ha, this is beautiful. the style is so expressive and looks more intentional than just bad. it's a hard thing to pull off illustrations that look so "childish" but still maintain a design ethic of sophistication. I love it.

like it alot. The speech bubbles are cool, Is he talkin about his love of dead goats?

They look like the guy form homestarrunner!

someone needs to make a gary and ace shirt...i'm just waiting.

i love the speech bubbles.
i want a shirt only with a lot of these speech bubbles.

this is great. mexican wrestlers and a mythical beast...4 and a buy

i'm a sucker for mexican wrestlers

The only thing I'd consider changing about this is possibly making the expression on the face of the wrestler on the left more "cartooney" - it seems a little too stern right now.

That aside, this is an awesome design. I would definitely consider buying it.

I just want the speech bubbles! Great illustration though. The Wrestlers arn't my cup of tea, but i can see why people would like this.

Thanks for all the great comments guys! Your suggestions are duely noted. As for the popularity of the speech bubbles, I was actually considering doing a shirt just about the bubbles even before I posted this. Anyway, I'm working on a few versions now, maybe I'll put one up soon.

dang this is a nice shirt, I'd buy it

Yeah, this is pretty well done. Simple and interesting.

The moment I saw this I gasped....good god this is cool.
One small observation: The orange wrestler's right arm could either be connected or moved closer to the shoulder.
FIVE!

Very nice - like the style :]

this is awesome, i'd buy

Intentional style and homestarrunner comments = i'm in compliance with.
colors chosen well.

Again, thanks for all the supportive comments guys. This is a much more positive reaction than I ever expected. scs3000, I think I agree with you. If this is actually selected for printing (knock on wood) I think I will either move the arm slightly closer or extend the lines of the arm so they are closer.

As for the comments about the similarities to Strongbad of Homestar Runner, isn't Strongbad supposed to be based off a Mexican wrestler? And these guys are charicatures of Mexican wrestlers so don't worry, we're both just drawing from the same inspirational source, it's not like I'm ripping off Homestar Runner.

ohhhhhhh i LOVE the illustration!!!! you nned to get yourself a website boy-o

I'd love the text bubbles by themselves

nice original work

i love it.

Luchaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaran. wasn't it a cartoon? Mucha lucha? The Flee!! ring a bell? unos, dos, tres, out!

Aw man... I typed up an entry using the word "exsanguination" but forgot to hit submit. I like it.

<3

this shirt rocks

i think the shirt would be great with just the thought bubble in the middle.

love

awesome. great colors

very nice. My only thought is that with an arguably stylized drawing, using arguably stylized colors doesn't contrast enough and looks cheesy; though I love the colors, so I don't know...

p.s. I like all of your other designs; I missed 'em, but they'd've been voted high. << fresh double conjunction

im back to comment again coz i love this so much.....dude!!!

love the colours. love. love.

maybe i'm a sucker for mexican wrestlers and references to mythological beasts,
but you got my first 5 in a long string of meh's.

also, could stand to move the arm a bit closer. but i kind of like how its disconnected.

Again, thanks so much to everyone who took the time to comment! To say that this number of positive reactions was a pleasant surprise would be an understatement. The few suggestions I got I think were mostly on the mark and on the chance that this gets chosen to be printed I'll make a couple minor changes such as moving the arm a little closer. Anyway, I've got some new designs I think I'll submit after this round is done. One is a shirt with just a bunch of speech bubbles as I had planned to do and as a number of you had suggested. So keep your eye out and I hope you enjoy. Once again, thanks to everyone who commented!
