About my design

by marskinis
Sometimes it seems that all you hear in the news is bad news. Bombs, war, people not gettin' along with each other.... I took that theme and carried it into a design. A bad-news-boy. Pitching bombs instead of papers. After all, the content seems to be the same most of the time.

it doesn't look like he's actually thrown that

Ya, it kind of looks like he's about to catch the grenade. I think this is a cool idea and with a few modifications I'd 5 it for sure.

if the grenade was flipped 180 degrees, it'd look more like he threw it. it currently looks like someone's throwing a pass at him like a football. cool concept though.

Hey guys. I appreciate the comments / criticism. Looking at it now, I agree, I have to rotate and make that grenade smaller. Maybe have the grenade pin in the rider's hand or something. Thanks for the heads-up.

just so you know... that grenade isnt armed. when you pull the pin and throw it, that little handle-type thing on the side (called the spoon) flies off starting the fuse.



still i like the design a lot. listen to everyone else about rotating the grenade.

Yeah I thought he was going to be hit by the grenade instead of throwing it. Although I do like the outrageously huge missiles in his backpack.

add something to it to make it look like he's moving

( action lines?, fabric trailing behind horizontally?,

blur the spokes?, dust clouds behind the tires, etc.. )

Looks super awesome on the tee.....just shrink the image a bit on the tee and lower it and we're good to go paper bombing.

Very likely print. Fix the grenade and you're golden.

Maybe it would look better on a black background and if the boy was still peddling...I love the concept though, great idea!
