OK....after many comments about fitting the text and embossing....here. I too, think this is a much better look to the idea. Thanks again for the comments regarding \"Bullet II\". Here is Buletz v.3.0

ok, I feel bad for saying this cause you have definately taken this bullet idea and fuckin' run with it, but something looks kind of funny.
Your text on the bullet looks great, but there is one bullet left unused and two shell casings that are empty. Why are they empty?

Are they being made or are you infering that they've already been shot? The empty casings look so pristine that you would never know it, theres no powder residue on the edge of the casings or even some smoke coming out of them if they were just fired.
If they have just been shot then why would one bullet that was'nt be next to them, presumably on the ground. I guess I liked it better when all the casings still had bullets in them but it still looks good.

damn it, I just saw the older design and it also only had one unused bullet...WTF man! lol

yeah..... thats my embarassing legacy of the over used bullet.. I feel I'm going to shoot myself inthe foot (no pun intended). The red one was my very first one, the blue one was a afterthought...and this one was full polanning and consideration of the suggestions I felt I wanted to listen to. I did the engraving, I did teh text over horiz... but I'm n ot changing my model. I'd have to open Wings and redo the entire model from scratch...not really waht I want to do. I felt that by having the empty shells it makes it less of the thermos, and has the underlying statement of - "and Im not afradi to use it"...could be applied to phrases like "shooting off at the mouth" and other such play on words...

With this one, try to look at it as more than just a bullet or the cliched` phrase, but all the different play on words you can use.

I think the comment "too cliche` is over used in the wrong way and that saying it, tells me that you havea limited vocabulary along side poor vernacular.

This is the LAST version of this shirt. Once again I apologize for making you sit through 3 of them, but at least you saw a work in progress.. I know I cant please everyone, so if you are going to sit and say "seen it", its dead, stop"... I it just means you didnt read THIS comment because it is teh last bullet with your name on it I'm doing...

it's not bad but i think the line work needs to either be thicker or taken out, as it is I don't imagine it printing well with such fine black lines.
This is definately an improvement over your previous takes on the idea.

Ok.... Miura SV:

First dont feel bad for asking, you wont know if you dont ask.

While the casings have been used, it could also be looked as if they havent been packed for use yet too.

It can be approcahed from two angles. For the angle of perfect explanation - which you'd like to view it as...they have not been packed. Interprate that into the idea of that there is more than one person who you'd like to shoot off at the mouth to (or wahtever you want to do with bullets).

If you approach it with the main idea of an illustration of "Bullet with you name on it, then the empty shells are the ones you ahve used stating you arent afraid to do it again.

...either way, I really only used the empty casings to give the image dimension and depth, also to create a point of visual reference. It keeps it from just "floating about". If I had capped the two shells, then the question would be "why dont the other two rounds have text?"...if I added the text to all three...then the "BULLET (singular) WITH YOUR NAME ON IT", would be lost.

If you want to see the model OF these bullets check out my profile page.

bullet casings don't get much residue anyhow.
nice

ej ronin on Apr 07 '05
this is true...its ben my experience that they dont. Oddly, your target usually gets pretty messy though.

this is much better. It's placed a little high though. good work.

I think, maybe, it should say, "Your Name Here".

Just a thought.

I hate every single one of these submissions.........I'm sorry, but I do. I'm getting really sick of having to repeatedly give these submissions zeros. I really don't think it's ever gonna be printed. Please move on to another design.

ej ronin on Apr 09 '05
yeah... just as tired as I am of soeone who didnt read WHY there are three
ej ronin
ej ronin on Apr 09 '05
I respect your opinion though. I get tired of seeing this too...rock on

woah. i thoguht this was like: grey fucking lipstick. at first.
ej ronin
ej ronin on Apr 09 '05
yes, becuase it makes sense with empty lipsticks around it, in a typical bulletesque fashion

ej ronin on Apr 11 '05
Even though there may be some of you who HATE seeing this again and again...rest assured Im nto redoing it, and I relly HOPE this does go to print. I think its a pretty unique idea as far as the illustration. SUre the phrase is a little cliche, but the fact that some of you are puzzled as to what it really means, leads me to believe not so much.

i agree with some of the other comments
i think the bullets are placed a little too high on the shirt
beyond that it looks cool

ej ronin on Apr 12 '05
JULAIN - learn to count.... its four

GREY
BLACK
OCRE
MUSTARD
1, 2, 3, 4...say it with me

Modern Visionary - um, are you grading on the concept, originality, and presentation, or the fact that it was "easy". btw, obviously you didnt look at my profile page n this one.

Hongkongphooey, yes its a much better thermos, but its still the "thermos of impending doom"

nettsu - maybe... but lowering it is something, if it gets printed is something I will do or tell them to do

ej ronin on Apr 12 '05
oh and julian, its helps to read the comments that came before you, I already said I was ad gave many reasons on why there are three...someoen needs a nap.

did you get the idea from the website for the movie SAW? i have seen it there........
ej ronin
ej ronin on Apr 12 '05
no actually I have had this iea stuck in my head... the reviews of SAW kept me from seeing it and I dont o to movie websites, its a waste of domain space...as far as I can tell its original

good job on this one... i would rather the font look more like "Your name" is scratched in as i suggested before... but i like the whole concept a lot. again good job.
ej ronin
ej ronin on Apr 12 '05
I played with trying to get it "scratched in" and that was messy"....so I reverted to the engraving...thanks
