grayehound on Jan 28 '06 Freakin egg, Rock, that's an awesome bit of linework. This could work on any shirt color with practically any ink. Seriously ranks up there with KID_Z's THREADLESS.
|
 |
Oh rocky you doozy. fantastic
|
 |
perfect
|
 |
stingerstyler on Jan 28 '06 Awesome man. This is a very good execution of the design cliche against design cliche idea. You drew them all in your own distinctive and cool style. Well done man!

ronlewis on Jan 28 '06 sweet, you know you can't win your own comp. 5$
|
 |
funkie fresh on Jan 28 '06 hot hot hot
|
 |
dude.. you have embodied all of threadless in one single design. 5 with a vengeance.
|
 |
Holy shit! This is awesome. If this does not get printed i am going to boycott Threadless. They need to print the designs like this and not the garbage they have been. 5$
|
|
awesome
|
 |
oh wow this is way rad.
|
|
Rocky; this ain't a criticism as such, but i think you should have made it explicit on the actual design that you could fold the tee in order to create the squid.....I'm sure it won't suffere because of this though.......
|
 |
ever thought about submitting something crap to mix it up a little?
|
 |
tesko on Jan 28 '06 it's like a Mad magazine fold up! awsome job on the illustration. I also like the colourway on your profile with the dripping heart underneath
|
 |
that would be funny if you won your own comp. really great
|
 |
you are so good that it's almost illegal. i love this idea.
|
|
flawless!
|
|
where/what is the battle royale anyway?
|
 |
oh man.. this is awesome!
|
 |
Rockslide on Jan 28 '06 YES! ITS A FOLD-IN!!!!!
MATCH THE LITTLE A> to <B!!! Sorry, I actually wanted it to be a little subtle, like a hidden secret, but I understand that it will actually help people score it if they know, so I'll hype it here, hence the all caps flame! When you fold the shirt/design in it forms the cliche king, a giant squid wearing a crown!!! |
|
Rockslide on Jan 28 '06 Genius! The secret fold to find the squid...which is a definate cliche! Love it!!!
|
|
Rockslide on Jan 28 '06 haha, I didn't leave that second comment right there, I forgot that I was logged in on my fiance's laptop and she just entered that comment of support but it looks like I did it myself. Her screen name is heather13.
|
|
I am very embarrassed! Sorry Rockslide...My comment is still the same. This design rocks--regardless of whether or not he is my man!
|
|
this is a great design!!! the colors are awesome too $5
|
 |
i like the black with hot pink best. this shirt has all the funny components of threadless!
ps. did everyone notice howthe shirt folds into a single squid!? thats fantastic |
 |
this is the coolest design ever! its like the little kids pictures that fold up into another whole picture! i love it and would def buy it. i like black and hot pink
|
|

|
|

|
Rocky's having a conversation with himself^
|
 |
girl.guide.gone.bad on Jan 28 '06 just as (and possibly more) awesome than the first time i saw it. the toast just makes it. love it. 5$
|
 |
franx on Jan 28 '06 this is nothing but impressive. awesome job.
|
 |
just awesome
|
 |
Im always happy to see a design that ignores the idea of being simple and goes well over the top. I just hope people take the time to look at it because it is very very nice!
just the fact that you even atempted to make a fold in shirt is amazing, 5 $ |
 |
awesome, I only wish the fold in had been designed the other way (with horizontal fold lines instead of verticle) so you could fold it up and show it off WHILE you are wearing it.
but yeah, i guess this was is more traditional. |
 |
I LOVe it escpecially if it were on another color.
$5 |
 |
i love designs like this with a lot going on, nicely done.
$5 - fo sho. |
 |
i hate how ive been giving most of the battle royal designs 4s and 5s and 5 and buys....
hmm... would i buy this.... i think i would. 5+$ |
 |
Holy crap! A fold in, that's too great. Instantly brings me back to a simpler time, when MAD magazine was about the funniest thing there was. Al Jaffee!
|
 |
Mr Rocks on Jan 29 '06 Hot man. Just too hot.....sigh..... $5
|
 |
bad_nobe on Jan 29 '06 genius!i love this design.i wish that people wouldnt say this is so busy, because this is really an awesome design!a winner.
|
 |
awesome! $5
i like this color but i like the the black & hotpink or black w/ heart better |
|
FANTASTIC!!!
|
|
I love this shirt!! 5$
|
|
Rocky: You do realise that this is a must-printl simply because it will be the first shirt in Threadless history to have a secret "fold-in to reveal the king" mechanism!
Next time i'm gonna have a design that moves when you look at it and changes colour depending on your mood. |
 |
very clever, very well drawn. It looks real good as just a 1 color.
|
 |
wow...thats a fivemoney!

