Re: Luau Fire

Really great work Sokowa. In for at least one when this wins.

Re: (Title eaten by giant fruit.)

I love this! The guy peaking out behind the hut is great.

Too bad it's on cream. Ugh cream.

I am SO excited about this design. Not only does it have KLS involvement, but it is pink and orange (my favorite colors) - oh, with red a close third - AND there are hibiscus in it.

I can only hope that everyone else loves it as much as I do!!

Thanks Molli. I have to say Toe had 100% control over the coloring of the design and he did a fabulous job. I think he was able to get a retro-Hawaii feel with the colors. I was blown away when he sent the picture to me late last night.

In case it's not totally apparent, the Luau girl is resting on blades of grass like a grass skirt. She's wrapped in a Hawaiian dress and the backdrop is supposed to represent a large clamshell. Hibscus-esque petals were placed behind here almost to make her look like a fairy. There are other details as well, but probably don't need explanation.

Thanks again for the vote. I'm excited to see what Toe does with the other sketch. Can hardly wait!

I like this on a lot too, you're just on fire this week huh? :P By the way, is that quote from a Far Side cartoon? Ha-ha! I love Gary Larson.

She looks like a spy in an old movie - that classic, nonplussed "whatever, you're going to die now" look.
I love it.

Re: (Title eaten by giant fruit.)

Funny! GMV. Thanks for the laugh!

Re: Liquid Hibiscus

Originality takes the lead once more. :P

Might not appeal to everyone.. but i tend to try and do stuff that appeals to myself. I can't figure out the crowd here yet. i'm working on it though.

Re: Polynesian Mermaid

it's a beautiful illustration. i couldn't wear this, but it's quite incredible

Re: Luau Fire

swirly fire and reflections, this has it all! GMV

Re: Liquid Hibiscus

hahaha, I was literally seconds away from doing this type of design, but then I couldn't live with myself afterward. That's just me though.

Re: Tiki Gods Bless This Limbo Pole

Oh wow this is really nice. Limbo is something you don't immediately think of and that makes it even better.

Re: Hot Tropic

Exactly what I was going to say. Great choice of style Sokowa.

Re: Sometimes I explode, and I don't know why.

hehe, I have that same problem ;)

Reminds me of The Curse of Monkey Island.

Re: Polynesian Mermaid

Beautiful drawing.

Re: Tiki Face

I love this shirt! Very nice use of the shirt color to make the image. Way freakin cool.

i disagree, it looks good to me. I like the wood grain.

Re: Beautiful Disaster

thanks!

Re: Liquid Hibiscus

This is literally the same flower copy/pasted 5 times. Why is this getting votes?

Re: Tiki Dancer

Wasn't going to submit anything this derby because I didn't have time, but I managed to put something together during my lunch break at work today! Enjoy! And as always, Have a great weekend!

Re: Tiki Beast from 50 Fathoms

It is cool, kind of reminds me of this laughing squid ad, but if the squid was underwater.

Thank you both for responding. I feel better now and can vote for this without reservations.

really? it seems very generic too me. If I wanted something like this I'm sure I could get it from Ocean Pacific. And I stopped wearing OP back in high school - 10 years ago
