BEHOLD! - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More


something else i am working on with absolutely no goal except for 'i like it', and that i wanted it to be mysterious and bold, like a sci-fi novel cover.

potential titles are
'demon with a glass hand',
'BEHOLD!',
or the "meltdown/martyr/malfunction/monstrosity of mission 10"
and there is no story, it's up to the viewer- although martyr/meltdown would certainly suggest the robot sacrificed himself through overloading, and the malfunction/monstrosity would suggest something went wrong ala' HAL in 2001.

you can see a lot of the stages in my flickr

suggestions appreciated!

wonder if i shouldn't drop in a bold, retro sci-fi treatment of the word BEHOLD behind the head, to fill out the area....but then i imagine folks will say 'lose the text'... lol

I feel like it's missing something though....

me too staffell. i've tried several things. it doesn't feel fitted to a shirt, but anything i add seems to take away from the boldness... hm.

maybe you could have a halo of sparks behind the robot's head possibly from a backpack or antennae behind it. or maybe shooting upwards from the fingers? I don't know, I just think something like that could add more energy to the image and help fill out the top area

The best compliments I ever received here (that haven't been deleted):

-from the master:

I think there will be a few different subs in the top 20 once all the loves threadless have finsihed scoring. Travis has to be up there somewhere, his last few subs have lifted the bar on here--------

-from the co-owner:

yea this is super neat, i would wear it

-from a blogger:

I don't know if anyone else who's been hanging around threadless for far too long (like myself) gets really excited when under-printed designers put out a sure thing - but I know I do. I feel the same way about this as when I first saw "No Peeking" by Jublin. That "THIS is a print and it couldn't happen to a better person."
Enjoy your...uh...12 pack of Red Bull.
