About my design

by Ian Leino   
Asterion is the proper name for the creature that came to be known as the Minotaur. Born as a punishment for his father's disobedience and locked away to contain his fury, he has given up on acceptance and seeks only escape.



Solution to the maze is in hoofprints leading out from the center, and could be printed in UV ink or red foil.

Man, if this cat goes to the Prison Break jail, people are gonna be so mad suspicious! Amazing re-telling of the minotaur legend, really amazing details abound on his intense-looking body, and i love the slight use of UV ink idea as well. Not to mention i love labyrinths.



5$

the thing at the end of the maze looks like a compass, which is ironic in that a compass would've been helpful in reaching the end of the maze.



just an observation though, not to be taken seriously.

i do wish that the body would have as much attention to detail as the head though. still awesome.

If I may, I think the red foil might uber-awesome this more than UV would... I think the solution, if you will, is too integral to the design to only have it show up in sunlight.

lizzyloowho on Mar 08 '09
Agreed. Red foil would be better than UV. Awesome Design

RED FOIL. Totally. Love it.

But something else should be red too to match the maze, doesn't have to be though. Maybe the eyes?

5!

Fantastic! Please consider printing this in kids' sizes as well! Also you should do more characters from Greek mythology as that would be super awesome :)
