04/14/14 Top 3 Pick; Crows Before Hoes

“Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children…” Sorry Ygritte, but Jon’s a man of his word. I enjoy that this simple design is mostly typographic. The basic white serif typeface has a similar treatment to the Game of Thrones font including the parallel lines in the “O”s.

Thank You Five Finger Tees

04/14/14 Top 3 Pick; Naskart

“Here we go!” Now this is a sport I could watch! Banana peels, red and green shells, mushroom boosts, and the all powerful blue shell; combine that with the colorful characters of Mario’s universe and you’ve got one exciting race! This design is very similar to the iconic Nascar logo, which conveys movement and is quite fitting for the race theme.

Thank You Dann Matthews

04/14/14 Top 3 Pick; Some Men

“If I have to have a past, then I prefer it to be multiple choice.” A man with nothing to lose is frightening. A crazy psychopath, detached from reality, hellbent on making the world as twisted as he is, AND he has nothing to lose? Somebody call Batman! This chaotic design is perfect for a for a crazy villain. His wild hair is interesting and reflects his insane mind. His mouth looks like a sinister red bloody grin. I enjoy that the typography is treated the same, irrational and mad.

04/13/14 Top 3 Pick; Ice Cream Queen

Do you want to build a sundae? Or was it snowman? Arendelle’s Ice Beauty is nicely portrayed in this whimsical design; her flawless warm face against her cool winding, intricate hair. I enjoy all the wonderful little snow flakes and twirling patterns that add texture. The ornate letter forms are fit for a queen.

Thank You MedusaDollmaker (one of my faves!)

04/13/14 Top 3 Pick; The Detective

A delightfully dark mash-up of Batman and Dick Tracy! It’s easy to imagine The Dark Knight fighting the organized crime in Tracy’s noir world. It’s not that much different from Gotham! Interesting composition contained within the circular frame. I love the use of negative space with simple solid color shapes to describe the dark figure. Provocative use of basic colors also expressed by Dick Tracy.

Thank You Moysche

04/13/14 Top 3 Pick; Shakespeare’s Pencil’s

That is the question indeed! A fitting metaphor for a writer. Wonderful content expressed with simple, clean geometric shapes. This comical design has a simple parallel composition with clean sans-serif type.

04/12/2014 Top 3 Pick; Always

Amazing! I love Harry Potter. I love Megan Lara. I love this shirt. From the subject matter and content to all the small details. This potions professor’s facial features and scowl are clean and expressive. The bright blue patronus in the foreground nicely balances the large amount of dark in the design from Snape’s cape. The light delicate Lilly flowers and the evil Dark Mark visually display Snape’s duality.

Thank You Megan Lara

04/12/2014 Top 3 Pick; Blue Doom

Hurry up! Just like Link’s quest in Majora’s Mask, you only have a few days to grab this design before it’s gone forever! The ominous moon looks over the little hero. The scale of the large moon dominates over the design. Link is amount lost within the trees. I enjoy the nice little choppy shapes created by the trees for visual complexity. Link has a large task at hand.

Thank You Moysche

04/12/2014 Top 3 Pick; Enemies

Two of the Doctor’s greatest foes. The Cybermen and the Daleks. Very nice geometric composition. I really enjoy how the angled lines break up the design into interesting planes. The vertical text is rare and adds a dynamic quality to the opposing figures. The watercolor stains add much-needed texture and help give an organic feel to the robotic, geometric composition.

Thank You Mareve Design

04/11/14 Top 3 Pick; Justice

So where do I enlist? Is SHIELD hiring? Here we have America’s literal ‘poster’ boy! Looks like Steve Rogers is about to pop out of this stars and stripes design. He looks highly detailed using simple color illusions so the eye completes the image. Wonderful radiating background. I enjoy how the background elements break from the rectangular frame.

Thank You Tom Trager

04/11/14 Top 3 Pick; Robolution

From Metropolis to Wall-E, we see the evolution of our artificial counterparts. Wonderful incline composition. The robots are nicely detailed with simple white outlines on the dark figures. I enjoy how the robots are not posing together or the same, they are naturally standing or flying in same cases.

Thank You Samiel

04/11/14 Top 3 Pick; Cap’n Ameri-Crunch

Start the day right. Wipe out hunger AND Hydra with the Cap’n! This cereal looks like a blast in the morning. There are many components in this design, but all are well-balanced and work well together. I enjoy all the wonderful details and care each component was given. The trading cards are a nice touch and a nod to the first Avengers movie.

Thank You Bamboota

04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; Mistress of All Evil

Don’t take any candy from this stranger or prick any spindles! This dark mistress is seductive with a long graceful neck, large sultry eyes, and thin jaw line. Elegantly set in a floral motif frame that balances the negative space around the figure.

Thank You eduardovieiart

04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; I Destroy NY

“Chose the form of your destroyer! …It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.” Remember, when someone asks if you’re a god, you say YES! This take on a simple iconic design is very nicely executed. I enjoy the simplified smiling representation of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Also, I enjoy how even the large letters are set with an even amount of negative space around each form.

