HOLY F*CK!!!

BLXMAN77 on Oct 28 '09 at 2:37am

looking forward to see this one alex

dannodepf on Oct 28 '09 at 2:38am

hmmm. i'm thinking that is a baby killer whale, or a really big polar bear! however, i have never seen either in person, and am not a "size queen". lol.

applesforjonah on Oct 28 '09 at 3:01am

Good gosh, I'm excited.

Frogking on Oct 28 '09 at 3:05am

I think it's going to be sick alex!

badbasilisk on Oct 28 '09 at 3:08am

sweeeeeet

PuppetMeat on Oct 28 '09 at 3:10am

Epic.

Ste7en on Oct 28 '09 at 3:14am

looks sweet, took me a sec to orient myself when looking at it...but obviously just cause its a crazy rough sketch

sjem on Oct 28 '09 at 3:16am

I fucking love it - but beware that it's pretty close to this by the Ames Bros - Shark vs Bear :

You can see all there epic battle tees here.

jstumpenhorst on Oct 28 '09 at 6:44am

awesome!!

davidfromdallas on Oct 28 '09 at 9:50am

The Ames Bros are amazing

alexmdc on Oct 28 '09 at 12:02pm

oh wow they got some awesome stuff, :/ ummm I think mine will be a bit different then that one, but what do you guys think?

andyg on Oct 28 '09 at 12:10pm

Alexmdc, how many hours on average do you think you spend on each of your designs?

alexmdc on Oct 28 '09 at 12:13pm

ummmmm andyg depends on the deisng, like the bonnie and clyde around 13-14 hrs but the mole one about 3 hrs

bengineer on Oct 28 '09 at 12:20pm

man, you're fast, some designs are already taking me days :P
You should probably alter the poses a little because now it's a little too similar to the other one for my taste...
Keep at it know since i know your style turns anything you touch into pure gold ;)

I really hate to ask but would you mind having a look at my latest wip? i have a really hard time getting feedback and i gotta hurry...

here

alexmdc on Oct 28 '09 at 12:42pm

I think Ill continue with it, I feel like it will be a lot different. Im thinking of having a few fish jumping outta the ice theyre breaking as well, might be my first white tshirt I design on :D how exiting :P

Krimson on Oct 28 '09 at 12:45pm

Change the comp a little bit, since the pose happens to be almost identical. If you can make it feel more its own design, go for it. I expect awesomeness!

spacesick 2 on Oct 28 '09 at 1:16pm

I predict that within 5 years time, you will be doing something very important with your arts, alex

Chengui on Oct 28 '09 at 1:20pm

Spacesick is talking trash about Threadless!!!! I heard it!

sjem on Oct 28 '09 at 4:04pm

YES !! Do it anyways.

alexmdc on Oct 28 '09 at 4:05pm

thanx guys, yeah Ill try to switch it up a bit

lamelikemike on Oct 28 '09 at 11:21pm

i dont know if there could be a more epic pose, but if you find it, do it to it. oh and just out of curiosity, have you been strictly digital since the bunny terror shirt, i was trying to figure out if that bonnie and clyde design was inked or digital.

alexmdc on Oct 28 '09 at 11:21pm

yeah all digital, havent had time to go buy some pens right now,but Im getting used to the wacom more and more

Outlaw01 on Oct 28 '09 at 11:22pm

*dies*
I'd buy the sketch on a shirt -- can't wait for the design. $5 fo sho

Andreas Mohacsy on Oct 28 '09 at 11:29pm

i think it looks like a blue sketch of an another epic battle scene...

it looks like a nice dynamic interaction, going off most of your other work i'm sure it will be very well executed...

as far as the sketch is concerned i like the line work at the top right of the bear the best... free, flowing and energetic

alexmdc on Oct 29 '09 at 1:13am

this is what I have so far, Imma add a few fish coming out too :P

spacesick 2 on Oct 29 '09 at 1:15am

I dunno. I think you should add more sharks and grizzly bears.

mike bautista on Oct 29 '09 at 1:17am

Whoa!

alexmdc on Oct 29 '09 at 2:45am

got a lil more done, time for bed tho

Sim-1 on Oct 29 '09 at 2:47am

so far so good...pretty bad ass s far!

Andreas Mohacsy on Oct 29 '09 at 3:52am

now it's cooking, love the teeth, and fish

Kim456 on Oct 29 '09 at 4:00am

Looks amazing so far......they both eat penguins too, you could throw one of them into the mix

GRANDR on Oct 29 '09 at 8:24am

Maybe...it is too late, for to add a pair of penguins?

alexmdc on Oct 29 '09 at 11:45am

yeah I thought about adding some penguins actually but didnt wanna distract from the main characters.

I thought of having them watch on the side eatin some popcorn hahaha ut didnt want to make it too cheesy either :P

ska_boss55 on Oct 29 '09 at 4:46pm

This looks freaking SICK!!!!

Outlaw01 on Oct 29 '09 at 4:55pm

epic

Ste7en on Oct 29 '09 at 4:57pm

Looks great as usual. I would love to see you keep it black and white and use the sketch blue as a shade.

Ste7en on Oct 29 '09 at 4:58pm

alexmdc on Oct 29 '09 at 11:45am

Its probably best you didnt, because I just know someone will have to mention that polar bears and penguins don't live together. One is in the arctic and one in the antarctic I believe.

alexmdc on Oct 29 '09 at 4:58pm

yeah Im thinking of keeping minimal colors on this one as well, and do it on a white shirt to lpay off the shirt color with the broken ice in the bottom

Outlaw01 on Oct 29 '09 at 4:59pm

NO PENGUINS

thunderpeel on Oct 29 '09 at 6:57pm

Looks great as always. As for complimentary critters, seals would work. Penguins do not compute.

SteveOramA on Oct 29 '09 at 7:18pm

looking good so far.

Pakpandir on Oct 29 '09 at 7:29pm

mate..this is already lookin sick! loving everything about it. Can i suggest something? Maybe redesign the shape of the icebergs and not have it too horizontal. Maybe into a V shape or something. Just to keep the piece dynamic. At the moment, i feel its too straight at the bottom and it kinda cuts the design across. That's just me tho. =D Great stuff! keep it coming!

wombatcrusader on Oct 29 '09 at 7:41pm

Outrageously incredible piece!!! I would only agree that the icebergs look a little too blocky. With all that water splashing up, perhaps the ice should be in shards, large and small, of varying shapes. More fish, too! (maybe a shrimp)

Although, you are the master, Alex, I bow to you....
