 not too much to comment about hope you like
|
 |
well drawn mythical cult figure. but well drawn.
|
 |
he's definitley not mythical....he's in the history books...great drawing btw, nice comic feel to it
|
|
history books also show world was flat.
|
 |
yeah which was made up by people who didn't believe there was anything beyond human comprehension... once people close their minds to possibilities they come up with stupid ideas like "the world is flat" -- my 2 cents
|
|
great illustration btw
|
 |
jesus is real to many people and false to others.
just as the world is flat for some and round for others. its all about what you believe to be true, and people are allowed to carry their own opinions. And in MY opinion i dont belive this should become some epic religious discussion, comment on the artists work please, and post your religious views elsewhere. thanks and this drawing is very well done, have you by chance considered illustrating childrens books? |
 |
hey_barn on Feb 08 '08 I wouldn't wear/buy this because of 'content' but I wanted to say DAMN great linework & character design!
|
 |
i second that (hey barn)
|
 |
^agreed. great illustration style, but apply it to something that everyone can wear...
|
 |
I agree with the other comments about the quality of the illustration and character, but not a fan of the subject matter.
|
|
okay thats coo... i will be submitting more art... just keep the look out!!!
|
|
but really, whats wrong with the subject matter... is every one fleeing the Truth?
|
|
yikes...no one is fleeing anything. this design shows YOUR belief. Nicely done but not a figure everyone would wear on a shirt.
|
 |
He's a historical figure, whether you believe he has religious importance. I wouldn't wear this but I respect your beliefs.
|
 |
haa, if you added the text "..is every one fleeing the Truth?" to the shirt i'd wear it ironically, maybe.
|
|
haha^
|
 |
hey, I was doing fine till "fleeing the truth" ...
|
|
Not everyone agrees that a historical jesus ever existed.
|
 |
he's not a historical figure, he's like paul bunyan or johnny appleseed. just a fable that's been (somehow) blown wayyyyy out of proportion for about 2008 years. i'd rather worship a giant lumberjack guy that has a giant ox and cuts down trees anyways.
in any event, i wouldn't wear it unless it has some witty saying like "evolution rocks" or something like that, but an incredibly awesome and super stylized take on j.c. i'm going for a 4 |
|
Not everyone believes in the holocaust either. Don't hate!
|
|
people that don't believe in the holocaust deserve to be slapped.... about a million times.
|
|
nobody's hating. If someone states something as a fact with no evidence to back it up, I reserve the right to dissagree. There's evidence that the holocaust happened. There's no evidence of a historical Jesus. If you choose to believe something on "faith", fine, but don't expect everyone to agree with you.
|
 |
Threadless has sold out enough jesus shirts. I don't want to see another one. No religious shirts (or even religious figure).
please 0 |
 |
great illustration!
|
 |
Montro on Feb 08 '08 Awesome skills! Ignore the bitter ones, design whatever you want!
|
|
I love how this looks on the shirt! The fact that the design is religious doesn't bother me. Unfortunately you're limiting your audience.
|
 |
jesus + comic books = boring.
|
|
well the "Loaded Bible: Jesus vs. Vampires" comic was pretty good.
|
 |
was there a Jesus: The Animated Series that I missed?
|
 |
Bio- I was thinking the same thing, like he stepped out of Prince of Egypt or another dreamworks production. Awesome line art darlin'
|
 |
I wouldn't wear it, but I love your style
|
 |
I don't think it would get printed here, because of content, but the drawing is gorgeous. I'm not terribly religious, but the expression on his face definitely moved me when I saw it. =)
|
 |
Great image. I find it sad that people find the need to awkwardly and obviously inject antagonistic phrases like "mythical cult figure" in their critique of the design simply to try and stir shit up. Grow up and just say whether you like it or not, if you feel the need to say anything. They guy's not trying to force anything on you, so why feel the need to dig at him like that? Obviously this type of stuff gets under people's skin and they feel the need to lash out.