Thank You Rbucchioni

04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; Nothing is Awesome

“Here in Cloud Cuckoo Land, there are no rules. There’s no government, no baby sitters, no bedtimes, no frowny faces, no bushy mustaches, and no negativity of any kind.” Well, Grumpy Cat certainly personifies (felinifies?) negativity. The polar opposite of the bubbly Unikitty from Lego Movie. Using simple block shapes Lego uni-Grumpy Cat stands stagnant on the blue gray background. The circular lego pattern on which she appears to stand on gives the design depth. The lack of white in the letter forms in the foreground set the mood and give the design a nice dull appearance.

04/09/14 Top 3 Pick; Armored Legacy

“He’s no good to me dead”. Thought Boba died in that sarlacc pit? Think again! With any luck, our favorite bounty hunter will make an appearance in episode VII! Wonderful chewed-up texture on the helmet next to the countless sharp teeth. The zillion center pointing teeth also create an inter woven texture and visual excitement. I enjoy the maroon and teal color combination opposed to the traditional hunter green and red.

Thank You Wetbrain

04/09/14 Top 3 Pick; Shikaka

What do Bruce Wayne and Ace have in common? Their fear of bats! One will transform himself into an instrument of justice, the other will… well, he’ll just transform. The artist definitely did not mess with the [hair]do! This White Devil is nicely rendered including Jim Carey’s crazy facial gestures. Well expressed great white bat shape. I also enjoy the devil horn shaped letter forms.

Thank You Punksthetic

04/09/14 Top 3 Pick; Bravonator

Something tells me this guy is a few circuits short of a Terminator… Hey there momma! Hasta la vista! Looks like Johnny Bravo is ready for Halloween. Displaying his square jaw, large upper chest and small lower body, both figures are visually similar. Cool blue hues nicely express the leather jacket against the simple warm red background.

Thank You Ratigan

04/08/14 Top 3 Pick; Gandalf’s Fireworks

No one does fireworks quite like Gandalf! Just keep an eye on Merry and Pippin, there hasn’t been a dragon in these parts for ages… This design has an old-time etching style. The composition is bilaterally balanced and is visually interesting. I enjoy the texture and the different typographic elements. The flat light blue -gray color on the dark indigo background creates a nice contrast.

Thank You Azafran

04/08/14 Top 3 Pick; Tech Meth

This moth/bee provides the honey Heisenberg uses to sweeten his cooks. The design is composed from simple outlines. Wonderful thick to thin ratio of line width to create overall color. The basic geometry is nicely balanced. The large circular seal overhead anchors the design and repeats and relates to the circles within the insect.

Thank You David Bear

04/08/14 Top 3 Pick; Steamboat Stevie

“Where’s Esteban? Esteban was eaten! He was bitten? Eaten! [pause] He was swallowed whole? No! Chewed!” Stevie is out for revenge on his steamboat after the death of his friend Esteban and he’s packing’ dynamite. Super cute design referencing a movie I absolutely love! Nice big cartoon eyes along with thin Mickey Mouse limbs and big round shoes behind an enlarged ship’s wheel. Pleasant, calm, nautical color scheme.

04/07/14 Top 3 Pick; Mother of Dragons

Mhysa! If I were a slave in Game of Thrones, this is one tattoo I wouldn’t mind having! This is a classic Sailor Jerry tattoo style design. It’s a simple design composed of thick outlines with basic colors and bold shading on an antique cream color base.

Thank You davequiggle

04/07/14 Top 3 Pick; Wings of Freedom

Whether you’re a scout, in the garrison, or just a new recruit, it seems death is coming for you. Humanity is not safe. Not from the titans. Not from itself. This stable composition nicely combines the various objects. While the gray-green tones set a hopeless mood.

04/07/14 Top 3 Pick; Winter’s Coming

Watch out Cap, the Winter Soldier is coming! This is a wonderfully timed mash up, pitting the season premiere of Game of Thrones with the weekend release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I can’t imagine this villain would go over well with the Marvel Universe’s own Stark, Tony Stark! Very nice rendering of the figure using dark tones on black. Wonderfully detailed guns radiating in the background are a wonderful sword substitute.

Thank You Gentleman Bob

Check out this once in a lifetime opportunity! “Investors? Possibly you!” Pay close attention to this design, it might look familiar… Great bright summer/beach time design. The design looks like a still from a rapper’s video.

Walkers and Governors beware, this is one tough girl you don’t want to cross! Wonderful sword action. The swooshing katana and the blood following are nicely shown in bloody brown tones.

04/06/14 Top 3 Pick; Welcome to Cloud City

It’s not hard to imagine Lando Calrissian settling down and starting a family in Cloud City after the (Star) Wars. Maybe work a 9 to 5 for Mr. Spacely and his sprockets. The design is nicely stylized with solid shapes and clean lines. From George’s appearance, to the cloud shapes, and the Millenium design, you can see the obvious styles of The Jetsons.

The 8-bit adventures of the Bebop and crew would definitely have been a NES classic! I’m sorry Cowboy, but your bounty is in another castle! Wonderful pixelized render of Spike. The type in an upward angle makes the design dynamic.

What wonderfully nostalgic 80’s mash up! To survive war, Gizmo must become war just like John Rambo. You definitely want Gizbo on your side when the Gremlins take over your office building! This little guy looks cute and ready to fire. The design is simple, clean and has nice bold outlines.

Thank You Zacly
