I had alot of fun making this, the imagery in the spirits was based on some dream meanings I read about. There are equal amounts of death and life references shown. Sleep is a rather death like state, but it rejuvenates us and gives us energy. These spirits control her sleep and dreams. It may be more spiritual than scientific, but there are some parellels here with imagery in the movie too.

Thats about all the meaning involved, I mainly wanted to come up with something that looked really cool. Enjoy! Be honest.

Great design, though I get lost in the middle of it all, too much going on. Nevertheless, good job.

This is gorgeous and a VERY unique design- most shirts here on Threadless don't have such a lovely level of artistic detail (while some have lots of components to the design, none of those components is usually individually detailed.) $5, and I absolutely hope this gets picked!

Great Job Kai! I like how you played off such pure elements of black and white, Life and death. It's creepy with a disturbed adult side, but has a softness and childlike feel to it. Something you'd see back in the midevel time, but with an updated anime/cartoon style. I like the Earth element, it really gives the thing life.

nice detail

Arivel on Oct 20 '06

Hey guys, thanks for the comments! I also really appreciate the review cheesecakebree.

I had been looking at a lot of Mucha, and some more modern concert posters with an incredible amount of linework detail before I started this.

It influenced the detail levels for sure. But thats why I made the color simple, to help even things out.

catface on Oct 22 '06

I love the three characters. Looks like you did put a lot of effort into it without making it looking over crowded like some tee's. 5.

morabbiton on Oct 23 '06

I like it a loooooot. :)
I think the sheet placement looks a little funky though. I'm not being a prude but it's a little too close to the underwear and so it looks a little busy around there. maybe if it was covered up more or moved further down. whichever?
