About my design

by mreisel   
Once every five or six Earth years, the Amorphous Longwave Intergalactic Extraterristrial Network sponsors a gigantic event and broadcast it to every single solar system (except The Milky Way). At this sensational event, dozens of astronauts whose dissapearances Earth governments have covered up as “freak training accidental demises” are pitted against one another in epic duels after duel to the death! Xenomorphs from every nook and cranny of the cosmos flock to the illustrious Space capital and witness the pounding punishment for humans polluting other galaxies and being the true space invaders. Some top-tier space celebreties even come down to take in the festivities right up against the ring side!



A Mike Reisel and Frickinawesome spacey smackdown.



A sincere thanks to the Threadless community for all the ideas and suggestions they gave us to further the alien insanity taking place inside the Astro Arena.

Thanks Santo! Congrats on your well-deserved shield. It looks great there next to your name. I hope to be submitting stuff more regularly — real life got in the way and I was working on this piece. I really wanted to do the best that I could for Evan and there are a couple of minor things I would do differently, but overall I'm thrilled with the final piece. Thanks for the kind words Santo and the help with the Flash presentation!

   brainrust on Jan 29 '10
This would make a good poster I reckon, so people could explore the details more at their leisure. I'm another fan of the blue.
Suedy
Suedy on Jan 30 '10
The blue makes it look a bit messy - I like the red. Although if the red had a little more contrast it'd pop a bit more.

mreisel
   mreisel on Feb 03 '10
2.9. I was really hoping for something over a 3, but that's pretty close. Thanks for all the votes and comments. I hope for a print, but we'll see. Thanks again!
rossmat8
rossmat8 on Feb 03 '10
I really don't understand voters. This should've been 3.4 or higher easily. The amount of work and the amazing detail deserved much better. Nothing to sneeze at like Evan said but I just don't get how this is a 2.9 what more do voters want?
mreisel
   mreisel on Feb 03 '10
I couldn't agree more rossmat8. I'm obviously missing something in my designs. Any advice from the community would be great, otherwise, I'll just keep trying my best. Thanks for the support rossmat8! I won't despair, it could still get printed!
davidfromdallas
   davidfromdallas on Feb 03 '10
I, too, agree that this was underscored; however, my take is that just bc a design is insanely detailed and a lot of work went into making it, doesn't, at all, guarantee a high score. Look at Kenny's "The Beholder" or Pakpandir's "Four Horsemen" or Julia and Will's "Eye Eyes You" - all insanely detailed, intricate, and beautiful in their own rights but none scoring higher than a 3.01.



All that said, I do think this is a great design; just with a score attached that we've seen happen time and time again.
mreisel
   mreisel on Feb 03 '10
great points David. Thanks for the support!
FRICKINAWESOME

I don't really care about the score per say, if it gets printed it'll be a thing of the past! lol.
