About my design
by empiricist   
This piece of artwork was inspired by this great wintery season. I was contemplating about how hard it would to be survive this chilly time of the year without modern conveniences. I decided to pay homage to all the hunters who have come before us sacrificing themselves for life to persevere through time.

I chose to use two different inks, one charcoal grey for the entire scene and a silvery blue specialty ink for their cold breath. I’m debating between metallic clear or shimmer ink, let me know what you think?

What a lovely picture with a great story. Love how you've used the entire shirt as your canvas. Really nice job on minimal inks & white shirt- really gives off that wintry feel.

nicely done, I love the simplicity and your drawing style.

If it prints... I'll hope for another tee color option. Darker :)

very well done!

using the whole shirt really gives the design some zing since
shirt viewers ends up resembling what the hunter is doing
by walking around the wearer like a tree during a hunt

I definitely think it would be cool inverted as well, the only negative is that it might lose a bit of it's winteriness without the white.

Thank you, Thank you!!!

I initially thought about using embroidery for the breath, but then I didn't know if it would contrast enough against the characters? If it does stand out I would definitely use it, for now I'm leaning towards metallic clear ink. Thanks for again commenting!
