This is awesome. I would like to see a "really big" version of it just to get the detail.

Looks awkward to me, I'd put it in Eagle vs. Shark. (I'm assuming love is the reason the monster stole the pretty girl, as that's the way these things typically go.)

It's a beauty, but the preview could be worked on. Even with your links, it is still difficult to see details.

   grayehound on Jun 18 '07
that looks like it could be an incredible piece of art. too bad we can't tell.
fatheed
   fatheed on Jun 18 '07
Amazing. It is very evocative of the style of Erté so fashion designers and art history connoisseurs will appreciate this one. Post a link to a detailed version and give the people the pixels they desire! $5 (benefit of the doubt)

the drawing is nuts... the finish might have been nicer if you redrew it cleanly, but it is kind of a dirty image anyways... wock on!

   francobolli on Jun 20 '07
My pleasure, Joni!



I forgot to mention that ideally I reckon it would be wicked if the white line work would be a silver ink with a subtle shine and the deep purple of her dress printed with a velvet feel... making the tee more than just an aesthetic design. That is if it is even chosen for print! Hah...



Once again cheers for all the comments.

very cool illustration ! The only thing I see is that if you put her pearl necklace back together, it would be longer than she is tall. I first thought it was a rope around her neck or something.

Hmmmm.....I think I would keep the piece in his hand as is, but really shorten the remaining bit around her neck. 5 anyway

Yeah, this should have scored way way higher...when a dinosaur with a monocle scores 2.6, it's depressing
Quid Pro Quo
Quid Pro Quo on Jun 28 '07
Maybe you could define the pearls a little bit more and have a few flying away? Then resubmit it?



I don't know.. I just really wanted this to get printed.

It would be a shame if you didn't try atleast one more time.
