Re: Inspired by Hark, The Herald Angels Sing

I uploaded an incorrectly-sized comp image so it's a little fuzzy, but you can find a larger version of this image here. Thanks for looking

Nicely illustrated! I like it on the baby blue.

Re: Inspired by Hark, The Herald Angels Sing

It's a lovely design, xaz but I think the blue robes are lost in the shirt color and the facial lines look a little hasty.

At one point I was getting pretty annoyed with the faces. I wanted them to look more delicate (I wanted the whole thing to be kind of delicate, really) but something in my process is really not working well with that. I'm still inking the traditional way, and that might be part of the problem. It's something I'll keep in mind for next time.

Thanks for your feedback!

Oh, I also want to add that I left the robes as the shirt color instead of making them white because I wanted to avoid having too much ink on the shirt. I also tried this design on white but it didn't feel right to me. If I were better at this halftoning business I might have found a more elegant solution, but I'll have to keep experimenting.

I see what you mean. No one wants a sheet of ink on his or her chest, neh?

I like the colors. The placement seems a bit high on the shirt, and at first glance I thought "why are those people bleeding out their asses".

If they were meant to be bleeding out their asses, I'd have gotten some blood on their robes, too.

I like the art, but I don't think I'd like it on a shirt.

Thanks I'm definitely an illustrator first and a designer second, so I'm still trying to find what works for shirts in term of style and content.

Re: Inspired by Hark, The Herald Angels Sing

I love the dark blue of the lines, and the song relation. I just wish there was some more of the red color, maybe near the top of the design. The Red adds a nice separating effect, but it's kind of distracting from the image.
GMV!

I really like this! The baby blue is a great color.
