I've always thought it would be creepy if a dead body was disposed of by being hidden in a children's snowman. I figured it would make for a haunting image.

hahahahahahahahhahhaahahahhaahha...............great design............i can't see anything wrong with it.......maybe have the hat on the ground too (on the skull it looks like it might have been to small for the head of the snowman).............and add a lil shine to the water , snow, and bones so it looks wet and messy lol Where's the other snowman's arm? lol Great Design

I'm considering what if I draw a kid in front, looking at the snowman and freaking out. The twist I always thought of with this idea is what if a kid wished the snowman to come to life, like in Frosty the Snowman (hence the title), but he thinks he must have messed it up somehow and is responsible for this death.

I like it )

An imaginative and clever twist on a very familiar theme (bones and skulls) The snow doesn't look very convincing and a lot of the little details need a bit more work. If the quality of the execution is improved I'd certainly buy it

Thanks for the support everyone

There is something iconic about you design

Any thoughts on the kid in front or would that just be complicating things?

If this was a poster for a horror film it would become a classic, if you worked very HARD at making it look more realistic and removed that slight cartoonish feel to it..that's a complement

lmao, i thought this was hilarious.
maybe try a little shading, if it seem's to busy, icepyro's bad :P
looks nice tho

mind taking a look? :)

Imao, a man wise beyond his own foolishness

....just a joke

Yeah, I intend to replace the actual snowman part of it with a more realistic version. Probably with some shading and a little texture. Just not quite my forte, so it'll take me a bit.

I could be wrong, but this particular idea is brilliant. I wish it was mine. Take as long as necessary it will be worth it

Haha really cool, some shading would be nice. Apart from that, SUBMIT!

Come check my design out =) http://www.threadless.com/critique/13251/Caffeinated_Choice

I finally found some time to do a little bit for this work in progress. Just a simple redrawing of the snowman to give it a little texture. All feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks!

i love the idea i have to sawy so thats why ill go with needs works so u can win that so get it all together and try diff colors and maybe work on the skeleton but its good i think this can make it,if u have time vote mine thanks!

Oh this makes me sad. I like it but it makes me sad. My only question is why does he still have one stick arm when the skeletal arm is hanging down in front? Fix that and I say good to go!

Comment me if you get a minute: http://www.threadless.com/critique/16278/Come_Back

I would buy this in a heartbeat. I love it.

My small, stupid preference/taste -- make the hat stand out a little more... maybe a white stripe across it? (or even a small crossbons somewhere on it?)

You could make the carrot red. The hat could be black with a thin column of light reflecting down the middle of the hat. You could have a number of realistic looking tombstones surrounding the snowman. Try a black tee without changing the colours of the snowman and tombstone it should look creepy

That's true, the hat looks a little flat. I think a little more shading, maybe all around and this one is ready to go!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm going to do some work on this as soon as school lets up.

I would like to see some screaming kids, maybe one staring at the snowman and another running away terrified?

Need a comment on a critique or a submission, post your link here

way cool idea!

Reckon the stroke is a tad heavy, some halftone instead would be good.

LOL! This is great. I agree, though, that the drawing looks a bit flat. Some shadows, a few highlights, maybe even a bit of a reflection in the water would really help flesh this out.

Here's another version. Changed the top hat and added a stripe. Redrew the snowman part again so it had a better line width. Also added a bit of texture. Thoughts?

Creepy.


Anyway, the whole thing needs more depth. Take it to the next level.

Yeah, shading would help

ahahaha this design is a hysterical winner. 5 bones.

What about the arm situation? A few people seem to be bothered by them, but I don't know.

Great concept. Push it.

Very dark! It reminds me of something out of the League of Gentlemen. Very cool!

I had to look up League of Gentlemen for fear that you meant the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I appreciate everyone's support. I have a poor sense of what kind of shading or anything I would need to finish this one off. Any specific advice?

I think over complicating it with elaborate shading would distract from the design. I like it the way it is.

I kinda feel the same way.

I submitted it and it's still pending. Should be up next week.
Check it out.

It's up for voting now.
Right here
