Hm. I don't know where my original comment went, but it went something like this :



New trend! Actual hand-drawn art that isn't intentionally childish and awkward!

$5 this is what threadless wanted with the threadless loves threadless . perfect

beautifully done.

awesome

5 for the comment

Beautiful, love it. 5$

I don't think this is childish or ackward. Its friggin cool. $5

incredible... and great comment. but i think some of the people just cant draw, vs being intentionally childish :)

just a general question, how is somethign submitted in vector form if it is hand drawn, is there some sort of program you convert it with, or do you just draw it sacan it, then vector it?

If somone would reply that be great

It doesn't NEED to be vectorized for submission if the scan is in super-high resolution. And from what I understand, if you need to vectorize it, you can run it through some kinda filter.

WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD - LOVE IT!

great work, i totally love it $5

Bizarre and cool. Really awesome work.

hum. i'd wear this. i like it. $5

Is that guy going to Bangkok? (Sorry could resist the joke pun reference after seeing the hammer in his hand).

odd, but i'de wear it.



hope it would be able to pick up all the detail, or it wouldn't be worth it.

Always wonderful to break with standards and accepted aesthetics.





Strangely enough, I actually want the text on there, but below the image and in a different font.

that's pretty cool, well done

give him a text bubble that says "now i want you boys to scream real loud at my ass" for 5$

i like the hand-drawn, sketchy look



and i realize (with the tentacle legs) that this isn't about realism, but -



the anatomy of the deer is way off and it really bugs me



i think you got mixed up thinking the ankle is the knee - and you ended up with limbs missing the upper bone that attaches them to the body at the scapula and pelvis



to see what i mean, check here -

http://www.kerrlake.com/deer/deer2.jpg



it's not just anatomical correctness - the ribs/verts are off - but they still connect in a functional manner - it's the fact that the limbs aren't "functional" as limbs right now that drives me nuts



5$ if that gets fixed



you get a 5 for now

Rudra - it's not biologically perfect. That's kinda the point. I took a reference and tweaked it.



AND it's not a deer. It's an ... other thing. But more than that, it's an icon.

Definitely a trip, and very nice handdrawn work. 4$

i love the hand drawn style. this is great for the threadless contest. 5$

just bizarre enough that I would wear it. ^_^

id like this with the text.

the guy's head is sliiiiiiightly too small.

But I love the weirdness of it.

This is truly great. I got five on it.

excellent style

Rudra was saying that the anatomy was off on the animal... but perhaps the guy isn't finished building the creature yet and has left a few bones out for now. =)



Anyway, this is a really weird design... but very original. Great craftsmanship and attention to detail, too.

very intresting.... love the illustrative quality

Love the art. 5 + $

I agree, I like the text, but beneath the picture and a diff. font. That would make it feel more complete and amazing.

BRILLIANT.

Amazing! $5

very awesome

love it... super!

kinda scares the crap outa me but its just so beautiful at the same time. I love love love it. but i donno if i'd want it on a shirt... but you get a 5 from me anyways

5

amazing. hope it gets printed.

yeah, i know it's not supposed to be totally biologically accurate (tweaked and assembled bits and pieces) - and it's more like that mythological himalayan one-horned antelope like thing than a deer - but back to the point



the legs as they are don't connect to actual joints, and wouldn't support the mass of the body, or allow a sufficient range of motion - they couldn't FUNCTION - it's all about Structure and Function



(yes, i'm a nerd - i also study osteology)



and that lack of functionality is impinging on my willing suspension of disbelief that the old tentacle-legged man is carving out/working on building/(whatever it is he's doing) an animate/live skeletal creature



i want to think that that animal can leap up and run wild - as it is i think it shouldn't even be able to stand, the poor thing would crumple onto the floor without that man holding it up



and that makes me very sad - because i really really like the idea, and execution, with that one exception

Great job! I absolutely love submissions with concepts that involve anatomy (both animal and human) ^_^ $5

Yet the anatomy of a tentacle man doesn't bother you at all, rudra? Why, I'm not sure that those things would allow the man to walk. I like the art a lot, 5.

gorgeous but... i don't get it? $5 just because it's awesome and original.

the skeleton concept is getting old. im pretty sure half the time there is no concept, just people throwing skeletons everywhere and making people think it has some deep involved meaning to it

Skeletons are TOTALLY old. In fact, they were so cliche that I got rid of my own skeleton and replaced it with popsicle sticks so I could be HIPPER. That'll show biology to be such a LAMER! OMGZ!

Ah, it's art..it doesn't matter if it's not strictly biologically correct...there's a bloke with tentacles for legs for gawdsake.



It's just a really different/bizarre/amazing drawing. Would buy it!

I'm sorry, but what in the world is going on here?

It's not just bizarre, I can't really see anything that's going on.

great illustration

This is really nice work! Usually submissions get a one from me, but you have earned a 5 today.
