Coloring this is gonna be a pain, I can tell. And I think it needs a crazy cool background that I'm always really bad at :x. Anyways lemme know what you think so far. I'm worried the arrow/banana stand out too much, but it should be an easy enough fix (shrink down the line thickness...)



i love this design, its really unique. It will def get my vote.

Ya know it might be more obvious if the girl is pulling a wagon with a huge gleaming diamond in it.

edit: Ha you changed it up on me. The "worm" looks really cool!

Thanks to Mr. Adder for the idea. "Hell is Other People" by Jean-Paul Sartre.

Really rough sketch so far, but let me know what you think.

the main guys hand is a tiny bit big for his body just looks a little out of scale. Interesting quote that really fits with your style.

It's not out of scale. the perspective from the angle is elusive. Once Draxx shadows it'll be solid. :-)

Yet this design is clearly executed with the refrence very clear...

Aye, there's the rub...

The worm is pretty cool. I think this is a great take on the quote and I really look forward to seeing the finished product

Alas, poor Yorick.

Hmm... someone could do "beast with two backs" from Othello - it would be a very well disguised dirty joke!

I'm not a designer but I would like to make a suggestion. With the 4th of July coming up, how about something patriotic? "Land of the free and the home of the brave" comes to mind.

I'm leaning towards the brown version of this one- the "glow" adds nice visual appeal. Any dissenters/other thoughts?

Meh... what I've got so far.. I absolutely hate it. :p I'm not skilled enough at drawing to pull of the result I wanted. I think I'm gonna go for a simpler idea/quote and run with that instead. =)

Lookin' great drakxxx!

Good to hear brown looks as awesome I think it does! Isn't it great when a design seems to finally come together right at the end? See y'all tomorrow!



BTW, could any derby vets make sure this shirt comp is kosher for the rejectonator? I can never remember those shirt comp stipulations...

Dont think its possible to make this into a derby theme and not really a quote just a conversation between two people but it's still badass.


George Bernard Shaw: "Mam, if someone paid you one million dollars to sleep with them would you?"
Mam: "Yes, Yes thats a lot of money of course I would"
George Bernard Shaw: "Well that's interesting. If someone paid you five dollars to sleep with them would you?"
Mam: "Five dollars? That's ridiculous that's no money at all of course not what do you think I am?"
George Bernard Shaw: "We've already established what you are, now we're trying to establish a price"

I like it! [I'm hoping you keep it black and white... Although, a little red splashed in there could be cool too.]
