Love it

I have this horrible, horrible suspicion that we're going to get a "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" entry, because it doesn't specify only WINTER holidays. It says "Christmas and Holiday" and Easter fits!

And if it is somehow rightly rejected, peter cottontail will sprout a santa hat.

they would eventually be getting faces, yes. I'm worried it's too cluttered, but I also have an excessively minimalist aesthetic. :/

Gorgeous--would love to see the finished product.

Hahahaha...
I was thinking about that too. There's gotta be some really random holidays showing up in here

Ok, this took to long. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. Find the lyrics, i think i got everything.

Someone make a Kwanzaa shirt. There are Kwanzaa songs right?

i already realized i forgot one, update manana. later folks.

Pretty happy with this, but always will take comments on Black Friday. Wondering if I need to put snow on it to make it more applicable to the lyrics.

looks really nice, just not a color I wear :/

A quick one I had to do.
I'm working on another that will take some more time

Little preview of another design...
Hopefully one can get it from the design!

O Tannenbaum:

I don't know if you *need* the snow, per se, but when I saw this in the cyberpub my first thought was that snow would make it a little clearer, and certainly more holiday-ish.

kind of ironic since I live in a place where it doesn't snow, but, y'know. making it more holiday-related isn't going to wreck it since it's a christmas tree anyway!

I'll take that as a compliment, as he's very cute! It's skek's squirrel though=)

Hey y'all. here's some work I did. Going to polish it up before noon though (yay day off)

"Sleigh Ride" is the song.
"We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be" is the lyric.

initial sketch . .


Now three color ideas. I'd have to tweak the number of colors and values depending on the final idea

Comments/thoughts are appreciated.

comments:

1) the sleigh is gonna need to be more distinct as to what it is. A distinction of colors between bird and carriage would be best. Right now it looks like a Siamese Weeble Bird, because the sled blends in and isn't a "standard" shape.

2) The rabbit's eye sockets make him look like he has crazyeyes.

3) I feel like the shading on the rabbit feels more "unfinished" than "shaded". To me, I think filling it out would be best. But then, I'd need to see it to be sure, and who knows if i'll even be around to check it between now and derby

Awesome, thanks guys, I still do have a bit to do before it's polished. I also changed the sled to be less traditional and more a "nest on two branches" to keep with the bird theme.

Turkey . . .Coma . . .ZZZzzzz

Another idea (still in sketch phase).
"Winter wonderland"
"Gone away, is the bluebird. Here to stay is the new bird"



busted up bluebird in the bottom left corner. New bird will have a hammer or wrench (it's perched on the girl robot's hand).
Why they are robots? who knows.
Was trying to resist the urge to do a twisted drawing, but I can't help it.

I was afraid of a Christmas themed derby...yark. Humbug!

But, having said that, I did have a really neat idea for this. Alas, I'm stuck at the folks' house with no scanner and no software ;_;. Maybe I can pull off some kind of late entry just for kicks :D. I expect to see a lot of beautiful designs this derby, go y'all, go!

<--begs Santa for laptop with Photoshop and Illustrator installed

Update to the bird design.... changed it to a no-outline style (original sketch above is just the outline). Any thoughts? Does the color scheme work? Thanks!

And er... now I'm second guessing the shirt color. Some other thoughts.... (would change some things if on lemon)

I think the blues pops best...and also gives a cool wintry vibe

I would stick with either this or heather gray... I have a personal vendetta against lemon, and the other two don't have enough contrast between shirt and design.

also, lemon = noseless bird.

Neat sokowa, I like the start of this.

bassanimation wrote:I was afraid of a Christmas themed derby...yark. Humbug!

Me too... but trying to think of designs that follow holiday lyrics but still can be worn year round, not too explicitly christmasy/otherholiday-y.

Thanks xaz...

Nah, I would fix that...that's why I wrote--> "(would change some things if on lemon)" ;)

Edit: Oh and... purple wings... yay or nay?

quick posting of my inks. still need to clean up the line art.



I'm probably shooting myself in the foot, but I'm sort of leaning towards just leaving it as lineart. wouldn't be black and white, but still just lines. some of the stuff from the lineart derby looks fantastic, after all...

xazothia wrote:I would stick with either this or heather gray... I have a personal vendetta against lemon, and the other two don't have enough contrast between shirt and design.

I second this. And no to purple wings, imo.

..........

dang it. wanted to finish my design before Black Friday shopping, but it's a little on the complicated side and won't be up until later. Santa Baby will just have to wait.

Very cute design! Love it on the heather gray, and no to the purple wings for me as well...would definitely buy when it makes it!

Very unique design, amazingly I like it on the white (and I HATE white shirts), but the colors really come out on the white...just my two cents.

I love the shirt color, and I have to say no to purple wings. While I like the yellow shirt color, myself, I don't think it would help sell the design. This is a great design, I'd love to get one for my phone addict sister!

I thought about doing this design briefly, yours came out great! I'd say no to the purple wings and the green shirt is the best. Best of luck!

Adder if that happens then I will personally blame you because you put the idea out there.
