Re: The Madness of it All

Since I dig anything red on black, I had to vote for this...

Re: The Madness of it All

I like the art, but the placement doesn't seem right...of course, I can't figure out where it should go...

Re: The Madness of it All

NICE!!!! Very well put..... GMV Stellardig

Re: The Madness of it All

very nice

Re: The Madness of it All

There's something very intriguing about the white cracked line down the middle of the ground and the figure. It reminds me of calling a mad person "cracked."
Quite nice!

Looks rather phallic to me.

Re: The Madness of it All

Oh I see what you did thar! Reminds me of live not on evil. I like it, GMV

First thing I thought of too... A big red engorged... The colors scheme is really cool though.

I -didn't- see that, but now I can't un-see.


But really though, it looks pretty good. I like the off-kilter placement and the subtle-yet-striking white streak makes it very interesting to look at. It balances out the dark tones -just- enough, while still adding to the feeling of desparity achieved by the rest.

Re: The Madness of it All

My first thought was 'Whoa!'. My second was that the placement is wonky. My third was that the central figure looks heart-like enough to warrant a place right over the heart. So, I'm right back to 'Whoa!' :D

Re: The Madness of it All

I like this, but it is too small on the shirt. I think that is why some people have mentioned the placement seems wonky. If it was scaled up by 25-50% it would get my vote.

Awesome creation really hope it wins. I want this so bad.

Re: The Madness of it All

thanks for the comments and votes!
please check out my new design as well:

Re: The Madness of it All

Love the placement!

Re: The Madness of it All

The composition, colours, placement and style of this shirt all really appeal to me. However, I don't really 'get' what's going on in the lower part of the design, below the character's feet, and that sort of bothers me - any explanation as to what that's meant to convey?

you don't see the grim reaper?

I'm assuming that is sarcasm...bc definitely not.

No, not sarcasm, the reaper is there, on the shirt. You have to kindof 'upside-down' your brain, or literally turn up-side down to see it. The reaper is the shadow/antithesis of the angel that's the main focus.

Re: The Madness of it All

Haunting design, and a great representation of insanity. I'm curious, are the right-angled fractures intended to represent a cross? Regardless, nice work. GL.

Ohhhhhh! Yes! Thank you for that, I totally see it now and am voting.
