I\'m zombie proof! Are you?

I prefer your drawn characters to the no brains sign..



Its kind of funny to think of it like that, like all the stupid people in the world would be safe from zombies.. You should think along those lines for this I think.



As it is now, I can tell you that as it is, It looks like a clip art brain with a stereotypical no sign over it, and from my experience here, this will not go over well with the voters.. but it is a good concept and I think you should continue with it, but try a different direction.

Hmm... maybe the brain does look a bit bit clip arty (which is sad cause I spent several hours making it T_T) I'll have to go back and see if I can do something about that.



I was also thinking of adding the drawn characters to one of the bottom back corners as kind of a teaser. Any thoughts on that?

i like this design, its clever. as it stands on its own i think it works.

although personally,i think this design could benefit by having those zombie cartoon characters incorporated into the design.

i agree with the above statements. its a very funny concept, but if i were you i would remove the brain from the actual shirt and just put the characters as they are drawn on the bottom onto it

So what I'm hearing is no brain, but frankly I'm at a loss on how I would convey the same message without it.



Do I need to show a detail shot of the brain so that people realize it's been worked on and isn't just some run of the mill image?

show the no brained character opening his head to show the zombies there is no brain in it.

Maybe have a zombie chasing someone with brains, and the person without is just standing there, being ignored.

lol yeah I like this...

but to add on to the people up n top...

a way you could add the characters is if you have them hnging onto the red circle thingy...but all in all it's a good idea

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'll try some things out an post them later.

Love those characters, definitely incorporate them!

Perhaps you could keep it the same, but have that drawing on the back of the shirt, maybe on the lower corner?

i don't think anybody would want to wear something that implies they have no brain

submit it...I would buy it...

your characters are good, you should work on more subs using characters you have created.

Where can you pick up those model pictures I see? I agree with pfg84 that it might help my design.



Thanks again for the suggestions and yes delicious cake I plan on doing exactly as you suggested and put them on the back, lower right corner of the shirt.



I'll have a new version posted by tonight!

Made a few small changes based on suggestions. Also added the characters onto the back. Not sure if I like them inverted.



Still thinking I want to put it on black and ash like in the previous version.



Thoughts?

i think it would be alot better if there were some other way to convey the lack of brain than the slashed circle. also i still think the four characters make a better shirt than the actual shirt. maybe you could enlarge them and incorporate them into the front of the design?

also can you critique my other idea? http://www.threadless.com/critique/17385/Lieutenant_Crunch

I think you should avoid using copies of the zombies. Just draw three unique ones.

i really liked the small characters they look cute , but there seems to be no link between the brain and the characters , i think u should simplify the circle by using the same line work as the characters , it ll rock !!

i agree - put the zombie and the boy in the front and enlarge them. i would also give the boy a realistic skin tone, and then keep the zombies in black and white, just to contrast them. also, if you decide to sketch the zombies again, maybe try making them look a lot messier in terms of your strokes. its still a really creative shirt - i like it! just needs a little work, so keep it up.



if you have some time, please score and comment on my submission… thanks!!!:

I don't think you need the "No brain" sign on the front as you have the boy wearing it. Maybe have the words Zombie Proof in a drippy, creepy horror type (probably best hand drawn). Also, make each of the zombies look unique or in different poses to lose the cut-and-paste look. I prefer the non-inverted drawing too. This is a good idea though...

i think the characters are cute as well...but i concur that they would make a better shirt on their own. maybe change the style of the brain on the kids shirt - it looks a little 'realistic' for a 'no brain here' kind of sign. maybe look at existing 'no smoking' or 'no parking' signs? a really fun concept, i like the idea and i think you should continue working on it.

Working on doing just a boy with zombies like everyone is suggesting. Just wanted to know what people thought about the zombies and if I should put some color on them or not.

Looks much cooler! Maybe add colors, really spruce it up. I like this much more than the brain.



Critique mine?

Not really clear that he'd missing a brain without looking at previous incarnations of the design.



The characters look good, but i think they a little need colour.

Heh, cool! I thing I agree that I would miss the point if I hadn't seen the other shirts. Very nice illustration though!

