Steamrolled.

Re: Steamrolled

Slightly worse than Rick-rolled

Re: Steamrolled

I imagine the flattened guy doing the Rick Astley arm swing hip move just before being hit.

Re: Steamrolled

ZA WARUDO!

Re: Steamrolled

awesome

Re: Steamrolled

Can someone explain this to me? I feel like there's a reference here I'm not getting.

Aha! There's totally not! I just like when cartoons get squished by steamrollers.

There was some likening to Rickrolling going on in the comments. If anyone's not familiar with that term, here's a link to horrific images of elderly women giving birth that will explain everything.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Re: Steamrolled

The first thing I thought of was the scene near the end of A Fish Called Wanda where Kevin Kline is run over by Michael Palin driving a steamroller. Awesome!

Re: Steamrolled

The Steamroller is just cool... I envision the same steamroller pulling up to a stoplight ready to drag race... GMV

Re: Steamrolled

There seems to be some mistake. Your link pointed to some some silly man attempting to dance.

Ha! Ok - me too.

Re: Steamrolled

just like ramyb's awful lucky day shirt, i think you could have done so much better with the figures

I don't think so. I think the simpler and cuter the figures are, the more acceptable it is for them to do horrible things. These figures could be eating a baby and you'd have to be like "awwww, how cute"

Re: Steamrolled

Gotta say, I love the faces on this.

Re: Steamrolled

Once again, Boots, you have come up with a clever concept with a simple and clean design! You have impressed me again.

Re: Steamrolled

I like that the people are basic, and the face of the guy on the far left - CRACKS ME UP!
Reminds me of a miffed off stay puft marshmallow man.

Re: Steamrolled

very nice this week, Boots!

I luvz me some cartoon carnage!

Re: Steamrolled

very funny!

Squished or Squashed also works!

Re: Steamrolled

I really, really dig this shirt, boots! I have too many shirts as it is, but I might have a hard time passing this one up.

Re: Steamrolled

I really love the body language of the one little guy who is on his knees, I love that you gave him that reaction, the smiling ones keep it cheerful.

Re: Steamrolled

I really like the idea, but honestly, the figures that are still "alive" already look flattened. I think the design would have been a lot more successful if the standing figures didn't look so flat; it's make a much bigger contrast between them and the poor steamrolled victim.

Not my favourite design from Boots, but heck, I do love your work in general. :]

Re: Steamrolled

Pretty good Boots. GMV

Re: Steamrolled

That expression is priceless. GMV.

I made them flat so that it would just be a pointless annoyance when the steamroller rolls over them. To me, it makes the steamrolling guy seem like more of an piece of toast. I don't think I got that across very well though, so you're right. It probably would have been better the other way.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Re: Steamrolled

I wish this one was doing better, it's awesomely wicked and cute. Always great humor and style, Boots!

Re: Steamrolled

I sent this to you in a PM, after I decided I should have posted it here... lol

Anyway, just noticed that one of the art directors/artists for God of War III, Izzy, had on your Apathy Coalition shirt during a panel discussion/signing... You're famous Bootsie!

I just replied to your PM and then I thought I should reply here too. My PM was basically this:

Woohoo!
You're the best for showing me!
Yowza!

Haha, you're welcome! I had to do a double-take when I was reading the article

Also, I totally forgot to thank you for People-Go-Round printing at RIPT. So, er, thanks! (It has occurred that it possibly might not have been because of me that this printed, but I like to think otherwise)

100% Because of you! So... thank YOU. It turned out well, I thought.

BootsBoots wrote:100% Because of you! So... thank YOU. It turned out well, I thought.

aww, shucks... I thought so as well, and I've worn it twice since I've gotten it. (which is saying a lot, considering my vast collection of t-shirts)