DeadPoetic_Underoath on Jan 30 '06 5$

 |
this is far kingtastic
|
 |
what's with all the battle royale shirts? this is the 4th one ive seen today...
|
 |
Rock Deputy on Jan 30 '06 that's awesome! this Battle Royale is going to be hard to win...
|
|
Those looks like the bread monsters from the Nordmarks!
|
|
Rockslide on Jan 30 '06 Hey thanks everyone! As always, I had a lot of fun with this. I wanted to really represent the feel of threadless, chaotic, fun, melting pot of styles and ideas, with an original twist. Threadless is a constant battle royale. That's what makes it so much fun. Thanks for all the comments and support.
|
 |
MrDomino on Jan 30 '06 Fantastic work Rockslide. I'm sorry I missed out on the Battle Royale sub-comp, there's been some fantastic work submitted. It's going to be a tough judge to say who's the king.
|
 |
The giraffe sells the shirt. I love it :)
|
|
definitely one of the best shirts i've seen.
and the fold in value... me and my history of Mad Magazine love you. and salute you. $5 |
|
why isn't your communist shirt printed? I'm in love with it and very sad right now.
|
 |
eskimokiss on Jan 31 '06 I Love mad magazine fold-ins!!
Great idea, very nice illustration. It's clear alot of time has gone into this. Well Done! |
 |
ok, so i just tested the fold-inness in paint, and that's just bloody amazing. how do you plan something like that? g'jorb all around
|
|
Rockslide on Jan 31 '06 I actually started with the fold-in drawing and worked backwards. I folded a piece of paper over, did the squid drawing, unfolded it and drew in the rest. It was a fun little experiment, you should try it sometime. It will really entertain the kids!
|
 |
Needs more cowbell.
$5 |
 |
This is terrible. Why don't you throw some more crap on top of that trash heap you call a drawing? Its a shame that you spent so much time on it and that you obviously think that you are great. Quit blogging and get a life.
|
|
^^^Hardly constructive
This shirt design is awesome no matter how many ways you fold it! 5ers all the way. |
|
Rockslide on Feb 02 '06 theequalizer- seriously, I haven't laughed so hard in quite some time. That's the first bad comment I've received in all my time here, which isn't too long mind you, but still. It was fun and original. I have an idea of who you are. Anyways, post a couple subs of your own so I can see the light, haha. Really, thanks for the honest criticism.
Long time no see westy. I hope life's been treating you well. Thanks for the comments. |
|
Keep laughing all the way to the starving artist painting sale at the convention center, you hack.
|
|
Rockslide on Feb 03 '06 haha, that isn't Peter is it? Wouldn't that be cool to be the guy who painted all those cheap prints at those convention sales. I mean really, your painting would be on the walls of trailer parks across the country. That would be pretty cool. That and designing a cereal box. That would be fun, every morning millions would stare at your cereal box.
|
 |
wow, boys... take a deep breath. the design is beautiful, and brilliant and it may be the first threadless shirt i would actually by. congrats, man... it's really lovely

I wanted to create a piece for the competition that captured the spirit of what a battle royale is, utter chaos, you never know what will happen next, and there's always a surprise twist at the end.
I hope this piece is all that. I wanted it to be an explosion on the shirt combining elements of all the threadless cliches, such as robot ninja vs. panda pirate and luchador penguin, and super emo girl head, and facet heart factory cloud station-haha, just to name a few. I wanted there to always be something new to see, the more you look, the more you find. And.....
Did someone say surprise twist ending?
-fold in A> to <B to see who is crowned threadless cliche king!!!!!!!
