very nice work! I think the guy's hair looks a little strange (the texture and I'd like to see his hairline come down lower on his forehead), and all the stripes/lines/wrinkles on his pants look off to me. I'm not sure if I like the way the lines in the shirt seem sort of psychedelic since the rest of his clothes look more realistic. 5!

the artwork is great! It would work for a children's book, I don't know if it translates well to a shirt.

Yeah, love the eyes and the foggy creatures, too. But please change the placement nad make it a little smaller, center placement is so boring and big doesn't look good on girls (you know, boobs and stuff, you can only see half of it)

i like this, but the boy's face looks weird and somewhat alien-ish, maybe that's the point but it just kinda turns me off.

i love this! the feet of the chair seem like they're too skinny to hold up that big chair though. (the left foot especially)

I like it in concept, but the chair looks like an anatomy drawing of a uterus to me.

his eyebrow ridges are kind of odd, but I love this idea, and I love this design. Great work you've got, here. I'd totally buy this (hope it gets printed!), so, $5.

in response to flopart: perhaps you are refering to "The Neverending Story" ? great movie!

I dig, but the boy's face is kind of creepy.

$5 anyways.

I see no uterus. But perhaps the chair is upholstered in umbilical cords...now that someone mentioned it...



Seriously, this is a fantasy illustration and it's perfect. The boy's face isn't creepy, maybe he's just being transformed by the alienish things he's reading. And skinny claw feet are very, very, very strong. I know that for a fact. They hold up bathtubs full of water and very fat people...they will certainly hold up this enormous chair. However, now that I have focused on the chair's feet, the toe on the left claw has certainly been eaten by those purple monsters because it is missing.
