About my design

by lunchboxbrain
Mortimer was the consummate optimist. While Madeline, his better half, knew their time was coming to an end. She agreed to go for a ride. It would be their last...

Love your style. I think it would work with or without the text. Mortimer's pants are freakin' awesome.

$5.

I get a very Gary Larson feeling from this. Just me I assume.

Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

babag123 on Dec 16 '06
love the concept and illustration. i just wish there were fewer words and i don't really get into the names - feels slightly overdone. even just 'i wish this day could last forever' or something from one of them would do it for me. anyway, great work.

I really love the illustration, but I can't figure out how I feel about the text. One moment I love it, and the next I'm not completely sold. I think I will go with my "loving it" instinct. So beautifully bizarre and random.

I love this! The design is so original! Definitely on the tan shirt-the color matches the time period you were going for. $5!

since my old cat was named mortimor, how can i not rate this design top notch? Positive biasis aside, very witty concept pulled off quite well in the brown version. !!!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. deathcab, there's a comment counter on the right side that says how many folks have commented - that's what I'll go on. Cheers!

This was an instant $5 for me.

Sophisticated dinosaurs, omg.

I'm torn between which colour scheme I prefer though..

I guess I get to it later.

Tonteau
   Tonteau on Dec 20 '06
For me, there's something about the placement of the text which doesn't fit the picture. Maybe it's like old style pictures might have had the text at the bottom in a box or something?



Either way, the actual image is very pleasing. 4.
The Ending
The Ending on Dec 20 '06
I like the drawing, i feel it belongs in some comedy book rather than a tshirt. Im sure most wouldnt agree with me. Still a fantastic way above abverage sub!

should change the font. a more unique one.

why don't they have tails?

did you put clip art together for this?
sonmi
   sonmi on Dec 20 '06
i'm guessing it is more likely derived from clip art over hand drawn (perhaps hand drawn over clip art), but there's nothing wrong with that! it is appropriated into something new.



i dig it $5
lunchboxbrain
lunchboxbrain on Dec 20 '06
^word up sonmi. to answer your question rose, it's modified royalty-free illustrations. they were vectorized, cleaned-up and compiled to create the final image. there was a good amount of illy work involved in the process. cheers!

This really is not my style at all, but for some reason, I really like it- I'm not sure how well it'll work on a shirt, but I think it could be pulled off. Good job! $5
swintpoof
swintpoof on Dec 20 '06
I love both colours, but I'm thinking I'd get the blue just because it pops more.



I like the font too, but it might be a little hard to read.

if you do add color then add pastels and do it in a block style. I am still laughing about this! It reminds me of farside - but weirder!
