nice work...just the right amount of 'light detail'. the car feels a little 'off'...perspective wise or something, but i think it still works. props roadkill. i realize i keep seeing your work and always liking, i think you're almost there man...

("the car feels a little off" --EmbryoProject) well i want the moment of the whole roadkill scene to kind of like leap from the moment per se. at first glance it looks like just charaters but if u take a moment, u'll realize there's something going on. then from there, u'll make the scene of the highway in ur own imagination. with all the other elements like the highway and trees, etc, the car's headed that direction.

I'd like it more if it weren't a car, and just showed a deer hightailing it from running over the kid, and maybe having the kid have hoofprints on him. Haha.

thanks guys!

i think that's a bit more complicated "ilikeice". doing that would require a different rendition and approach. besides, you don't get run off by a deer...

Made me laugh! The illustration really works well to get the idea across. Nice!

"you don't get run off by a deer..."


Yes but if you understood irony, thats what it would be.
We run over deer so the irony would be us being runover by a deer.

Maybe people in this comp should concentrate more on the DESIGN of the shirt rather than trying to convey a concept

lol. that's true but i wanted it to be realistic--doing that would require a cartoony rendition.

but thanks for ur latter statement. :)

haha this is so simple and clever. Great job in idea. I enjoy how you didn't go crazy on the colors. I like the shirt in white ink w/ a colored background. Amazing. $5+iBuy

I agree that the cars perspective seems a little off, like it should be smaller in comparison to the deer.
I adore the technique of lighting and the minimalistic approach.
I would wear it on either colour.

Agree with frickinawesome re negative space. Would not wear it but still very impressed by concept and execution. Gave it a 4.

This would make an awesome stencil design!

I think a slight suggestion of a road would help with the perspective a lot. Right now the three elements seem to be suspended in different parts of space. Easy fix, though, fortunately. =)

trust me i already tried that--as a designer you work around on options etc...

three elements suspended on the shirt captures ur curiosity and makes you think around what's exactly going on in the scene without implying it literally--that's the goal.

the rendition is stencil-like, so it will also require a stencil approach on the highway--and you can only render a highway using the same style by a line (a curve in this case since the car is in a curved perspective, or maybe a a dashed line in the center to suggest partition of lanes and trust me i tried that too)--and a line looked pretty weird hanging on the side of the shirt slightly right down from the car--and to solve that dilemma, u have to add other elements like the trees etc to make it look like unfinished. so there you go...

this is sort of brilliant. hell o' a job. just a simple one color design but I like it a lot.

First off, great stuff, looks amazing! It shows irony that the boy was run over instead of the deer, but I tend to agree that it would be even *more* ironic if a few deer were to replace the car and keep the current deer looking at him as-is. Love it though.
