It's not supposed to look so gruesome :\

oh

Cool design, but make the line work in the skull match that of the rest of the design- smaller, whispier marks. Crit mine?

mmmthanks, i will do that.

my suggestion matched the one from before, so I won't say it again- also, if there's a way to have familiar shapes makin gup the skull it may not seem so gruesome. I know it's a cliche', but the kids go for that sort of thing......
I really lke the battom half of the design, it just works on size, texture and shape.
Crit mine?

This is cool but the placement is kinda weird.

(and my shirt's not gross D=

I'm kinda lost of the entire idea of the design, when i first glimpsed at it i thought cool a bunch of faces in a mountain side. I dunno what exactly it is you are trying to go for.

there also doesn't seem to be a point to the wrap around, it looks like an awesome concept just not hitting the mark just yet.

okay, thanks a lot!

ggepic, can you explain to me what it is you are trying to accomplish here? is there a concept or an idea or just a bad ass drawing?

I ask because I would like to better critque your work, but i need to know what it is you are going for

it is an old design I made and I'd used to have the face of the guy from bloc party. But since I can't use that I had to change the face. I don't rlli like the skull, but idk what to put in its place. The animals and stuff are just designs like were all connected to the world around us,animal, mountains, planetsthat we are alljist intertwine in it. The skull looks dumb, and was just there so that I wouldn't be using a copywriter image. Sorry

thats really cool! for design purposes I think that the earth is in an awkward position maybe you could have it in the middle, so like you said everything is connected to it. I agree about the skull part but i the rest of your design is awesome so i'm sure if you took the time you can make the skull look just as awesome

okay, thanks lol.
i'm trying to think of something i could maybe put instead of the skull too because i don't like how cliche skulls are.

sweet design but not sure about the yellow tee tho, kind of a dark design and but the color of the tee doesnt complement it.
critique mines plz

changed a lot of stuff.

I can't tell what you changed except the size and butterflies, but I still like it. The only thing holding it back however is that skull. It just still seems like an afterthought. It's not incorporated into the design like the other components, it's just sitting there. Also, I don't like how there is an implied 'neck' to it. If it was my design, I'd connect it to the rest of it with a spine, done in the same 'root-like' style. Now, that white space almost looks like a chest to the skull man with the neck and all. I really like the design, but the skull, the neck, and the solid white part are keeping it from really working. Keep it up.

mmkay, i understand.
and, as a matter of fact. The skull was an afterthought lol.
I had to change it too avoid copyright issues.


thanks

copyright issues? while on the subject though, you may even want to redraw it because it doesn't look proportionally or anatomically correct

well, i orignally drew it with the guy from bloc party, but i changed it. Dont worry lol, i made everything there.

and, i will not redraw it. It took to long to make this.

Not everything, the rest is great! I just meant the features on the skull. Don't touch the rest!

i have to agree, the skull isn't anatomically correct. the jaw is too big, the teeth come out too far and the cheek bones are a bit low... get some references and try fixing it up.

the way the skull is now really "cheapens" the design because it looks like it's been drawn poorly. i'm sure this took a while but hey.. if you've already spent so much time on it might as well put in a few more hours to make it even better.

otherwise you have some very cool elements going on in this design :)

well said

have you tried it without the skull and nothing in its place?

I like the style, but I would agree with the other guys in redrawing just the skull and filling in that blank space. The skull looks really basic compared to te rest of the artwork, and it looks like it's wearing a shirt. Other than that, it's fantastic. Well played.

mmm okay...
will do

maybe you can draw the skull in the empty place, and not have anything on top, you know what I mean?

looks great! but it is missing something
