nice idea and execution, shading on the yellow and blue would help this, is that little mouse with the roller on the sleeve? that'd be cute!! 5!

That game annoyed me. It never worked right.

i liked the other one better for the fact there was a mouse running the top wheel trying to trap the other mouse. this one has better depth though. You two should collaborate and combine your ideas. Just a thought.

That sort of looks like the breakfast machine from Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

nice thought, but i agree with people on whats going on:



where is the man in the bucket?

shouldnt one ball be at the end of the slide?

paint roller?

a hundred times better than the other one. this kind of design also just asks for surprises, maybe play around a bit with putting random stuff throughout the sides/back/sleeves of the shirt. not saying you gotta fill 'em up, but a mouse on the lower back eating some cheese or something could add that much more to it.

I would like to see this on another color, maybe a dull blue. I love it! It's great!

I love it, but what's with the paint roller???
Naive Amoeba
Naive Amoeba on Feb 21 '07
Awesome! I prefer this one to the other. And I prefectly understand the paint roller- it's just showing the colours used!



5$

I like the paint roller. I agree there should be something more to it - the mouse eating cheese on the back idea rocks.

I like this design better than the other one too.

hehe.. oops, i didnt even notice this had started scoring and now its finished :( oh well.. um. well to everyone who said nice things, thank you! :D and to the person who already did the mouse trap thing :/ um sorry? apparently it was like a week ago? but i guess i didnt notice, but anyways.. wasnt deliberate. Um.. haha yeah i totally forgot the guy who dives into the bucket!! whats wrong with me!?



hmm, oh yeah and the roller? didnt realise it would cause so much controversy! hehe, but this design is basically inspired from a graffiti spread i did about a year ago, where the entire wall was mouse trap from left to right & there was yellow paint being dragged all the way through it, like a trail, and at the end the mouse was holding the roller to illustrate how it escaped, it was a parody on being chased by police as a graffiti artist. So i figured id leave the roller in, i like it, and its kind of a homage. I did this tee cos the wall just got white washed a few weeks ago.



anyways, thanks again! :D
