Possible entry for Tora's literal title contest?
|
|
PS: This is just a very rough version. Let me know if you think the concept will work, and I'll crack on or chuck it based on what you chaps think.
|
|
|Bump for any feedback. :)
|
|
How about adding a hat and scarf to the monster, so he fits in with the rest of the supporters?
The foam hand should probably have some reference to the sport as well. |
|
ok, thanks garo
|
|
Great idea! Wish I'd thought of it.

I like it. It's funny. I think if the monster seemed to be more a part of the crowd it'd be even funnier. Like it was a real photo of a crowd with a real foam monster in it.
I reckon it's got legs so I'd work on it if I were you. crit me please: http://www.threadless.com/critique/20394/never_the_twain http://www.threadless.com/critique/20372/love_hurts |

Thanks guys. In respect to the photo-real thing. I think that would be fun, but I don't own the rights to that or any stadium crowd photo, so I'm going to have to draw my own to avoid copyright bizzle.
It should work though - this was just a mock-up. |

kaloman on May 13 '08
really funny idea, I can't wait to see where it goes :)
|
|
Lhiiiz on May 13 '08
This is such a fun idea! I love seeing your WIPs. Honestly, I like the way you've used the photograph and illustration, more than photorealism. I'm excited to see where you take it.
|
|
looks like it should be pretty funny.
|
|
I love the title.
|

cool concept
|
|
Great, great concept. Far out, whacky take on the familiar foam finger.
Something that hit me, besides lol when I saw it; you might further dramatize and ad to the narrative if there was a security guard next to him and he was pointing out the finger fan to him. They'd be in the aisle just above the fan, which would give you a bit more space around him and eliminate the need to integrate him into the crowd. Whatever. The idea is so good I'd $5 it as is. Nice one. |
|
pajamasquid on May 13 '08
I love the concept. I want to see it worked out.
PS, check out my critques! |
|
Ink not vectored. This is what it will look like. It's gotta be a big print.
Colours will follow... |
|
Mjhoyt on May 13 '08
This is funny! For colors, I say something subtle since there's a lot going on already.
|
|
Mjhoyt on May 13 '08
Maybe even a solid color for the entire crowd to emphasize the guy and his hand? I dunno.
|
|
woa. Looking great so far. Good recreation of the crowd. Love the idea.
|
|
You are right. The first thing I'll try will be a monotone crowd - probably in tones of the fabric colour. Thanks :)
|
|
hahahah, geeeenius
|
|
great idea!
|
|
Will start on giving the crowd a bit of dept in a min. I think these might be the colours.

|
smileporfavor on May 13 '08

zombietag on May 13 '08

|
zombietag on May 13 '08
and maybe retitle it like "That's My Hand!" or something. this titles a bit long
|
|
A.Rod on May 13 '08
this shirt is cash money...
great job here, submit ! |
|
hahaha
|
|
dajogo on May 13 '08
this is cool, now much improved
|
|
yeah dude, I thought it was a good idea but you've made it better then I was thinking it would be.
|
|
On fabric and on Charlie.
|
|
I have some tonal issues to sort out, but this is more or less it, I think.
|
|
.MINUS. on May 13 '08
I think it looks amazing! Great concept!
|
|
Mjhoyt on May 13 '08
This looks great so far! Wonderful colors!
|
|
Honestly I prefer the graphic quality of v2. That version with a colored-in character would make the best shirt. However, your style still works and this could definitely print.
I'd also play around with some different mouth shapes. I don't know how I feel about that. |
|
zombietag on May 13 '08
amazing. submit
http://www.threadless.com/critique/20535/Neon_Dino_Bones |
|
very funny! it's bonkers
|
|
Mjhoyt on May 13 '08
I think maybe a slightly different color for the monster so as not to confuse him with Gumby?
|
|
SteveOramA on May 14 '08
that's a good point ^
maybe orange foam? |
|
I have no idea who gumby is, but I shall investigate - thanks!
|
|
That's a print.
|
|
This is just way too good.
I'd buy that within a second. |
|
stan360 on May 14 '08
hahahaha ......great concept! change the foam guy to orange! hw abt mine?
www.threadless.com/critique/20148/summer_to_winter thanks! |
|
Damn this is so awesome Fatheed! Concept and execution- all brilliant!
|
|
kaloman on May 19 '08
ow, wow, I saw the first draft of this and loved the concept already!
It turned out amazing! Hurry up and submit so I can buy this shirt! If you have a spare moment: http://www.threadless.com/critique/21001/Ride_Your_Dreams |

