I had not seen that Deathwish one before I submitted this last week and it looks like it was posted the same day I sent my submission in. I know better than to rip off someone on threadless anyway. Besides, I'm not that fast...

love the illustration, seriously nice work!

like it on any lighter color, so that you can see the details in lil girl's dress and his robe.

P.S. Interesing responses, seeing what people get from this. I mainly meant it to be hopeful...

Great design job Archangel! My only crit would be to make the illustration smaller - not take up quite that much of the shirt
..ya know?
I def agree with bitterbat about lighter color shirt showing off more detail. Good talent!

Reminds me of the book Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett (my favorite of his novels). Great design :o)

OMG! I love it! $5!

Only suggestion I have is to make the design a bit smaller. Outside of that everything is excellent!

Tomburns is just angry because this one is so much better than his. Sorry, guy, but it is bound to happen that two people have the same idea once in a while. Bummer.

This is one of the best shirts I've seen in a while.
Archangel
   Archangel on Oct 12 '05
Well just for the record, this one is supposed to convey a hopeful idea, and i believe the Deathwish one is saying something completely different. They just have similar characters.

I like the parallel in the flower's
death coming soon because
of the girl picking it as a gift
for Death.
cambert
cambert on Oct 13 '05
It's got to be on the lighter colour to show off the detail. It would be such a waste of talent for that to disappear. $5, with every confidence that this will be printed.

5!
Thickblueink
Thickblueink on Oct 15 '05
i'm glad the characters weren't just snatched and vectorized. thank you so much. i enjoy this concept. however, you could make death kneel and seem to want to take the offering of the girl. i think then you'd have the best design. but as is 5.

THE GRIM REAPER IS SO AWESOME!!!! Good theme and color choices!

Yeah Thickblueink, that could be very cool...I guess I just wanted to leave it more, what's the word... open-ended.

surely you could get the detail from the kakhi on a burgundy shirt?
make death's robe gray like it is on the left, and have the little girl's dress be the shirt color...or add a color, you only used 3 anyway.
detail+burgundy and I bet everyone loves it

The Reaper And The Flowers
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There is a Reaper, whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
And the flowers that grow between.

"Shall I have naught that is fair?" saith he;
"Have naught but the bearded grain?
Though the breath of these flowers is sweet to me,
I will give them all back again."

He gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes,
He kissed their drooping leaves;
It was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.

"My Lord has need of these flowerets gay,"
The Reaper said, and smiled;
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once a child.

"They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear."

And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields of light above.

O, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
'T was an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.

this is so close to perfect! i'd love to see the grim reaper reacting to the girl, like reaching out to take the flower or something.

Are they going to actually print this thing or what? I'm getting antsy. I wish I could keep voting and boost the score. It seems too good to be wasted on just the submission polls. It needs to be printed.
