About my design

by KDLIG   
Since it's SEED, I came up with a fetus idea, a sci-fi, metaphorical, surreal kind of thing, about test tube babies. In today's science we encounter topics about DNA, genetics, cloning, and basically our minds will always travel to human production experimentations, where we hear stories about scientists able to create human beings out of test tubes by putting some perfectly selected genes to form a perfect healthy DNA and able to create your own choice of your own baby's personality and even predict the child's future, hmmm...i hope science won't go mad on this,hehehe. My design is quite surreal, a fetus being amplified with good genes mixed inside the test tube, I know most of you will kill me with crits, so go ahead hate me already, I'm used to lose anyway,hehehe.

dude, i love your fetus drawing plus the amp. Your style is really sweet, but i think the black wires and lines are too dominating and distracting.

agree. the fetus should be the focal point of the illustration, as it is rendered so well. make the other objects much smaller/less important, so the different parts aren't competing as much. cool.

I would say make the fetus the only part of the design. Everything else draws away from it.

ya, maybe just the fetus connected to the amp, that's a fun idea. i agree that the rest is distracted and just seems like dead space. but i love the artwork and the idea.

Beautiful work - My only suggestion would be to alter the colouring of the baby somewhat - it looks like it has jaundice.

I like the babe with the guitar, but I think the tattoo and the pierced ear takes away a bit.

most babies have jaundice...... and i love this hardcore rockin baby. way to pull off having an enormous fetus on a shirt. well done. i would prefer the tan shirt perhaps not white or aything too bright. earthy = better...i like the other stuff, but the composition is a little offf....mix it up a bit until..you know...its different/better

poor placement and bad composition, good graphics and components though

Great idea, but I feel it could have used a little more work before submitting. I agree that just the fetus and the amp is all that's neccessary. Also, with your placement, this thing is going to be HUGE! Too big, I think. And there's something about the baby that just doesn't look right. I guess it doesn't look too "baby-ish." But again, the concept is very cool.

Fantastic concept! You're illustration style is awesome. Generally I agree with everyone else that the fetus should be the focal point, but I think it's important to keep the rest of the elements because without them the whole idea would be lost. Perhaps they can be faded though, or all one colour.



It looks best on the grey/brown shirt I think.



As if giving birth to a baby isn't painful enough...imagine giving birth to a baby WITH a guitar! OUCH!!!



5 :)

5 becuase at my high school basketball games when the other teams crowd chants "who's your daddy" i thought we should come back and say " test tube baby"...and we have been ever since

I agree that the amp and wires add too much chaos to the design. But I love the foetus image.

Oh man, the amp and chemistry vial is so not needed! The fetus should have been the only part of the design. Like blown up, and placed in the center (maybe, in the middle of the stomach area).



Sigh.. if only the Amp wasn't there! Argh!

it looks like you tacked on the test tube as an afterthought, so it would fit this competition.. the baby is well done, but the elements don't work together.
KDLIG
   KDLIG on Feb 25 '07
you're right about that, the original design was just the amp and the fetus, i added a test tube to make it look more scientific, I actually submitted the original one for the regular competition, i don't know if they will still accept it, if they will, I just hope to get more votes, and make all of you happy about it, heehee =), I want to see my fetus on a shirt, if that's possible, then it's financially a big help for me, sorry if i'm such a lousy designer when it comes to shirt =(

Nice, but I think the foetus should be the only thing on it.

Ooh, that's nice, definitely in a natural or a khaki color.

I feel like, as a t-shirt design, the amp/other elements beside the fetus could be taken out. But your idea is totally attention-grabbing, and the cell-shading is impeccable. Great work. $5

I drew something just like this not too long ago.. your's is better though.

LOVE it on olive. would agree with the idea of making the fetus a bit larger and the focus, but i love the shirt.



(oh, and i'd totally also buy it on white)

You almost have it!

Get rid of the earing and tattoo, and "zig-zag" lines.

Put it on white.

KDLIG... definitivamente me agrada tu ilustración, creo que realmente has heho un buen trabajo, pero ciertos elementos a mi parecer lo sobrecargan visualemnte, quizas es la posicion de los cables y su disposición en la pieza grafica, que de cierta manera opacan en un porcentaje tus otros elementos.



Saludos

KDLIG… definitively pleases your illustration to me, I believe that really there are heho a good work, perhaps but certain elements to my to seem overload visualemnte, is the position of cables and its disposition in the graphical piece, that of certain way your other elements opacan in a percentage.

Maybe the earring could go, but I freaking love the tattoo.

I agree that the other elements compete with the fetus; maybe place the amp on the back or side, the fetus on the front and they could connect with the guitar cord

Liking it alot, but i'd prefer it without the fetus.

The original design just got accepted, it's called "Rock- a by Fetus", and it's not an entry for SEED, it's just for the regular competition, I hope you'll like the design this time, i hope you'll vote for it =)

I think it would look really cool if the amp were on the back of the shirt.. with the wire wrapping around somehow...
