whoah that looks great justin!

Krakaboom on May 05 '09 at 10:01pm

Gosh this went to page 2 very quickly!

Krakaboom on May 05 '09 at 10:09pm

Thanks Brett! It was certainly interesting doing a 4-colour design - normally I'd have gone for about 6 colours for something like this.

Krakaboom on May 05 '09 at 10:15pm

Man I gotta go to bed soon.

rodrigobhz on May 05 '09 at 10:19pm

I like this A LOT!

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 2:04am

Thanks rodrigobhz!

kaloyster on May 06 '09 at 2:06am

krakaboom you might wanna make your template 640x480 :)

Aquarium on May 06 '09 at 2:11am

^ Is 640x480 a requirement for this comp?

Aquarium on May 06 '09 at 2:13am

Forgot to add - Krakaboom, I'm in awe of how much you've done with just 4 colors!

emilymmkay on May 06 '09 at 2:15am

that aaaaaaalmost looks too oversized

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 3:33am

Whoops! Thanks Kaloyster - that's what happens when you're up at 4am on a worknight!

Thanks Aquarium!

emily: Hmmm.... I've reduced it a bit. It's 14cm x 14cm right?

ivejustquitsmoking on May 06 '09 at 3:44am

coolness!

Aquarium on May 06 '09 at 3:50am

14x14 inches, no? So about 35x35 cm?

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 3:56am

Thanks Marco.

Aquarium: Good question! I'll ask. 14inches x 14 inches is still pretty big, right?

ivejustquitsmoking on May 06 '09 at 3:57am

inches

ivejustquitsmoking on May 06 '09 at 3:58am

yeah i think it's still fairly big

ArTrOcItY on May 06 '09 at 4:01am

This should've been around for the green comp!Great illo!

Aquarium on May 06 '09 at 4:04am

If I measured it right, my copy of ISABOA's Sinister Dexter shirt is about this size, so it looks like it fills most of a girly shirt but not all of a guys shirt.

Aquarium on May 06 '09 at 4:05am

Oh - but that's listed as oversized printing!

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 6:30am

Thanks Artrocity!

Aquarium - now you've really got me confused!

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 9:06am

Anyone know the answer?

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 9:25am

Yes? No?

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 10:55am

Sheesh. Nobody knows?

ArTrOcItY on May 06 '09 at 11:19am

I think you're good, I submitted this one and than changed the tamplet and I just got mail from Rachel that it's acceptable for the contest and I think your design is smaller so there shouldn't be any problem.

Peaceful afternoon - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

bsweber on May 06 '09 at 11:21am

i'd say 14x14 inches

stalliongsta on May 06 '09 at 12:33pm

dude, it's inches. 14cm would be one hell of a small print area.

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 2:34pm

Thanks again Artrocity. I like your design - it's got great atmosphere and looks nice on the shirt.

Yeah, if it's 14 inches there's no problem with size. In fact, I've made it a bit bigger now on the shirt :)

Thanks Brett and Stallion!

TheInfamousBaka on May 06 '09 at 2:38pm

Amazing use of 4 colors, it's perfect! :)

ounom on May 06 '09 at 2:41pm

Ready!! ;)

BlameTheSuburbs on May 06 '09 at 2:46pm

What process did you use for that? Is that just drawn straight up in photoshop?

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 3:16pm

Thanks Baka & Ounom :)

Blamethesuburbs - drawn by hand on paper, then coloured on Photoshop.

jess4002 on May 06 '09 at 3:16pm

whoa!

luckybeitia on May 06 '09 at 3:17pm

yes it is!

Jaffacakelover on May 06 '09 at 3:18pm

Can't see a 'yes' button, so i'll type here... this is good and done, put it through! :)

EricaTheRed on May 06 '09 at 3:30pm

sub it!

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 3:50pm

I will! Thanks for the encouragement, guys :)

brentendo on May 06 '09 at 4:22pm

wow awesome man! looks great for a 4 colour design! the flowers and shading kind of remind me of Dangerous.

igo2cairo on May 06 '09 at 4:25pm

Wow, that looks super-cool! Sub it!

Wonderlove on May 06 '09 at 4:29pm

Looks great.
The only thing I would suggest is a little more reflection on the lower part of the glass (over the soil).

againstbound on May 06 '09 at 4:29pm

Sweet stuff, I kinda wished the butterfly stood out more, like to accentuate the life in this a bit more. I know plants are alive, but nothing says life more than a moving, fluttering, colorful being.

againstbound on May 06 '09 at 4:30pm

Ah, I just saw it's for the challeneg and you can't include more colors, dismiss my previous comment.

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 5:21pm

Brentendo: I have Dangerous and it looks amazing in reality!

Thanks Terry!

Good suggestion, Wonderlove. I'll try and fix that.

Hector: I absolutely agree - I'd love to have a bit of orange to play with for this design. I'll probably end up resubbing it in a few months :p

Actually I've been thinking of maybe making the two flowers in the robot's head to look more like eyes. Let's see if I can get that to work.

Krakaboom on May 06 '09 at 6:11pm

New version with eyes. Better?
