About my design
by proletarian   
This is based off my first submission for threadless. I wanted to take it a step further and draw the soldiers in the art style of their time period.

Sorry, no nazi this time.

Nice. I'd like to see a larger version of the Dark shirt to see how you handled the details on that one because I like how it looks from a far but I just want to see if it looks inverted or not.

Wonderful art. I really like this, and I'll buy it, but I'd like it more if there was some... pattern? Sense? to what the folks are doing. As it is, they look a little chaotic.
$4

The second plane from the top, flip it horitontally and I think it will improve. Besides that, lovvvve it! Buy it!

The different characters don't look like
they are reacting to their environment.

The Egyptian isn't reacting to anything.
The samurai is focused on something near
the ground which we can't see. The knight
is focused on something in the air which
we can't see. The trenchcoat soldier seems
to be focused on the back of the knight's leg.

All of this is happening without any
of the characters giving attention to the
nuclear explosion in the background.

Cubfan on Apr 18 '06
I like the colors and each character is drawn really,really well. It's a little too blobbed together though. Everything could be arranged a bit better, in my opinion.

I can't believe how nitpicky people are being! This is a really cool design and I like the whole "art of war" pun. PRINT!

RKTR on Apr 19 '06
A cool thing to do might have been to have the nuclear explosion be the focal point, sor tof like oh shit, war through the ages, the end.

indecision on Apr 19 '06
looks like you don't need my comment. I love it, it's a lot like the rope a dope stuff (awesome). $5. Only suggestion would be more use of the black (graphic novel style). but it's awesome.
byelka
byelka on Apr 19 '06
I agree that each character looks fantastic separately, but in their current configuration they wind up looking like clip art. The mix of styles would be beautiful if, as helo noted, the design itself were coherent, but right now you have five separate elements and five separate styles just... next to each other.

LOVE IT.
It's great.
Must have taken a long time to add in all that detail.
But I think the Egyptiant is off some where in la-la land.
I still wish there was a nazi though.
:(
suspiria
suspiria on Apr 23 '06
what? 20th century war is already represented on the far right, in a figure that doesn't invoke a very specific subject that people are still sensitive about (nazism). the egyptian is good. would have loved to see a roman on here. $5 from me still.
wendyb
wendyb on Apr 24 '06
Those images are from a book! I've seen three of them before. How could you not tell they are diferent, anyways they are such different styles. What a fraud!

   Luke... on Apr 26 '06
i have also seen these images...they are straight off of a book cover, and somewhere else....
proletarian
   proletarian on Apr 26 '06
I used picture out of a history book as a reference for the egyptian and the eagle on the knight's shield is from a clip art book. Those are probably the most simple elements in this piece and I think using them hardly makes me a fraud. The rest of the characters are hand drawn from scratch. Maybe you should start showing us these magical books rather than going off of some vague memory before you excuse someone of being a fraud.

Everyone else, thank you for the great comments. Going off your comments, I am going to change a few things and re submit this one.

This would be THE most perfect black shirt EVER!!! It has to be printed!!!!!!! PLEASE threadless!!! How can you print "I Hate Stripes" or "Know Your Meats" and NOT print this?? I'm not saying those other two are bad necessarily, but they can hardly be compared to how awesome "The Art of War" is. I will DEFINATELY buy this :)

I really hope this design will be resurrected and reprinted... it's SO good. This is one of my favorite designs and it's disheartening seeing it unprinted still. They did print Sapins, so hopefully they'll look back at this missed design.
