About my design
by Rockslide   
The powerful god Zeus took the form of a great eagle and descended from Olympus. Soaring near a hidden grotto he sighted the once beautiful Medusa and took pity. He took her into the clouds and through their union came the fearsome offspring known as the harpies. From Zeus they took a half bird form and from Medusa they were granted half of her former beauty. Half bird and half woman, they lured men and their sailing ships into the rocks. This was in homage of how their mother also turned men to stones, albeit of a different sort.

I created this psuedo-myth as inspiration behind this design. (Check online for the true story of the harpies) It was also inspired by the ancient Greek vases and that is why the colors are black and terra cotta.

MORE COLORS AND A CLOSE-UP IN MY PROFILE!!

Hey thanks everyone for the support and love!

I apologize to Down10 for not consulting his automatic zero list, and I'm glad he took the time to inform me of it. Haha, I'm being a jerk, everyone has a right to their own opinion.

This was kinda like a Revolution(see www.threadies.org) sub for me. I wanted to do something a little away from all the comic shirts. Nothing against comic shirts, I do them too, its just nice for a change now and then.

I have to agree about the leg with the lighning bolts. The positioning really detracts from an otherwise impressive design. It *may* put me off buying it.

just so ong as the women's stays black, and not some stereotypical chick color, then i'm buying.

unless its like a deep deep purple.t hat would look cool.
