this is a reference to the old JOUST video game from the 80's, it also can work as a complete non-sequitur.



the shirt will be black and the car and truck shape above and below the knight will be the shirt's color. I plan on a halftone fade behind the buildings making a semi-circle shape between the top of the truck cab cutout and the top right point of the car roof.

This is freakin awesome...can't wait to see it inked

Wear is it gonna be placed?

joust was awesome.

And this is a really cool idea. Lookin forward to the colored version

I loved Joust, even though I was terrible at it. I could see the ostrich leaping over a bridge out sign, with some construction workers scattering. Something to go along with the different levels of that game. Or the ostrich is leaping from one highway to another, instead of waiting for an exit ramp. Nice start. If you get a chance, can you score/comment on mine? http://www.threadless.com/submission/198887/Watch_Your_back

Thanks

ha! is his watch going to be a sundial?

Those aren't bad ideas, mreisel. I want to embrace the mundane though. To contrast the energy of the game.

Ooh, I will indeed snag that sundial idea!

I feel like something is missing from the style.

Any ideas?

Added the shadow extending from the ostrich's foot and added a darker pink to the color palette to shade the ostrich better

the raised ostrich foot behind the car was bothering me and screwing up the perspective, so I moved it out front.

tis a slow day for comments in here today isn't it?



i hadn't noticed there was anything wrong with the foot till you moved it, now i think it looks a bit strange, i think i'd have it behind the bumper of the truck, i've no idea if an ostriches leg could move that way, but i think it would look right.



also maybe try putting the headlights on on both the vehicles, but that might mess with how the limited colour is working at the moment, worth a try though, tis pretty great.



help with mine;

thanks

This is sweet even without my knowing anything about joust. There are definitely a couple things you could clean up. first, the knight is kind of hard to read, it took me a minute at first. maybe it's because his legs aren't there. second, if they're running late, I'd like to see some more hustle from that ostrich. last, the front of the truck is very flat, I think maybe some perspective tilt would make it a little less wonky. I can't wait to see the next version of this. I'd also be thrilled if you could suggest a color scheme for this.

Nice style....kinda hard to see the knight or whatever it is riding on the bird. That would help it a lot I think

lightened the knight

I love the idea....its really clutery and hard to make out though...the surrondings are too distracting from the main element. Maybe lessin the details on the cars and either lose the sun or make it bigger?...maybe a differant color tshirt too...

feel free to crit mine!
