Hi!

My new sub, Brr, Shiver Me Timbers is up:

Brr, Shiver Me Timbers! - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

A bit of background story behind the design.
Capt. Frosty actually started out as a tropical island man:

scratch

Something i wanted to submit for the summer. But my computer broke down and i wasnt able to finish it.
By the time it was fixed, i wasnt into the idea so much anymore.

Then i notice how a ship kind of looked like a hat. a pirate's hat.. So that idea combined with my pareidolia ended up as this:

preview1

Also here is my original sketch of the ship/hat:

scan ship

After scanning it, and a bit of tinkering in photoshop to make it look darker. (I think i duplicated the image, applied a multiply blend, some curves, overlay.) I added the ice and some brush sprays for the snow effect.

It wasnt my intention to make the ship crashed with the iceberg. It just ended up that way as i was adding the snow and ice and i was happy with it. :)

Also some emptees love perhaps?

Thanks!

Great mash up of ship for a hat and ice shards for a face, might have been serendipitous but awesome nonetheless!
