This is my latest sub. It is for the "Battles" competition that J-ray set up. My theme was "Dark Side of the Fairy Tale" and i based my design on the fairy tale the 12 Brothers. It is a great story for anyone who hasn't hear of it. I hope you enjoy my interpretation!

I really like this. The face and hands are a little weird for me, though- maybe they could both be outlined in the same color?

ps- the shape this design creates is gorgeous.

vixyish on Jun 05 '07

Beautiful! Great to see this one submitted at last!

ladykat on Jun 05 '07

This is quite incredible. You did an amazing job of evoking the folksy yet dark aspect of the brothers Grimm.

yay, night mode! 5.

I love the fairy tale behind this submission, and I think that it's very well-done, in general.

I love how much detail you put into this, and the varying level of detail on the different elements that make them either pop or fade into the background.

thomas ray on Jun 05 '07

this gonna be printed! congrats man!

Alexandra Marie on Jun 05 '07

Sick colors. Go J-Ray for such a kickass theme.

fatheed on Jun 05 '07

Aw man... This is your Threadless Battles entry, so I'm afraid you get 1 from me. For taking part. Lol

fatheed on Jun 05 '07

pickledbib on Jun 05 '07

yeah the colours are great!... particularly love the birds... hope it scores well.

nulo on Jun 05 '07

ohhhh! really awesome!

blandford on Jun 05 '07

the birds are great. I love it, but I think that green blob stands out too much.

kooky love on Jun 05 '07

GREAT $5

tyrsalvia on Jun 05 '07

I think the green blob stands out too much as someone else said. Maybe if it were an outline like the other parts? It's just really distracting from a distance.

Otherwise, $5!

J-Ray on Jun 05 '07

This is gorgeous Jared! I love your use of the theme. $5

FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 06 '07

I want to marry the aqua outline of the design, if that is at all legal. 4$

Chloberry on Jun 07 '07

I wish the girl's faces were prettier and less wrinkled, but everything else is GORGEOUS.

bad_nobe on Jun 07 '07

Work the Angle on Jun 07 '07

ladydragon68 on Jun 08 '07

agree, you should make the girl prettier

herky on Jun 10 '07

beautiful colors and composition.

schleb on Jun 11 '07

Wowza. 5

yoshi andrian on Jun 12 '07

1.93???

BlameTheSuburbs on Jun 12 '07

woa. ripped off.

BlameTheSuburbs on Jun 12 '07

seriously. This is actually good and wearable. Why did it get such a low score?

jrmasm on Jun 12 '07

wow. that score must be wrong. it should read 2.93.

oxo on Jun 12 '07

this is a beautiful piece of art - keep doing more.

Verdana on Jun 12 '07

Creepy and awesome.

J-Ray on Jun 12 '07

Too bad the score is so low but you can take satisfaction in a great work of art ;) It's great!

jstumpenhorst on Jun 12 '07

thanks everyone! i will never stop no matter what the scores.

valorandvellum on Jun 14 '07

Um... I'm going to start crying at the ridiculousness of this score. Is everybody stupid??

13strong on Jun 14 '07

I like this, but I suspect that the face dropped the score a lot. It just doesn't fit.

Everything else is nice though.

valorandvellum on Jun 14 '07

I suspect that people's stupidity dropped the score a lot. I will not build a bridge... I will NOT get over it!

13strong on Jun 14 '07

That's cool V&V - I think Threadless needs to take some measures to stop this kind of thing happening - too many good designs getting low scores, because of idiots who score a 0 without even thinking.

jrmasm on Jun 14 '07

Hey Jstump- I'd love to trade some prints, if you're interested in any of my crap.
Email is in my profile.

jstumpenhorst on Jun 14 '07

thanks V and 13! it's too bad if the face of the girl could ruin the whole thing. i don't understand it but whatever. obviously i'm missing something?!?

herky on Jun 14 '07

very unjust score, but great design nonetheless.

vixyish on Jun 15 '07

What. The. Hell.

I seem to remember reading in one of the blogs somewhere that Threadless staff will sometimes print a design that they like a lot anyway, even if it got a low score. I sincerely hope they like this one enough to do that, because... seriously, WTF? I thought this one would break three.
