18 Palettes Challenge: media.tumblr.com/4d1ea94d85579…"Psst! Hey, Guido! It's all so clear to me now...I'm the keeper of the cheese, and you're the lemon merchant, geddit?! And he KNOWS it! That's why he's gonna KILL us, so we gotta beat it, before he lets loose the marmosets on us!"
Just post all your favorite Ren & Stimpy quotes in the comments section, since it's totally going in that direction.
Ren Hoek belongs to Viacom. I only own this drawing.
"See this link? DON'T CLICK IT! IT'S THE PALETTE CHALLENGE GALLERY, YOU FOOL!"
"So what'll happen?"
"That's just it--we don't know! Maybe something bad, maybe something good--I guess we'll never know!"

Nicely done! (Ha, your inexperience drawing him doesn't show AT ALL.)
It's a marvelous rendition, everything from his expression, to his posture and form, right down to the colors.
Again, it's a palette that seems to be MADE for the material.
I never would've guessed you were working from a pre-made palette if I hadn't known...it all just FITS so well together.
Perfecto!

Thanks! This one was the most fun to do so far; I didn't stick as literally to the palette as I did with the other two, so I could go a little crazy with this one.

Yes, those are definitely Ren's psychological colors from the show, and I like that you drew him more in a Spumco fashion over the cheap looking Games animations character designs. Like to me the Spumco period Ren & Stimpy is what Nickelodeon should of been during the 1990's and early 2000's decades along with a uncensored Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold, and a completed start to finish Invader Zim instead of given too much praise to shows like Doug and allowing Rugrats to be rebooted into a less intelligent show made just for the bucks after the Jewish holiday specials where finished along with the over merchandising and force delaying of SpongeBob during the first three seasons of that show.

Thanks! Ren's a pretty tough character to draw, but I'd be lying if I said drawing him isn't fun. Thanks for noticing the psychotic background colors, by the way
I generally agree with you that the first two seasons of Ren & Stimpy are by far the best ones (I especially love "Stimpy's Invention", "Space Madness", "Sven Hoek", "Stimpy's Fan Club", and "Man's Best Friend", among others), but there are some Games-era episodes I like ("A Yard Too Far", "Stimpy's Cartoon Show", "Who's Stupid Now?", "Ren's Brain"), and likewise, there are some Spumco-era episodes I'm not crazy about ("Fake Dad", "Dog Show"). Also, although I'm not too fond of the Adult Party revival on Spike TV, I like "Ren Seeks Help" a lot.
At the risk of making myself sound like a fuddy-duddy, that was part of the beauty of 1990s Nickelodeon--there was so much stylistic diversity, with shows for just about every taste; if you didn't like one show, you were bound to love another. The channel as a whole was a bit more willing to take risks! It's a shame that Nick has lost a lot of that over the years.

Understand, and to be honest I though the Adult Party Cartoon episodes I saw where allot more enjoyable than the few Games episodes I saw, but you are right that the reboot had to be canned before it was too late. John K. just can't move beyond from his twisted fantasies that made the show such a fresh concept during the start of the 1990's decade, even his Cans Without Labels farce is too similar in theme with the short Sven Hoek. Even with those flaws, I do say prefer some his post Ren & Stimpy work allot better than I do with the overuse of using current events and American pop culture icons for story bait along with the use of taboo for taboo's sake that shows like South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, and Robot Chicken are known for. I am for expanding the animation medium for more adult style content like Ralph Bakshi did with his experimental films from the 1970's decade, but I do know that you should never dumb down your work just to make your show appeal to immature overgrown frat boys with the attention span of a goldfish. Like the Japanese have it right when they make a TV show like Cowboy Bebop for a adult audience, while all that gets green light here mostly for TV is cheaply animated and badly written shock cartoons that feel like badly written live action sitcoms than shows made in the animation medium.

My problem with Adult Party Cartoon wasn't so much the twistedness as the self-indulgence and wasted potential. Sure, the animation is great, but when the stories are lame and the comic timing nonexistent, what does it matter? Not all of it was bad, though; again, I loved "Ren Seeks Help", "Altruists" has some funny moments, and I would have loved to have seen a completed version of "Life Sucks". (The animatics are great.) I only wish we could have gotten more episodes like that, and fewer like "Onward and Upward" or "Fire Dogs II". I agree, too, that some more genuinely adult-oriented animation in this country is in order. (Have you seen Nina Paley's Sita Sings the Blues? Brilliant stuff.)

Well that's nice to know. I'm just so use to the reviews of millennial users like TheNostalgiaCritic, TheMysteriousMrEnter, and PieGuyRules that it's nice to see a breath of fresh air coming out of your mouth.
