Lovely. Really stands out from the rest.
|
 |
That's excellent.
|
 |
omg amazing!!!!! $5
and here i thought i was sick of octopuses, you've saved them! |
 |
anything with octopi is golden, i dont care, they are my favorite of all animals and this will get a big 5 bones. thank you.
|
 |
BlameTheSuburbs on Mar 26 '07 well drawn, but the concept doesn't make sense, even though its a great excuse to draw a well shaded octopus. ... 4.

 |
g-regulate on Mar 26 '07 please don't apologise, sir. this is magic.
|
 |
wowza
|
 |
I like it but, I would love it if his tentacle wrapped around the light bulb.
|
 |
mezo on Mar 26 '07 That octopus is GORGEOUSLY RENDERED. And the highlights are lovely. But, man, that lightbulb seems irrelevant. 4
|
 |
This really does stand out from the octopodal crowd. 5$
|
 |
Gorgeous. $5
|
 |
nice, 5$.
|
 |
Ellsswhere on Mar 26 '07 not a huge fan of the shirt but your linework is insane... great use of form and weight. 5 mezo always seems to beat me to the comments
|
|
g-regulate on Mar 26 '07 what is this talk of relevance? this design is original, whimsical, and shows great skill. in other words, more threadless than threadless.
|
 |
cpdesign on Mar 26 '07 Beautiful illustration. Love the texture and colors. $5
|
 |
kaloyster on Mar 26 '07 I love the design! But I dunno what's the deal with octopus subs lately. But this is the best so far.
5 |
 |
Placement B. Very well-executed octopus. The "light source" really adds something.
|
 |
omg the lighting is awesome :3
its not the usual style that i like but i would definitely buy this :) |
 |
Design B is better, very nice stuff
|
 |
that detail
is CURAZAYYYYY 5 |
|
Magnificent illustration.
|
 |
humbleego on Mar 26 '07 Thanks for the comments, guys. I suppose I should mention that the light bulb means nothing. There's nothing to get, I'm afraid.
This design was the result of some "stream of consciousness" sketching. I know people like a gag or some kind of story most of the time here, but this has none. I was just sketching and this came out of my pencil. :) |
 |
i'm sick of seeing octopuses and shit but man that is insane... loose the light bulb and i'd 5 it!
|
|
looks good, keem them comin!
|
 |
Wow, I LOVE the style! I'd like to know what kind of method you use :)
I don't think the light bulb needs to be removed. It changes it from just being a shirt with an octopus on it (you could get that at any old zoo) to being a unique design. |
 |
yeohgh on Mar 26 '07 beautiful..nice!!! :D
|
 |
I must have this shirt!!!!!!! awesome design!!
|
 |
mad skillz yo
|
 |
i love the way the light brightens the front of the octopus, this is simply gorgeous. way to bring back the octopus, man!
|
 |
don't apologize, there may be a lot of octopi subs lately, but very few are as good as this. your color use is excellent. go with placement b or something close to it. and while i know it's totally irrelevant, i really like your presentation layout.
|
 |
wow
|
 |
This is great! I would mos-def buy this shirt! great drawing and cool design. Never though i would wear purple...
|
 |
Another totally awesome design. Love this, love your others too. $5.
|
 |
most impressive octopus design i've seen. glad you entered it :]
Option B is better, in my opinion. 5 |
 |
Amazing. Option B is just grand.
I...want this. ...like, a lot. |
 |
The difference between your design and all the other octopi shirts is yours is actually well-drawn! Beautiful! $5
(I like option B) |
 |
This is beautiful.
|
 |
holy crap on the detail! 5!
|
 |
fatheed on Mar 27 '07 Awesome. The subtle texture and contour changes achieved with brushstrokes is fantastic. I also admire the way you have achieved the diffusion of light using that scribbled glow. There's been a surge of purple shirts recently, and this is now my favourite one. 5$
|
 |
love it!
|
|
NO MORE OCTOPUSES PLEASE
|
 |
fat pigeon on Mar 27 '07 Wow. I love this.
|
 |
Recycledwax on Mar 27 '07 this is so well done! Congrats! great style! 5
|
 |
What a beauty !
|
 |
nice nice nice, add more texture to the light bulb
|
 |
I am so so sick of octopus designs, but this is delish!
|
 |
This is a great illy! I love the shading on the feller... And I like Placement Option A.. Great jarb!
|
|
($5)
|
 |
beautiful illustration/shading, though i would like to see a bit more detail on the bulb.
option b = $4 |
 |
amazing!!!!!!!!! the light effect is perfect!!!
|
 |
andyg on Mar 27 '07 Excellent work! I'd love to see it centered on the shirt. 5$
|
|
OH MY GOD!!! That design is AWESOME!!!
