About my design

by Robsoul   
I'm not going to be drawing wood grain again for quite a while... I hope! Check my profile for the process. The gold foil version might look great on chocolate or burgundy as well. Yes, that is my take on the famous Trojan Horse from Virgil's Latin epic poem The Aeneid.

Gold on dark (I'm feelin' a brown over the black, tho) for sure. Waaaay more impact

This is superb! I confess I'm not a big fan of gold foil though. Just a yellow horse on brown would be awesome. 5$

There seem to be a huge influx of horse subs lately and amarillo (?) did a great Trojan Horse sub that just finished scoring. I feel like I'm not bringing anything new to Threadless but this sub took some work and I appreciate the great feedback. It could have really had an opposite reaction for the reasons I'd mentioned before, so thanks everyone.



If this were printed large, I'd suggest no gold foil (technically it wouldn't be possible), just a discharge with an amber ink on black.

Fabbo job here man, love the pieces of the horse flying off. I feel it's a different take from any Trojan Horse sub i've seen, and all the better for it. Gold foil please, I'll sport me some Trojan Bling!

Dude, why are you commenting in my submissions? Ironically, it's actually your selfish intention to spam people to get comments on critique. I have asked you not to do it.

i like the black on coral.. need more shirts printed on reds and colours.. instead of black, grays, creams and browns..



would look pretty sweet with gold foil on slate/dark grey instead of black
