Wonderful render and color. I really enjoy the little details in the render of the sailor scouts on the bottom.

Thank you, Ilustrata!


09.26.2017  |  Floating

Wonderful use of eerie Tim Burton-esch stylization for this design. Georgie really looks frightened.

Thank you, Saqman!

05/13/2014 Top 3 Picks – Daily Shirt Designs

ript_poke-fighter-ii_1399957994_full

05/13/14 Top 3 Pick: Poke Fighter II

This shirt is a KO! I guess this is the next evolution of fighters. Awesome collection of mashed up characters featuring the original eight “World Warriors”: Ryu, Ken, Guile, Zangief, Dhalsim, Chun-Li, Blanka, and E. Honda. The little figures are nicely placed together in their action pose. Each Pokémon figure nicely emulates a Street Fighter through their outfits or hair style. Blanka/Pikachu is a particular standout. Great solid bold colors and heavy bold lines. I enjoy the combination of both franchises’ fonts to create this hybrid bold block title.

Thank You Louis Wulwick

05/13/14 Top 3 Pick: Sailor Team

Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. Sailor Moon and her fellow guardians are all here in a bold team pose. These magical teenage heroines are depicted in a simple silhouette in front of a big bright moon, almost like “Bond” girls or “Charlie’s Angels”. Their elegant bodies with long legs and arms are nicely portrayed together as a team. I love that the combination of the colorful, space-like background and the large, round moon have a nice “James Bond” opening credits quality.

Thank You Ed Woody

05/13/14 Top 3 Pick: Nosferatu Scooby

Like zoinks! The spooky and iconic Nosferatu shadow scene with a comical twist. This monotone design portrays the mysterious vampire’s shadow lurking behind two of the Mystery Machine’s members. Shaggy and Scooby seem to slink up the stair, frightened as usual with the long-nailed monster in pursuit. I enjoy the wonderful well-shaped dark silhouettes in the dim-lit scene. The simple lines and angles elegantly reveal a staircase. This design is nicely contained within a circular vignette to show the light source revealing the shadows.

Thank You Six Eyed Monster

04/27/14 Top 3 Pick; Maneki Luna

This Maneki Neko design depicting Sailor Moon’s cat Luna is so adorable! This motif works well for this black guardian cat, which signifies luck, happiness, and fortune. I highly enjoy this bright, feminine color palette. The traditionally black cat is depicted in a wonderful shape of purple with a black gradient. The floral bed in which the welcoming cat lies in, is fresh and sweet. Wonderful line work and color execution as usual for Ms. Lara.

Thank You Megan Lara

04/27/14 Top 3 Pick; Darkside of the Force

Every time I see one of these Akira mash-ups, I can instantly hear Kaneda’s theme music. Kaneda is depicted here as Vader from Star Wars. This dark lord seems determined, headed for his Tie Fighter ( Okay, technically a Tie Advanced x1 prototype). I enjoy the movement of his wind-blown cape as he walks up the design. His vehicle is meticulously illustrated and brings the eye upward.  The design is then nicely balanced by the red, asian characters in the bottom of the design.

Thank You ddjvigo

04/27/14 Top 3 Pick; Despicable Escape

This is a hilarious rendition of Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker’s escape in episode IV “minion-ified”. Minions are extremely popular these days and lend themselves well to depicting other characters by their recognizable humanoid features. I enjoy the wonderful perspective of the gray-scale background. I seem to laugh every time I look at their little funny yellow faces as they swoop through the air avoiding fire. And ,oh no!, they dropped their beloved BANANA! HAHAHA!

Thank You DJKOPET
