About my design
by Ian Leino   
I think that this design has probably taken more time that anything that I've submitted since "A Voyage of Discovery", starting with the research into feudal Japanese architecture and samurai costumes. I had lots of fun working on it, and I hope that you enjoy it, too. Five colors on a silver shirt.

LOTS of thanks to Phil for the help and translations, Graye for making the flash submission and Aaron for the general advice.

I'm all for Japanese in everyway, but this time it seems a bit abundant. At least the title. Love the idea though. 5

Hahaha. And it did! I'm not usually a texthater but I think that the design speaks alot for itself. The kanji sort of takes away from it, I think. The drawings are brilliant.

I think the big Kanji on the top detracts from it because it's not the same style as the rest, but this is great

pretty awesome... once you look at it for a while you begin to realize how intricate this design is... my only thought is that the pigs may look better slightly colored or in a lighter or darker shade to give them more focus

littleclyde
   littleclyde on May 28 '08
I find the text well done, but I think the size of the headline detracts a big from the awesomeness of the illustration and makes it look too much like packaging. Maybe you were going for that though? Still, it's amazing all the same!

illdthedj on May 28 '08
really funny and awesome!

BUT to be super ultra picky, i agree with a comment mentioned above:
the big kanji at top is sort of 3-d looking, while the small kanji looks 2-d and sort of comic book/manga-ish...

maybe make the big kanji on top look like the small kanji?

whatever, maybe im wrong, either way, awesome design! it would be cool if it came with the ninja head garb lol

SPIZZERINCTUM
SPIZZERINCTUM on May 30 '08
THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!! I LOVE it, but then again I also love anything of Japanese orientation ^_^. I'm not sure on my feelings of the kanji though, I think you should lose the descriptions of each house and just keep the title.
CLEEVNUTZ
CLEEVNUTZ on May 31 '08
The color of the title gets blended into the image a little too much. Minor
Everyone who says to keep the descriptions..... please don't listen to them. I don't everyone coming up to me saying that they obviously know that the house is made of bricks when I wear it!!
