This is either the coolest shirt ever or the dumbest thing I've ever designed. Hahaha...

Here is the cleaned-up rough cut of a design I'm about 25% done. It's called "Penguins Rock" because they do! Haha. I said that in conversation with my roommate today and I immediately had this image in my head. I just had to make a shirt.



UPDATED TO VERSION 2! They now have some instruments going on....

I'll update the post when I update the image later on, as it progresses...

Let me know what you think!

Haha yeah...I was going to call it "Not Another Penguin Shirt" but the cringe-worthy name is part of the kitsch factor. Bwahaha.

Oh this is awesome! Maybe add in some color too. I love it!

I was thinking of adding in some greytones after all the basic design is done. Making the drums look shiny and such. Maybe some orange? Since Emperor penguins have that pretty orange spots near their necks...

Yeah, orange is a good idea.

^When you add in the guitar and bass, maybe make the black body on it electric green.



Whatever, good luck!

I hate penguins. Really, I am so sick of them I could strangle someone. But this shirt idea is simply too awesome to hate. I think I have a newfound appreciation for penguins now.



Can't wait to see it finished, I'll give it a 5+$ fo' sho'

Yay I'm so glad I changed your opinion of penguins! Yeah, there are a lot of crap penguin shirts out there right now, but I'm trying to make a slightly less crap one. Haha.

cenent_shoes. Hehe thanks for the pick. I want him to have a flying V guitar, tho, since penguins can't fly, i figure it's funny. The bass is going to be a trusty fender P-Bass because that's what I play.

I'm sorry to say this again, but...enough with the penguins...seriously...I mean...it's time to move on...

   azrielen on Sep 05 '05 at 10:44pm
Never! Haha. I think everyone is entitled to make one penguin shirt if they like penguins. This is my one and only penguin shirt, ever, I promise.



Updated image coming in a minute....

It looks really cool. One thing, however, the penguin on bass needs to be interactiong more with the instrument.

And the bass player should be left-handed. That would be awesome.
azrielen
   azrielen on Sep 05 '05 at 11:42pm
Yeah he will be interacting more, I just haven't had the time to re-do his flippers yet. Or add instrument straps. Or fix the placemet...or add the amps and wires. Haha. Yeah this is like 33% done.....

in case you want suggestions, heres mine: Would be fun if they were more in action. Open the lead singers beak. Put the bassist's flippers on the bass. Right now, those two dont look so sure they want to be there.

I'm guessing for this to get printed you might want to add more pep, perhaps some color ~ on drums, guitars, a crooked tie on the lead singer. I dunno. maybe it'd be lame to ad any clothes. experiment.

the penguins might have some yellow or orange, if they are that kind of penguin.

I like that penguins playing drum

LoL to be honest, I hated this at first glance, but its making me laugh right now.

I think the jumping guitarist penguin is the funniest. Penguins don't jump, so seeing one rocking out like a punk star is great. If I didn't think It would be too much, the guitarist would have a mohawk...



quoperate (i like your name) - Thanks! Yes, I think I'm adding in some orange for sure. They are emporer penguins, so they have orange on their necks. And yes, the singer and bassist will be interacting more, no worries. The way I'm making the pic is starting with a basic no-rocking penguin drawing, adding instruments, then modifying the drawing to fit the instrument. Those two just haven't made it that far thru the process yet. heh.

Im glad you drew penguins properly.



Some people draw them and they look all square, like.



The bassist doesnt appear to be holding the bass right :\



Its ace otherwise!

The Singer seems to be overlapping the Cymbal Stand a bit oddly by his arm.

You should make the drums and the guitar the color of the shirt.
azrielen
   azrielen on Sep 06 '05 at 9:51am
bortwein: Thanks, yeah that does look a bit odd. He'll likely change position before this is done, tho.



xiv: That's a good idea! I'll see how that looks. I have no idea what shirt color to put this on. I think i'll sub it as an swf with a color selector option.
xiv
   xiv on Sep 06 '05 at 10:03am
i think it would work best on blue, green and red.
bortwein

I'd love to see this with each of the different band members in a unique print color of their own. Nothing crazy, just each different. That would probably limit you to the light colored shirts or else it might look odd.



I like the design and I look forward to seeing your final submitted version.
