Ummmm...speaking of...can I make it my Facebook profile picture in October? I'll totally credit and link back here, of course.

I'd say he looks more like he could be a certain infamous resident of Arkham Asylum. (Not the video game, of course, because that would be against the rules!)

Maybe it's just the colour palette ... ?

my mind totally went there as well. but i like the chubby bear anyway.

Re: Tofu, Bread, and Fuel?

Our harvested crops supply us with all sorts of goods. Some of the best are the renewable energy sources which are better than sliced bread and much cooler than tofu!

Re: I am a Pineapple Harvesting Bear

Strictly zoologically speaking, shouldn't this be a spectacled bear (from South America)? (I only say this 'cos in a previous job, I fed frozen pineapples to spectacled bears in Summer)

Re: Harvest Traditions

!!! So cute. +++++1

Re: Harvest Guardian

I love the design on cranberry. The feathers add great perspective, but I'm not loving the outlining on the ones outside the main design. Great style!

Re: Ghost Harvesters

i like this one!!! it looks like a cross between venkman and spengler!! GMV!

Re: Oh so Low Harvest Moon, oh baby!

I'll take a look at the entry you mentioned, as I haven't seen it, or at least the name doesn't sound familiar. I drew the moon first, and worked out the palette, a good friend suggested I silhouette wheat, in a rather symmetrical formation, but I decided on a stylized corn stalk with a vanishing point beyond the horizon. If that's what the other design is, then I must be channeling some other dude from some other place. If that's the case, whoa!

Now cut that out. I don't believe in ghosts, I don't believe in ghosts, I don't believe in ghosts.

The nuts of it is, I worked hard on this design. I hope you like it. It was born in my mind, and inspired with my good friend. If that ain't the blood, sweat and tears of it, the I'll eat my keyboard.

Peace, baby, peace!

Gorgeous design mixed with a beautiful background. WTG GMV!

Re: Harvest Traditions

so i like the illustrations a lot, but i dont think i'd buy one...it's just to creepy cute for me...

GMV though!

Re: Scareperson

I'd buy this in a heartbeat.
Voted and best of luck.

Re: Scareperson

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This one is really scary. Even scarier than She Never Sleeps.

Re: Harvest Traditions

Of course little death doesn't want to touch the turtle... it's loaded with Salmonella!

Gamera is really neat- Gamera is full of meat!

Re: Harvest Traditions

Aww! I feel kind of bad for the little reaper. And the turtle, of course.

Re: Blue Harvester

This totally reminds me of Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007) poster.

re: harvest traditions

When can I buy one!?

I disagree about the "too close" to that previous "graveyard" design, otherwise any design with a silhouette against any light source (reflective or otherwise) will be doomed as being "too close." No more sun shots. You're entitled to your opinion, but I take exception to it.

I defend this design as original, unique, wearable, and it would make a great gift for anyone, of any age.

Peace, baby, peace!

Great line-work as always! Not a fan of the horror/Halloween genre, but the skills are fantastic!

I don't think the moon is forced at all, it firmly sets the scene at night, which is exactly when this sort of thing is at it's creepiest. It's not on a black or navy shirt, so the moon makes it clear even on green.

Re: Blue Harvester

For some reason, the guy looks like Charlie Manson to me?

Re: Botany 101

very clever. gmv

Re: Tofu, Bread, and Fuel?

Hieratic and didactic - but would have been nicer (and, indeed, more obviously Green) on a green, I think.

Re: Organ Harvest

Great, but it seems a little too close to the original design to be in the clear as far as copyright goes.

I'm not an expert, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this one come down...

Re: The Cat: Harvester of Hearts

cute. A heart harvester, huh? Sounds like a good Robin Cook novel.

Re: Oh so Low Harvest Moon, oh baby!

Your design and choice of colors are beautiful. It bugs me when people say "oh, this shirt looks like too much like this shirt", when the only similarity is that it has a moon. Hope it prints - GMV!

Re: Sky Harvest

No doubt about the harvest-ness of this design. Very elegant.

Re: Harvest Festival

wow, nice illo!

Re: Harvest Moon

I thought he was, you know, taking a whiz, since the shirt covers the sickle. Was that by design? Regardless, I laughed.

hehe there is usually some method to madness!

Hey thanks, it's nice to know it grew on you! Perhaps he should go vegan - I don't know what his options are if he is going to get attached to all the live prey...

imsochady wrote:Or just eat Yodal's squirrel, and spare the mice. Hahah, evil! Nice work.

I don't know if he has it in him to do that!
Hehe, thanks.

Re: Scareperson

Your stuff keeps getting better and better. Keep it up!

Re: A Fair Trade

I really admire the work you did here, it's very nice. Who did harvest the ear?

Thanks for your vote and your voice. Both are very much appreciated.

Re: Harvest Traditions

Really like the shirt. My 16 yr son loves to wear these first impression cute, second impression twisted shirts.

Thanks for not making it a stinkin bunny!!

I tried it on the greens, but the plants were washed out; they stand out better on the brown. (and it's still earthy!) :D

That's so funny, that's exactly what I said when I finished drawing it. I didn't have him or the halloween poster in mind when i finished but it ended up as charlie myers i guess. :p

I definitely understand the reason for the moon. I just think it adds an unnecessary element. The crows stand out much better without and keep the mood dark. I'm not saying I dislike the design, just like it better without the moon... ;) Great job, Joel!

Re: Harvest Guardian

Great illustration. Nice framing. Very intimidating. I'd buy this for a certain person I know. gj

Re: Scareperson

Another great design, Drakxxx. And another early fog. Here's hoping it sticks around for good for once.

It seems to paraody the actual game enough to be safe. I however am also not an expert. I was just wondering why there wasn't a seedy Mexican hotel background. The tub of ice is priceless.