Yeah colors necessary. I also feel that there should be more of a story here. Check out my zombie shirt!



Critique mine please

HAHAHHA. Damn i love me some zombies...

I didn't mean that in a derogatory manner..just so you know. I like your illustration style! Definitely need to see on a shirt.

looks really cool!



Critique mine?

Man, I love this! I think the concept would pop a lot more if it was in colour, though, so I really look forward to seeing this developed further! And the inking of the zombies is great.



Also, you seemed to like my design in crit, and now it's up for running HERE

so if you get a chance, please give it a vote!

concept great

needs colour and shading thou

its really a nice concept! The zombies have some character. Looking forward to the colours.



http://www.threadless.com/critique/18372/Who_is_the_math_genius

nice but a little more work with color and and detail

I like this but I would add color for sure..







Critique mine?

Added some basic color. Thinking I need to add some shadows and such.



Thoughts?

I like the colour, makes a big difference. Would be good to see how it looks on a t-shirt. Nice design.

Thanks for the comments. I'd like to see a mouth on the center figure, some kind of expression. Is this going on a black shirt like the previous versions? I look forward to seeing the shadows added.

why no face for the non zombie kid? at least give him a mouth

I actually like the lack of face on the kid... makes it seem like he truly is brainless. I think just the tiniest bit more detail in the colour would be great. Subtle shadows, colour in the hair, etc. Oh and I definitely want to see how this looks on a t-shirt.



Thanks you for the crit on mine btw. :)

i like the illustration... nice style :) i think the boy needs a mouth, with an equally vacant look... and... just to add confusion, i don't think you need the blank space on his head... it's self-explanatory without it.



help me out

http://www.threadless.com/critique/18983/robot_love

i like the illustration too... how does it looks on a tee?

nice design...

maybe the zombie hair need some color...



MinE?

its great. but why the dotted lines on his head?



thoughts?

Oops, I just noticed I forgot to color in two of the mouths. I'll try and have a more detailed version up tonight. Thanks for all the comments!

top left zombie looks weird w/ the mustache and the teeth. its confusing at first

Wow, that's pretty cool, can't you make the zombies body glow in the dark, or the outline of it glow in the dark?

Ha! I really like this! Zombies are alway's good, and it's a funny joke too. Dunno if I'd have it on white, but then I don't know what I'd put it on myself, not too useful that, is it!?

Boo they didn't post my comment for some reason.



Anyway, in a nutshell I added shadows to help give some volume. I left the zombie hair white so they heavily contrast the boy. I will added ground shadows later to remove the sense of floating.



Big t shirts are the ones I would like to print on (my personal favorite is the sagestone) and the smaller ones on the bottom are for placement and other possibilities.

Love it!

You've definitly perfected the design.

Im not so sure about the positioning though...seems too big.

bahahahaha, i love it!

cool!

Definitely looks more complete, can't wait to see it with the ground shadows and everything. I do think it's a BIT big on the shirt though.

I agree about the size as well, the design is a bit too big for me. I love the shadows and color options, they are excellent, I particularly like the black. As a whole it looks close to being done.

Added shadows and played with placement a bit on bottom t shirts.

Gray or blue...Also, shadows underneath them maybe???



Check mine out?

After a summer of no internet I'm back and ready to get this thing submitted! Just putting on the final touches before sending it off so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.



A couple of things, first I'm still trying to decide on a color so let me know what you like the best. Second, I'm also trying to decide if I want the design to wrap around the shirt to give it added depth so cast your vote on that too.



Thanks!

Looking pretty good.

Maybe the guy could have a scooped out head.

And I prefer the placement on the white shirt.

Also some shading would be nice.

You are definitely getting close. right now the only things i see that dont jive are the shadows (the color and shape is a bit funky) and guy's head. I just dont get the impression that his brain is missing with that bubble. Maybe add a fly buzzing out of his ear with a dotted line or something? I dunno, try different things to see if it makes it more clear.



Keep it up.

ha-ha it's great!

I don't mind guys head - looks clear to me. Idea with the fly from Krimson sounds good thou.

I think you should submit the white one.

blue!

blue is really nice yeah the hole needs a bit of work on his head
