land of the small hands? i like the colors
|
 |
viralVISUAL on Jul 18 '07 It's very well done. Would like more contrast though.
|
 |
The colour scheme makes it a little difficult to see all the details you put into this.

beesneak on Jul 18 '07 Shirt Placement plus a little atmosphere courtesy of Shanghai Triad
shirt placement/closer up/ song The great music is from the group 'Shanghai Triad'. music group link The music really captures what the feel of the artwork should be. ....if you would like to hear the music, please press the little play button as I don't know how to get it to auto start. Thanks for all the comments. |

i sort of like the color scheme because only what's most important to you will pop out...but at the same time i find myself wondering what is important?

Robsoul on Jul 18 '07 very interesting tee, politically and artistically.
I really love the tonal look of the tee and the beautifully done illustration. fantastic work, wow, 5+$. |
 |
love it $5
|
 |
very dark, but otherwise ace
|

Kookaberry on Jul 18 '07 I can't see a damn thing and that's sad because it looks like it would be pretty cool.
|
|
Very Nice
|
 |
f it had more contrast i would give 5$ but at this moment 3
|
|
I like it without contrast
|

beesneak on Jul 18 '07 The idea behind the illustration is to exemplify the romance, sensuality, danger, and intrigue of Shanghai during the 1930's. With gangsters, war, and infighting amongst Communist and Nationalists, this was an interesting time indeed. In this drawing, a woman who is in love with a nationalist soldier awaits his return. In case any unwanted visitors arrive, she is ready for them as well.

beesneak on Jul 18 '07 Thanks Robsoul, your description was what I was going for.
|
 |
The proportions of her left arm are a bit off, but it's a very good design nonetheless.
|
 |
umm
ya so its a really cool idea and design. but it needs to pop out at ya more....cuz right now...you can barely see it. but great job! |
 |
i really like it. i'd put more shading in and make her hands a bit bigger
|
 |
mj00 on Jul 18 '07 I love, love, love subtle colors. I think they set a great mood for this piece, and with brighter colors a lot of the emotional resonance would be lost. (The people talking about the proportions are right, but it's an easy fix and so won't affect the score I give).
|
 |
It's hard to see. The sublety might make it a great piece of art, but does it work for a shirt?
|

beesneak on Jul 18 '07 Rathany-
Point well taken. I don't know why, but it isn't that hard to see on my two monitors. Maybe I need to check it out on someone elses. Thanks for all the feedback. Brian |
 |
the subtle colours are great... nice work.
|
 |
her left arm/hand looks disproportionate, but i love the concept and colours!
|
 |
I wish her shape made more sense
|
|
beesneak on Jul 19 '07 Thanks all, bump for more votes.
|
 |
forget all the comments about the contrast...i like this...it forces people to really get close and have a good look at the design...that said...the design could be a little more interesting..
|
 |
This really does need some more contrast to it.
|
|
beesneak on Jul 19 '07 Thanks for the in depth feedback on both of my submissions opifan64, it is really appericated. I'll take in account all the feedback from everyone on my gmail submission.
Thanks, Brian |
|
like the idea..
colors make it hard to see though.. |
|
beesneak on Jul 20 '07 Thanks, it seems it's pretty unanimous.
Brian |
 |
the more i look at it the better it is... i like teh lack of contrast and it is a great in its subtlty which is what i think you may have been going for...
great stuff 5 |
 |
yoshi andrian on Jul 21 '07 wow.. great illustration, you have skill and style! 5!
|
|
beesneak on Jul 21 '07 Thanks Brandon and Yoshi for the kind words.
|
 |
from what i can see, it looks pretty dang cool. maybe it's my monitor or my danged deficient cones and rods (in mah eyeballs), but i just can't see it. i'll score it high though, because combining the description and what i can see, i think it's neat-o.
|
|
beesneak on Jul 21 '07 Thanks. I just check my design on my friend's shop computer, and it does seem a bit too dark. Strange that it was ok on my two lcd monitors at home.

Great detail, but feel it needs more contrast--maybe darker lines? I like the red shirt.
|
|
too dark for my blood
|
|
This is great, but up the contrast, please. It's really hard to make out on my monitor.
|
|
beesneak on Jul 26 '07 Ouch again, let's see how my next sub will do:)
Thanks for all your votes and comments. Brian |
