There's always the joke about the cookie jar, and that you should keep your hands off it. The cookie man's angry because all his cookies are gone.

I'm having trouble with trying to show an empty cooke jar

I don't know if I get it. Mmmm.. You have to show something about a cookie jar that's empty so people know what you are talking about.

Can you take a look at mine?

Yup. New version's up. I wonder about that jar though. I need to portray it better I think.

Any comments on improving it?

Any comments on improving it?

One thing that seems a little distracting to me is that the shirt color and the color of the character's face/cookie jar all start to blend into each other. I think a little more contrast in this design would help punch it up. Good stuff.

Sorry, I don´t get the joke. And the guy looks a bit like from south park.

If you find the time, let me know your thoughts about my designs:
Dark side of the moon
Desperate Houses
Unsolvable Rubik

Nerdcat and Giraffic suicide are now up for scoring!
I appreciate if you score or comment on it!

Yeah looks close to a south park character. Not a bad thing it's a great show. Not sure I get the joke either. As far as design the yellow cookie jar gets lost in the gray. Some shading and contrast should fix that.

Thoughts on mine would be appreciated.

Haha thanks for the comments. Will work on the colour scheme and making the whole cookie thing more obvious

I guess it looks like the south park guys due to the style of art. I don't really watch south park though. Look forward to my next version!

Most of my observations line up w/ the previous posters: too much like a South Park character, not enough colour contrast, idea not clear (not too sure what you can do about that, but my intitial reaction was "huh?"; then I read the title, and my reaction was still , "huh?"

I'd have a look at some tutorials on developing a character, like the ones at Smashing Magazine & Vector Tuts +, for inspiration, then start over.

Like the others I don't get the joke either.
I like the first submission. Although the are no idea in it, it just at some point funny to have an angry man on your shirt. I would bye it.

Feel free to commit my design
