John Candy transformations















Me and my brother love John Candy movies, and one of our specialities is John Candy themed transformation art and stories. We are currently working on a sci fi screenplay with a werejohncandy transformation in it (we're considering Rick Moranis as the poor test subject). We've done several transformation stories and art before, we've done several Disney ones, several ones from other cartoons like Biker Mice and Ninja Turtles, and quite a few others. One of our best works is a morph we did of me becoming a 6'2 300lb Canadian Werejohncandy- it was achieved with Fantamorph 3 (it was the demo version).


















Today we're going to show some of our transformation work:













This one is of me becoming a werejohncandy. I like the way this one turned out.




This one is my older bro turning into one. He liked it.









This is a Werebelushi transformation from National Lampoon's Curse Of The Werebelushi- it pretty much serves as a "sequel" of sorts to Animal House. I'm the one turning into the werebelushi in the movie.

This is a transformation of myself into John Candy- I also call this what happens when you watch way too much John Candy movies.




This is me becoming John's character from Kavik the Wolf dog.

We've got several other john candy themed morphs, we'll be posting them here soon.

My First Experiment

Back in 1986 David Cronenburg released his remake of The Fly- me and my brother are big fans of David Cronenberg's work. The first science experiment I ever did was inspired by that movie. My first science experiment was in fact a human/fly hybrid-his name is Jeff. He is modelled on Jeff Goldblum's character from the film and is almost quite similar except he's a much more pleasant sight to look at then the Brundlefly creature from the film, he has wings, four eyes, four arms, tough skin, antennae, and small vampirish fangs (that was my brother's idea). He is 5'11 and is muscular like a superhero, his costume is inspired by Spiderman. He possessess the same superpowers as the Brundlefly creature from the film except we have swapped the vomit drop thing for laser vision, and unlike Brundlefly...Jeff can actually fly. Jeff doesn't get along too well with Doizee- you see- Doizee is a fly eating ladybug (she eats flies instead of aphids) and is always trying to eat him. Jeff dislikes her a lot because of this. He's a deadpan snarker most of the time, so be afraid, be very afraid.

We have many more favourite scenes from John Candy movies but these are just a few

Celebrity Encounters

I haven't met anyone famous yet but here's a little story that my parents told me about their celebrity encounters, and these are not lies by the way they actually happened.When my mom and dad were teenagers they were big fans of the Rolling Stones, and they went to one of their concerts- my mom met the band in person. This is a true story btw.Here's another interesting celebrity story, this one is one my mom told me:One day she and her sister and her niece Natalia (or "Piwi" as I often nickname her) went to this big fancy art museum and guess who she bumped into...none other than Jack Black of Tenacious D and School Of Rock fame. She told him that i'm a big fan of his work. But she never asked him for an autograph though which is a real shame. I really wanted one.Those are true stories mind you- no bull here, all of it is true. They really happened. In case you're wondering what year and day my mom met Jack Black it was in mid December 2004, he had short hair- I think he was preparing for his role in King Kong. He came across as a very friendly straight forward guy. Here's another true story, my buds and I went to a Tenacious D Concert in January of 2008, the songs they played were Tribute, Wonderboy, Keilbasa, F**K Her Gently and a few songs from the new film Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny. It was a most awesome experience. There even guest appearances by Satan, Jesus (a guy dressed like him), Sasquatch, Lee, and Colonel Sanders. There were lots of amazing special effects and everything. One of the best parts was the reinactment of the Beelzeboss scene from the movie.

Beauty And The Beast as told by me: Prologue.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, A young nobleman lived in a shimmering castle.Although he had everything his heart desired,The nobleman had trouble trusting people.
But then, one winter's night,An old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single jewelIn return for shelter from the bitter cold. Freaked out by her Crypt Keeper-like demeanorThe nobleman frowned at the gift,a nd turned the old woman away.But she warned him not to be deceived by first impressions for even the strangest person could turn out to be nice. And when he dismissed her again,The old woman's weirdness melted awayTo reveal an elegant Enchantress.The nobleman tried to apologize, but it was too late, For she had seen that there was no trust in his heart. And as punishment,She transformed him into a 6'2 300lb werejohncandy. And placed a powerful spell on the castle,And all who lived there.Shocked of his John Candy-like form the werejohncandy concealed himself inside his castle,with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.The jewel she had offered,was truly an enchanted jewel Which would shine for many years. If he could learn to trust another,And earn her trust in returnBy the time the jewel turned gold,Then the spell would be broken.If not, he would be doomed to remain a werejohncandy.For all time.As the years passed,He fell into despair, and lost all hope,For who could ever learn to love...a werejohncandy?
