the bulging leather crotches disturb me. But the figures are very well drawn! I could see this concept as a nice painting, but not as a shirt. 3.

note to self: people make a b-line for the package.

As their masks do not hide faces, I don't think it is tenable to assume that their short pants hide conventional packages. Could it be savage genitalia, perhaps? Or maybe just water balloons. Regardless, people will look at you if you put this shirt on in the morning, and isn't that the essential point to this whole Threadless thing?

That’s freakin' weird! I love it! I think the guys should be smaller though, and in the bottom right corner. Nice illustration! Also, I like the bulges. Real men have penises and they are proud of them.

I would like the guys lower bodies not to be mirror images. It looks lazy.

this should be left on paper alone. never for shirt printing. good skills, though.

thank you stealyourface! i have a lot to say about this but i won't, because i'd rather hear what everyone has to say.



the lower bodies are not exactly mirrored, they were drawn twice off the same sketch, but if you can't tell then they might as well be mirrored, so: point taken.



more comments! i want to hear them all!

It's really well done, you can draw well...rare for this site -- I like the contrast between the mask and the scull underneath. Yeah, a little smaller, or closer together? I like the idea of it being over-sized though.

Great drawing. I even like the buldges.



Reminds me of the Mask Shop Guy from Zelda.

so, in the original drawing they are nude, because my figures are usually nude, but i put little pants on these guys because i knew that threadless would never go for a couple guys with their wangs hangin out. and yet, even so, there's a fixation on the unit.



i understand it in one way and then i am confused. even the suggestion of the pork and beans draws a reaction, so much so that it changes the meaning of the shirt. it becomes the focal point. i didn't emphasize them in any way. that's what a guy looks like, in little pants.



anyway, i don't take it personally. but i'm not going to change it.

keep the colors as they are. it really intensifies the freaky feeling I get, which is what appeals to me the most when I look at this. but yes, I agree that the graphic should be slightly smaller. (when I say graphic, i mean the thing as a whole, not the packages.)



i love it, but i wouldn't buy it (because it just kind of scares me).

I fucking love it. 5 and $. It won't make it though, because people are too afraid of a little bulge. It's quite stupid, actually. The people's fear, I mean. I think you should just resubmit it with less of a bulge if it doesn't make it. That way it might and I might be able to buy it, because it kicks ass.

I think I get what your trying to convey....I have a similar outlook , that everyone hides who they really are behind assumed fallacies and fronts.... but anyways keep the size just readjust the location to bottom left or right with maybe a complimenting doodle or scribble on the opposing shoulder.....but that;s just meh...:-D

To tell you the truth, the mankini kind of adds to the shirt.



I dig it.

I think the image may have been stronger if you had just used the guy on the left. The pink cheery face is freaky enough on the blue body. The crotch doesn't bother me at all. Maybe ppl are phsyched out about the way the doods are thrusting their crotches in towards each other . . . not that there's anything wrong with that . . .



Are those sperms eminating from his mask???

I LOVE THIS!!!! 5 AND BUY FOR SURE! this is the perfect shirt for threadless. contraversial and differnt and good art for once and the best design i've seen in a long time here. and DONT change the colors! they make it even better. make more shirts, if they're half as good as this you can count on a buy from me!!

Its great for a couple of reasons. One, its drawn well. Two, the colours are great and three, it makes you look twice. God damn it, its portraying an idea thats not blantantly in your face and it holds you interest. If only more submissions showed such skill and imagination. Note to myself....must try harder next submission. 5 and $

I'm loving this-- the message, the weirdness, AND the packages. If it would be just a bit smaller, I'd buy it in a snap. Excellent work!

I love it. The tuft of hair on the back of the skull and the hole in the forehead adds to the imperfection of reality. keep the image big and centered. it's classic and will never go out of style

Hmm, I think you've accidentally (or intentionally) touched on something about society that quite frankly makes me want to throw up all over my shoes:



1.) The hint of Wang mysteriously frightens people.

2.) The Wang shrouded by Little Pants is also threatening.

3.) People often miss the point.

4.) A small fraction of the mistaken have lazy eye.

5.) Perception and enjoyment of color is inconsistent accross the population especially when applied to graphics and textiles.



The design rules, although the size and placement of the graphic does seem to Overstate it. A slightly smaller graphic might make it feel a bit more wearable. Breaking up the figures to front and back would in theory accomplish the same thing, but then that might obscure the point?



nice work.
