empiricist on Jun 12 '08 At first I thought that the patch of cloth smashed the flower, but now I get it. Very cool style and colors!!
|
 |
It's so sad..... I don't think I could wear it.
|
 |
While I KNOW that its supposed to be a sheet covering the "dead" dandelion - that doesn't stop me from thinking (and probably most passers-by) that its a popsicle.
I think it'd be cooler without the sheet. Maybe a little skull at the end of the stem! |
 |
Rather than covering the dead, it would of been nice to see a imprint of a show or boot...like seamus said the dandelion does kind of look like a popsicle.
Kind of looks unfinished. but I like the idea though! |
 |
The sheet over the dead one is confusing, at first I thought it was a square dandelion, which was kinda weird.. love the concept though.
|
 |
mmmm, dandelion popsicle.
|
 |
Chalk outline with 2 dandelion detectives?
|
 |
Wowza. I guess I needed to make it a tad more clear.
Without the blanket, the idea is too simple (and gross). The jump to "dandelion popscicle" would seem to take more imagination than a dandelion under a blanket. Oh, well. Thanks for the comments : ). |
|
Hey, this is a solid concept, you got skills 4 sure. And I really like "Thinking Green" too. Keep it up!
|
|
Thanks applegary. I was excited about this one - the avalanche of questions had me on the defensive.
I'll hit a home run - just got to keep trying... |
 |
I really like the style, and I would love a little skull at the end of a stem :P
|
 |
I must have a fantastic imagination because I'm among those who see a popsicle instead of a flower stem covered by a sheet. I still love your style ever so much, the still-living dandelions are amazing and I adore the colors. The concept is great, just work on executing the idea in a more clear fashion.
|

i found this hilarious with how the dad gets angry out of love its comical if you think about it for a moment
|
|
You could try putting a "red" cross on the blanket.
I think that would make it pretty evident that we're looking at a death scene. A suggestion of context with grass blades next to the "parents" may also help...? I love the way the top of the seeds are drawn, really pretty and goes along with the almost country feel of the drawing and color choices. Keep it up! |
 |
I don't like the blanket
leave an empty stem |
|
LOVE IT!
|
 |
isn't that the way they reproduce though?
|
|
@bodie chewning: Out of death comes rebirth. It's the circle of ... : )
|
|
i couldn't tell what the blanket was. square dandelion? i don't like the skull idea that has been mentioned one bit. i really like what you did here, except for the confusion with the blanket. but aside from that i'm a fan, and i plan to rate it highly!
|
 |
I love the faces on the dandelions... very cute
|
|
i think it would be better without the sheet too.
i thought it was a square dendelion for a while and i got confused i really like everything else though! |
 |
Dead dandelions are funny.
|
 |
Love the shirt! Didn't get the sheet until I read some comments, though. :\ Hope it eventually comes through!
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 14 '08 Dangit, I've got a dandelion collab coming out!! GAHHHH! O well, just know we weren't copying off you when you see it! lol.
|
 |
Sexy design.
|
 |
I really like the idea, and the point of it, but the "death of the child dandelions" wasn't really obvious. but i still like it.
|
|
you know...looking at the comments...maybe because of the "blanket" it was a bit confusing. But maybe if the blanket was a leaf??? Perhaps it would come across a little clearer, cuz once you make the dandelions real people, logic starts working in ppls heads, like, where are dandelions gonna get a blanket... erm, i'm not being mean just writing out my thoughts. I love the design though and the colors are so touching :)
|
 |
Chengui on Jun 15 '08 I didn't see it as a shirt either. But I like the design. Maybe if you had the cause of the death on there somehow.
|
|
Chengui on Jun 15 '08 Sorry, as a "sheet" not shirt. That was confusing.
|
 |
well-illustrated for sure...i'm surprised no one's commented on how kick-ass that moustache is, so i'm going to go ahead and do it on behalf of everyone. kick-ass moustache, good sir. my only recommendation is to make it all bigger so those great details are easy to see. and maybe if the dead dandelion's stem was bent or twisted it would read less like a popsicle stick (for those who see it that way).
|
 |
Not to jump on the bandwagon, but I, too, was terribly confused by the blanket. I don't know about a skull- a simple empty dandelion head would do it, I think
|
|
Finally some love for the mustache. I think I may alter the design some and see what happens.... Thanks for the comments all.
|
|
the blanket threw me off too. thought it was a picket sign lol. i think the skull idea could work, the cross on the blanket could work, the chalk outline with maybe some police tape could work so experiment and see what happens. i love the mustache too! i think this design is great once you fix the blanket!
|
 |
I think the chalk outline would work well, especially if you had chalk outlines of the seedlets scattered across the ground as well.
|
|
blown away? really? cause i wasnt. at all... go back to finger painting.
|
|
Wowza. Thanks for the kind words fooleyfoley.
