I guess that explains all my broken pencils... I think you're on to something here, but it's not quite there yet. The size and position of the pencils in relation to the desk seems a bit off, but I give you credit for the dancing tips. Are those eyes?...

squintygirl> yes they are :-) (cyclops) thanks for your comments. I tried to make a view with the desk in background a bit far (it's assumed that my view is very close to the crayons, pencils), i hope it is not "that" off...

here we go! the other colors are available on the blog ;-)

Oh, I hate it when my pencil breaks! But if the graphite would dance, it would be more tolerable.

i thought that was a city skyline at first with a street light. oopss.

good word :) i like the illustration. concept is weird, but that's okay!

*work.

cool!

I think this is really clever, and I really like how even the lamp makes the shape of a pencil head

Ah ha! It is a desk in the background! I, too, thought it was a city, and I had to check again when you said it was not.



Awesome job. This is pretty darn cool.

thanks everybody: so, to explain exactly what was my point: As the BreakDance is at the beginning a street dance, a street style, i tried to make the desk look like buildings and "city like"...you know what? i'm really happy because it works!

Awesome $5

the desk in the background doesn't bother me at all...

this made me smile :)

it takes a little while to figure out what's going on. I like the idea of the desk/skyline, but it doesn't really work for me. maybe you could bring more of that to the foreground. have them dancing under the desklamp/streetlight or something. those little dude should throw down some cardboard or something... maybe it would help if they were doing more obvious breakdance moves, right now they're just partying.



great idea. I just think it could use some reworking.

should be threadless loves threadless

This is awesome.

I love the idea.



$5

im gonna be breakin my pencils left and right so they can party. this is incredible.

sphagnum> the idea of the "desklamp" was my original idea, to throw them under the spotlight...dunno why i didn't do it then (lazy? lol). For the positions, i am not sure it will change the concept if i create other moves. sarajaynan> if you break yours, i won't pay the bills for the loss :-p thanks everybody!

That was a Monkey in a Speedo moment. It definetly needs help coping wif life... But. For all that work I'll give you a...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I really enjoy this design!

alien lead people.

good idea.

but it's lacking something..

colors?

eh.

no?

Oh, this is definitely funky, and I dig the style it's drawn in. However, I think it'd be more rad if you defined the space a bit more to make it more apparent that it's a desk. And I don't really feel the little orange bits around their feet and hands. I don't know how hard you'd like to play up the play on words, but maybe if you had a piece of paper there to be like a sheet of cardboard to dance on... That might be rad, but unnecessary.



As it stands, I think this is an excellent concept and could see it selling pretty well, but I think there are a few things that need to change before this is fully realized.

*...That might be rad, but it might not be necessary. (It didn't seem clear the way I wrote it.)

thanks again! //// ntopp> i love when somebody take all that time to improve the works of others :-D the idea of a sheet of paper was one of my firsts thoughts when i did it, but it didn't work...for some reason, but i could try again of course, it COULD be better ;-) about the play on words, yes, i want to dig the concept, but not sure with the direction i would take...thanks again, i'll think about that ;-)

I like this. You look at for a little and then you get it and it's like, whoa! that's a pretty neat idea! Just a thought: switch the book and the lamp, it might help to balance things out? their is alot of big stuff on the left side of the desk, something hefty needs to go on the right.

Hahaha. Damn pencil tips keep falling out......

kate kadoo> in fact, it's meant to be like skyscrapers, but i note your thought, i'll try it to improve ^^ thanks !

i'm not sure if i understand why the pencils are sticking out from inside the desk... also i would like to see the desk items (lamp, etc) a little closer to foreground.

this is excellent... super creative thoughtful and still fun!! your drawing style is clean but not too ordered so as to turn into something boring; i especially like the background images...

pretty much what im saying..

this kicks my face

in a really good way ;p

I really like this

i like it too. i think you should work on it again and submit it for critique :]
