Up close it's really hard to tell what it is.. or at least by the background graphic of the eye... but I really love it!!!! 5!

I love it as an album cover, poster, or other medium, but the proportions on the t-shirt seem a little off--seems to cramped stretching all the way next to the armpits. I think it would be even more powerful if it were smaller--so you really have to zero in on it.
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 12 '07
Really? well the placement is approximate, so don't let that really effect your opinion of it. I had thought about the intersection with the armpits, and i also would not want that to happen, so it would be smaller on the actual shirt.

I think it would look cool on the side, but then I suppose you couldn't see all the detail on the eye. Just a suggestion.
wetpet
wetpet on Dec 12 '07
it is a nice design but I agree with Nate, it should be a bit smaller

OOOH SASSOOK-KUN IS MY FAVE!

...sorry couldn't resist the anime nerd impulses XD



but yeah, this could really benefit from a little decrease in size. its visual weight is just a bit overpowering as is.. otherwise i'd buy it in a heartbeat ^_^

wetpet:



i also agree, but that is an issue that could easily be fixed just by threadless if the design gets printed





everyone:



COOL! i'm glad you dig the design. I can't believe I didn't notice the similarity between the new version and the sharingan, thats really cool and completely acidental. lets see how it scores!

christ, man.



i assume this is the first you've seen of the design, but it has had a lot of work done. i am not trying to be antagonistic, i'm just saying, if this version's not it, than its over.



peace

ps: take a look at the critique to see how this work evolved:



the critique the only thing i ask is that you please don't vote this down because you want me to sub one of the other versions.



i hope others have been having as good a time in the critique section as i have.



peace

You remind me of ths one dude, Roscoe, who was in one of my college illustration classes. After a few class crits on our finished works, we realized all of Roscoe's stuff had the exact 3 colors in it. Turns out, those were the only color pencil he owned.



Anyway.



Not bad. I love 1984. And your red/white/black colors work with this. 3
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 12 '07
thanks. Yeah, I know i've been working on this theme and design forever. this is the last version, period.



thanks for the response mezo. knowing that my designs tend not to be your taste, it means a lot.



peace.

WOW, am so glad you posted the link to the critique, it was really intriguing to see the process you went through with the different versions. I love seeing evolutions of designs like that. They all really rocked, but I think you hit the nail on the head with this one, and I'm glad you submitted it.



..... am not a fangirl, really. lol

epocalypse on Dec 13 '07
cool ^_^ thanks much for checking it out. I am a major proponent of the critiques, and I recommend them to everyone!

Dont want to let you down, but the Big brother logo (the reality show) is this same concept: eye with a camera inside.

Weird no one pointed that out.



Your design is a more attractive and stylized version, but if I saw this on the street I would automatically think of the reality show.

really? well they got the idea from the same book i got the idea from, and i have never seen the show. anyways, what do you think of the design?
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 13 '07
huh, well thanks, the maze. still, i think mine manages to stand on its own.

Large print, yes! It looks great on a tee. I haven't read 84 yet... In fact there's a lot of classics I've not read yet.



This works well. Great job.

Ya' got my vote.

more like 20, but i do comment on my own designs too much ^^



thanks!

beedrill on Dec 16 '07
I like the creepiness of the design, but it would be cooler on a darker color, I almost want to say black, but that would merge with the design. Had I done it I would have used dark grey on the black parts of the eye and black as a background, but it's coll nevertheless.



I like that you comment on critiques, some designers never say a word.
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 16 '07
i like to respond. yeah, if you've seen my critique for this, i did attempt an on black version.
