"Outfoxed"

That poor arctic fox has meet his match.

I always find it fascinating how animals deal with a harsh and dangerous environment and not only live but thrive.

I like the flow of the fox, but i felt like the bunny are a bit contrasting (details wise) compare to the fox. I like the idea though

Clever. I like the expressions

Edison Plays Dirty STAFF: Well, I tried. Looks like the image won't stay until you buy something. Still, please don't post your derby entry in the body of posts.

industrious little bunnies. I wonder if having a little blowtorch in the cave may add a bit more depth to the story as to how they made this ice monster fox. its not needed just a thought. Well done as always!

Aww, look at those little hares using the frozen corpse of an Arctic wolf, its face frozen in a horrible rictus of death, as their home! That's just so snuggly!

It's like the opposite of your "Unexpected Error" design!

It's cute, it's got a fox, and it works. And even though it has Oh my! Frosty's gallavanting! MORE BUNNIES ON SHIRT.WOOT, it makes sense and it still feels original.

I don't quite like the way the fox's mouth is drawn though. It just looks... off. Unnatural, even for a cartoon mouth.

Otherwise, got my vote.

Re: Outfoxed

I don't quite understand how it suits the theme... but I dunno if I quite understand the theme anyways.

That said... wow, its freakin cute, I'd vote if... you know, I could.

I like it. Good stuff. Favorite part is the confidant bunny standing outside.

Re: Outfoxed


Wooohoo, thanks everyone for the nice comments and votes...

@megsck, Spiritgreen, amreli, dgshinkle, lucky1988, walmazan - Yay thanks so much, I'm glad people like this one. Sometimes I stare at the design so long after I finish coloring it that I no longer know if I've done something good or created a horrible monster.

@nguyenlp - You do have a point on the bunnies. I could say I was try to bring focus to them by leaving them simple in a sea of more complex pieces but aside from that being a total lie... I think I just got carried away with the coloring on the giant ice fox and the bunnies were so small I didn't remember to fancy them up. LOL.

@avhienda01, hashimotoyoshio - That smug little bunny there is just waiting for some one to call it's buff so it can hit the special switch that breaks the ice fox's head onto them.

@midgerock - A blowtorch would be awesome, also a chainsaw(good for carving ice) and an ice pick... suddenly the bunnies seems way more unsettling.

@kbloomq1 - HA HA HA, I like how you think. I tried my very hardest to make the ice/snow sculpture look like an awesome monster fox but in the end I had to admit making a fox bigger and more scary only makes it seem like a wolf.

@homestarrunner21 - LOL you're right it's liked a flip of that shirt. Ice instead of fire and it's protecting instead of destroying.

@Bandrik - Thanks for pointed out the mouth... I notice I have a tough time getting certain expressions to work for people. It varies from person to person as to which expressions, LOL, but it's always good to know when it doesn't quite seem right. I'm glad this still seems fresh even with the dreaded bunniesssss. I think it helps that they aren't the focus of the image.

@lintor - Yeah these types of "I love X" derbies always need a bit more explaining unless it's just "I love bunnies and foxes." which I guess I could use. But I was trying to center my shirt around the idea that animals are really amazing at finding ways to live in very harsh and hostile environments like the arctic. So, I wanted to make a fun shirt exploring how over the top resourceful the animals could be, if you know they had power tools and an ice carving/snow sculpting class.
