Re: A Walk In The Park

All these positive comments are appreciated. I'm glad that both the idea and the design are getting recognised. Take one or the other away and it would be like a hippo running without a rhino.

Re: Free Ranged Barrel Monkeys

Barrel of monkeys=cute
Explosive hole in my chest=Not so much.

Re: Impressing the Ladies

I LOVE this. I'm very sad it's not getting more votes. Boo on that. But, I agree with your assessment that you draw cars better than people, this is wonderful!

Re: Lapwing sunset

Great work on all the details. That looks like a lot of work.

Re: Green Tree Frog

Wow, all that with only 6.... thousand colors!

Re: Pink Safari (resub)

This reminds me when Dumbo gets drunk!

Re: Afraid of the Dark

Great work like always!

That was my inspiration! :-D

Thanks for sharing your interpretation.

Very simple...colorful African birds mocking guys in pith helmets on safari in their African jungle.

Re: Impressing the Ladies

I really like this too! And I agree I hate drawing people...especially hands!

Re: Pink Safari (resub)

Yeah I definitely have the Dumbo Song going through my head now...

Re: Afraid of the Dark

Vote this monkey up!

I see it as a no-brainer HM too.

Re: Spotless

such an awesome shirt!!

Re: The Happy Hippo

I would've love this on the bottom of the shirt.

Re: Bad Call Zebra

Can WE get this for the sport of volleyball, show a court with a net, a volleyball and instead of a yellow flag.. show a yellow card or a yellow card & a red card together (Ejection)..
I know several volleyball officials, including myself that would buy this shirt.
thanks

Except Disney ripped the character/story off the Japanese show Simba the White Lion....

Re: Main Attraction

I'm actually surprised there aren't more Aslan-inspired/reminiscent designs this derby. I thought that was a no-brainer as much as Lion King.
I suppose it's true that sallow-skinned folks would look rather peaked in lemon, but I love the color. It really works for a lion, and for this design. I might have used the ochre shade for the pupils, but otherwise, no crits at all.

It's obvious the artist used references in designing this. The level of detail is too exact for someone to go off memory alone. But it's not a copy, it's a reinterpretation and drawn composite of several photos (as linked by the artist) into a unique idea. As far as I know that's within the rules. None of these are "elements created and/or owned by someone other than the designer." Technically the reference photo for the eye is copyrighted, but the artist did not copy it. Google "lion eye," and you'll find dozens of photos of lion's eyes that look similar to what is here. Same with giraffes, and acacia trees.

I was under the impression that in the cartoon world...you could pretty much wrap your tail around anything!

Great job on the peice!!!

Re: Lilac Breasted Roller

Ummm where can I buy this?? I love it.

Wow! My first Best Loser Award! Thanks, Robert. I will cherish it always!

Re: The Vacation King

The concept is adorable. I will have to remember to do that if I'm ever in such a place

Thanks. I was in a hurry to get this up and messed up the closeup. Didn't notice the issues in the hair until too late.

Re: Afraid of the Dark

WOO! PUMPKINS! I need this shirt. It is the cutest EVER!!!!

Pumpkins?? How did Oh My God turn to pumpkins?

I think it's hilarious! +1 for me (and not for the cuteness).

haha. I like pumpkins as much as the next guy, but I was definitely confused too.

Amazing work!

Yeah, I don't really care all that much, I didn't even tattle, but I have seen lesser transgressions meet the iron fist of the rejectionator with extreme prejudice.

This is on track to print Friday at any rate.
