Ahh... way before my time. I'm down for the series though

Re: Lost in Nightmares

I love love love this design. This has to print! I neeeeeeeeed a classic Drakxx/CD horrorish shirt for my collection. I didn't get a Halloween one this year, so I command all wooters to vote for this. Follow my lead, I clearly am awesome!

Okay maybe a bit too enthusiastic but hey, it's a cool shirt.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

Who's this "Crescentbris" guy whose name appears on the comp?

Re: Lost in Nightmares

Draxxx and Crescent Debris, I love seeing your collabs. Draxxx brings that dark mystery to the designs, and Debris has a beed on what colors will make the nightmare come to life.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

The balloon is actually what does it for me with this one. I love it. Draws your eyes right to it first and you think "Hey, what a lovely balloon", which promptly turns into "W T H".

Re: Lost in Nightmares

awesome composition and collab!

Re: Lost in Nightmares

When ever I think of the word "amusement park" the cover or the Goosebumps book "One Day at Horrorland" cover art, which I read as a kid always comes to mind. I was hoping someone would sort of play off that theme in this derby. So far, this is the only shirt I would buy. You got my vote.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

This is stunning work- it has exactly the right colors to create the perfect tone/atmosphere to all the creepy-neat visuals. GMV, I wish I could vote for this twice.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

I see you in there!

Re: Lost in Nightmares

really like the design here, and it goes great on cranberry! i wouldn't mind having this as a shirt :P

Re: Lost in Nightmares

wicked!!!!!!

Re: Lost in Nightmares

I have to say that I'm disappointed in this entry. I've been hoping to see more in this style, but not a replica.

I already own "Nightmare Circus", which seemed to have much more effort put into it. (No offense! I love Drakxxx and CrescentDebris, but this just doesn't look as finished as the other.)

Re: Lost in Nightmares

i can always count on your guys to give me a sinister submission =) looks great, i would definitely go into that tent!

this way comes.

For some unknown reason, this really reminds me of that movie "We're Back"

Re: Lost in Nightmares

Re: Lost in Nightmares

Mm, this design is wicked. I love it! Awesome job and very nice touch with the balloon. :D

Re: Lost in Nightmares

I like how the entrance is highlighted with yellow. It really draws the eye there and the kids running in is the best part (I think, anyway).

I don't really understand how the gray color is suppose to function in this image. The values seems mixed up...

i saw the theme and immediately started looking for the draxxs/CrescentDebris colab. well done!

Beat me to it. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this design, as well.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

...This is awesome. I just got a shirt from Woot! in the mail, and I hate to buy a bazillion shirts in like, a week, but... I may have to buy this. Amazing colors, amazing design, amazing detail, great concept. Yeah. This is fantastic.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

That is one awesomely creepy balloon. I would like it please. That is all

Drakxxx thought it was unfair that everyone spells my name right but calls him "Draxxx" or "drakxx" or "drax" or "draxxs"... so he sabotaged the comp for his own personal gain. Or it's a typo.

Why does Akirahateus?

j5 wrote:Something wicked this way comes.

Maybe a Drakxxx favorite. I don't know. I missed that one as a kid I guess. It's tough to come up with something that doesn't look at least a bit like something else these day, but I will agree it does have some commonalities. Too bad he doesn't have a balloon or a hand full of people... then he's be cooler.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

Something bout the dude's expression and his epic hat makes my cursor move towards the I'd Want One button. Looks like this one wasn't as under-appreciated as your stuff usually is. Finally!

Re: Lost in Nightmares

I missed Nightmare Circus so I'm really, REALLY hoping this one prints!!

Reminds me a bit of this, also:

Something Wicked This Way Comes (book and film)is a definite inspiration for all these horror / carnival illustrations I've done.

Though I didn't think of the ultra violent thug get-up from A Clockwork Orange for this piece, I am a big fan of all things Clockwork and certainly A Clockwork Orange.

Big thanks to Mister Debris again this week for hitting this with an amazing color palette that really drove home the subdued waking nightmare atmosphere I had in mind when i did the illustration.

Thanks for the support this week everyone. You guys are the best.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

Dang, you guys are an unstoppable force.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

I wish your shirts were more to my style where I would actually buy them, that aside, you two always produce top notch work.

This is the only shirt I would buy out of the fog, I really hope it gets printed!

ETA: I meant the Lost in Nightmares one, looks like the quote didn't make it through.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

I know I've gotten on you guys before about over-designing beautiful poster-worthy shirts that I would never wear. But I have to say that this one is spot on. Enough of your impeccable attention to detail to still be you, but minimal enough to look good on a shirt. Beautiful.

Re: Lost in Nightmares

pretty awesome

Hope this prints. If it does, I will buy and wear proudly.
Suggestion - the yellow/white flash coloring appears to be in front of the maw/doorway, not coming from it. I note this late so as to hopefully not detract from votes. But it's a concern you all need to work on.
