good stuff for the freak.
