About my design

by Mr Rocks   
A while ago, I was playing poker with some buddies, as you do. On one particular flop, the cards came out a 6, then another 6 (tension mounted) and then a 4. I said 'Almost the number of the beast', and my good friend Tommy Honey exclaimed '664 lives next door, neighbor of the beast..' And a concept was born, even though I was blind drunk and completely fleeced by Mr Honey.



I hope you like it folks, please leave me some good voodoo.

love this, although it bothers me that the 666 mailbox has a chunk out of the back that i guess is smoke or a hedge or something

Yes the smoke should not be the same color as the background I get the idea without the smoke so it can be removed. BUT this is awesome, it reminds me a bit of Coop! Good job.

Thanks for your overall feedback and positive comments so far.

I can see my minimal approach to the hedge and background has cause a little visual confusion. In hind sight I should have defined the hedge some with and outline. Thanks for all the votes so far.

I love this. the minimalistic approach to the background works really well, by tying things together without detracting from the focus.

Great design, but no time to start hedging your bets. I would snap one of these up and wear it to my own poker game. Mr Rocks you Rock, but do you have the nuts?

googling Neighbor of the Beast will give you quite a few results, but this doesn't diminish your design, which rocks, Mr Rocks.
Mr Rocks
   Mr Rocks on Dec 27 '06
g-regulate: thanks for opening my eyes a little. U had no idea there were so many references to this idea. I am glad I finished it before i saw these, as I would have been influenced, or more likely disheartened.



Back to the drawing board then...

Don't worry Rocks, it was Tommy Honey that plagiarised the concept. You just rock and ROLL x

Your design is lightyears beyond anything I've seen with the same title. Terrific job! (The neighbor reminded me of Woody Allen too, which is a plus!)

i was gonna say ive heard this joke many many times before, but in its illustrated, slightly r. crumb-ish form we see here, it feels like a brand new gimmick again! Great drawings in both the foreground and background....i will be getting this when it is printed!

Well, hopefully it'll get printed and then you'll have won back the money you lost on poker :P Also: Smoke should not be same colour as the background as someone suggseted, as it would make Mr 666 look like he had a hole in his chest or missed some ink while printing. And I think the hedge shouldn't cover the side of 666's letterbox, because it's like the background is covering the foreground (I know that, in proper perspective, it makes sense, but it is "noticeable", and if you have to look at it to work it out, get rid of it). Ok, that was my 2...5...ok maybe 20 cents. Great job though!
