The Forest Hoodlums
About the design
on April 13, 2008
Red Riding Hoodlum, a terror child,
Bag of mischief by her side,
Causing chaos throughout the wild,
Behind bushes the forest life hide,
Robin Hoodlum, the Sherwood bully,
Ventures around the land,
The forest animals hated him fully,
With bow and arrow in hand,
The forest life gathered late one night,
While the Hoodlums slept,
They decided to unite,
A plan for revenge set,
As the Hoodlums ran down the trail,
Destruction left behind,
The animals tripped them with their tales,
And played other tricks that were unkind,
The Hoodlums promised to change their ways,
And let the forest rest,
The dawn of a brand new day,
And a change for the best.
Another Fairy Tale ending.
Red Riding Hoodlum for girls, Robin Hoodlum for guys.

Both drawings are really, really great... BUT the humor is somewhat lost because the "hoodlum" aspect is so subtle. I'd rather they have some kind of gang attire to make it more obvious.

I forgot to mention that the image changes every 4 seconds

Great drawings.
chelly
put both on one shirt instead of assuming that guys will like this and girls will like that. i can't give one score to two designs.

Man this is such an awesome design, the idea of two tees with the similar theme is really original and a great idea - especially in a world of copy cat designs!! $5 - for original thought and great design!!
laser101
...also love the comradery and irreverence....huaaa
dStiles
hey cool. love the bold design $5

I agree with chelly, this should either be on two separate submissions, or both on the same shirt.
but having said that, I think the illustrations are very good.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions so far.
When submitting this, I did wonder if I should submit under two separate designs, but I wasn't sure if people would get the connection between the two designs/set - Also was not sure if guys would want to wear something with Red Riding Hoodlum on it and vice versa. I was aiming for something a little different from what's already been done on Threadless.
Having both characters from different eras on the same shirt seemed a little confusing visually. There are a few subtle differences on both shirt options too, to fit in with the respective characters.

very original idea! i think I like this better with the two different options between guys and girls. of course i'm going for robin! a stand out design 5$
designbyag
awesome! 5$

$5
jstumpenhorst
awesome!! i think this works as two separate designs actually! they could release this in the same way that they released Pilihp's 2 designs in one week and give the buyer an option. nice work!
EricDiaz
nice!
mischa22s
What!! What!! - nice work, 5$!!

Cool. Original.

I don't care that they don't look like hoodlums. I think having their stereotypical attire in the setting makes the concept & appearance better. I really want to wear the Riding Hood shirt, like a LOT. $5
ChaosbyDesign
These are both very well executed designs, great idea and I don't see any problem with two seperate designs as the same entry coz i wouldn't wear the red riding hood one but love the design for the guys.
Maybe if you replaced the characters with toasters and made the trees into kangaroos it would be better....!

print immediately. do not wait. excellent! $5

Like has already been stated, two diff subs are needed for two diff designs or put both on the same shirt. Either way, both are awesome.
lyssie
why two different prints for certain genders submit both seperately
strongstuff
fantastic style. $5
Kate Gorgeous
i rather like the idea of there being a design for females and males. i think that the concept is very original and unique, totally different from the other submissions. it's a standout and i reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaally want to see this printed
cesared
Yes, i like it because despite the children theme its appealing design makes it attractive for adults to wear, well done!
shorter

Narztar
