Bike Dreams, 2.84 all done!

Finished scoring, thanks everyone for the comments and support!

Bike Dreams - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

As per Ian Leino, I will do a drawing for a $50 GC of all commenters if this prints!!

Any suggestions???
Does anyone get what the top bike is???

IS THIS TOO GEEKY or for GUYS ONLY?

Version 2:
TAN and some additional color...YAY?

Version 3:
Carrying the red throughout each dream bubble...I think this is the strongest.

Blue Jean Version (optional)

olie! on Feb 27 '09 at 6:56pm

this is looking great man.
also I really wish those hoverbikes were real because I want one

davidfromdallas on Feb 27 '09 at 6:58pm

haha this is pretty rad. def know what the very top one is! although the one before it is...umm?

dacat on Feb 27 '09 at 7:01pm

hmmm, there may be some folks that recognize the second to top one :-)

opifan64 on Feb 27 '09 at 7:02pm

tron... and the top one is from return of the jedi... awesome work!

brentendo on Feb 27 '09 at 7:03pm

hahaha that's genius! great idea man

brentendo on Feb 27 '09 at 7:04pm

I think the mono colour works well, but it looks abit odd when put over the clouds, especially on the tron bike, maybe that should be filled in the same colour as the clouds?

brentendo on Feb 27 '09 at 7:05pm

clouds/thought bubbles

dacat on Feb 27 '09 at 7:06pm

Yeah, good call brentendo, I might color in anything sticking above the clouds to give a semi-real look (like the big wheel at the bottom)

ndstillie on Feb 27 '09 at 8:01pm

is the second one from tron?

0Jim0 on Feb 27 '09 at 8:03pm

that's tight; but it does have a lot of man appeal.

toopersent on Feb 27 '09 at 8:03pm

Tron bike FTW!

ISABOA on Feb 27 '09 at 8:03pm

dude, this is brilliant - not only the concept but the illustrations -

you draw bikes very very well.... BIG YES

nathanwpyle at gmail.com on Feb 27 '09 at 8:13pm

amazing detail. Fantastic!

dacat on Feb 27 '09 at 8:14pm

I guess I've always wanted a speeder bike design.

HA HA, only guys have commented here, so I guess my suspicion is right so far!

jess4002 on Feb 27 '09 at 8:17pm

make the shirt pink and you're good to go! ;) haha, it's very clever!

dacat on Feb 27 '09 at 8:23pm

Thanks Jess! Maybe I will put something more feminine up as an option

dacat on Feb 28 '09 at 5:05am

3rd version!

herky on Feb 28 '09 at 5:30am

Looks terrific. Awesome illustrations too.

rodrigobhz on Feb 28 '09 at 5:35am

Ready to fly!

Maybe a shadow under the first bike? Just my 2 cents :)

dacat on Feb 28 '09 at 5:40am

Oh yeah, I was messing with a shadow, let me try puttin' that back!

dacat on Feb 28 '09 at 2:51pm

Thanks for the feedback, almost ready to sub!

Bio-bot 9000 on Feb 28 '09 at 3:17pm

i like V3. the shadows give this some necessary grounding.

just a possibility, maybe the thought bublbes could be stemming from the handlebars of each bike. at least that's what i associate with the "head" of the bike.

but i still think this is way awesome.

westicles on Feb 28 '09 at 3:20pm

Definitely go for Version 3. But it seems that it's a bit of a jump when it goes from motorcycle to Tron...

dacat on Feb 28 '09 at 3:23pm

Thanks for the feedback guys, I subbed it!

I debated whether to go from motorcycle to speeder bike (big jump, but purposely for humor)...but only 4 bikes looked lonely...so I added the Tron bike. I have a motorcycle and I wouldn't want the jump to be just another standard motorcycle :-)

krokun on Feb 28 '09 at 3:25pm

Looking good dude

nathanwpyle at gmail.com on Feb 28 '09 at 3:25pm

Beautiful sub.
I pledge my 5 dollar vote.
Good luck!

brentendo on Feb 28 '09 at 3:27pm

The subbed version looks great, nice work man

rodrigobhz on Feb 28 '09 at 3:31pm

I have a motorcycle and I wouldn't want the jump to be just another standard motorcycle :-)

Makes sense. Absolutely. Loving the colors, the shadow, the bubbles, layout, everything! Good luck!

davidfromdallas on Feb 28 '09 at 3:39pm

Tron. DUH, david!

The color helps a bunch, man. And I love the bottom design. The minimal color kills.

dacat on Feb 28 '09 at 3:45pm

You guys are awesome, it's gonna be a very "guy" shirt though, that's the only thing that worries me!

loopyom on Feb 28 '09 at 3:48pm

Version 3

... I think I could name some girls I know who would wear this one.

againstbound on Feb 28 '09 at 4:13pm

Duuudeee!!! I love it!

dacat on Feb 28 '09 at 4:16pm

Thanks looopyom!
Thanks Hector!
