I meant that as a reply to Kriby17 about the positioning. And truth be told, I somehow would prefer a central placement from an aesthetic point of view.

Thank you both! I've never seen The Simpsons and missed the reference entirely, but it certainly explains why the coloring and design of the donut are reminiscent of other donut designs! I've edited my original comment.

Gasp! Never seen the Simpsons? EVER?! I'm tempted to just start firing off Simpsons quotes right now... but I'll put forth every attempt to keep this thread on-topic...

I hear that's going to be the next woot site.

Heh. pokies.

Re: Escher Fruits

I'm really loving the colors in this design. They're so rich. Nice job, Harzack!

it's a perfectly cromulent design.

One which embiggens the smallest mind.

Hey, I'm brand spanking new! It took me over a year to get the guts up to submit.

It took me forever to figure it all out causing me to submit late. Please vote for Skater's Paradise just to give a new-comer a little encouragement.

Great work everyone! Keep it up!

Re: Skater's Paradise

This is really cool, and nice and clean looking. I look forward to more from you.

Re: Fish And Whale (V2)

Yay! This looks great

For Moebius Mouse!

Good idea! His super power is only being able to see one side of an issue. I think I might know Moebius Mouse's true identity now that I think about it.

Haha, I didn't even notice that at the bottom. The fluid cousin is much better than its other cousin, Francis. That guy really needs to get a life.

Thanks again for the nice comments everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing how all this turns out!

Re: Light

Very cool!

Tony Hawk needed a squid level!

Yay for Weeble Ninjas...

Whimsy, thy name is Kleinefant.

Re: Platonic Love

This shirt blows my mind!

And I have to say that I think it's a simpler, cleaner look without the numbers. I think anyone familiar with dice-based games will still make the connection, but now anyone can appreciate (and buy!) it.

Re: Light

This is fantastic.

Re: Chess-scher

The perspective on this makes my head hurt. Really well done design.

Re: Striped Tiger

Thanks a lot Wences, kharmazero, Qetza, appreciated guys! (o;

Re: Platonic Love

So nice!

Re: Escher Fruits

Amazing work!

Re: A Fox Among Rabbits

Adorable. I love it!

Re: Restructure

Here is an attempt on summoning an Escher piece that doesn't rely on any preestablished Escherisms...

Hope you like it!

You know, looking back at the version with numbers, I have to agree. Serendipity, I suppose.

And thanks, Expo!

I really like this personal expression type stuff. It's been cool to see you develop your style over the months here.

Thanks man! That means a lot to me. I feel like I've been playing battleship trying to find what hits... hehe

Also Marble Madness, so much love for it.

Re: Escher's Jail RESUB

amazing

Mavyn wrote:But that means the frosting just ends partway. It breaks the 'single sided object' rule by having a top to be frosted and a bottom left unfrosted.

No, you're right. It's a Moebius strip, but the frosting cheats and twists around to appear frosted on one "side" only. Clever, actually, if it was indeed intentional. It's almost like a Moebius strip on a Moebius strip.

Oh, man I begged my parents to get joysticks for our Tandy just for that game. Did you ever play the arcade version with the trackball?

tjschaeffer wrote:The perspective on this makes my head hurt. Really well done design.

Thanks... it's how Escher played with optical illusions and perspectives that made me think of combining a chess board with the cube illusion. It seemed to fit with his aesthetic really well.
