About my design

by Piranha Petting Zoo   
Inspired by The Used's song "Cut Up Angels", hence the title.



Look at my latest blog for a larger picture.

This is giving me a kind of Kill Bill vibe.



Good art, good placement, but I don't like how she's cut off at the bottom.

Her head seems a little too big for her body, and I don't know about the blood. It looks a little too neat. Still, good design.

i suggest the scisors going vertically instead of horizantle. placed vertically they would resemble wings. (just a thought)

I don't like the used, therefor I don't like most of the entries for this contest, but this one is a very very nice illustration and has a great composistion. 5

I love the illustration, I'd like to see the blood smears a little more sketchy and random.

Great design!

Love the droopy flowers. The dress looks good too.



I agree that her head looks a little too big. I also don't like the red lips.



The blood right behind her is good until it starts to run/drip to the left. (This is me agreeing with eclipz1421). Maybe just cutting of the part off to the left so its more of just the splatter behind her.



Over all I like it.

ugik-munky: I'd answer your question (was that even a question?) if I knew what you were talking about. Please rephrase, prefferably not in caps lock :]

Amazing artwork. Just fix the cut off at the bottom because it looks a little strange. and make it a little smaller. i also like the colors in the background picture better than the one on the shirt. but otherwise, that is some beautiful imagery there .

Blood splatters are completely overused here on Threadless and really wish that it wasn't there

Every body has commented on the fadeout at bottom of pic, curious as to the where abouts of other wing. Great concept love the anime and use of color. Blood splatter is just that, splatter, with no ryme or reason. 5

There is really no other wing. The scissors represent a second wing. Maybe they cut it off and took its place or something, I don't know.

WHY AM I IN LOVE WITH THIS SHIRT?



another color option would make my life 4932049023 times better; I'm not a fan of light blue :(

I really love your illustration, but I would rather you didn't cut off the bottom of her dress. It still rocks though

I love the graphics...i really do. I just wouldn't really wear it around...



But still its very nice work.

DreadQueen on Jul 25 '05
Well I think it's very pretty and would gladly wear it. As for the whole finishing her bottom fiasco, maybe just finish the dress line?

Agency26 on Jul 26 '05
fudgesticks had the same idea when i saw this song title ... but i was going to have a line of angels, a cutting hand, and a stack of cut wings ...

anyhow, you did a nice job, but the blood seems a little heavy ...

The blood disturbs me... and I'm also getting Kill Bill vibes. XD But as for the bride, she's perfect. Great drawing.

i think the color for the t-shirt was a poor choice.

Then what other color I can use for a background? Keep in mind that the shading is the same color as the shirt.

this is at the top of my list for the in love and death theme. she's drawn really well, and the flowers give it just the right amount of color.

I love Cut Up Angels.

Excellent design!! I just don't like the colour of the shirt that much. But nevertheless, it's awesome!

i like this one a lot, but i think the scissors are too big... and i would definately not put legs/feet on her! just fix the hem on the dress somehow. and i'd make the loop of the rope bigger (the one holding her flowers) to make the knot more obvious.

don't like light-blue either, but don't know what colour would be great.

but all-in-all a great design!

I like the boldness of this.

The red does good framing to the rest of the subject.

Hence, I like it.
