NEW SUB-- final draft?

Maybe it's overkill, but here's the latest. Any and all comments welcome... ?

Frank Vice on May 20 '06 at 11:54pm

i like it :)

funkstart on May 20 '06 at 11:57pm

Thanks...

rrich76 on May 21 '06 at 12:01am

cool! what's it called?

funkstart on May 21 '06 at 12:05am

Ummm... well, I'm thinking something like

The Welcoming Committee

It's a Dead Man's Party

or a combination thereof.

montmont on May 21 '06 at 12:30am

not so keen on the rendering of the drawing, it looks really rough, but not in a hand drawn way, more bad photoshop resolution way

but, in saying that, the idea is OK, good colours.

Why use the line quality that you have?

funkstart on May 21 '06 at 10:15am

Oh... hmm... I kinda liked the sketchy look. Is the general consensus that it looks like bad resolution?

heh

joecacola on May 21 '06 at 2:45pm

sweet. A 5, depending on size on shirt. I don't know if a full shirt size print would look as good as a smaller one. Or perhaps even separate the top from the bottom by a few inches...? I dunno.

littlem on May 21 '06 at 2:48pm

i think you don't need that turquoise colour... ?

funkstart on May 21 '06 at 4:12pm

Yeah, I'm generally not a fan of the full shirt size print anyway, and I think it would just look cheezy.

PuterBoy on May 21 '06 at 4:16pm

I think it looks really nice.

PuterBoy on May 21 '06 at 4:16pm

I think it looks really nice.

funkstart on May 21 '06 at 9:10pm

But if I get rid of the turquoise, there's no shadow... hm... is it not reading as the candle giving off light?

Frank Vice on May 21 '06 at 9:37pm

i would $5 just like this

funkstart on May 21 '06 at 9:39pm

Oooooh... sad face. I kinda liked the colors. Tell you what-- I'll experiment a little.

Dark green would work, sure.

froglady77 on May 21 '06 at 9:39pm

Funk, you already know you're my hero. Despite that, I'm blown away at some of the lukewarm responses here - everything about this design is outstanding: the composition, the rough strokes (montmont's response is incredibly subjective), the characters and use of color (yeah, it reads as candle light)... Tim Burton would be all over this - and so would I.

mikemills on May 21 '06 at 9:42pm

Funk - that was me^^^

froglady77 is my wife, and my biggest fan : )

Sorry - this happens sometimes...

funkstart on May 21 '06 at 9:42pm

I'm your hero?! But everyone's only hero should be Michael Dudikoff... or maybe, in a pinch, James Remar!

mikemills on May 21 '06 at 9:45pm

James Remar - he's that guy from that movie, right?

funkstart on May 21 '06 at 9:55pm

Yeah... you know, the that movie with that things where all those people go to that place. And then all that stuff happens? You know?

Yeah. That was TOTALLY AWESOME.

Oh GOD. White Fang is on Telemundo. "Comilla Blanca" or something. I don't remember it being so bad. Ethan Hawk is a ween.

ANYWAY, yeah, I still think I'm going to experiment on different colors. Though I'm partial to mint for some reason.

funkstart on May 21 '06 at 10:25pm

It's the midwest in me. Sometimes I'm too nice. The best criticism is given with a smile and a wink.

Besides, I've read some really awful comments given by people... it just makes my skin crawl. I can't be mean, even if I'm almost entirely faceless.

And I'm glad you chose the burgundy/red. It was a very pleasing combo.

funkstart on May 22 '06 at 9:11am

Man... I've been trying it out with other colors, but they're lookin' "a not so gouda," as I like to say. On dark green may look the best, but the denim still looks better. Or maybe it's just my eyes. Do I have glaucoma?

stingerstyler on May 22 '06 at 9:14am

I agree with montmont's comments - the idea is very nice and the execution and colours as well, I just don't really like the distressed or vague line edges. For the rest this is very submittable!

funkstart on May 22 '06 at 9:22am

So... do you mean the stipling thing (or whatever you call it) inside the gravestones as well?

funkstart on May 22 '06 at 10:40am

mikemills on May 22 '06 at 1:21pm

Sub it, funk - it's great as is.

funkstart on May 22 '06 at 1:22pm

Yeah, I should probably stop playing with it. I've just made the ghosties a little bigger... that's about it. I'll go for it.

Andonium on May 22 '06 at 1:25pm

$500

funkstart on May 22 '06 at 1:55pm

Alright... it was just submitted.

Go! Go out into the world, ye little ghosties, and seek ye fortune!

5115 on May 22 '06 at 3:01pm

Hopefully it will be up before 1948114 years or the apocalypse whichever is first... I hate waiting for them to go live! :(

funkstart on May 22 '06 at 3:02pm

true dat.

groundcontrol on May 22 '06 at 3:07pm
