About my design

by Aytee
Arther always was very polite;

Sadly, he was never all that bright.

Whenever vinnylo comments a small child who loves race cars and fire engines dies.



$5, i'd wear it, and i'd make vinnylo wear it side by side as we hold hands and gallop through town.

As if you didn't hear this enough already, you should venture into the world of children's books. As for this design... and all of your designs thus far... I would definitely wear them on t-shirts. I love your style. $5

Great! You've quickly built up a solid fan base Aytee- and for good reason!

Aytee on Oct 09 '07
:D Thanks for all the comments!



As for drawing techniques, I'm not actually all that consistent. Often times I'll get an idea, and I'll start sketching it out on paper before drawing it out on the computer, but sometimes I just draw from scratch on flash.



Everything I draw is just with the paintbrush tool in flash. I just get an outline going, then start shading with some form of sloppy cross-hatching.



I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're asking... But that's the best answer I can give.



I guess it doesn't sound all that amazing when you actually hear it. :O

I agree with Vinnylo in the sense that you should illustrate children's books, but I love your designs as well. I'd even say you're my favorite.

Dude, listen to the masses. I've told you this before - you're an amazing illustrator and you should be working on a children's book! Your style is perfectly suited to it. Get yourself a literary agent and a list of publishers and start sending some of stuff out - a story book about the polite but not-so-bright Arthur would be an instant hit! I'm not sure I would wear this, but I'd buy it anyway and get it framed.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. I'm definitely considering the whole children's book thing. Maybe I'll look into it after I graduate, because I still have no idea in hell what I'm doing with my life. :O

everything u've come out with is so damn cute and perfect for your style. Absolutely write a childrens book. Or I'll write a book, and u can illustrate it, and we'll make millions. that works for me too.

theres a kids cartoon character, i think its name is Oscar and it has a bowler hat. Looks very similar.

I feel that I have to jump in here and tell you how much I adore your style. I love the rough edges and texture, not to mention you pick WONDERFUL and very eye pleasing colors. You are obviously very talented! I think this is my favorite of your subs so far and the little mini poem made it all the better. I am sure it is just a matter of time before you get one printed.

fantastic! your stuff is absolutely brilliant. and i agree with the couple of others who have mentioned the children's book thing...i would really look into that as a career. you've clearly got the talent.

OK, HE GETS IT! He should draw children's books! Let's call for a stoppage until the man actually makes some now, k? lol.



Anywho, i LOVE the concepts you are starting to put out there! this one is ace, i'd just like to see the top part of the fire hydrant accented a little bit so it draws more instant attention to itself. Other than that, really good as usual.



oh, and i don't think i've seen anyone say i before...but your stuff looks like ace material for children's books. I know it's a radical idea, but go with me on this.
