About my design
by adamwhite   
SUN LION is a lot different from my first submission. Going to the flip side of vector type art, this design is straight out of my pen and ink sketchbook. I distressed the design to age it a it a bit. I think it adds to the age of the art, almost a mythological creature, or ancient deity.

Thank you for checking it out,
Adam

Nice job on the sketch. I think vector art is great but your right about the sketch book ... nothing beats Pen Ink Lead

adamwhite
   adamwhite on Aug 01 '06
I was torn between over sizing it, or making it small, floating mid chest, even maybe on the lower side.

Mocked-up some versions before submitting it, and decided I think this is a good size. I am really happy with it.

I absolutely love this design just the way it is, but I'd be interested to see it placed a bit lower on the shirt!

Very nice, though the overly-distressed look bothers me some. It's too good a design to print it already worn out.

I decided to add the orange/atheletic gold colored outline to allow the artworks hand drawn outline to be the shirt. Having all the sketchbook lines being negative space, it helps soften up the print not adding more ink to the front of your shirt. It will be cool, I promise!

Great work. Getting off the mouse and keys and using your hands like a caveman really gives the image some life. The time invested really turns into equal amounts of energy exchanged with the viewer. You get a big shiny star.
