Dexter Spandex

About my design

by Dexter Spandex
Me (boy on left): "I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal. "

My big brother (boy on right): "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die! "

We were also both Vikings.

1987. True story.

Oh man, so simple but endlessly nostalgic take on childhood imagination. Maybe a little bigger on the tee, but i don't mind the restrained size.

thanks guys!

Yeah, it does need to be a bit bigger - have a look here at it on EMPTEES, much better size.

Akiga: I know Inigo Montoya didn't have pigtails. Connor Macleod didn't have a giant viking helmet either. But in my childhood, somedays Luke Skywalker was also a cowboy.

Awesome design! I like the way the characters are now, but it might also be cool to make either the shadows larger, or the people larger, if not both, to give it just a little more presence. Otherwise, very very well done! :c)

For me, I think the concept is pretty overdone, and your execution is quite plain. I've seen it plenty times before, not least on Threadless.

Here's an example of similar - normal-life--with-cooler-imaginary-scenario-projection style design, but imo more exciting:

http://www.threadless.com/submission/184872/The_Online_Me

There are definitely a few more, but I can't remember their names.

Anyway, my crit would be to put a twist on the scene somehow, make it original. How exactly you would do that, I don't know yet, but I'm sure you could think of something.

thanks Staffell, I appreciate your honesty. I'd not seen that Hogboy design before - it's awesome. Shame I missed it cos i'd have instant 5$ it. I think mine is different, gentler, more about childhood imagination, although I agree Hogboy's execution makes mine look a bit plain.

Hogboy's one depicts a gamer who wishes he was badass / is seeing life through a medieval game. This is far different and goes much better with childhood imagination. Since having a video game depict your life is far from imaginative haha : )

Izard - that's why I used the generic tag "normal-life--with-cooler-imaginary-scenario-projection style design"

I also mentioned other examples of similar designs, which I couldn't find, but there are definitely some/ at least one with the identical concept as this.

But it doesn't matter now, good luck to this design, great score! :)
