What do you think? Is it gettable? Has it already been done? All comments very welcome :P

Are you going to add any colors?

yup this i just finished inking it, just wanted to get some feedback before i proceed :P

it seems like there's a lot going on - I might try to simplify it some before coloring



Any input for this design?

There's alot goin on alright, I'll bear it in mind, though i reckon it will be easier to follow when it's colored maybe hehe

bump

i really like the style of drawing here, maybe add colors and let see what happens. also, fix the hand a bit more.



if you have time look at my submitted design up for scoring:

http://www.threadless.com/submission/226041/Alien_Discovery

Thanks, yeah I'll probably start coloring it soon. Anyone else?

This looks pretty cool. I think the heads on the stands could be removed (3 of em), to help reduce everything going on. The large voodoo doll is the little one below him right? The man is placing needles in him, so hes getting revenge. You could possibly remove one, if not both, of the needles in the big doll.



I hope this does not make as drastic changes as your feudal beach dispute, which now looks better without the crabs' limbs blocking the view of the castle.



Could you please comment and vote on my design?

Thansk isawa! you got the point yay hehe, I'm not sure if they are the same doll, but he might be taking revenge on the behalf of all voodoo dolls:P This will most likley not go through any major changes so you don't have to worry, I'm working on the coloring right now, and I'll think about maybe cleaning it up a little.

it looks like a bomb idea...but try to add some color

Thanks I'm working on the colors right now :P

With color, what do you think? :P not sure about the title, would be happy to get some new title suggestions. Thanks!

oh and click button for placement

The big voodoo doll looks great. The little stuff on the side looks rushed. I like the grey, but might try more of a canvas color.



keep at it.

thanks! yeah i'll probably have to work some more on the other stuff. :P

Hmm maybe, it's intentionally messy, but I'll think about toneing it down some, anyony else got an opninon in the matter?

i was waiting to see what you would do with the color...i like it. the only thing i would suggest is that you remove some some of the focus on the bottom shelf. maybe grey-out some of the dolls

I like the large voodoo doll too. I think you should bring more focus on him by slightly greying-out not just the bottom shelf, but all of the background. The bottom shelf most of all though.

Thanks that sounds like a good idea, I'll work on it :P

bump

changed the coloring to just outlines on the stuff in the shelves so that they hopefully don't draw as much attention from the big doll and the voodoo man as before. What do you think? :P

oh and click button for placement

Plenty to look at in this and it looks good on the tee. Personally I'd prefer to see a little bit of shading on the dolls on the shelves, but definitely better not completely filled

Thanks Ngee, yeah I think I also think that it looks better not completley filled, I might also try having them filled but shaded. What do the rest of you think? :p

The image looks very busy atm at im not sure what to look at personally I would tone down the stuf fon the shelves by putting them in a less contrasting colour

It's interesting I like it very busy but it still works.

thanks guys! randyotter thanks for the tip in case i would like to make it less busy. I personally like pretty contrastin colors and the messyness, what do you think i should do??

I love the design but it is a little hard to know where to look. It's all kinda competing for your attention.

I think the voodoo symbols themselves would make a more interesting and humorous composition, especially if you could create some meaning behind them that links to a single message.

Thanks, yeah the stuff ón the shelves are kinda random voodoo related stuff:P I think i just wanted to make the voodoo man have lots óf weird stuff on his shelves.

bump

I like it. I assume everything in there is there for a reason, so it's great. The only thing that doesn't convince me is the shirt color. I would try maroon or even brown. The grey doesn't feel very voodo-ish to me.

But it's looking good so far!

Thanks monkey, I didn't really feel those colors, but i could post a new v with som tee color samples :P

a monley in a box has right. For me brown would be the best. Wood will be awsome!

Slide 1: design Slide 2: placement Slide 3: Alternate colors



Ok so check out the alternate colors and tell me what you think. Personally I still like the dark grey one the most. I kinda suck at flash, does anyone know how to rename the buttons and like edit the placement and suff on them, and if you only want two or something :P thanks

I agree that grey is the best.



Please check my critique if you have time, thanks.

The drawing is kind of confusing to me. I would actually love this concept if it was really clear and simple on the shirt, maybe a side-view and a murderous face on the doll. Don't know if you're up for starting from scratch though...

It may help if the big needle is more clearly pointed at the voodoo dude.



