About my design

How do they get those ships in the tiny opening of the bottle?

Am I right in saying they are chopping down pencils to make the timber for the little ship? Because it took me a second to come to that conclusion, until I realised the big log below the opening of the bottle is actually a cork. It is a cork isn't it? This is a really sweet design. Maybe take away the cork and have some little men chopping up pencils or something, just to avoid any confusion.

so a tiny construction crew is building an ark for a future voyage being sent from an island to get help for some stranded inhabitants? I like it, but pink apple's changes sound good: keep the cork, but make it a different color and have a more eleaborate scene in front of the bottle concernign a small construction crew making the ship, and have them hauling "lumber" away from a cup full of pencils like many people have on their work desks would really complete the concept you seem to be going for. 3 for now with a hopeful 4 or 5$ if some of this crap is implemented into your vision.

Really cool but the idea of adding a crew of little men in front of the bottle is great!

I think you could get rid of the second pencil without losing anything from the design.... This & Weapons of Mess Destruction have a cleaness about them which work extremely well in clarifying the central idea of each sub, which is good.

I really like this design but I agree that the pencil throws me off a little.

That's great, the pencil's a complicated concept to add.

now im really confused after seeing this one as well.. are u purposfully redoing old glennz designs??? haha i have to say i like the humor a lot in this one.... very nice vector work....
Ste7en
   Ste7en on Jan 06 '07
glennz never did this design...but I am trying to work on a clean style like his to expand my range
jwalsh
   jwalsh on Jan 06 '07
he did a bottle with a ship in it very similar, it didnt have the pencil



i like the clean style, im still rooting for some of your others to win though like the animal hands one, that one is gorgeous, good luck!

   Ste7en on Jan 06 '07
uh oh, I fear submissions are going to turn into the new blog forum, but oh well... I also did a ship in a bottle a long time ago. Theres tons of ships in bottles. He never did one about building a boat. Im glad you like my other work, im focusing more on that style with my next few.

this is a great idea! and illustration too- but i think if you added like a bunch of tiny men working on it it would be that much cooler.

I like it a lot! But I do agree that the cork doesn't really look like a cork - but like a part of a tree trunk. And I would like the pencil more if the end that got cut off on the right looked similar to how the other third of it is getting cut off. You know what I mean? One part looks like it was cut with a saw, and the other looks like it's in the process of being chewed on by beavers. I feel that should be consistent. But I love the design! I've always wondered how they got those ships in the bottles too!

Think the desgn and idea's great just as it is. Fair enough, slightly confusng at first. But with a little thought it all works out. Like the style of drawing aswell. A 4 at least.
