The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man
From 1984's "Ghostbusters" directed by Ivan Reitman.
"Ghostbusters" was a HUGE influence on me as a kid. My good friend Jason Baker and I would spend all summer building props and recreating key moments from the film on super 8. Unfortunately I lost contact with Jason years and years ago, and he kept all the film, so I can't post any samples, but I'd love to see them again.
The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man was requested by Kay, who still owes me a pair of Cthulhu wings!
I also did the image in Black & White, I had a hard time deciding which to post, you can see it here.

Tell Kay that was a good choice. I think I prefer the b&w version by just a hair. The reason being that the stark darkness (or dark starkness) makes the marshmallow man look eerier (if you can describe a marshmallow man as eerie) and slightly different than the movie image.
I say the color just edges out the b/w image. The sailor suit demands color.
I used to include the afflicted building and the church that Mr. Staypuft stepped on in the tour I gave visitors when i lived in NYC.
I probably saw that movie over 70 times the summer it came out. I worked at a movie theater then, which made it easy.
I think if they pitted him against Godzilla, Toho could save their franchise.
Great rendering.
love the stay puff guy and what you are doing on the site (bob sent the link to me) very cool!
here's a shout out for you to render farmer vincent from motel hell.
