Just a little explanation:

It's not really a play on word because we know that 'Sheep Labor' doesn't sounds like 'Cheap Labor'.

It's more to use the sheep as a reminder: do not let people steal the whool you have on your back. And don't let people use the work of others without a fair treatment (like sweat shops' runners do)!

The eyes are this way because these sheeps are not really healthy and they lack some free time as well due to their work conditions :/

us that we musn't let people

I think this makes a really neat statement. To put people in the position where they feel like they must work in an environment that saps their zest for life, their very humanity, is inhumane and just plain wrong. A pity it's common in so many places in our world. I like it on a dusty navy, like the models seem to be wearing.

They dont look like sheep...... more like little tan ETs to me. Then again I'm in the middle of prepping for 8 different finals and my visions going a little blurry.

Are they the fates or are you trying to make a play on words?
kilraen
kilraen on May 22 '07
As I said there is no play on words. The words are just here to help the design. So we can mix the idea of the sheep condition together with the idea of cheap labor.

But everybody can see different things. You might as well see something like: 'Don't be a sheep. Stop doing things like everyone does'

Because in French we use the expression 'Mouton de Panurge', which means doing exactly like other people do... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panurge).

So, there's a lot of inspiration from different things here :)

the hands are bothering me, sheep don't have fingers, try a split hoof.

It was hard to tell they're sheep besides the first on having the pile of wool by it, and being half shorn. I think the heads need to be reworked so they look more sheep-like, and cloven hooves would help.

The Fates thing is freakin' awesome though!

Well, we didn't want to recreate real-life sheeps. We tried to give a message using some cool looking dudes. Because the message itself is serious enough...

It's cute, but I kind of like it without the text, because then it conjures the idea of the Parcae in my mind more.

Wow, I like it. And I like your sheep - they look almost human.
If you squint really hard they look like French dudes with berets.

i think the colour of the shirt should be a warmer brown though.
