A tribute to the late Evel Knievel

I'd love some feedback, this is my first submission.

Many thanks

I like it but I'm not really getting the sense of depth for some reason. It took me a sec to figure out that the ramp was going back in the distance and that was a ring of fire. Also it may look better on a different color shirt so the fire is more visible.

reminds me of crazy monkey ball

cute concept, but at first glance I thought the hamster was in
the path of a fiery ball

I would prefer seeing a side view of the hamster in mid jump
heading toward a landing ramp while going through a
flaming ring that is placed half way between the ramps.
More action!

okay. i thought it was a fuse and that the hampster ball was going to go flying when the box exploded. that being said, i like the idea, but as people have said, perspective should maybe be different. add depth / shadows!

here's a design that has the layout I like

I like it even if it is a fiery ball about to hit a hamster
either way it works for me.

The idea of a evil knieval hamster in a plastic
ball is brilliant.

Raphe10 on Mar 22 '08

i the lines are a tad thick

FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 22 '08

Maybe with more of an Evil Kneival helmet, or riding a motorcycle in the hamster ball. Such a funny idea and the thumbs up and expression is frigging priceless....maybe having the ramp end much sooner to show he has a chance to get over the other flaming ball? Still, pretty amazing.

SandersUK on Mar 22 '08

Im guessing its a flaming hoop and not another ball!

Dont hink the lines are too think. adds to the style of the design.

I like!

twentysiix on Mar 22 '08

the ramp is not steep enough. and put the ring of fire up on a post or something, and make the ring a lot bigger. cute idea though :)

turbolucy on Mar 23 '08

definitely put the fire ring on a stand because i thought it was a ball, also. add depth to ramp and ring and you have a winning combo!

Quadlex on Mar 24 '08

I really like your art style and the concept, but depth might help a wee bit... And then if they make it, I'll buy it ^_^

sezwilson on Mar 24 '08

I think its a pretty cool design!

Lithiumhearts on Mar 24 '08

The depth is ... strange.
The art is great though.

mesmerdesu on Mar 24 '08

i think they hamster is adorable
but i agree about the thick lines and the depth, and i like "helo"s comment about the layout

(:

Ha! funny.

eXnWhY on Mar 25 '08

perhaps elaborate more on the ball of fire?

choc_tpot on Mar 25 '08

Erm... It's a hamster ball... jumping through a ring of fire... so its gonna be a great ball of fire.
I'm surprised some people see it as a ball on fire. I originally had shadows, the ring on a stand etc etc, but I took it all out to keep it down to bare bones. I accept the comments on the perspective. It could have had a more obvious vanishing point.

generalcabbage on Mar 25 '08

i get it and like it.
the fire ring could use some work tho

Bio-bot 9000 on Mar 26 '08

good potential, needs work. try the Critiques next time for better feedback.
YAY!

if you had the ring on a stand like in the movies it would look more like a ring of fire, rather than a ball on fire

its still a good idea!
add the stand for the ring and id buy it

Hahah, yes, I would definitely wear this.

Cute hamster, nice expression, but yes, the ring could have been more obvious. If I could vote, I'd give it a 5$.