|
 |
Religious our not it is a great illustration
|
|
Love the illustration, getting seriously annoyed with all the random comments on content. If it were Buddah or anybody else, I doubt people would be so quick to judge. Keep your personal crap at home, judge the drawing, or bust. Great work.
|
 |
I'm sorry b.ran. For the record, I reserve the right to vote based on the quality of the artwork, the way it looks on a shirt, and the content. They are all subjective. I understand that. While this shouldn't necessarily boil down to a religious debate on his existence, it's fair to comment on (or zero) content.
|
|
You know what? A lot of people don't like religious designs. A lot of people don't like happy rainbows or faux Nigel girls. We have a right to say whether we like the subject matter or not. And I think everyone here agrees that the artwork is top notch and the designer obviously has talent. If you choose to put up a design with a controversial subject, be prepared to deal with people's reactions.
|
|
So... I am confused about something. Let me see if I get this straight. The design above should be judged on its artistic merit, and not its semantic content (which may or may not be contentious.) While this is "tasteless," "digusting," a "P.O.S.," etc. I think someone would have to be seriously kidding themselves to say that "No Devotion" was judged solely on its artistic merits (whatever those might be,) and not its contentious semantic content.
I am not suggesting "No Devotion" is a superior shirt design, but I don't remember anyone running to its defense saying "Guys, don't hate on the message, everyone has the right to their beliefs, just judge the artwork." etc. Regardless of anyone's individual response to "No Devotion" (" Dude, I totally DID judge it solely on its artistic merit!") you cannot deny that the aggregate response has a decidedly different flavor. |
 |
Great artwork. 5!
|
 |
lovely linework, but 0 due to content
|
 |
I love how this forum turns into religious discussion. Jesus is my personal savior..and I would definitely buy this design :)
|
 |
great illustration of the One I love the most
I like how you use the smooth curve with the bent corner throughout the design ( adam's apple, nose, lower eye lid, etc.) |
 |
I wouldn't wear it... not a fan of Jesus.
|
 |
Wow, pretty good shirt, then a bunch of retarded comments from people who insist on "correcting" others. Irony.
|
 |
I can't wait to wear this to remind all non-christians what awaits them after they die -- eternal damnation and suffering! And I can be all in-your-face about it with this GIANT jesus face! Awesome! My religion condemns all non-believers to hell! Yay!
^ The only irony, ryan, is that followers of other religions think ~they're~ promised salvation and that ~we're~ the infidels who will burn in hell! How sad and pathetic they are in their ignorance. They'll learn the error of their ways when a demon is poking them in the ass with a pitchfork for millions of years, as our bible says they will. |
 |
why? It's a cool drawing of God, but really who would want to wear it?
|
|
I’d buy it! (This coming from a Christian, but you gotta admit it looks great on the shirt) I hope it gets printed but religion is an overly sensitive topic so... :\
|
 |
very nice, the simple detail works great with the big size. $5
|
|
very nice character design.
|
|
thank you everybody for the comments... lovely lovely lovely...
|
 |
Cool style and nice drawing!
|
 |
Religion or not, who cares... its about your design, which is really well done. It has a disney coloring book quality to it which is rockin'... I hope you sub some more cute stuff! :D
|
 |
Your design is beautiful. I personally would not wear this shirt due to the content, but keep sub-ing...I love your style.
|
 |
mezo on Feb 11 '08 Gorgeous lines that have an almost musical flow to it. Like many, I would not wear a shirt that had a jesus head on it. But I do appreciate your work and hope to see more designs from you. 4
|
 |
blacktiger, I am sorry that this has turned into a religious discussion - for Xtianity or against it. If this ends up on a board somewhere or something, I'd love to be invited, but this is not the appropriate forum for this.
