Nice one spooky smell face.



If this design is too light you might want to bump the contrast on your monitors.

tone on tone is great... you don't need bold colours to make a design outstanding... I love it's subtlety...

$3, because of the unoriginal butterflies

They are a type of moth, they weren't just invented for a movie.

Before you call someone unoriginal try educating yourself.

Silence of the lambs did not invent the species ¨Acherontia Styx¨

great concept that's up and coming in advertising - whispering your design - you're ahead of your time. $5

tv and movies is in fact not the best way to educate yourself....

ts.. ts...kids.....



a little bit more contrast would do it even more better here i think......still much love for it though!

bananaphone

it's a very large design and print is usually higher contrast than screen so it should be ok. *Should shut up on someone else's design*

ahhhh! I hate every time someone uses this moth someone has to crack on the originality.



THESE ARE REAL MOTHS. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS DOES NOT HOLD THE RIGHTS TO THIS ANIMAL!



I like the design. I give you a 4!

i don't like how the darker orange bits in your design turn lighter than the shirt in your placement. i think the whole thing might have to be darkened for application.

I love the design, but on another color, its too hard too see as it is. Maybe on dark grey ?
Spookybeth
Spookybeth on Feb 05 '08
Ignore the colouring on the placement, that's just to demonstrate size and placement and is not an indication of colour.



Please go by the colours on the design itself and be aware that it is a large design (larger than on screen), meaning it can be more subtle and still work, and that the contrast would be higher in print.



Thanks :)

I love this design, and I love the monochromatic color scheme. This is very interesting. Don't change anything!

Montro, I think Fearless Leader's point was that it appears the artist has retained the skull design on the back of the moth, which was present on the SILENCE OF THE LAMBS movie poster, but is not, in fact present on the actual moth. Calm down before jumping all over somebody like that.
Spookybeth
Spookybeth on Feb 05 '08
Actually no, I wasn't copying the Silence of the Lambs. There are several species of Acherontia, some with a more obvious skull pattern on the back than others. This one (the one I was drawing from *photos*)

has a very clear skull pattern which you will recognise as that I've drawn in my design.

Has this to do with the broadway play spring awakening per chance? ... maybe just a word coincidence...

I'm not sure how I feel about it being on orange.. Though, it does go with the whole autumn theme. But I love the design.
Neon Samurai
Neon Samurai on Feb 11 '08
I think it's a really pretty design but I'm not sure about the colours, all in all it seems to get a little lost against the background. I think the orange suits the theme I'd just like a little more contrast. Still it's really lovely.
