Where The Wild Things Are

The People Have Spoken
Average Score: 9.0 / 10
The style that you have chosen to present this image in is perfect! It captures the spirit of both the wild things and of Max. I can really see their characters being portrayed in this! Keep up the great work!
<PS>
If that isn't wild I don't know what is.
Ahh, yes, I remember this book now. From when I was little :D. Personally I love it, except that Max's nose could be a little wider and shorter. That's just my personal opinion. I only gave you a 9 because I feel I give too many 10s. Btw, how does this kid get into the land? I forgot.
He ripped off a wildly popular children's book that's being made into a (probably) wildly popular movie. Newgrounders, you really need to stop throwing out 10's because you think something looks cool.

duh i ripped off a children's book, its fan art...
Great art, the book was my most cherished while i was a kid.
Can't Wait to see the movie on friday.
i remember i reading the book when i was little
you caught the feeling of the art perfectly. Kudos on bringing a wave of childhood memories back to NG masses.
I even danced to the song "Wild Thing" even so that is unrelated subject matter.
Chances are you probably seen the trailer for the new movie and thus got inspired to do this. Regardless of possible media pandering, this is a nice piece. It might not be so wide and extraordinary on a scale of grandmaster epic-ness. It might not have a wide variety of colors to induce a level of realism ala Alex Ross. It might not be as surreal or mind screwing as M.C. Escher or Salvador Dali. It might not be as extravagantly experimental like Van Gogh or Picasso. It might not raise such questions and controversy the way Jackson Pollock or Andy Warhol could do. But I do see much effort put into each individual strand of hair on Carol's mouth and chin. I have to say I truly wish to go to the place where the wild things are. That, and it is very cute.
P.S. I don't if the movie is going to do well considering the fact the way most movies based on children's books turn out, especially one as short as the book in question. The trailer looks mighty fine though.
i can tell you took your time doing this and i have to say it shows. You have truly made max and carol more updated. this should be for the teaser poster. good job man good job. i hope to see some more of your work in the near future.
It´s been too long since I`ve read that book. Thanks for stirring up childhood memories!!!! Great drawing!!
It's a very excellent piece of art.
It mimics the Sendak book but adds a hint of original flavor.
I like it for it seems more of an update than an exact copy which is always nice.
But only when done right and by George I think you've done a rather splendid job.
this brings back memories
the show is soon! thanks
that book is a great story for children and now a movie of it coming out ... i might go see it XD
I can stll remember when my mother read me that book. Those were the good old days. I think I'll go fish it out of my bins right now. A timeless classic that you could NEVER forget even if you tried.
its a classic man evryone favorite childrens book one that we all love
it's ok.....but it could use a little bit more deatail(no offense to the person who made it )
Its pretty good but his nose had 2 dots ?
Author's Response:

And what sort of magical program did you use to make this one?

I loved this story when I was a kid, and your art is a credit to the book :D
Hit it right on!
This is excellent :D Thanks for the fun drawing. Nice colors, composition, the whole bit. Great drawing. :)
This looks like a tarot card.
I remember "Where the Wild Things Are" when I was a kid. You do a very good drawing of the Max and Carol characters. I would've had a different background (e.g., a jungle background like in the story), but other than that, this is great. :D :D
Oh, the childhood memories.
Only thing I may have done differently would be the frame.