loserbeech on May 19 '08
This is HILARIOUS.
|
|
whadoyathink of the silver and pink?
|
|
Madshadow on May 19 '08
I love the silver and the pink! It pops out so much more than the green.
|
|
did you ever try orange? Or did it just not look good?
Or is it the color of an opposing team? |
|
I like the green the best
IMHO |
|
Orcsbane on May 19 '08
I still like the green and tan. You might even try a bluer shade, 'cause he does look a lot like Gumby. Google him. Crit mine?
http://www.threadless.com/critique/20551/Stick_it_to_the_Fisherman |
|
why haven't you sub this sucker yet??
|
|
jakattack on May 19 '08
This is great! Submit it please so I can 5$ it. And pink does look best.
|
|
atomic child on May 19 '08
i kinda wanna see an orange version too
|
|
MrWolfy on May 19 '08
Ha ha great idea and execution. does anybody think he should be a little more pissed off?
|
|
this is SLAM DUNK
|
|
i mean this is A slam dunk. this rules so much.
|
|
Madshadow on May 19 '08
I know I put my input in already, but I do think more expression can be put in his face, mostly his eyes. Is he angry that he doesn't have a hand, or is he sad? Its hard to tell from the picture.
Also, the t shirt color (silver vs tan) gives a very different feel as well. The tan gives a more nostalgic feel, in my opinion, whereas the silver seems more modern. |
|
coma_girl on May 19 '08
i love it in these colours... but I agree with madshadow, it would be really funny if he has a surprised/horrified look...
|
|
great either way not sure what sports teams color is pink? WNBA game?
|
|
I think he has a numb, surprised look, madshadow. I don't want to make his expression too defined or complex. He is but a simple creature!
I think I'll swith it from pink to orange before I sub it. Maybe change it up so charlie is wearing the silver tee and the green on sand is the main pic. |
|
Maybe I'll try making him a bit more angry looking...
|
|
ISABOA on May 19 '08
I like the green the best IMHO i'm with joe. i love the green. although, you may very well run into gumby comparisons......ah whatever, we all know this is printing either way. |
|
Also - ed, it's not really important that it relates to a specific team, but for arguement's sake, Italian football team Palermo wear pink. :)
|
|
Mr. Raab on May 20 '08
My mouth is dry, so dry that a sidewinder just slithered out STRAIGHT!!! I love it :D
http://www.threadless.com/critique/344462/Home_Sweet_Gnome |
|
Mr. Raab on May 20 '08
Im a fan of the pink
|
|
Excellent! awesome idea and execution is almost there.
I'll be buying this sick puppy Aled. |
|
I love how the crowd looks at him like a normal dude.
|
|
Thanks guys. I like the pink also, but I'm gonna switch it to orange to give it a broader appeal.
|
|
no, stick with the pink fatheed! i'm sure it wont hurt the score.
(actually... change it to whatever, but when it goes to print secretly change it back to pink) love it on silver too. again this is my favorite of yours i think! |
|
Fuck it. I might just go crazy and roll with this version!
|
|
worrrd
|
|
Fignewtonsunite on May 20 '08
this is great! I like the tan and green the best....I guess I just like those colors better.

I like version 4 best :)

The Jolly Brewer on May 20 '08
go with the green. Genius!
|
|
Really the colors are no big deal. It's great any color purple, green, pink, orange. Don't rack your brain about it.
orange you be awesome. DA BEARS!! |
|
like ed said teh color doesnt matter any color would work really this is amazing really nice work on this
|
|
I put the pink version on tee instead, as more people liked the tan, I think. I tried orange, but I wasn't happy with it. Pink looks much better on the silver. I'm not going to embelish his expression - I want to keep him as round and simple as possible. I think this is it.
|
|
looks good dood!
|
|
courtney pie on May 20 '08
fantastic! the crowd is outstanding. as is his expression
|
|
courtney pie on May 20 '08
think i like colors from v4 best. and i'm not really a sand color fan.
|
|
Do you mean, you prefer the turquoise to the brighter green?
|
|
Becasue the fabric is essentially the same, except I lightened it a little.
|
|
Chrissylou on May 20 '08
Very cute
|
|
SEVEN-HUNDRED on May 20 '08
Incredible.
Tho, does the right hand side end as suddenly as it does on your preview? Or is it more like the left hand side in reality? |
|
That top right bit is like that at the moment - that's how it kind of natually happened. I can change that up a bit quite easily to break up the illusion of an 'edge'. Thanks guys.
|
|
i liked the character in blue
|
|
Electricsalmoon on May 20 '08
complete awesomeness.
|
|
best ever
|
|
I loved your original color choice for the monster, it's still a great illustration but i think the other one was much more eye-pleasing
|
|
ilv1 on May 20 '08
I still kind of like the monster color in V4 but this is a definite winner anyway....
Check out my crappy WIPs: http://www.threadless.com/critique/21073/Singing_Portrait http://www.threadless.com/critique/21072/Color_Tree |
|
Gigguli on May 20 '08
I like the turqoise monster also. What about a more colorful color as base? A bananna shirt with purple monster, or other complementary colors? (Would give more of a "sports-team" coloring also. :)
I would kinda love to model this tee :D I only don't have a foam hand for it, but that is the least of the problems! :) |
|
Thanks guys. I've reverted to the original colour, but added a green hue. It's kind of a mix of both.
|

This is being subbed now... Will post the link to the submission page in a min.
