Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

The house looks fantastic, nicely done... I kind of wish the trick-or-treater matched the rest of the design better, it looks a bit too cartoony somehow compared to the rest of the design.

I agree, that was the one thing I didn't really like.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

Love the style you drew and colored the house and surrounding bits in. I too was slightly distracted by the trick-or-treater though, just because he does have color and does look more cartoony than the rest of the image. Of course you couldn't at all do without him, but I wish he was in the same colors and style as the house.

Neat idea and good luck in the derby!

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

Love it. GMV

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

Very nice! I really like the concept and Halloween is right around the corner.

I think it's a great design. I love the little kid. It provides a wonderful contrast.

I actually clicked on this one thinking it was you. Really well done truffle

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

Thanks everyone for the compliments and the votes! I see what some of you mean about the little kid being a bit cartoon-y, but I sorta liked that juxtaposition between the cute, innocent little guy and the foreboding creepiness of the house in front of him. I appreciate the feedback though

This is excellent GMV!

Awesome work. I love the contrast between the kid and the house. Good work truffle!

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

I disagree, candy is always worth it.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

I love the detail. The little boy is great. I love the way he stopped short and is looking up at the house pondering his choice. GMV.

I'd knock on that door for a Reese's cup.

re: the candy isn't worth it

The boy is too cartoony? His body shape is really quite realistic, especially when compared to the house... now THAT is cartoony.

What's distracting is that the boy actually has color, compared the gray/black of the entire rest of the shirt.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

I like this shirt, love Halloween stuff. I like how the kid sticks out because he's the punchline of the shirt. The creepy house is cool and all, but the little trick-or-treater kid standing there looking at it makes it darkly amusing. If the kid didn't have some color and stick out he might just blend in with the tombstones and the "joke" would be obscured.

Reese's cups are pretty good...but I think I'd have to hold out for a Baby Ruth;) You could probably entice me to my death with one of those.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

Go ahead, little fella. I bet they have really good home-made candies in that house. Bwa ha ha!

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

I just suddenly lost at least 6 votes...maybe more. Did I do something wrong? Where did all the love go?

EDIT: Oh...they're all back now...that was weird...I check this website too much...and love ellipses

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

Well drawn! My only thought would be that the design is a tad too large on the shirt for my taste.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

GREAT ART! But it's just not something I can see myself wearing on a shirt

I so want this shirt to win! Got to have it!

To me this is what sells the design. that childish/like fear.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

Wonderful. I love it. This is the only shirt that has my vote in this derby.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

Okay, I've been looking at this for how many days, and I just realized that the at the top of the house, the dormer windows look like eyes, and the long windows below are a crazy evil grin. Yeah, I'm slow, but I get there eventually.

When I'm out running errands, I usually have my keys in my pocket and there's a little Intel bunnyman on the keychain hanging out of my pocket. If I was wearing this shirt, that guy on my keys would be like another halloween kid, probably standing back and egging this guy on to go knock on the door first.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

I love the shirt. Its definitly the one I want.

Re: The Candy Isn't Worth It

This design is fantastic, I want it now! Great skills and and looks awesome as a tee...