I share the sentiment of a lot of the posters that this is a great drawing. I can't wait to see what else you can do. |
 |
Jesus meets Aladdin?
|
 |
farflung on Feb 12 '08 this is very nicely done!
i'd like to see a portrait of Pan (the poor proto-devil, he gets a bad rap) done in this style. |
 |
It kills me every time someone has a jesus sub up here, the same arguements are hashed and re-hashed! lol. Yes, some people believe in this magic man and some don't, but the fact is this isn't the place to sell un-ironic religious images. They have to promote religious tolerance or togetherness (BFF) or a goofy jesus using the force (obi wan kerrist) or being mocked by British policemen!
Fantastic drawing tho. Let's see your non-Christ works of art. |
 |
"well drawn mythical cult figure"
ha. looks like somebody got molested by a priest. |
 |
This is crazy...LOL...First things, it is the TRUTH. Second thing...its also a SHIRT people. This is suppose to be judge on artistic merit, not BELIEFS. Personally, I'm a christian and I firmly believe in Christ but c'mon on people! you guys make a mountain out of a mole hill. If you don't want to buy it, its cool. Its still good art.Much love to you still, but why you gotta bash on the artist? Craziness....even still, much love to everyone.
|
|
i understand now where a lot of people's heads are at!!!
|
 |
not buying this at all.
but looks neat. |
|
Dude...I can tell you now, looking at these comments, things are worst then I ever thought...
|
|
yea man... really they are...
|
 |
Well done! It looks a lot like a Disney style of a cartoon.+
|
 |
well done Hands down
|
|
Love the design - great work!
|
 |
I agree with Daith Lee, things are worse than ever. This is the youth of america— and it's pretty pathetic. To think that evolution is even put out there as a serious topic is laughable.
|
 |
I don't recognize this character. Is he historical or literary?
|
|
evolution is now going to be put in the school's curriculum... sorry folks i didn't come from an animal..
but any who... our youth is falling by the waste side |
|
there is a lot of preaching here, not much things said about the draw.
anyway, i said what i thought and have nothing else to do here. |
|
anyone whos sure they are right about matters with religion is clearly a moron as you cant prove either way.. give up and stop complaining. and religious studies is alredy taught in schools. i think some alternative views on where we came from are needed in schools to even things out.. so shh blacktigerman.
and conserning the design.. i think the debate its caused speaks for itself. |
|
Art work is fantastic- really touching actually...
But, like other people have said, I couldn't wear it because of the content. You got any other artwork up around somewhere? I like your style. :] |
|
Blacktiger, you're not going to win friends and influence people by pushing your narrow religious views. Great art doesn't tell people what to think, but encourages them figure it out for themselves. You have some real talent, but you're shooting yourself in the foot here. Stop proselytizing.
And actually, the more I think about this design, the more I like it for it's (perhaps unintentioal) irony. Science continues to answer more and more of our questions, and religion is getting squeezed into irrelevence. I'm sure someday, the story of Jesus will be considered as just another fairy tale or ancient myth. That's why I see this cartoon representation so appropriate. Feel free to dissagree. People's interpretations of your art aren't always what you intended. And that's the beauty of it. We are FREE to make up our own minds about what it means. So i'm changing my score from a 4 to a 5, and maybe a buy. |
|
Thanks Twilson82...I wonder would we have this much debate if this was a Buddha or Muhammed drawing. I don't think so because only the truth hurts. No one here is forcing the beliefs of one person on another. We believe in Christ. Some don't. If anything, the ones who don't believe are the ones in these comments forcing their beliefs on others. Its crazy how this is all going over a shirt a design of the Messiah...heck if I wanted to argue something, I could say that, "WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE BLACK?!" Know why I don't? cause its just plain stupid. You like the shirt or you don't. Yea or Nay. You like the line control or you don't. Yea or Nay... That's all THIS is about...
|
|
you can bet that if this was a depiction of Muhammed, that any Muslims here would be completely outraged, and there would be a fatwa issued against the artist and maybe Threadless, too. Daith Lee, you need to go back and read Shorthanded's response. You're the one claiming to have the final word on what is "truth". And what do you even mean by "why does he have to be black?!"
