ahahaha!!! i like A.

So awesome.
I think the red guy either needs a second arm, or his visible arm scaled back. It kind of draws the eye unnecessarily.


Chest Burster is a good title.
also...
Open Sesame?

I like version 2's muted colors.
This is so good.

Version B on sand/gray/beige is good. The green and blue seem too dark.

I dig version B, but way too dark on the tee colours bro.
opifan64
   opifan64 on Oct 29 '11 at 5:21pm
this is version B on a lighter colour:

Photobucket

I guess I'll go with version A though as that seems to be the consensus.
igo2cairo
   igo2cairo on Oct 29 '11 at 5:22pm
Looks great on the creme! I would get more feedback before deciding, it's pretty much a split.

   againstbound on Oct 29 '11 at 5:22pm
I prefer B, and I think it would work well on a bunch of muted colors.
opifan64
   opifan64 on Oct 29 '11 at 5:25pm
or on silver. think I'll play with the colours. I still like version A, but we'll see.

I'll follow the consensus. :P

   igo2cairo on Oct 29 '11 at 5:28pm
silver is great too.
igo2cairo
   igo2cairo on Oct 29 '11 at 5:29pm
also I much prefer the darker brown linework.
opifan64
   opifan64 on Oct 29 '11 at 5:46pm
This is what it would look like on the silver tee.

Looks amazing!

A! I prefer the first silver version, though the brown linework isn't bad and on creme is nice too. I feel as though I prefer the first because the muppet's colours pop most on silver with the blueish linework. I don't think it will make much difference in the end though on the score. It's a great design.

I was recently in NY and there's this really great Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria (Queens). Just wanted to recommend it... There were a lot of muppets there and sketchbook drawings and silkscreen posters Jim made in his university days as well as a lot of videos including this one called Time Piece which is so fun:


(just a short clip from it, I think the full length one is ten or so minutes long)

I'd love to visit that museum.... sounds awesome! So cool seeing the video, haha.

B for me on the cream or silver.
ginetteginette
   ginetteginette on Oct 29 '11 at 6:35pm
It was a pretty sweet little museum. They even had Robin William's fat suit from Mrs Doubtfire! I was stoked.

I tried version B with blue linework and brighter colours. I think I still prefer A.

spacesick and gg always knows best.
spacesick
   spacesick on Oct 29 '11 at 6:46pm
I think A packs more punch
spacesick
   spacesick on Oct 29 '11 at 6:47pm
aww shucks
thedeetzes
   thedeetzes on Oct 29 '11 at 6:47pm
I like A better too. Way better. B looks like the sketch for the real design, A.

   myteemo on Oct 29 '11 at 7:02pm
Never trust a spacesick. :P

Okay, A it is!

dang... never saw that. :/

nothing new under the sun it seems.

hard to be 'truly original' when doing a pop culture parody anyway. I don't think it's a big deal, you should still submit it.
d3d
   d3d on Oct 29 '11 at 7:23pm
yeah i don't mean to discourage you. i expect yours will do a lot better than mine did.
jeffreyg
jeffreyg on Oct 29 '11 at 7:24pm
i like yours a lot better than leons
opifan64
   opifan64 on Oct 29 '11 at 7:28pm
okay... as long as you're cool with me subbing it Leon. I honestly never saw yours. I was actually inspired by "Wild Night" the more recent muppet print. I started thinking what other twist you could put on the whole muppet/hand relationship.

I prefer the shading style of B. I feel that the textures in A are trying to steal attention away from the hand. Also B blends in the shirt better than A. But they're both good!
myteemo
   myteemo on Oct 29 '11 at 7:53pm
^agreed. The shading seems haphazard and blobbed.

This version. Just like this. Instant buy from me.
opifan64
   opifan64 on Oct 29 '11 at 9:01pm
hmm... now I'm confused. I tried a version with some halftones. not sure if it's better or worse.

ginetteginette
   ginetteginette on Oct 29 '11 at 9:17pm
I really don't think there's anything wrong with any of the shading options really. Don't get too caught up in the tiny subjective details. You could refine this forever trying to please everyone in this blog but I think you should just choose the shading you like best. :) $5!
opifan64
   opifan64 on Oct 29 '11 at 9:24pm
haha. thanks. :)

you're probably right.
mike bautista
mike bautista on Oct 29 '11 at 9:28pm
Yeah either way it'll score well, I think. I just preferred B because the linework for the shading reminded me of a more storybooky look.
igo2cairo
   igo2cairo on Oct 29 '11 at 9:36pm
I really like the new version, think the shading adds some depth without being distracting. Awesome job!

that last one you posted at 9:01 is my favourite.
