Love the art, but I mean... really?
Looks a bit over the top? Far-fetched? Exaggerated?
Don't know, I guess it's for some terrible kind of migraine, right?

It's totally over the top and that's why I dig it.

Yep. Both ads scream "Pick me! Choose me! Let me be the Grand Prix Lion Winner!".

Outstanding artwork! So over the top one forgets this is an ad for a medicine. This should be displayed in an art gallery.

Maybe it's the lack of packshot or logo?

It remembers me the movie Saw.

Just a little bit disturbing.

Wow. I mean, WOW!
So many details it's pure pleasure to "read" it.
Excellent artwork, idea is so-so.
IMO should've implemented the pack nicely somewhere,
no matter how horrible the logo or pack is.

Im a huge fan of kris kuksi and its sad to see his work being ripped off by some art director who thought it will be cool to do it for an ad.

I'd say it's all fair to be inspired by art.
this one though seems really close. In this case it would be fair to ask the artist for cooperation.
but I guess this matter has been discussed many times.

This is very reflective of Kris Kuksi's artwork, even though he's not in the credits. Go to http://kuksi.com/artworks/sculpture/ and scroll down a few pages (pg 7, I think). There's a work called 'Imminent Utopia' that looks really similar (albeit, w/ less emotion).

Art is nice but compromises with brand prominence.

This is a complete ripoff of Kris Kuksi's work. Sad that the creators of this have to exploit real artists to do something "original".

The visual is great, but I don't think this would sell the product. It's not for brand endorsement, yes?
