Hey yall! I'm the guy who did that Brian getting older flash animation... and I have something else I wanna show you guys!
I've always wanted a cool cartoony Beach Boys shirt. Well, I've always wanted a cartoony Beach Boys CARTOON, like the Beatles had their cartoon, and then to have a t-shirt of that. But oh well. So I'm making my own cartoon shirt!
What do you guys think of the design and likeness of the boys? Do they all seem to be in the same style? Do you like the names? Should it say Alan or Al? Is Carl weird? Did I capture Mike's sh*t eating grin? Does Al look too much like a Spiderman villain? Is Dennis too handsome and un-Dennisy? Keep in mind, these are supposed to be slightly LOOSE caricatures, trying to keep it simple. Wanted to keep is as simple as the Beatles cartoons, but just can't seem to keep that simple.
Anyways, all input appreciated! And also... if you guys would like a fresh new image for the upper right of the page, you can totally use this! (no offense to the South Park BBs!!)

It wouldn't be a bad thing to change the name to "'California' Al Jardine"

I think that's great and would make a cool banner image (I honestly can't stand the South Park one). Nice work.
I do think you should make it so Dennis and Mike aren't squinting but that's all. But overall, it really looks awesome.

My lady and I agree the answer is "yes" to all of your questions. Go with your gut.
BTW, they are fantastic as they are!

This is a wonderful piece of art, screw the south park picture. You could add Bruce or Dave if you feel like expanding beyond the "original" 5 members.

Great job! I second the notion of adding Bruce and Dave (unless that makes it too cluttered), and using it in place of the South Park BBs.

I think seven pictures would be kind of cluttered, so the original picture would work fine.

Cool cool! Who decides on what pictures goes up on the site? Whoever you are, contact me if you're interested and want a different crop on the image, different size, etc, and I'll set it up.
I might add Bruce and Dave in the future... and maybe even Ricki and Blondie, just for fun. But for the purpose of being a forum image, maybe more than 5
would
be too cluttered...

Hehe. I've been kind to Mike's WHOLE FACE.
But yeah, I guess I'm doing slightly cuter versions of the real thing. Making the boys look a little more palatable. Except for Al who will always look like the Green Goblin.

This is kick ass, but agree about the squinting thing. Carl looks adorable!

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Thanks ya'll! I was going for a really LOL moment with Dennis and Mike... like, this Mike face...
(the group photo one)
I just always think of Mike with a big goofy smile which makes him squinty. But I'll see how it looks non-super-squinty..

Al looks like that mean monkey from
Pirates of the Caribbean
, Mike looks Chinese and Brian looks kinda mentally retarded. But apart from that - neat job! I think it would make a nice (and original) replacement for the old
South Park
banner.

Can you all stop calling Al various names, such as "Spiderman villain", "the Green Goblin", "mean monkey" and others? Show some respect to him! As I recall, everyone here thinks that he's the best singer of the remaining Beach Boys & in various 50th Anniversary threads considered as the star of the shows. So now, at the same time you give him teasing names?? I don't understand it.
You do understand I was talking about Al's caricature, not the man himself, right? If he would indeed look like a mean monkey, I wouldn't criticise the caricature.
...
Besides, Al really doesn't look like a mean monkey. He looks like the crypt-keeper.

Hehe, I never called him "mean monkey"!
For what it's worth, it's a... loving tease. The kind of loving tease that you can only do to someone you love. I do love Al, and his voice is amazing and From There to Back Again is amazing and he should get more leads etc etc.
But as much as I love and respect the boys, they are also flawed human beings, not to mention some mostly goofy looking dudes, and I think it's OK to lovingly tease your idols.
You know, like, "with a voice like yours when you open your mouth it's a big put down," or "well at least I don't sound like mickey mouse with a sore throat!"
I also think it's ok to call Brian Wilson "turtle-like."
(and to be fair to Al, he didn't really start looking like goblinny until his latter years..)

OMG you guys, brilliant idea. Beach Boys as animals! Brian is a wise old turtle, Al is a cheeky monkey, Carl is a loveable huggable bear, Dennis is a... maybe a tiger, some handsome animal. And Mike is... I guess Mike is really a monkey too.
Alright, I have to go draw this right now!

FANTASTIC! Keep it like it is. Don't beat yourself over trying to perfect every detail of something that's supposed to be fun (fun, fun). You did an unbelievable job with those details already!

In fact that's the only one that I don't think is that similar to the original. Otherwise, as stated, brilliant.
