 - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Original BASIC Sketch:


DETAILED Sketch (a little bigger)


INKED (a little bigger)


70% COLORED (a little bigger)


DONE COLORING!!!


I was thinking a toy (an action figure in this case) can mean so many things to so many different people, so I'm showing the same action figure in three different scenes: as a collector, a toy for a child, and a chew toy for a dog.

Any input at all appreciated, I will post more as I make progress.

Finally Finished!!!

very cool idea indeed, just make sure the toy is the same exact toy :)

Resistance on Jun 23 '09 at 3:11pm
Yeah, alex nailed it... keep the top exactly the same and this is a great idea.

also since its rough right now I would try maybe working on the foundation of the linework, I know it's your style but trying to keep proportion within the figures etc , right now the dogs looks cool, but would like to see the kid and older person more in proportion but still keeping your cartoon feel to it

I like it so far. If you can, try to make it more obvious that the collector is a collector.

cARtOoNer on Jun 27 '09 at 11:17am
ya, and just so you know i think the colors are off.... does it look like its on a bright yellow t shirt sort of? because on the computer i colored it on, the colors are a bit off, so it should be tan.... im going to have to fix it some how but i have no idea how
Resistance
Resistance on Jun 27 '09 at 11:36am
Yup, background looks yellow
cARtOoNer
cARtOoNer on Jun 27 '09 at 12:31pm
dangit.... see my labtop, which i colored it on, has a slightly different tint than my other monitor and i thought it was the "right" tint, but when i subbed this here and looked on another computer it was yellow and i was like?!?!?! thats not what i colord it like DANGIT so i need to fix it some how idk how other than just guestimate the colors. i wish i could have it how i see it on my labtop
cARtOoNer
cARtOoNer on Jun 27 '09 at 12:55pm
there i guest-imated the colors that it roughly was as i saw it on my labtop where i colored it, and this is more the colors that i see it being. it should be now more tan looking maybe with the slightest orange tint.

The idea is very cool and I loved style of the illo, very distinct and lot's of personality. Maybe a bigger, bolder, composition and placement would have done better? Who the fuck knows, just way underscored IMO. Keep going, you've got talent and if you'd care to go through my first subs, I was desperately trying to break 2 but didn't, it might make you feel better :D

again thanks for the support quister, when i feel like ive been underscored it always makes me step back and think man... should i keep doing this. but comments like yours (along with my love of designing/drawing) make me wake up on days like today and get back to the drawing boards! another design to come soon!
jeffreyg
jeffreyg on Jul 20 '09 at 5:52pm

cARtOoNer on Jul 20 '09 at 5:59pm

All about me


I'm just another college student that loves art and wearing clothes on a regular basis. To this date (regretfully) I've never taken an art class outside of elementary school, and although because of that I consider myself "self taught" I have had some help along the way (much of it in these blogs). I am pursuing a Computer Science and Math double major and when I have time will build my own website with my art on it. So keep a look out and for now just check out my flickr and my subs.

Thanks,
Aaron aka cARtOoNer
