Poe is back.
And he isn't happy.

Writers are people too! (Albeit strange ones.)
Save Poe! Reckon Nevermore! Or he'll be head-locked forevermore!

Again, the perfect combo of Draxxx artistry and electric crescentdebris colors. Awesome.

Gorgeous work you two! Y'all are like the unstoppable duo! Wonder Twins, power of Awesome! I really love this, and Im not very versed on Poe. This is my favorite color scheme too. I love it, spectacular work guys.

This is way too good. I'm not a fan at all of wearing people on my shirts, but I think I'd have to make an exception to that rule for this one.

Hmm reminds me of the Naruto episodes with Itachi where he dissolves into ravens. In fact, this looks like his Tsukuyomi too! But so awesome! GMV!

Thanks for the compliments! Yay we're back! All I knew from the start of coloring was "Don't use Asphalt" because I've used that on at least 3 collabs. The "statue" look sort of came about because I was going to go back to the skin tone later once I saw what colors I had left. I liked the look so I just ran with it.
Even though these entries turn out nice and get praised, at the start sometimes it's a challenge. There's always a bit of weight on my shoulders when Drakxxx previews awesome lineart and I read "This will be awesome WITH THE RIGHT COLORS!" So far at least, it seems I haven't fouled it up. Thanks again... and be kind to my solo entry in my sig if you would.

Re: Madness: Terrible Sanity
This one might be my favorite ever from either/both of you. I love Poe, love the ravens and pendulum, blue and black are my favorite colors, I love all the little details, and for once the "drippy" parts don't annoy me because it's clearly blood on the blade!!
I must have this, seriously. I need more blue shirts. No more asphalt!

Re: Madness: Terrible Sanity
Wow! Amazing work!
this could well have won the madness derby, and it might win this one too...
excellent color and tone work! you dont see many good shirts on blue.
well done!

Drakxxx, don't pressure your wonderful color muse! Give 'em a cookie now and then! :D

Re: Madness: Terrible Sanity
Great design as usual, and the color work holds it's own as well. Drax's shirt designs aren't normally my taste in "things to wear on a t-shirt" but are all definitely good works. This one is a bit more wearable for me (I like my shirts to be less 'busy') I just don't like the overall shape of the design (seems more of the designs 'weight' is on the bottom) again, just my personal opinion
GL to you both, and nice artwork overall

Forgot to add before, kudos on avoiding a black shirt on this one. The blue makes it stand out. Black shirts are way overdone IMO ^^

Draxxx, your designs scare me. Mind you I have Nightmare Circus because they scare me but are awesome.
This collab is no different. And I love Poe. Kudos to both of you.

Re: Madness: Terrible Sanity
It's an amazing design, but the blue I'm not a huge fan of. Hope it wins, it deserves it, but won't be buying. :/

Yeah. I should have made the line art out of The Narrative of Sir Arthur Gordon Pym.

This is another example that shows that I no longer have any idea what wooters will vote/not vote for anymore. It's a mystery.

Like the artists said themselves, if they either made it out of text, or put "POE LIVES!" in really big, gaudy Gothic letters at the bottom, it would still be up there.

And if we did have an idea, we'd probably get bored as artists 'round here

I would so buy that in multiples.
Thanks for resisting the easy choices of printing it on red or black. The blue is classy.

Re: Madness: Terrible Sanity
Madness is the only explanation I can think of to explain why this isn't still in the fog. It's some very great work, and I wish it would win!

And this was the shirt I wanted... wow, so many derby winners just not producing anything I want.
