how could I possibly critique that? You mock me with your brilliant artistry.

Nice sub.

spires on Sep 14 '06 at 11:38pm

Wow, that's one of the nicest compliments I've ever received and I am thoroughly blushing.

:-)

I must agree with the great Dictador here.

I suppose all I can sugest is add some sort of similar effect to the carts? Perhaps to the wings.

They remind of the Flying toasters... lol, excellent job.

slaterock on Sep 14 '06 at 11:41pm

oh wow. wow. oh wow. Beautiful.

spires on Sep 14 '06 at 11:56pm

Thanks tintin220 and Slaterock!

I'm debating putting some human riders in a flying cart, to signify the two main characters from the movie. Too literal a concept?

I'm also wondering if I need anything else to fill this out. Is this enough?

Fidel said it nicely

I'm sure if I was smart I could find ways to make it much better but sadly I'm an idiot

sould you please make sure this gets printed
i want it

sweetness yet again mi amigo.

chelly on Sep 15 '06 at 11:06am

in the swirly center thing, i think instead of going to a couple solid circles, you should make it look like a black (navy) hole. it would make the image play with the eyes because it could either be a cone or a pyramid. hope that makes sense.

not a fan of the solid flower.

should the other carts have faces?

great sub by the way. i say don't even worry about putting people in there. but if you do, it'll still be wonderful.

I really liek this it doenst need any characters IMO as for tintins sugg. maybe add a dotted border to teh wings just to tie the two styles together? just a suggestion

This is really quite lovely, especially the colours.

amy122166 on Sep 15 '06 at 12:20pm

love the technique...makes me want to go back to bed and dream :)

spires on Sep 15 '06 at 12:25pm

hey guys, thanks for all the input! Makes me feel like this one has some potential :)

Thanks all for the suggestions. I think that I'll add some outlines to the wings to bring that style into the carts.

Does anyone else have an issue with the solid flower towards the top?

amy122166 on Sep 15 '06 at 12:26pm

i like the flower!

iotadial on Sep 15 '06 at 12:27pm

are you going to submit this today?

spires on Sep 15 '06 at 12:30pm

I'll submit it as soon as I figure out how to present it the best possible way.

I'm thinking flash, but I'm not sure how the strokes will fare during the conversion.

shirtflirt on Sep 15 '06 at 12:41pm

you know, upon second investigation, i don't like the flower on top.
too solid
too white.

all else rocks.

Ste7en on Sep 15 '06 at 12:43pm

I agree about the flower

Stubby42 on Sep 15 '06 at 12:44pm

Its good but I'm not sure what it would look like on a tee, could you do one of those images?

spires on Sep 15 '06 at 12:50pm

sure stubby

I'm going to upload an update soon with flower and wings changes

spires on Sep 15 '06 at 1:37pm

wulla: it's all illustrator lines, made dotted

shirt: I'm going to post a preview, I need help on presentation. Long designs are hard to present. The preview will have that flower behind the orbit.

wullagaru on Sep 15 '06 at 1:46pm
