err. well i guess the idea was suppose to be like a children's fable.

Hey kids use your head or the repo man will come and take it back.

That kind of thing.

Wanted to keep the colours subtle.

let me know what you think.

It would look good with red blood. Design might not go down too well with the higher ups. I'm not sure how decapitation flies around these parts.

anymore?

Haha, I like it. Good character, there. I always thought Repo men lived in holes, or under bridges, or something.

Blood doesn't tend to go over very well on threadless, so try just getting rid of that. That would clean the image up a bit.

I also think you might be able to make your message a bit more clear using just the illustration, so you wouldn't have to use the text on the back (as much as I like it). For instance, I couldn't really tell right away that the giant was a repo guy. Or that this particular buisnessman wasn't using his head. What was he doing on this idle tuesday afternoon to make the repo giant pop his head off? It would make it funnier, cuz you could get the whole joke in one peice, instead of having to wait for the back of the shirt.

The style is great though. I'm loving the idea too. Looking forward to v2.

yay!

big points for:

the wide mesh um... tank top

labeled bag of heads

dead business man

aviator goggles

maybe his bag says use it or lose it - all on one side of the shirt.

not sure that we need to know how The Man wasn't using his head, cause the head reaper already decided. i'll just trust that he knows.

an old friend of mine was a repo man. worse than telemarketing. no ones happy to see you, and it's not like you get to keep the car after you take it. this kinda looks like him actually.

i'm too new to know the politics of this here threadless, but it is kinda brutal. part of it's charm, i say. nice work.



check me out if you get a chance:

thanks! good luck.

so i've worked up a less gory version, without blood.

I'm new here, so any advise about what kind of thing threadless will go for and what's too violent would be great.

Two people said I should submit this and two said I shouldn't (but didn't leave a comment). If you don't like it could you let me know if its the style or the content (or both) that you don't like, that would be great.

joel

yea-i've yet to submit a design for real here myself so I'm just learning too. But that said - this is awesome...

very cool! love the colors and all the random details on the troll guy. i think the blood puddle (if that is what that is) on the back for v2 needs some work; i like the back better in v1, but it is rather gory. still, as a non-goth girl, i would wear this, so it can't be that gory :). nice job!

Yes it was just suppose to be shadow (looked like it was missing something without the blood pool), but maybe I need to work on it a bit.

great drawing!!! maybe if you add a few more colors...maybe different shirt color...anyway I think that the shirt is ready for submitting ;)

cheers for all the comments.

I've changed the back a little.

other than that i think i'm ready to submit.

as always any feedback would be great.

joel

oh i get it lol

but for anybody who didn't get it (it took me a while)

it's kinda gross

i'm sure you weren't going for a sweet image

but...ya know

pretty violent

anymore?

No blood is better. I think this one's ready.



It's terribly intriguing and grotesque. Well done!

Cool design. Submit!

Pls comment my design. Thanks.

Wow very nice, i love it! i think it's good to go. I love the color too!

And from my girlfriend:" The undies is too tight"! haha it's so cute. IT's good!

this is great!

Wonderful illustration!

I think it is ready to sub. I think it might look good to add some highlights with a very light green to give the colors a bit more life, but really it is great either way.

Submit it

SIKK! I think its ready for submission.

Ha i love it, go for the sub!!!!! i shall give you $5 and 50 cents.

Wait... has this already been subbed?

Been and gone, and only scored like 2.2 or something but there you go.

daimmmmm. I dont understand why so many designs get low scores. I think one of the reasons is that some people just keep clicking on 0 no matter what the design is... I saw someone score profile and it was 300+ scores and averaged out to 0.07



Even the designs that get picked are lucky to get over 3

true a lot the the printed design score less than 3.

nearly everyone who commented on the design said they loved and i got loads of "i give it a 5".

No worries i try another design in the next couple of weeks.

Hey, nice work. Grotesque yet looks good. Like the illustration.
