Okay... sooo... First we're afraid of monsters. And then Darth Vader. And then Uncle Sam, and then death? What?
|
 |
this is silly
|
 |
I really like the concept, but I'm not sure I understand the Darth Vader element. As children we're afraid of imaginary boogeymen, (once again not sure about Darth Vader), as adults our fears become less tangible--we're afraid of the faceless "Powers In Charge," i.e. government, and, finally, we have to face the fear of our own mortality. I love it, but maybe something else should be put in place of Darth Vader--something that represents an adolescent's fear of rejection, maybe?

This is awesome (I love the Uncle Sam), but I agree with sparrow, Darth Vader has got to go.
|
 |
kaloyster on Sep 01 '07 You should put Uncle Sam at last.
|
 |
Maybe Freddy Krueger instead of Darth? and Death as a mushroom cloud?
|
|
i was more afraid of the emperor than Darth, personally. also, I think uncle sam should be making the same creepy hand motion as the others, with/out darth.

no words

|
zombies instead of darth maybe?
|
|
slimer?
|
 |
Fantastic. I wouldn't change it, despite never having been afraid of Darth Vader. I would say I just had "deep respect" for Darth Vader.
|
|
Don't change a thing.
|
|
I agree. Don't change a thing. Uncle Sam's pose just make him more terrifying, and you know what they say: "Everything's better with Darth Vader."
|
|
I just want to say one thing, post script: Maybe the background colour could be something a little less... bland? That one looks like it will be printed Heather Gray, and I oppose all things Heather Gray, cause it just looks cheap. Maybe sandstone, or some darker vairant thereof?
|
 |
if somehow you could replace Uncle Sam with the IRS
|
 |
How about a prissy snobby girl instead of Vader
|
 |
spires on Sep 02 '07 Darth Vader and Uncle Sam to me, represent the exact same things.
|
 |
sparrow22 is right, I was never afraid of Vader, didn't you watch it when you were a kid? He was evil, but no chucky. Perhaps a teacher/parent? So you get a 4 for now.
|
|
Why the Darth Vader? I think every kid thought he was the coolest guy in the world - they weren't afraid of him. Fix Vader and you've got a good design.
|
 |
Vader because children of the 70's and 80's were afraid of him. I originally had IRS instead of Sam... but I couldn't represent him without IRS on his briefcase. It's not heather it's charcoal.
|
|
si ça dépendais de moi j'aurai placé l'oncle Sam partout...
|
|
I love it. Keep the V-Man.
|
 |
i like it. :]
|
|
There should be a little more logic - I have a hard time making the logical leap from one to the other.
|
 |
replace vader with a clown. hell, everyone's afraid of clowns.
|
 |
i love that darth vader is in it. everything looks better with darth vader
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 04 '07 You should change uncle sam to the george bush with a big banner above him that says "TERRORISTS ARE OUT TO GET US!!!", and darth vader to a CLOWN for god sakes. That's the scariest thing in exostence for most people in childhood.
|
 |
splatkunst.dk on Sep 04 '07 good idea. no need for text.
|
 |
Kookaberry on Sep 04 '07 Actually maybe a clown instead of the ghost, lol. I loved Darth Vader, what the hell are most older kids scared of? Hmm...maybe show a pretty popular girl pointing out at the "audience" (breaking the fourth wall) and pointing and laughing? Older kids are afraid of being losers, that's a pretty good way of representing that I think.
|
|
meh...
|
 |
i would have liked it more without the text. it is a little heavy-handed as it is.
|
 |
looooooooove the idea
|
 |
a dalek instead of darth. everyone knows your meant to be scared of them at least. i never felt i was meant to be scared of darth. or even just a police man. always running from them as a teenager. but yeah....watever you do replace darth. and give sam the same stance.
|
 |
DON'T CHANGE DARTH.
|
|
Dalek FTW! I may not be a kid from the 70s/80s, but did watch the movies when I was 7, and Vader was just a BA evil dude not scary. Like I said Chucky was scary. Vader was never goin to come out of my closet and kill me. And then there are a good number of people who don't give a damn about Star Wars and might not get it at all, cause even if they say it they weren't afraid of villian. Dalek would be awesome but still a little unkown. Perhaps Jason, Freddy or Pin-Head?
|
 |
Or that old chick from the goonies lol.
|
|
I was more afraid of my dad. He drank. A lot.
|
 |
no text. maybe pin head, it, leather face, bah...difficult to say.
but first of uncle sam I'd place a cop.. |
|
Ah, a cop. Now that is something I consider between monsters and the gov. When your just a young middle/high schooler somkin pot.
|
 |
YAY! Everything really IS better with Darth Vader!! $4 just because of that! :)
|
 |
I would buy this if it didn't have the words explaining it at the bottom.
$5 Anyway! :) |
 |
thats nice
|
 |
Agreed....I was afraid of Darth Vadar when I was young! I'm with you, nlcast!
|
 |
I love the concept and execution.
Although, I was never afraid of Darth Vader.. And I don't really like the text. Perhaps if it was on the back? |
 |
thats so true...
