sorry to be a downer, but スプーン says 'spoon'

Re: The Crane

I love the design, but the kanji sort of ruins it for me. I think the red overwhelms the rest of the image.

Re: How to Make a Better Paper Crane

I REALLY REALLY hope this wins.

A coworker just gave me a whole calendar of origami. A different design every day.

None as cool as this one.

I got one as a gift too, though I still haven't used it. D'oh! I used to be really into origami but now just do it with the chopstick sleeves when I'm bored at asian restaurants=)

Re: Things from Japan (final sub)

Hmmmm. Its kinda boxy placement wise...

Re: Shouri

What on earth is with that huge grey splash?!?!

re: things from japan (final sub)

In my opinion it needs a large, acne-ridden white guy with a too small pokemon shirt and the naruto manga in one hand and a sailor moon resin statue in the other.

Re: Surf's Up Dude...

I mean seriously... catch the waves brah. catch'm.

I actually like the box though other things could work. What I don't like is the choice of asphalt, but other than black I can't come up with an alternative that would look better.

I really like the way this is done though. Very outside the box and one of the few not harping on stereotypes. Excellent.

Re: Rising Sun

Looks more like a flying spaghetti monster.

Re: Things from Japan (final sub)

I like it Ramyb, the design you added in the background helps out A LOT with depth.

I have a lunchbox from japan that actually came with a spork so gmv for accuracy!

Re: Hello Piggy

That is one cute piggy!

Collab with sekiyoku. we each sketched half of them and then switched for the lineart and the coloring.

text: nature, food, people, animals
bottom: japan

Thanks for bearing with me here with the resubs- I believe the writing is all in order now, and I added an outline of the country in the background

You forgot.... just kidding! Everything looks good now. Good luck.

Okay I stand corrected none of Ramyb designs ever look like a recycled idea....just like this shirt isn't a recycled idea of A IS FOR ATLAS....

So did EVERYONE.

Yawn. As always.

btw, how to remove this bottom ad?

I think I'm seeing 8?

@JustWalkedIn
Haha, if it prints, you should >:P

@TruffleShuffle
Same here, as you can tell :D thank you for your kind words.

@Bellarific
Ha, i could see him shaking his fists (that aren't there) at children on his lawn...

@RedQ33n
Thank you! I try to make my designs as much my own as possible. I make them more as artwork than what will appeal to the masses. If that means I won't win, that's fine with me :]

@IcyMallard
Edgar eyes? Not sure what you mean...
Glad I've got your vote though :D
*psst* ma'am ^_^

@Drakxxx
At the very least, there is 11.
Sun, Fox, Cloud, Tree, Koi, Blue Rock Thrush (Eurasian bird), Snake, Japanese Iris, River spirit, Mt Fuji, and the boulders at the base of the tree. To be simple, we'll count them all as one Kami :]

Agreed. Red would have been better.

Nice work!

Thanks so much; I appreciate your kind words.

Re: Kanji Samurai Sun

Symbol means Samurai

Re: Kami of the Earth

Nice sketchy style. I like.

iaremoron wrote:sorry to be a downer, but スプーン says 'spoon'

Good point, but what do the characters before it mean?

Does anyone here know how to actually say/spell "spork" in Japanese?

Re: Shouri

I actually enjoy it more than the first samurai one, but I would like to have seen the red sun a little more worn or more painted like the kanji, it doesn't quite fit. Still gmv.

databit wrote:I guess the pirate did not notice the other seven ninjas in the background sneaking off with the treasure chest.

That's because ninjas are invisible.

Re: She Never Sleeps

I will always be a fan of drakxxx on red, especially when done creepily.
