Re: The Family Jules
The Family Jules.
1 color on black.
Mashup of the family of work by Jules Verne which includes: A Journey to the Centre of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days and The Mysterious Island.
very cool although something about the face seems odd.

i think it's the nose. it seems like it's pointing in a slightly different direction.
the design looks great though. very creepy.
Re: The Family Jules
Goodness. Classical literature in a classical style. And classic skirochester!
Re: The Family Jules
It's kinda cool, but it's also incredibly faint. I'm not sure I trust the shirt to still look like that after a few washes, especially since none of the lines appear terribly solid/crisp.
Re: The Family Jules
This is just beautiful. I think it makes a better poster or print than a shirt, but it's gorgeous.
Re: The Family Jules
I'm no expert on shirt printing by any means, but from what I've gathered by looking at other shirts in other derbies, don't the details of this seem a bit too fine to print very well?
Re: The Family Jules
thanks for the votes & feedback. The drawing was converted to halftones and should print fine. I'll post a close up this weekend. I wanted the style of the design to have that classic, hand-drawn feel. So I put away the tablet and got out the pencil and paper for this one.
Re: The Family Jules
I hit the 'I want one' button like the fist of an angry god.
Re: The Family Jules
BRAVA! You deserve to take a bow for this one. I really hope this prints well.
Sorry, this is great artwork, but not a great tshirt design. Something just bothers me about wearing a huge face on my chest. Make me look like I'm double headed or something.
Re: The Family Jules
Awesome design, Kudos to you sir

I agree, doesn't stop me from loving the design, but seems like it would lose a lot in translation to fabric, halftones or no. I would buy a giclee print of this.

Yesss! That would work great. The fine line detail and small halftones just might not translate well to fabric. Doesn't' mean I won't buy it if it wins - I definitely will! And hope it prints well. If not, it'll still be a cool shirt, and I can look for you to print it elsewhere for me to hang.

I can totally tell this came from a traditional pencil sketch, which is awesome. The delicate tones and shaded carried over very nicely, and the composition is great.

Maybe its the tentacle beard?
Re: The Family Jules
Wow. That's beautiful.
Re: The Family Jules
They never use a hot air balloon in Around the World in 80 days. Not in Jules Verne's book atleast. That was adapted for the movie.
In all, I do like the drawing, but I'm just one for accuracy.

Ah, but there is a hot air balloon in: The Mysterious Island.
No one ever said there was a hot air balloon in Around the World in 80 days. You must have assumed that on your own.
Re: The Family Jules
To have Mashed the "I'd want" button any faster I'd have needed a time machine (but that's hg wells, so I wasn't going to find one on this shirt)

lol! You are right, I did assume that the Mysterious Island in the picture was for The Mysterious Island novel and that the hot air balloon was mistakenly included for Around the World in 80 days. But you are right, I did assume. I will do better next time.