|
|
mezo on Feb 13 '08 LOL @ the truth
|
 |
haha... i actually think there's more comments on here saying "stop hating" than there are ones actually hating. the large majority seem to be saying nice style, i wouldn't wear it tho. fair enuff. i agree actually.
and.. lol @ arius. |
|
mezo on Feb 13 '08 p.s. Black- evolution is not exactly us coming from an animal, but about how our bodies and organs are evolving today. It IS possible to be a christian and still believe in evolution.
|
|
farflung on Feb 13 '08 Here's a few questions to help people decide if they believe in Evolution:
1. Do you believe in the molecule DNA? 2. Do you believe that you inherited characteristics from your parents via DNA? 3. Do you believe that tiny errors are sometimes made when DNA is copied? 4. Do you believe that very occasionally, these errors can have a positive effect? If you answered yes to all these questions, you believe in Evolution. Welcome! |
|
stop messing with mah brain with your demonic science jibberish!
|
|
farflung on Feb 13 '08 LOL
|

You could've gotten me with my typo there...what I meant was, "why does he have to be white" I was thinking about being black and I typed in "black", lol...my bad.
What I mean by him not being black is simply this..considering the geographical area, He would be of darker skin and remsemble more of an african american ( as far as skin color and hair) BUT what i was getting at, is it would be stupid of me to argue that because its IRRELAVANT what the Son looks like, Much like its stupid and irrelavant to argue about religion and beliefs over a shirt. You have your belief and We have ours. I'd still shoot hoops with ya if I met ya. But I'd dunk on ya at least once, lol. |
|
considering the geographical area, wouldn't he be of arab appearance, not african american? - just sayin'.
and as for " You have your belief and We have ours", didn't you previously say "it is the TRUTH"? |
|
Nothing gettin past you, Capt. Obvious. And Yes I did...But I'm not going to force it on you. You believe what you want, bro. Not mad at ya. Second, those homies have some dark skin and some nappy hair...especially back then. I'm sure back then they didn't have soul glo, lol.

As you might have guessed, I am not a religious person. I believe the only meaning to our lives is what each of us chooses for ourselves. If you feel that your religion gives meaning or purpose to your life, or you are comforted by your belief, more power to you. But know that not everyone believes as you do. If there is any universal spiritual truth, I believe it can be summed up by the Golden Rule, and almost every culture has their own version of it.
The stories in the sacred texts of the world's religions don't have to be literally true. I think there may be deeper universal truths about humanity that are revealed through these stories. Truths about parenthood, familial relationships, nurturing, sacrifice, perseverence, courage, standing up to adversity, and what we believe our "ideal" state should be. The same sorts of truths that are revealed in fables and fairytales or the myths of long dead religions. The thing about not believing in the literal truth of these stories, is that it frees you to make up your own mind. I think that's a good thing, but you might disagree with me. Most of my family and friends are religious, and I love them all just fine. I'm not the best basketball player, but I am a good sport. |
|
Yeah...lol...we'll agree to disagree...and don't worry...the basketball "gene" skipped over this black person. Just messing with you on that...I'm actually a baseball person.
|
 |
XD™
|
 |
wow...this turned out to be a mighty fine after school special...good looking design...
|
|
LOL...didn't it though?
|
 |
Great style, great illustration!!! It deserves to be printed, yet I doubt it will at this site ( I've been down this familiar path) - on the plus side - enjoy the comments, and the debate that your quality piece generated- you may have achieved something greater in the dialog! Great work, I hope to see more.
|
 |
I don't care for any Jesus discussion but I do love the design...
Can't say I'd wear it, but it's wondaful |
|
well... hopefully it will get printed...
|

"Science continues to answer more and more of our questions, and religion is getting squeezed into irrelevence." hahaha nice! |

|
 |

This would not be the first Jesus shirt Threadless ever printed, but it would be the best. Bold, simple and strong I'm not christian, but I would definitely wear this.
|
|
Even if you don' buy into the divinity, you could wear it as an example of a man who refuses to comprimise.
