It's ok to shoot 'em if they're just machines.

honestly mate, i prefered your old style but this works better for the concept.

nice original take for the buck comp, $$

Gawd it's beautiful. I'm still pissed that they haven't printed "It's been a pleasure".

valor is getting risqueeeeee and im likin it, i like it, i love it, i want some more of it! $5!

This is great! The red accents are great and I really love your title too!

hmm I actually really dig what's going on in the background, I see that as being it's own shirt. The mechanical winged deer are well executed but hmmm. .... maybe instead of mechanical, they were real bones, no targets and no wings, and then the spirits in the background emminating from the bones. Just a thought.



Still a 4 for great technical skill.

I lied, I gave you a 5

the wings lost me but i'm game. $5

Oh!

another great one.

giggedy giggedy giggedy $5

creepy as hell!

I love this take on the BBH theme. Nightmarish and beautiful $5

wow :)

awesome title

This is my favorite sub for this contest, probably because it's kinda morbid. I really really hope that it's printed.

I agree with Robsoul. The background figures look like spirits. I like the wings on the skeletons. Beautifully creepy, just the way I like it!

EEEEEEEEEE... hot hot hot!!!

Thanks for the comments, everyone! At first I actually did consider making them just skeletons, but then I realized I wanted to give a slightly different impression... rather, to make it seem like it's ok to go ahead and shoot. In order to do this I had to make them seem less organic (and more mechanic). Also, I wanted the overall feel to be pretty creepy/nightmarish as most of the shoot 'em video games often have that feel. Mostly, I wanted to describe the semi-recent phenomena where people feel like it's ok to do anything they want when it's on a screen and not in "reality". On a side note, I actually do enjoy playing games like that on occassion so this is targetting me just as much as anybody else.



Sorry for the longwindedness!

i really love the two different styl techniques use in this! those snaky deer phantoms are great. it is very creepy!! in a way i'm reminded of those skeleton reindeers in the nightmare before christmas, so when i look at those, i can hear the sounds of them clacking their jaws together!

omg i can't type! *style *used

COOOOOOOOOL ! :)

very nice

i think the targets actually weaken the design personally, I don't think the concept is that strong that it communicates well enough to keep them.

Very scary and different from your more "innocent" previous work, yet i love to see that an artist searches new styles and topics. Very well drawn too.

ghost dear rule

This is awesome. I love it from top to bottom. $5!!!

@ bananphone: I can definitely see that. But I was also afraid that people would lose the sense that you're supposed to shoot the deer (and I didn't want to lose the whole point of the design). Since it's a shirt and you only have about a second to communicate your idea, I went with someone a little more obvious. Oh, and congrats on your new print, by the by!

Love bones!

once again, what the hell?



yes, the deers with wings are just machines...

$5 for being brave!

Great per usual v&v. Different approach in style and interpertation. I like the "ghosties" in the background. They somehow give the robotic ones soul. Purple definetly.

GREAT $5

this reminds me of harry potter...you know those one creatures that where inside out?

Reminds me of Dali.

Beautiful, $5

reminds me of the horses at hogwarts of book #2 that only people that have seen others die can see.

book #5++

those wavey deer things in the BG make it for me

i like the shadows a lot! dark grey! 5$

1.92? You've got to be kidding me. That's crap.

: ( 1.92?

This design deserves MUCH higher.

you're kidding me right?



1.92?



what???

$5

This design is a-fucking-mazing. I am shocked by the score.

Print it and I will buy and wear it proudly!

I adore this design! I'll buy it the moment it comes out!
