i like the hand! this is awesome dude!

bennyd302 on Nov 06 '09 at 10:23am

thanks mannnn. I can always count on you.

Dexter Spandex on Nov 06 '09 at 10:23am

this is great!
it would be nice to have the casing nice and big without the hand, but maybe you need the hand to really get what's going on at first glance.
either way, this is going to be pretty sweet.

saweeeeeet!

TheInfamousBaka on Nov 06 '09 at 10:23am

I like it with the hand too. This is awesome! :)

spacesick 2 on Nov 06 '09 at 10:24am

haha nice

jillustration on Nov 06 '09 at 10:25am

I LOVE THIS! You need the hand to give it some scale and really hit the point home. Totally fabulous, can't wait to see the finished product.

Lhiiiz on Nov 06 '09 at 10:25am

haha! I love it!

bennyd302 on Nov 06 '09 at 10:26am

thanks peeps! I like how big it is without the hand, but I guess it really needs it.

fat pigeon on Nov 06 '09 at 10:27am

Yeah, the hand helps the concept. GREAT idea. I can't wait to see it finished.

Bio-bot 9000 on Nov 06 '09 at 2:23pm

this is awesome! keep the hand. sub it for the Innovation contest!

hogboy on Nov 06 '09 at 2:44pm

Kinda weird shape for a shirt with the hand, but maybe it could wrap from front round to back & that way there would be a bit of a reveal to the idea.

FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 06 '09 at 2:46pm

oh my yes, this is so 5$ worthy! Funny funny money.

bennyd302 on Nov 06 '09 at 5:33pm

keep the hand! love it!!

Heartson on Nov 09 '09 at 11:35am

I was going to suggest wrapping it around too. I think that will make it even more fun. It really is a great idea and well executed!

jess4002 on Nov 10 '09 at 8:29pm

wowww, that is lookin' sweet! :D

EricDiaz on Nov 10 '09 at 8:33pm

This does look pretty sweet! Maybe some lumberjack plaid shirt would be cool. I first thought of a white lab coat.

bennyd302 on Nov 10 '09 at 8:34pm

thanks dudes, yea definitely plaid shirt when I add color.

quister on Nov 10 '09 at 9:22pm

Really cool concept and drawing so far! Yes to including the hand but you can always fade it out so you can make the sharpener bigger. Also, I really don't think you need the cord, it's pretty self evident that we're inside a magical, mystical, Paul Bunyon sharpening thingy :D

bennyd302 on Nov 10 '09 at 9:37pm

thanks quister, good suggestions.

i love the colors you chose! $$

Brando Graphic Art on Nov 11 '09 at 10:45pm

Dude that is so f***in good! You're a beast!

bennyd302 on Nov 11 '09 at 10:50pm

thanks dudes

Bio-bot 9000 on Nov 11 '09 at 10:51pm

i'm actually not too fond of the colors. the blue hand looks un-human, and the blue background sort of subdues the image, in my eyes. i think a yellow or tan shirt might be more effective.

i also think the guy needs to look more dynamic, like he did in the original sketch; like with more bent legs, clenched teeth, more action, more vibration lines, etc. the current version of the lumberjack looks too stoic, like he's not exerting himself.

soloyo on Nov 11 '09 at 10:55pm

Agree the last guy looks way better

Frogking on Nov 11 '09 at 10:57pm

It looks good!
I agree I like the lumberjack in the first sketch better though.

bennyd302 on Nov 11 '09 at 10:57pm

thanks for the feedback. I thought the blue hand might look kinda weird. I thought the first lumberjack was too cartoonish for the style of the rest of the illo. I probably should make his expression more intense tho.

Bio-bot 9000 on Nov 11 '09 at 11:01pm

i liked the cartoony guy! it;s more 'believable" that a cartoony guy would live in a pencil sharpener rather than a tiny human, imo

bennyd302 on Nov 11 '09 at 11:06pm

hmmm good points indeed.

alexmdc on Nov 11 '09 at 11:08pm

nice def stepped it up and cleaned up the illo a lot, looking good! I realy like the more realistic one actually

bennyd302 on Nov 11 '09 at 11:12pm

thanks alex.

damn you people and your conflicting opinions!

soloyo on Nov 11 '09 at 11:15pm

Agree the last guy looks way better
