Description
It took me a great deal of self-control not to put a speech balloon for Randall that says: "You look like a coffee bean, Fungus!"I imagine Randall turning into a coffee colored when he's drinking caffeine drinks, haha! And he probably sees everything brown when he's having a coffee break...I mean, look at all those coffee mugs!
You'll find this piece also on my tumblr: [link] (if you have a tumblr, follow me there please!
) Lately, I have been interested to draw/paint stuff with only few colors. I really recommend you to try it too, it's a really good exercise for making more balanced colorings and also getting better with different shades of the same color!
At first I considered to paint this with actual coffee but then again, I have so new watercolors that I just wanted to play with them!Randall and Fungus (c) Disney Pixar. This is caffeined fan art!8D (though I'm totally a tea person myself!)

OOoo, thank you so much!
Haha, he just has to be a coffee addict, considering his overtime working and all that in MI!:'D His caffeine addiction wouldn't be so bad if he had only two arms, lol!

oh the pleasure is all mine, keep up the fantastic work!
haha well if i remember correctly on the original storyboards for MI Randall was supposed to be a coffee addict! I believe it to be canon xD

Aww, thanks! You too!! I'm actually about to post a new MU pic!xD It's really random...again xD
THEN IT'S CANON if GODS err, I mean writers/animators told that! :'D Wow, that's so epic! I really would have enjoyed to see him sipping his coffee all the time in MI in some random parts of the films...like in the toilet scene or in the grand door chasing scene, haha! :'D (Seriously, some Disney bad guy's ending should be caused by his/her caffeine addiction! That would make all in the audience laugh! I can see it so clearly now! That would be so hilarious character trait for a villain!)

yeah I have a feeling that maybe they would have incorporated (oops see what I did there...hah) if there was more time. It just seems like one of those cute things that went to the wayside!
haha! yeah that would be funny xD death by caffeine, truly the most noble/painful way to go! xD

Haha, classy pun noticed! xD Oh noes, now I started to imagine all Disney bad guys as coffee junkies! Like Hades, Cruella de Vil, Scar and Jafar for instance!

Awesome. I love it! Randall's eyes really stand out too since they're the only thing you made a different colour.
Personally I never drink coffee. I tried it once and hated it. lol. I mean I might like it more if I tried to add some other stuff into it....but then it'd probably be less healthy. I prefer tea instead, which I don't need to add anything to in order to like.
My sister actually used to call me "caffeine" as a kid though because my name is Kathleen and she couldn't pronounce the middle part of my name properly.

Thank you!!!
I don't drink coffee either, it just taste too strong and bitter...some special coffee drinks like café mocha etc is all right but still, coffee is jus too much for my system!xD I love tea though! (I'm drinking it right now too, lol!xD)I'm a tea freak!
Hahaha, how precious nickname! Kathleen and Caffeine sound a little bit same! One teacher called me "Kaakku" (which is a Finnish word for cake though usually it's written with just one "a") since my real name is Kaarina

Yeah true. I am addicted to ice caps from Tim Hortons and those are a kind of coffee....but in general I'm not a coffee person. I prefer tea. Although I'm not as crazy about it as my sister because I don't think there is a day when my sister doesn't drink tea where as I don't drink it every single day.
Anyway....yeah see my name is Kathleen and my sister couldn't pronounce the middle part of my name properly when she was little(she's 3 years younger than me) and so instead of Kathleen she'd say Kafeen which sounds exactly the same as "caffeine". It was never intended as a nickname. LOL. Just her being unable to say my actual name when she was really little.
We do have actual nicknames for each other these days though....and they are kind of funny too actually. For years, I can't remember since when, I've referred to my sister as "Mac" and she refers to me as "Cheese" and no we didn't even intentionally do this....a lot of people think it's on purpose because you know, Mac & Cheese. LOL. It is a food that goes together. We never even intended it that way though. It just happened. And yeah....once again food-related though. LOL.
You have an interesting name. I don't think I have heard of anyone with that name before but it might just be because you live in a different country and that's not a name I have heard here....but we do have a lot of immigrants here from various parts of the world so I am used to seeing people with names I've never seen before. So most likely there is someone in my city with your name, I just haven't met anyone with that name before.
It is funny the random nicknames people come up with though....because we've also had some weird nicknames for our pets over the years. Like really weird names that aren't even actual words. My dog who sadly passed away last year(she was pretty old)....her name was Sandy but for some reason sometimes we would call her Shoebules and some other strange things that made no sense at all. lol.

Haha, that's ME, lol! I can surely relate to Randall as a fellow caffeine junkie, since if I had four hands(not to mention that convenient prehensile tail to carry around those doughnuts), I'd have as many coffee mugs myself. Me, I have to make do with one great big mug.

Haha! I can't imagine surviving a day without few cups of black tea (which has caffeine too...so I guess I'm a bit of a caffeine junkie too! xD) Randall is like designed for being a caffeine junkie...or a waiter, lol. I wonder what it would like to have four arms....and would it be possible to drink tea with one arm, drawing with another and writing some papers at the same time?! Hehee!
Randall just have to be a caffeine junkie!!! I can imagine it all too well!
I have one big mug too...it's for mornings. I'm really bad at mornings, oh dear!

I HATE mornings, seriously, and I have to get up at 5 am to go to work, so coffee is like life-support for me. I can't stand tea, though, but in the absence of coffee I do like energy drink mixes, even though they aren't as good for you as black coffee.
I have often wished for at least ONE other arm, and often needed one, too! Who has not arrived at a closed door you needed to go through, with both hands loaded with groceries or something, things you did not or could not simply put down, and no one else around to open the door for you? Randall doesn't have to worry about that! He is the ultimate master of the multi-task!

OH NO, that is really early! I had a Christmas job in post sorting and I had to wake around 5:15/5:30 am every morning and that was simply murder!!! Now I applied summer job from there but in night shifts because that would be much more suitable for my rhytm. (the night shift starts at 3pm and ends around 11pm)
I just can't drink coffee myself, it's too strong for me but I drink a lot of black tea instead.
You're right about extra arm thing, sometimes it really would be helpful!

I know, right? We used to have chickens, and I swear I'd wake the rooster up! I would be on my way to the truck to leave, and the rooster would be like, "What? You up THIS early? Woman, go back to BED already!" Caffeine is like life-support when you are so totally NOT a morning person and have to get up that early! Thinking about how Randall had been working on that Scream Extractor for his boss for over 2 years, STILL having to get up in the morning and be at work on his regular job by 9 am, while staying up so late most nights working on that thing, staying awake through the weekends when everyone else got to go home and sleep in late, stay awake all through what should have been his vacation time working on that thing...it is not surprising that he wound up with such an attitude problem. What IS surprising is that he held up under that pressure and sleep deprivation for as long as he did! I guarantee he put a serious dent in the coffee supply of the Monster World while he was working on that project for Waternoose!