This could be called Karma :D

Thanks for the advice, no I will probably not be starting from scratch, I think I will try and shorten the big needle and point it so that it's over the voodoo guys head. And thanks for the title advice Akaka, can anyone else think of a good title

I would go with the grey shirt. Nice progression through the different versions. Ready for sub. If you have time feel free to critique mine:

Opps, didn't show the link.

Thanks

i love it, but maybe try working on filling those smaller creatures on the shelves with colors not just have them as outlines, also work on the shadows inside each shelf to show its three dimensional quality.



if you have time. please comment and score:



Chaos

On The Brink of Collapse

Hot!



thanks!

This is cool! I do think this needs to be cleaned up a bit though.. I would straighten the sides of pin and the nail in his head, and I agree with Fhigi25, I would add some detail to the things on the shelves to really refine this piece!

And if you're not busy, I would sure appreciate a comment and score for my second sub ever!!

Thanks! I'll try to clean it up a little, and i'll see if i can add some detail to the stuff in the shelves without making them draw too much attention from the main picture. :P

bump

Nice idea. However I agree about cleaning it up a bit, but not too much to so you still keep that Vodoo-feeling. Also some of the shelves look a bit strange.



David

thanks, I scored and left a comment on your design brightwood

New v with some adjustments, what do you think ?

bump

nice! think it need a color change!

check mine!

thanks, what colors? any suggestions?

bump

this is awesome. i love it. 5



please critique me, im having problems

http://www.threadless.com/critique/55185/if_it_wasnt_for_he

The colors here are a little messy, i'm not so sure about the color of the various figures in the background, they're very hard to see, try things like dulling the overall color scheme. This is a very nice concept though, just think it needs some work. Good luck.

Awesome. Check just those tiny lines and super small details. Because of the screen print limits. ... and submit it.

ah. amazingly sureal design - love it.



not sure about the background/tee colour though, it makes it very cluttered and draws attention away from the characters at the bottom.



i scratch your back, you scratch my back?

http://www.threadless.com/critique/55207/it_came_from_within#v3

Fading out some of the background images helps bring focus to the front much better (especially removing the pink outlines). I think the doll's on the shelves could use some shading, because their style is different than the rest of it.



If you have time, could you please comment and vote on my design? and check my blog for a guess the score contest : )

Thanks for the comments, hmm compared to the previous v I think this v has more focus on the main characterss, Should I try to have even more focus on the main characters?



And regarding the suggested color changes, are there any specific suggestions?

:P

I meant to state that this version's focus on the main characters is successful : ) I like the color choices, so hopefully someone else can comment on that further.

haha thanks isawa, when i re-read your previous post I got it, guess I was kinda tierd :P

If anyone can think of a good title I'd appriciate it :P thanks

sweet color usage here! Some of the white and brown outlined items look a bit off but not too distracting. Maybe a tiny bit smaller and higher up on the tee so the voodoo guy isn't all the way at the bottom.

Use no tittle on a shirt. Just artwork is fine.

Its a unique idea.



I just have a hard time seeing the elements



Maybe try using different line thickness , to isolate individual elements

thanks

I just changed the placement, think I'm kinda happy with it now. However If anyone can think of a good title i'd be happy, just Voodoo is kinda lame right?



click button for placement

I don't think the staffs should be there, particularly the one next to the needle. The line of it makes you first think that it's a part of the needle until you stare at it a bit longer.

hmm ok, anyone else?

Awesome illustration!



The doll in the background looks shiny though rather than fuzzy or whatever it should look like. I guess it's those highlights. Perhaps you should get rid of the white highlights and add more shadows instead.



Best of luck with this!



Help me?

Thanks for the input, but I think I'm gonna sub it like it is, just feel like I wanna move on :P hehe

I'm subbing this v :P

Subbed n pending On Pins and Needles

yowzer! so much going on here, lots to study and enjoy. apart from a a couple of colour choice changes (maybe leaving out the pink) i'd say this is great and ready to go up!



check me out if you have time :-)

thanks skyfly, checked out your designs, they're awesome :P

:-)

Hey great illustration! Guess i'm too late with a title suggestion? I was thinking "You do voodoo, i voodoo you"



Anyways, looks great and also dark! Good luck with this one!



Help with mine? Message (boy) in a bottle

Hehe yup a little late for that but thanks anyway OrangeSensation :P
