Re: Moonshadow Dragon

Very good job, love the monochrome.

I really like this idea, but I'm still counting like 9 or 10 colors...

drop the hate people

So, all critics just enjoy hurting others? That has to be the most hateful thing said on this thread. Please, drop the general-isms and the hate, Mrspott People who aren't afraid to express opinions and perform critical analysis are people too, you know. Really, such hatred of others has no place on this site, and it's completely off topic.

Also, if every critical comment someone made was positive, then his comments aren't "critical." They are these things called "complements." There's a significant difference between being able to critique a design honestly, and giving only positive "critiques."

Re: The Ancient Chinese Raggon

This is likely not meant as a parody, but I'm rather tired of all the dragon shirts (even the well drawn ones). I see this as a nice subversion. Evokes feelings of "three lolcat moon" or whatever that parody is called to me. Not a fan of heather gray, but it works with this shirt, and the line art is well done.

It is like a chinese kanji. Like you did a big chinese character on your tee. The abstraction helps on this...

Re: Zodiac Compatibility

I'm cracking up at the rooster and rabbit facing off. I'm a rooster, and my husband is a rabbit ...

jasneko wrote:A handy dandy shirt to know which zodiac animals are safe, and which aren't.

i.e. "Monkeys are advised to stay away from Tigers and find solace in Dragons or Rats. "

"A Snake is best with the Rooster and Ox, while it hates the Pigs."

"Good friends of the Rabbit are Sheep and Pigs; but Roosters are not on a Rabbit's list of buddies."

Feedback and votes appreciated, thanks!

Eek, poor rooster, they are compatible with the snake, that is until the snake eats him.

Re: Zodicon

This is very cool! I want one.

Re: Zodiac Kung fu

Is that a woot color shirt? It looks quite light.

Re: The Ancient Chinese Raggon

I'm disappointed enough to see this out of the fog that I actually took back my vote from two of the shirts above it. Doubt it will help this see a print though.

The up-side ... another $10 that will remain in my bank account this weekend.

Re: Sullen

he made a dragon that looks like a koi fish...koi koi koi

Re: Celebrate the Swine

YES!

Re: Year of the Tiger

you could shape the splatters of black into the other animals of the chinese calendar.

Re: Sullen

Beautifully done artwork, but I'm already partial to the pencil-sketch look as it is =)
I don't think this will come off very well on a tshirt, but as an art print I would definitely be down for one of those.

Re: Calligraphic Zodiac

Damn - the rat looks like a platypus. Otherwise, though, LOVE this design and would wear one.

haha sorry for the pokemon reference but thats the first thought I got after seeing this. I really like your idea and execution for this though. I had no idea that 2012 was both Dragon and Water, so your design actually taught me something.

LOL

Very nice colour execution btw!

Re: The Usual Suspects ala Zodiac

I don't think the thumbnail is helping this. I love the graphics and colors...

They're using American Apparel tees just like woot does (the switched to another kind for awhile, but I'm pretty sure they're AA again now). The print's always good (or in some cases where there have been mistakes, they're reprinted and sent the reprint to everyone who bought one for free).

Re: LOUD

The Monday morning meeting or appointment or whatever is running late today. Usually this would have the stamp of disapproval by now.

Re: Twin Dragons

I got a lot of good laughs out of the "debates" on this thread! Though I usually do from any of Ramy's submissions... I don't get it, can't people just VOTE and move on? It's like none of you have lives, jobs, etc.

I didn't vote for this submission - I think the glowiness of the lines is a very cool print effect that I wish more artists could incorporate as a decorative element, though NOT as the focus, in their shirt designs. Also, the dragons' faces more resemble those of a dog (a wolf perhaps) than they do of the oriental dragon.

But wait - maybe these are LUCK DRAGONS.

stophe22 wrote:I can't believe this is not killing it. Great concept and nice execution.

10-1 odds that three dragon shirts win that are just variations on the millions of other Chinese dragon t-shirts on the internet.

So say we all.

This is exactly why the cylons attacked the colonies. Mankind was ignoring the message of the one true Zodiac in favor of false idols. J/k, a LOT of them up there deserve to be there... and who knows, if this shirt gets shot down, it might just download and reawaken in a different derby.

Re: Nacho Goat!

This should be back in to the fog!

HalfWheat wrote:I like that the dragon face is unique. It's obviously still a dragon, but it's not like you've already seen it a million times.

Thanks for noticing! I really wanted to capture the basic characteristics of the Chinese dragon without making it look like the Chinese dragon that is seen in every tattoo parlor in the world--from the dog style nose to the antlers and facial hair. I do see how it could look a little like a coyote face but if you look at most Chinese dragons they have similar characteristics of a dog's or bear's face. I also didn't want it to look like Falcore from the never ending story so I made the nose smaller and the snout longer than most Chinese representations.

Thanks for the votes and the comments. And I am glad that it is being enjoyed!

Your missing the monkey, fool!

Re: 2012: A Collision of Calendars

This is the only one in the fog right now that I'd like to see printed.

Nice work.

Mandarin Hat , Tiger, Wings

No, it is a thin line in the "frame" of the picture. I'ts hard to see in the mock-up of the shirt.

The monkey is there, he's between the rooster and goat.

ATRREEEEEYYUUUU!!

Dragons are portrayed with these kinds of faces in some cultures. If you've seen Spirited Away, these look a lot like Haku's dragon form.

Re: Imaginary

I feel this shirt violates the "show, don't tell" rule here.

Which is something I find a lot of people on Chopped do, but that's unrelated.

Schlagwerk wrote:This is the only one in the fog right now that I'd like to see printed.

Nice work.

I agree. And yes, the dragon looks like Wiley Cayote or the Grinch's dog Max in the face, but I would still want to wear this shirt. It's cool and it "says" something.

Mrs Poot has a point, I'm afraid. For example, if I remember correctly, a member stated here once that they were intentionally launching a character assault on me. It was an admitted personal thing, nothing about my art. People routinely take personal jabs at others here, as opposed to actually critting artwork properly. How is that not hurtful, both personally and professionally? None of us even know eachother :/.

Also, it is perfectly easy to make an honest critique without being a jerk. Most people just don't know how to do it or don't want to do it, because it's effort. It's a lot easier to just to point out everything bad and leave.

Oh god, agreeing with everybody else. WHHY is this out of the fog, NOOOOOOO~~~ *flails arms*

Re: Zodiac Wheel

This was exactly the kind of design I was looking for. Pleasantly surprised with the Ferris wheel. Nice work.

Hehe and do you find yourselves facing off like that?;)

It does seem like a strange combination! Some seem to make more sense than others;)

I was thinking more Falkor ... Not that I'd mind wearing a luck dragon on a t-shirt but whatever. lol

You knew what I was talking about, at least!
P.S. I have not seen Spirited Away.

Re: LOUD

The blue circle looks like a slightly modified version of the "Laughing man" logo from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone complex. Hell I'm pretty positive it says the same thing that the logo says around the border.

Judge for yourself.

Re: Smiley Zodiac

Like the design. Hate the color.

I'm afraid you're right about the thumbnail, it looked much better, all alone, on my computer screen. I'm glad you like the shirt design. Thanks for commenting.

Re: Zodiac Compatibility

Nice work. Good luck with this.
