Maybe its been done before - if it has I can\'t find one.



What ya think - look forward to your opinions.

Nice idea. I'd like to see a close up of the design to see the detailing.



Wanna crit mine?

details are not bad - i do intend to refine the scissor shading and blood stain. Also thought I'd add a little hook thingy onto the handle. Unless anyonw thinks I should go for a more traditional larger set of paper scissors and don't like the smaller (possibly hairdresser scissors)

Yeah thats a good idea. I'd go for a pair of school scissors. After all this is the sort of thing you are told when your a kid. I can't remember the last time I saw a hairdresser running?

also might be an idea to give the scissors some perspective, so they are coming out of the shirt, rather than lying flat against it. Otherwise its hard to see how they could have impaled the body.

thanks - like the school idea - that way they could have coloured handles. Not too sure about the perspective. I guess I thought they had just gone in a little and were hanging down heaps.



What do the others think - give it some perspective???

i think a little perspective couldn't hurt and i also like the idea about making them school scissors. also, maybe add a little blood running down the scissor blade and slightly darkening the shading effect on the sides of the bloodstain.

Great idea! I do agree that a little perspective to the scissors would be just the job. With that and new shadow, the depth should look really good.

For some reason, these type of scissors spring to mind when I think of the 'running with scissors' saying:

...but then again, the school scissiors might be an idea too - get some nice vibrant coloured handle in there!?



It's hard to know - but definitely very promising!

School scissor version - thanks stephen, those were the scissors I first thought of - not really sure why i ended up drawing hairdresser scissors.

will look at colour combos next before refining scissor drawing taken into account any suggestions - thanks.

Whoa! That was fast!! Yeah...definitely on the right track. Did you mean to leave the scissors's's' shadow out? I'd like to see how that looks.



Looking forward to the different colour combos. It's a simple idea ..but original (I haven't seen it anywhere else either!) and nicely executed. Why didn't I think of doing that!? :P

Thats nice. The scissors are just right and I think the perspective really helps. I would add a subtle shadow to enhance the depth, and personally I would ease off on the blood, make it more of a wet stain than a splatter, after all, the blood is coming from under the shirt, not from the shirt itself.

I've worked on mine... wanna crit them?

agreed chco_tpot - will do tonight

yeah will add shadow - and as noted from v1 - i knew the blood stain would need further work. Next version will be heaps better and I'll show detail work next time also.

friggin hilarious!

a bit more shadow and it's so cool :-)

did you try some other shirt colors?

This is really neat! Keep it on the white shirt. Super pro.
