Kicking the Habit - ROUGH DRAFT

Kicking the Habit - ROUGH DRAFT image

Okay, so this is a shirt that I haven’t worked on in a month or so, but am ready to refine and release in time for some big shows I’m doing in December (Bust Craftacular and Boston Bazaar Bizarre).

I’m going to redo the hand so it’s more obvious that he’s holding a Pez dispenser, and make it more obvious that he’s holding bloody candies in his other hand.

Other than that, not much is settled as far as colorways or anything. Also, I’m thinking of putting KICKING THE HABIT on the bottom, but I’m not sold on it. I’m open to suggestion, and could stand to get ripped apart, because something about this is missing (I think I’m not entirely satisfied with the face).

    I think you already know the areas it could improve, like you said the face/hand objects. I think the colors work nice though, with the pale blue skin tone.

    maybe make the pez dispenser something more humanlike? skeletons generally wouldn’t have any blood to give!

    yeah, I’d actually thought of doing my own head, and probably should run with that.

    haha the overall idea of this one is pretty cool. I’d just beef up the illustration work

    word, thanks. admittedly, I did take this from sketch to finished product in just a couple of hours, so I know it could stand some more attention in that department.

    Great idea, looking foward to finished product. I’m not a big fan of the pink however

    alright, last night I had some new ideas for the layout on this one so I’ll hopefully be whipping them up this weekend and posting a new version.

    I’d give him more hair and make it look slicked back. And make his tounge pointier.
    But I love the idea, makes me think of the Twilight series.
    And for the "Kicking The Habit" on it... I would put it on the back, top or bottom maybe.
    I LOVE THIS THOUGH! It would be my fave shirt.
