I love turtles and the TMNT, but this is ridicules to try and say TMNT is part of India in any way...



Not saying that at all, but I wouldn't exclude them from enjoying TMNT as much as the next culture.

What happened to his nose?

I like the tiger and the simplicity of the outlines, but the nose thing kills it for me. :[

Beautiful work, but did the books put all the animals to sleep? And don't snakes, nowadays, use iPads?

Re: Barrel O' Elephants



What's more fun than a barrel o' monkeys? A barrel of elephants of course. You can't fit so many elephants in a barrel though.

Oh my god. This shirt is freaking adorable and I would wear it every single day if I could get it. PLEASE keep us updated on if you print it elsewhere, if it doesn't win this derby!

Nice to see a well-illustrated pun. AND, it can stand on its own, without the pun and/or without the Derby.
Nice!



Thanks! I just could not resist the imagery. It was really fun to draw, it took longer than I wanted, but I am happy with the results.

like this guy?

this is really nice bass, i love the character, the color, and most importantly, the RATTIES! really well done, your stuff just keeps getting better and better with every submission!

also, i too share your struggle with line perfection. its an ongoing battle and i often sit and watch others with their awesome drawings with messy lines and wish i could do the same. maybe we should start a 12 step program?

Re: Break Free



i think this is lovely, i really like the treatment on the hair. maybe most people are making a quick judgement because thats what they love to do, but to me i see that the building in the back isn't a building at all, its a carousel, an obviously Indian themed carousel, and this intricately detail horse, which is also a staple of Indian art and fashion is escaping from it. it doesn't have to be hit you over the head Indian for it to have to do with India. this shirt is perfect for someone who loves the art, but maybe didn't want to wear something too overly Indian. its the artist interpretation, that is what artists do.

Thanks! I feel really bad admitting it, but I love this kind of stuff. It's built into my girl genes I think. ^^;;

I tell you, I almost feel like I need to be slapped for my obsession with clean lines. I don't know what it is, but ever since I was little bitty, I wanted my art to be 'clean'. I think that's what I like animation art, anime specifically. I love the lines. (stares at new Thundercats art on desktop..oohhh so clean -paw paw-)

I was watching Youtube videos on digital painting, and they're so messy but it still looks so good! I r not undrstand?!? I need to break my line habits though, as I feel it's stunting me a bit. (struggles to break 30 yr old habits)

I love this! Pink is my favorite color and this just just beautiful on top of that! And the placement wouldn't be bad if it were moved down but I like it where it is now.

Re: Under My Umbrella



In terms of generic advice...most artists try to avoid large areas of ink. It tends to make the fabric stiff, and reduces the appeal of the design. I also prefer designs that really take advantage of the color of the tee, either in setting the mood, or in supporting the design (for example, if this were on light blue, with dark blue to make the contrast and make the rain).

Think about the audience too--tee art is not always something that's going to look good on a wall. It's something that's going to be on a body, so won't have a flat display. That's important in terms of placement of the design. Personal preference--side prints make me feel off balance. Long prints tend to be hidden by the curves of lady lumps. A design that has levels--ie, a quick glance should be enough to 'get' the shirt, while a longer look reveals interesting details.