Seriously...I'd buy one for the whole family. |
 |
This shirt is simply amazing.
|
 |
Excellent lighting effect.
|
 |
Super illustration but i think that octopi are becoming somewhat cliche since they have been used over and over
|
 |
cintrao on Mar 27 '07 I wish it would stop at the center of the t-shirt lol. But great arwork.. the use of color is very cool.
|
 |
nice!
|
 |
Edword on Mar 27 '07 very well done.
|
 |
LOVE the PURPLE!!!! awesome, love those colors together ;o)
|
 |
i REALLY like the design but, the placement seems odd to me.
|
 |
I am sick of octopuses and I wouldn't wear this, but the art is lovely and placement B is fresh in a way that doesn't look stupid so I will give it a 4.
|
 |
super great illus. Nice job with the glow on the diff parts and good colors.
|
 |
I hope you don't mind me asking, but what was your process in creating this beautiful illustration?
|
|
humbleego on Mar 28 '07 All Flash, Nostrils2001.
:) |
|
Nice one, legend.
|
 |
Jemae on Mar 28 '07 PERFECT! 5$! =)
|
|
I love octopuses and cephalopods in general, so here's one person who has no problem with the current trend :)
|
 |
that is some amazing detail, nice work!
|
 |
Anything with an octopus i generally rate high, but this one... I wish I could rate it a million five. $$$$ Can't wait!
|
 |
Please, please don't let this awesome design lose because people are annoyed by octopi.
It's awesome. |
 |
placement option b most definately!
|
 |
lower placement mos def!
|
 |
jublin on Mar 28 '07 great colors. gotta love the red highlights.... gimme a piece of THAT!
|
 |
That is such a neat illustration. The colors are perfect.
Did you know that if you trap an octopus in a jar...he'll find his way out |
 |
Sweet light bulb, but needs better placement.
|
 |
Love it. Option B for sure.
|
 |
i like placement B, looks great!
|
 |
pretty sweet Flash illustration D. I vote for B as well.
|
 |
VERY cool 5$
|
 |
Awesome lighting. A perfect example of what great illustration is. Either placement looks good, but I think placement B works the best.
|
 |
I think I'm under the sea! Awesome rendering, I love it! ^_^
|
 |
I love it.
|
 |
I love the design and concept. prefer the lower placement!
xox! |
|
B
|
|
it just has to be said and I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but all you octopus design haters are lame!! Octopus are freakin awesome! I love this design. I hope the cephalopod submissions just keep on coming!
|
 |
wullagaru on Mar 30 '07 this is a great drawing love your work
|
 |
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Mar 31 '07 holy crap what? placement is crappy but whatever $5 because this is amazingly rendered.
|
 |
not big on octopi, but I love the illo, particularly the lighting.
|
 |
top position, please, if it's gonna be off-center. that's the only way i'd buy it, but i love it anyway. 5!
|
 |
I LOVE IT! many of the other octopi ones i find lame...but this is like...WOA!
i'd buy two...seriously. only thing i dislike is the lightbulb. The lightbulb being there is cool. i like the concept. i like the beauty of the design. however something about the filiment seems childishly drawn and takes away, in adition to the scibbles 'round ze lightbulb. amazing design, I HOPE YOU WIN! |
|
(placement B)
|
 |
Jebs on Mar 31 '07 the design is really beautiful, but i think the concept is a bit weak... 5 anyway, because your style is something interesting, go ahead ;-)
|
 |
design placement A! 4+!
|
 |
Beautiful illustration. I'd buy this for my Dad.
|
 |
oh my god
this is awesome 5$ |
 |
best boctopus shirt ive seen so far
|
 |
I really like the text with it. It makes it look like the cover of a really cool book.
|
 |
dacat on Apr 02 '07 All your work is amazing $5
|
|
The illustration itself is incredible. The lightbulb *does* come off as a bit of an excuse for the really cool shading, but then...the shading is *really* cool, so...
Not wild about off-center placements. I would probably wear this if the lightbulb was gone (maybe replaced with something else tying the concept together somehow) and if the placement was dead-chest-center. Still amazed at that linework, though. Nice work. 4. |
 |
option a!
|
|
Placement B. I like the lightbulb, especially its swirly aura. It's unexpected, maybe a little "exquisite corpse."
Also, humbleego, "the lightbulb means nothing"? "there's nothing to get"? Both you and your design are all the more interesting for the psychoanalysis you inspire. |
 |
Placement B is best, it gets to be bigger, and looks better.
|
 |
placement B
5$ |
|
g-regulate on Apr 02 '07 a decent score, but this deserved better. good luck for a print!
|
|
humbleego on Apr 03 '07 Thanks, g. Also, thanks to everyone else for the comments.
Fingers are crossed. :) |
|
I don't think I've enjoyed a threadless design as much as this one! I really really hope it gets printed!!
