Re: Devour Them O Baku

I love this!

Re: Rhinoctopus vs Octo-copter

So this is based off of a nightmare that my best friend had.

he was stuck in the middle.

Meh. Not really. The only similarity is the Grim Reaper figure as a child, and that's about it; the "children" are not even drawn the same way.

But this derby isn't "things you'd be scared to stumble upon in real life". By that standard, most t-shirts on here, or any website for that matter, could be construed to be nightmares. Most t-shirts woot, Threadless and the like are rooted in some kind of fantasy, which in turn would be strange or scary if they were real.

the handcuffs on the floor are AWESOME!!!

Re: Once Upon A Restless Night

Nice work. The details coming out of the edges of the dream are a great touch.

ChaosDoctor07 wrote:Meh...Nice idea, but the whole child nudity thing is kind of bothersome, even with the bar there. Plus, the faces don't look like they'd be that terribly noticeable on the shirt. All I could suggest is perhaps doing something similar along the lines of public speaking, but maybe have the faces more monstrous/"nightmarish" and apparent, relative to the shirt, and maybe have the kid in boxers or something or, to ignore that entire argument, wearing normal clothes on the stage.

Agreed. That'd be an awkward explanation to have to provide. Plus, the bar itself just looks strange. I agree that adding some boxers would get the message across and fix those issues.

I'd also like to add that the faces seem to be barely visible from the shirt comp.

He'd *have* to be on shrooms to hallucinate such a superior 'stache.

Re: What balloons may dream about

I like the idea, it's certainly on theme (I love that the balloon is wearing a night cap) and, everything is really well rendered, but personally I'd like to see the balloon either already popped (with 'border' lines indicating where it was) or popping in the dream. Maybe with some motion lines indicating movement for the needle? Or a hand holding the needle? Though I'm not sure how that would do for scale..

Anyway, even if you don't plan on changing anything, you have my vote. The balloon in a night cap is somehow really cute.

*doh* This just got scarier. I didn't even catch the whole likeness at first. Now that I see it, the hat actually makes this for me.

Like the Little Nemo reference/idea.

That's a cat, bro.

Friggin' awesome! When will it be coming to the big screen? Saw "Pixar" in the credits...

btw, the video in the link was kinda fuzzy - is there a clearer version out there somewhere?

The rejection is not a total surprise. The reason given is Potty Humor. I cannot say I would wear the shirt to church, but I do not feel it is offensive.

Also, last I checked, there is a non-rejected design with an actual potty on it..

Re: Slappy devouring his pug V2

this is awesome.

Re: Teddy's Nightmare Becomes Reality

a very nice drawing

Thanks for your comments. The balloon's tail is fanning behind him like he is running from the needle.

Re: Dreamt I was falling...

That one dream where you're slowly getting sucked into the bed, then just whoosh! ...you know... if you hadn't woken up you'd be flushed out to Hades.

Re: If a Log Snores in the Woods... Will it scream?

awesome!

Re: A Balloon's Worst.... Nightmare

Great work in the design, but I could never wear the shirt, I have a this serious extreme irrational fear of clowns. Sad I know...

Re: The Sleep of Reason Produces Flying Turtles

I think you did an interesting take on a rather hackneyed topic. Not in for one because me no likey video games, but damn fine job nevertheless.

Re: The Sleep of Reason Produces Flying Turtles

Ever since I was driving through Alabama and saw the Mobile Museum of Art's Goya exhibition last year, I've been wanting to do a shirt based on the composition and imagery of the famous "The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters" print. So here it is.

I know video game references are contentious, but I'm very proud of this design and I hope you like it, too.

edit: Here's what the Goya print looks like for those who don't like clicking links.

I dig it. Thanks for the kind words.

I would of even liked it better if you had gone with a more flame looking mane... even though I did make a slight jab about you entering a ponyta looking design (in the pre-derby discussion).

Just my 2 cents.

looks like the horse is wearing a toupee.

I wish I could have gotten this submitted earlier but at noon, the submissions page wasn't ready. I guess it's for a different time zone... figures.

Re: The Guardian

My son sleeps with his protector, his stuffed tiger. Same concept... Tiger is there to protect him from any monsters that may be around. Great illo, thanks for putting our world on a shirt.

I've tried typing a decent reply... but meh.

It all comes across weird or disgusting.

so "*shrug*" is all you're gonna get.

That and the explanation of the *shrug*

Oh, and that last bit. (Damn, this never ends)

Holy scaffolding, the description.

Re: Recurring Nightmare

"Recurring Nightmare"

Re: Nightmare Warrior

too good bro too good.

Re: Nightmare Warrior

This is very similar to There's a Nightmare in My Closet... but I do like the illustration better. Good job.

Re: The Sleep of Reason Produces Flying Turtles

If only all video game parody designs were like this one, I'd never have a problem with them. Wonderfully drawn, much more than simple reference, and all around a very clever parody.

Re: Dead Sea

Rock it.

I agree on all of those points! I love this style too.

Re: The Sleep of Reason Produces Flying Turtles

Wow, this is gonna win in gigantic proportions. Looks great.
