About my design

by Tombie
Inspired by listening to dark, folky music, my design symbolises life, death and transformation. Or it's just a cool deer-girl with moth, a skull and some birds.



7 colours on brown. (Logo and sig not part of the printed design).

that 'bug' is actually a death's head hawk moth, Acherontia species. It's real.

yah, the bug is from Silence of The Lambs, I watch that like a week ago.



Please do something original; rely on your own creativity.

as bio-bot said, the moth is a real species, some of whom just happened to be featured in a film once. there's nothing wrong with letting mr. moth here have another moment of stardom.

Ahahahaha at Fearless Leader. Dipshit.



And I have to agree with jean warhol....the girl's face is odd. Everything else is pretty snazzy, though.

So, Silence Of The Lambs own the rights to the death's head moth, and Pete Fowler the exclusive rights to antlers?



I also stole the birds from Hitchcock's 'The Birds", the blackberries from my local fruit and veg shop, and the female form from Hugh Hefner.

Great illustration, not something I personally would wear, but lots would, so I'm gonna $5 it anyway, to counteract some of the damage done by the the idiots above.

I love it-- this is so my kinda thing. My only (minor) complaint is that I don't really like her face too much.



I'd buy it anyway though, I think. $5

Made me hear Sarah McCachlan (sp?) sing. And that's not good.

the skull logo on the moth seems really out of place, even stylistically.



everything else is just gorgous....very pagan.

now im not saying you stole anything... or anything like that, but the first thing that comes to mind is silence of the lambs because of that bug. i dont know if thats going to be an association that most people would make, but i wouldn't want people asking if that was what it was all the time. but like i said, maybe not many people would think about that. other than that, i think its an awesome design

It reminds me of that spanish designer.....Catalina something.....She's really good so that's a compliment! I think this is great.

i think the only reason people keep making the "silence of the lambs" connection is because of the placement of the moth. it's upright and centered over everything – positioned very much like the moth on the movie cover (see here: http://www.ecu.edu/cs-studentlife/universityunions/images/The_Silence_of_the_Lambs_poster.jpg ).

i think this is a great illustration and i don't feel that you're ripping anything off. i'm just throwing in my two cents as to why people are making that association. something to think about.

nice work!

Seems this has divided people, so I'm interested to see what score I get.



Shame about the Silence of the Lambs thing - it never even crossed my mind that people would connect it so strongly with that. :/

this is groovy, i think the girl lets it down a bit though. she looks a bit too butch with big old arms etc. the blackberry bush and the birds are really good though. maybe try a design with just them?

Illustrations are awesome, I just don't get how everything comes together as a whole, you know? Maybe the girl is throwing me off, too?
