Flying Mouse

About my design

by Flying Mouse   
Question 1:

Do you like someone ride on you and whipping your back to run? (I believe that your answer must be "NO!!".)



Question 2:

Do you think the horse like it?

what is that flying off the horse? a saddle? I don't get it.

   Flying Mouse on Apr 09 '07
The rider. That is the hand of the rider.

ButterflyWings on Apr 09 '07
What is there not to get? The horse is tired of getting rode, whipped, etc. The horse is making a run for it after he bucked off the rider and the saddle. The saddle is in the middle of the shirt, and the rider's hand can be seen by the shoulder area.



Beautiful illustration, btw. Love it.

I love it all but the hand it takes away the free spirit and gaiety of the image.

Its brilliant otherwise and this is coming from someone who fears horses.

Another shirt colour perhaps?

A green?

MysDik on Apr 10 '07
I think it's great - don't move the hand, it's just right at the moment as it takes a few seconds to look across the whole image and see what's going on which makes the whole thing more interesting

13strong on Apr 10 '07
I know! What's not to get?



I like it, but the saddle is a little unclear, and the horse doesn't look like it's bucking the rider off, so it's unclear why the person would be thrown so high into the air. But a nice idea.
fatheed
   fatheed on Apr 10 '07
I think horses were born to be ridden as part of Gods great plan. Its a cool illustration Mr Mouse - but it does look more like a jet-plane ejector seat than a bucking steed - but perhaps thats what you were going for? ;-)
Flying Mouse
   Flying Mouse on Apr 10 '07
Try check this one, this is a more high res file.



Thanks 13strong. Sometime we need to put some imagination to our designs, it can make the design not too flat.



There are no more surprised or creative If too logical:)

   wotto on Apr 10 '07
I get this but I think you could have done it better - You obviously have talent. Maybe done the horse chuckin off a rider or a barn door open in the background with the owner jumpin up and down. I dunno.

I like the idea tho.

I love this shirt! I took one glance and was immediately rooting for the horse. Beautifully done. I think all the elements are present and well executed. I saw the saddle and the hand and the balance on the shirt is perfecto!

Beautifully done.

But not so fun when that's happening to you (said from experience).
OhThisDisaster
OhThisDisaster on Apr 10 '07
I love people who don't understand riding.



Question 1: It's illegal to hit the horses too may times in racing, the jockeys are hitting the saddle pad or saddle. Not the horse.



I suppose it's a good design if you're into misconceptions......
Flying Mouse
   Flying Mouse on Apr 10 '07
Thanks for the info, OhThisDisaster. And sorry for my wrong thought.



I think some people are "Riding" horse without hitting the saddle pad, though. "Riding" is the main point of the concept, not only the "Hitting" point.

LOVE the design! I love how the reins are swinging in the opposite direction; the whole design is really beautiful. I might change the colors, though, for example making the design shades of blue instead of shades of gray. Overall, very nice.

I like the idea... but the horse is drawn in a cute way... doesn't look wild enough
OhThisDisaster
OhThisDisaster on Apr 12 '07
Sorry...

I was just offended that you seemed to group all riders into one group. True some people do abuse them but majority don't. You wouldn't get anywhere with a horse that was afraid of you. You seemed to generalize and that's what angered me. It's the one thing I can't stand in life :-]



And if you want to show he's mad, you really should have his ears pinned down, the horse looks way too happy.

Pretty drawing, but I agree that its a little judgemental of riders in general. The best part about this shirt was reading the first 10 or so comments. "What?" lol

mooseinmyshoe on Apr 15 '07
i think this is absoulte genuis (i, too, am a rider). i think the horse looks plenty mad enough. the shape of the eyes (though not common for animals) shows anger in people. Also, to go along with this disagreement about whipping: i think the point was to show the awesome power of the creature; what can happen when you underestimate that power. not what always happens whenever someone gets on their horse.



I especially love this because i don't ride one of my horses with a bit (the thing that goes in their mouth) and, though he is pushing 29, he can buck me off whenever he feels like it.



thank you sooo much for subing this!!!

Really? Only Mike4507 and myself?

Weird.



It's a beautiful illustration and I like the idea even though it does look like the horse has a spring-loaded back.

I've fallen off of a saddle that broke and it sort of just slides to the side.
jenraskopf
jenraskopf on Apr 16 '07
Okay, Jeremy too then.
Flying Mouse
   Flying Mouse on Apr 16 '07
Yes Alchemical, I don't have so much knowledge about the horse. But there is nothing related with the message of my design. The title is "We are Not Born for Riding", every creature in the world should have thier own freedom I think.



And sorry for the "whipping" question, this question make people confuse that "whipping" is the main point of this design. Once again, the message I want to send is HORSE IS NOT BORN FOR RIDING. Thanks for all.
