Here is my collaborative effort with the talented Miss Zenne.
As you may know Zenne did the colors on this design, and I did the line art.

The idea was inspired by the musical number in The Last Unicorn about the sea,
and I created the initial line art with the the film in mind.

This was inspired by tLU? Fantastic. This turned out so beautifully despite not having any purple. Beautiful work you two. My favourite design in this derby, for sure.

Nm, it does have purple, sort of a violety shade on the girl, as I'd hoped....double yay!

This is amazing! I hope it gets up into the fog soon.

Re: Sea of Dreams

this really turned out awesome! great job you two

Re: Sea of Dreams

It really turned out great... The drawing, the colors and the way it looks placed in the t-shirt. Awesome work. Congrats!!

Re: Sea of Dreams

Wow, the coloring on this is just fantastic :D Nice work

Re: Sea of Dreams

I'm absolutely in love with it.

Re: Sea of Dreams

Wow, this is gorgeous.

Absolutely fantastic work, Drakxxx and Zenne. I'm sure there is plenty of time for this to get to the fog. It's truly worthy, and I'll be saving $10 for it.

re: sea of dreams

Best collab. Drakxxx's ability to compose a great scene with Zenne's fantastic coloring = awesome. Good call you two.

Re: Sea of Dreams

Drakxxx, Zenne, this is wonderful. I think the only thing I would have suggested would have been to leave off the arm, but I love the whole piece. You can really see Zenne's influence in the project and yet it maintains Drakxxx's style. I'm very in favor of the strong, crisp lines (even though I'm obviously a fan of Drakxxx's raw linework), but in this piece, the sketchiness could have easily distracted you from all the added detail. It came out superb. And I am SOOOO glad you two got the mirror area spot on!

Awesome... simply awesome.

Re: Sea of Dreams

It seems that the sails are pointing the wrong way, that is, if I'm correcting assuming that it is the stern of the ship I'm seeing. Other than that, neeto.

Wow, impressive! I was hoping to see a little more of Zenne's halftone magic, but oh well :/

Is it just me or are the yellowish/greenish fish a little too dominant color-wise? Unless that is intentional?

Great design nevertheless, GMV.

Re: Sea of Dreams

Where's the red bull? GMV fo' sho'.

re: sea of dreams

Wow, beautiful! I'm not a fan of navy shirts, but this might make me consider one.

re: sea of dreams

very nice, gmv

Re: Sea of Dreams

this derby is over...you killed it

great job!

Re: Sea of Dreams

Best shirt composition ever. Great colors too.

Re: Sea of Dreams

this is a FANTASTIC shirt. I agree that it might look better with the arm left off, but GMV for sure ^^

Re: Sea of Dreams

Awesome collab and beautiful design!

Wow what a great t-shirt. Too bad its only 16th place... hopefully it will be in the fog soon. Love the artwork.

Re: Sea of Dreams

The layout and colouring of this design is really beautiful! Here's hoping this makes its way into the fog soon. Needless to say, GMV!

Re: Sea of Dreams

Sorry to be a downer but is there any way to get it with out the face?? when i saw the title and saw the small image first thought Winkin Blinkin and Nod from the old story's and i was soo happy but the face killed it for me.

again sorry for the harsh comment

Re: Sea of Dreams

Came out great, guys.

But seriously, based on a song in the last unicorn? That makes me ahuhu out loud.

Re: Sea of Dreams

This is gorgeous ! GREAT design thought and design work ! I would definitely wear this ! I think you captured the theme perfectly !
Again great job !

Why? And isn't ahuhu'ing out loud redundant? :D

Re: Sea of Dreams

I really love how this came out. It is beautiful! The only thing I would change is to take out the arm. It seems out of place with the flow of everything else. Other than that, it is lovely! Great job!

Re: Sea of Dreams

Best in the Derby.

I think it was just too late, though

I guess the most we can hope for is an HM and printed at a later date

Great job, again, Drakxxx and Zenne !!

Re: Sea of Dreams

You need to sing the meow mix song through a couple of times.
That will cure you!

I'm guessing it's a good thing I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

the last unicorn is probably the feyest movie I've ever seen. You're really missing nothing.

And the songs... god, it's everything I dislike about hippie folk, mixed with most of what I hate about fantasy lit.

Lol. For some reason it's the song thats come to my mind constantly over the years whenever something aquatic is involved.

I've always found The Last Unicorn to be a quality source of fantasy inspiration. I think it's got the right amount of whimsy and seriousness all at the same time.

Thanks everyone for your support on this one, and a big thanks again to Zenne for the amazing color. I really am fond of this design.

Exactly. Color... black & white. Either way. GMV. This is awesome.

I can see this getting editor's choice down the road.

Re: Sea of Dreams

This shirt has a pattern that flows, but doesn't crash with too much. I like it very much good job.
