Soo...I like the background more than the shirt...could you do something with that?



I guess I kinda like the guys with color!

Great characters, but where's the concept?

No, no,no you got it all wrong. hehe

although i thank you for the comments,

Itīs not meant to have colour.

I just used the Samurai you liked on the back, for the presentation.

Itīs the simple Brush Strokes on the shirt drawin what i like.

The art is cool, and I'll buy (nearly) anything Samurai.



That said, I'd like this more if it was a wrap-around design with another warrior on the back for this one to face off against.

I think the art is impeccable, it resembles a chinesse ink painting. The strength of the character is what it matters, you bet i'll wear it!!

No More Bento would slice this redneck samarai through and through in miliseconds flat! I agree with bio-bot, it needs more of a concept or needs color and additional illustration elements. I like the characters, now let's see what else you can do with them.

"Great characters, but where's the concept?"



Why does it need a concept? Just because it isn't punning or in some way 'clever' doesn't mean it's not worthy. Personally I'm getting fed up with all those kind of designs. This is great, simple and very wearable. Fi dollah sir!

I agree. I dig it. $5

Thank u people.

Althou I think the concept matters in some cases.

A goodlooking fun shirt doesnīt always have to have

a punch line, a joke, a gag

Wordplay, or a parody.

I really like it, but I wish there was more going on in it.

I like it... the background is fun too. Maybe another design with the

"simple samauri" and friends in the future :)



They look like something out of a French BD - nice pro comic books for the older crowd.
Juanmanimation
Juanmanimation on Jan 19 '08
Yeah these are exactly the same designs form Mulan, I totally Ripped em off, and since samurai are ..CHINESE...

come on now, jus because i drew them on that style, and they are Asian warriors, doesnt mean you have to reference em. directly to the first thing you think of.
Juanmanimation
Juanmanimation on Jan 19 '08
Eternal student: Yes! Iīm thinkin about featuring em, on another t shirt.

thanks for the comments guys

Interesting combination of a simple, beautiful sumi-e style landscape and a rough pen and ink caricature. The contrast between the grizzled, agitated samauri and the serenity and calm of the landscape is enough concept for me. Yin and yang, war and peace.

A bit subtle perhaps, but that's zen for you, never loud but still profound in its message.



Really nice work. You should purse this style and see where it takes you.



Good work

Juanmanimation
Juanmanimation on Jan 22 '08

It's not bad, but it should have done better. I think this is a great, clean design.



"I like the characters, now let's see what else you can do with them." I though this was a bit patronising, but unfortunately the way many voters think.
