Do Geese See God?



I wrote 6 colors in the comp out of habit, but I promise it's actually only 5 colors on navy. ;)

Re: Do Geese See God


If any goose is able to see god, I doubt it'd be Canadian Geese. Those guys are jerks.

Where was I? Oh yeah. Design looks great. Nice palette and sits well on a tee.

I think my experience with geese is that the large majority of them are rather surly and ill-tempered. Maybe if they could learn to embrace a higher being of your peaceful world religion of choice, they could be less nasty to the rest of us?

...nah. I bet little kids are still going to chase them around parks and learn the hard way why that is a bad idea. HONK!

Loving the design. Very original and excellently drawn, but not so overwhelming so that it would still look great on a shirt. GMV

(Now that I'm not in front of my low-brightness monitor) This is gorgeous and a great concept.

I'm a fan of geese (but not their attitude or poops), and I'd definitely wear this.

Wow, each has her own personality! I love the slick way you did the shading on them. Take a look at my far more lazy entry for the same palindrome.

i could be wrong, but it looks like there is brown, darker brown, grey, darker grey, white, and black.

If im right that would make six colors.

Now that I look closer, I think you're right about that.

sorry Bill, you're wrong ;)

The five colors are shown in the star shapes on the comp - white (highlights and stars), light gray (the geese's accents and underbellies), brown, dark gray (goose necks), and black. The "dark brown" and "darker gray" you see is just a result of my "halftone" method (hatch lines) being smoothly resized by photoshop.

If I hadn't used the hatchmarks, there'd actually be seven colors.

edit: to be fair, I could have used only the light gray (white was too stark for the larger areas) and used "darker gray" and "darker brown", but I like the artistic element the hatchmarks give it. Another time, perhaps.

It looks really nice Xazy, sorry I didn't come in early to compliment it... This derby has held very little interest for me.
