flying hippo! Aah I love this idea. I would like it even more if it were done a bit differently (the foremost foot seems too big and his chin seems to be shaped funny (but I don't know hippos that well) ) but I'll still give you 4 and $.

Great sketch! Nice colours! If this shouldn't win this time, refine it and resubmit.

This is like a cross between Southbound Pachyderm and that flying dragon thing from a Never Ending story.

It's a little too scribbly/scratch art for me anyway.

It's a good start. I agree with the others: clean it up a bit and resubmit.

definitely refine it. i think i know what kind of look your going for but its not working, your lines are to chaotic and have no confidence to them, theyre really sloppy and have no direction it looks like you sketch it out really fast on the computer using a mouse, for something thats suppose to be flying it doesnt really have any motion to it. the coloring job is sloppy to. tips

-practice line weight in your drawings

-practice sketching

-practice foreshortening

-use reference

the colours seem to take away from the sketch.. were it white sketch on a black shirt without the colours it'd be fine, but if you want to include colours on it, definently clean up both the colours and drawing. that aside, awesome concept.

no, no this is a cool shirt. you have to think about what it would look like on someone, say, walking past you on the street.

beautifulmind on Aug 13 '05
you'd think, man that's a nice my little pony they've got on that shirt there.

I love it but the hippo just looks like a blob, you might want to sharpen that a little.
