Fritz Fail 2 sounds like a sequel. A very low-budget sequel that would have some ridiculous tag line. Like Fritz Fail 2: Fail Harder.

Most of the elements have become completely unrecognizable. My face completely invisible. The spray of Woody Woodpeckers spewing from my mouth are lost in a sea of dark burgundy. The burgundy too dark so early in the layer game.

The successes are fun but can’t stave off the impending Orc hoard of burgundy. The Woody in flame in the upper right and the liberty arm have been turned 3D via Illustrator. They both look interesting and fresh.

There is also a nice purple mesh netting under the eyes in a cat woman mask. It was made from a garlic net. You know those tubes of garlic? Yeah one of those. It mimics the overall netting pattern but once again burgundy wins.

As with anything I have quit on in life, I wonder if I could have saved them. Even now while writing this and scrolling back up to the picture I think of experiments I could do.

But I won’t. Just let them go.  Show them here and maybe one day when I am feeling really brave I should just try to ruin them. Or paint something fresh on top of them.
