Dr. Pepper suddenly looks cool as hell. Still tastes like ass, though.

This is awesome work, I'm glad you posted it. I'm gonna go stare at it for a while now.

because coke bottle nearly all the foreign drinks brands here in Japan, under license of Schweppes etc.

There's only three major drinks makers here; Asahi, Kirin and Coca-Cola.

Man why do I even know this! Talk about useless knowledge! :blahblah:

seriously, i don' see what's so special about these. nothing fancy i haven't seen yet. plus i find the color composition super-fugley ;)
those character designs in the background look nice though. maybe it's the illustrator-style i don't like about the characters.

not exactly my thing.

Looks to me like Dr. Pepper stole the Fanga girls for their ads

That last one with the black girl's kinda... dunno. The brown and the yellow look a little fugley like somewhat else put it. Nice work though like the oh so smooth lines.

Liked the work on his website better. Certainly a good combination of design and illustration. Seen his work before, he's not a lightweight.

He must mean Fanta , god that commercial is annoying.

Come to think of it, a company out here named Swire Coca-Cola bottles everything too . . .
