The Salad Monster: Eat Your Greens or They'll Eat You!

framebox.de — In November 2006 Till Nowak created the image "Salad". For this image he created 12 digital vegetable models in 3ds max using photographic references. They were combined to become a tribute to the fantastic biomechanical creations of H.R. Giger and the vegetable portraits of Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

  • OgniAsuob, on 02/26/2008, -5/+76In the garden, no-one can hear you cry
    • h4mx0r, on 02/27/2008, -1/+5I say we rinse it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
    • Psythik, on 02/27/2008, -2/+3In Soviet Russia, salad eats you.
    • Paradoxymoron, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2Be careful, Xenocumbers have dressing blood, better call in a Predavegan.
      • sgtbutterscotch, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2You really like making two words one, don't you, Paradoxymoron? Is that like your schtick?

    • cookingboy, on 02/27/2008, -1/+1I know, I now have a newly found respect for Vegetarians....
  • Member148, on 02/26/2008, -6/+8Did it grow from a vine or did it spring out of someone's chest? Good picture. It's good to see someone still has an imagination.
    • wellyuk, on 02/27/2008, -5/+1Did it grow from a vine or did it spring onion out of someone's chest?

      Fixed.
  • thedaylights, on 02/26/2008, -14/+2It needs a pea for an eye. But I've gotta say, this picture is totally awesome. Dude.
  • adminmatt, on 02/26/2008, -11/+3kind of ironic that a couple days after my digital imaging professor uses this image for a project example it winds up on digg. lol
    • AshamedAmerican, on 02/26/2008, -3/+19I think you mean "coincidental". Irony has nothing to do with the situation you described.
    • Paradoxymoron, on 02/27/2008, -0/+3If that's what you think irony is, i'd like to see your sarcasm...
    • adminmatt, on 02/27/2008, -2/+1coincidental was probably a better term. oh well, the project sucked anyway. we had to model ourselves out of vegetables...not easy,nor fun
  • tynansanger, on 02/26/2008, -2/+6But if you do eat it, it will explode out of your stomach!
  • doctechnical, on 02/26/2008, -3/+28Quick! Get a salad shooter!

      • disingenious, on 02/27/2008, -3/+1Bite your tongue! Figuratively though pls.
  • akkibaba, on 02/26/2008, -3/+8I wouldn't have dissed broccoli so much when I was a kid, had I known that it could call for badass vegetable backup.
  • koach, on 02/26/2008, -2/+7Feed me, Seymour!
    • VenDrake, on 02/27/2008, -1/+3I believe in this case it would be appropriate to leave out the comma.
  • sagat, on 02/26/2008, -2/+3Wasn't there a salad monster in Gremlins 2?
  • smurf22, on 02/26/2008, -7/+23How old is this? 6 months, a year even?!
    • floridiot2, on 02/27/2008, -2/+1How many years in internets does that equate to?

    • MasterThief117, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1I could have sworn I saw it as a diagram in the ENIAC users manual.
    • chokeaduck, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1He has a point, this was on Stumble Upon during the summer, if not earlier. It's odd, sometimes stuff hits Digg first, then SU, and sometimes the opposite. Weird how the algorithms and popularity makes them popular at different times, you'd figure the same people would be submitting the same *****, we have to be the same demographic for Digg/Stumble, right?
    • StolenLamp, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1It's a repost, I remember seeing this on here a few months back.
  • Mr.Gone, on 02/26/2008, -8/+9What, no "In Soviet Russia"?
    • amunimanghi, on 02/27/2008, -3/+2In Soviet Russia, our greens eat the salad monster.

  • EvanWindsor, on 02/26/2008, -1/+3Beware of the Cloverfield Salad.

  • Ringwurm, on 02/26/2008, -8/+1In soviet russia, you don't eat your veggies, your veggies eat you!
    • Dimalinch, on 02/26/2008, -1/+4your doing it wrong

  • sdigroup, on 02/26/2008, -5/+26why does everyone re digg these old stories?
    http://digg.com/design/Salad_Alien_from_the_film_m ...
    • zapperdude60, on 02/26/2008, -2/+5i agree, digg is the recycling bin of stories and news
    • WillHutch5, on 02/27/2008, -2/+11Because it was 192 days ago and some of us happened to miss it?
    • Namaha, on 02/27/2008, -3/+7Because it's always the exact same people on Digg, for every single story, including their resubmissions. It's totally impossible for someone to not have seen this before.
      • dogpigeoncow, on 02/27/2008, -1/+4Stop whining about reposts! not every1 logs onto digg every second to see whats new! This is the first time i have seen it and personally I am glad that it was reposted.

      Roji panty complex!
  • papastout, on 02/26/2008, -1/+2Can you kill it with a salad shooter??

    No?

    How about a Blade Cuisinart (super powerul blade from the 13th dungeon level in Wizardry I)
  • hextic, on 02/26/2008, -2/+18NOM NOM NOM

    • jazzboyrules, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1When I read ranch, I did not think of the verb 'bleed'. I just could not associate white ranch with bleeding, but with something else.
  • isunktheship, on 02/27/2008, -2/+2Older than the internet!
