Very creative! I think the mushrooms could be organized different for a better composition.
|
 |

How is it related to TL/Rx?
|
|
I was wondering if someone was going to ask me for an explanation. My take on it is basically that "living with the living" means learning about or being a part of an experience in the life of someone else. Here, you are a part of the moment in which this particular root vegetable sets out on a journey of self-discovery. I hope that makes sense :)
|
 |
wonderfully whimsical !
|
 |
F-ckin awesome yo, totally totally love it---AND the title, too!
|
 |

|
|
amazing as usual! i LOVE it!! i would totally buy it!!
|
 |
Destined to be printed. I'd cry otherwise.
I really like the effect of the umbrella and mushrooms matching, and the fellow in the middle. |
 |
5$ that little guy is awesome.
|
 |
looks like something from a children's book! love it! $5
|
 |
Wow, that is awesome. My only critique is that I think the design has clarity problems. That is, there's a lack of distinction between different elements of the design. The elements sort of blend together, and it takes the eyes a second to sort it out. I know the 5 color limitation is an issue here. I'm not sure what you can do about it, but it's just something to keep in mind. $4
|
 |
Lovely illustration! congrats
|
 |
5$ I love it, its original and creative. Plus it looks really nice on a shirt. Great stuff
|
 |
$5. Definitely
|
 |
Jemae on Apr 18 '07 Pretty Art Work! 5$! =)
|
 |
The layout is a little funky. Everything seems to be tipping to the right. Many items add to that feeling, ie: hair seems to go to the right and its strands/stems are longer on the right, umbrella goes right, lowest elements are on the right, and his stance leans to the right. I think by simply move'n his left foot right to make it appear more firmly planted and making his right foot distinctly stepping forward it would counter the right feel and fix the layout. Also, would the umbrella shadow work better if either the dark green jacket color was used or maybe some sketch lines like the shadowing of the mushrooms was used? Otherwise really great feel. Like it's a British children illustration of the 1800s. Nice that. *thumbs up*
|
 |
great style!
|
|
I see what you mean about the layout. I'll try extending one of the background mushrooms toward the left, and see if that makes it any beter.
|
 |
Great job once again!!! I love the idea, very clever. Especially how his umbrella looks like a mushroom on top. Keep up the awesome work! : )
|
 |
Brilliant if you were a 30yr old professional illustrator, astoundingly fantastic if you are a 16yr old schoolkid.
If youre really only sixteen I reckon I can bully you into giving me some drawing lessons. (not meant to sound patronising, just really impressed) |
 |
Bisparulz on Apr 18 '07 great drawing 5$
|
 |
wonderfish is wonderful!
|
|
batata on Apr 18 '07 great! 5$
|
|
Okay, that kind of makes sense. Out of curiosity, though, have you listened to the album? If so, it's cool how you were able to still take the overall idea of it and apply it in such an abstract way, although I'm willing to guess that you haven't. Either way, of the 3 subs so far, it is DEFINITELY the best.
|
|
this is absolutely wonderful and I have to have it.
|
 |
herky on Apr 18 '07 great character and colors
|
 |
beautiful artwork
|
 |
Great design !
You definitely have a style that lends itself very well to illustrating books. concerning the umbrella : looks weird being held at an angle concerning the title : the root vegetable needs supplies and traveling equipment if it's going on a journey. It appears to be out on a leisurely stroll. the root hair is awesome! the glasses are missing a temple/terminal. that's it for my praise and constructive criticism I hope this gets a great score :) |
 |
I would adore this bottom right of the t-shirt!
|
|
to helo: thank you for the advice. regarding the travelling supplies: I thought about it, but decided that root vegetables don't have much in the way of personal belongings :) (it would also be starting to bear a little too much similarity to a previous design if I had him carrying a sack).
As for the umbrella, I see nothing wrong with it. I don't think altering the angle would add to the design. I did mess up on the glasses though. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll have to fix it when I'm playing around with the layout of the mushrooms. |
 |
you are AMAZING.
|
 |
BubuSam on Apr 18 '07 Cool drawing! You'll deserve a great score for this
|
 |
If you don't know them, check out the illustrations in The Spiderwick Chronicles. The books are for younger people, but the drawings are lovely and the website is wicked cool.

Jemae on Apr 20 '07 Pretty design! 5$! =)
|
 |
Very cool. Nice style about it, too, with the thin lines and all.
Ecokid has a point, though, with the shadow under the umbrella...I don't think it really matches your overall style. Really unique and well drawn. Good job. $5. |
 |

i LOVE the shirt, it truly is a piece of art. I would definitely wear it, but somehow it doesn't seem right for the Ted Leo Loves contest.
That being said, I really want one. |
 |
goldkiss on Apr 24 '07 super !
|
 |
awesome
|
|
herky on Apr 24 '07 very whimsical character and great illustration style.
|
 |
Did you listen to the Ted Leo album at all before designing this? It doesn't look like it. It looks like you took a design for another competition (the general one) and applied it to this.
|
|
I'm sorry you do not feel my design fits the theme of the competition. I was going by the written prompt, and have not listened to the album yet. I haven't had the chance to get it. I was hoping people would be more open to this type of interpretation, and that you would vote based on the merit of the design itself. I wouldn't really want to be designing something with any particular band in mind, I think it's kind of limiting.
That being said, thank you to everyone who has voted/commented so far, I can't believe this has over 100 comments. |
 |
I quite like your interpretation, and the drawing is awesome. Congrats on the high score.
|
|
This is really amazing. Would you mine emailing me the original drawing (the larger one w/out the t-shirt on the side) to tkelly888@gmail.com
Thanks. |
|
Love it. Wish I could have voted. Would have given it a 5$
