i relly love this, especially the little touches on the face. maybe add some more though, even just a little background with the same style “day of the dead” type stuff
i was just looking at this, personally i dont like the day of the dead look for her, or her eyes really so maybe 3d glasses. Adds a touch of irony too…too obvious?. otherwise the illo is great, and the colors work for me.
Yeah dude, it’s looking good but it could definitely use something in the background. Maybe a pattern or text all over the place.. I think glow in the dark in would be really cool on this, especially on the bones..
i dont like the splattery thing you got going in the BG. I think ive seen it in a few other things youve done. I dont think its necessary, the colors are awesome, its looking good
i like this, for the most part. i think the color of her body needs to be a little lighter, though. i think it stands out a bit too much. maybe the same thing for the pink, as well? overall, looks good.

the illustration is cool, it’d just be more fun if there was a background.

Yeah, I am not sold on it yet either.
After taking a fresh morning look at it, I kind of want to thicken up some of the lines in it as well.
I’m also having a difficult time with colors on this one.
I’ll probably mess with this later, and post my changes.

this is rad. maybe spiraly x ray spex would be cool? maybe not. It would be rad to print the yellow as glow in the dark. +1 digg.

also she’s obviously playing the oboe, why didnt you illustrate it?
Cutthroat said 9 months ago
i’d for sure say add some of that design around the face in behind her…like a large back piece flowing out around her
that might look rad.
Cutthroat said 9 months ago
maybe even a bunch of skulls collaged in with the patterns
like this kinda: http://craftrevolution.com/blogs/media/a%20day%20of%20dead%20computer%20pad.jpg

I tried some background stuff but it looked weird.
Here’s version 2.

very nice
MIKS said 9 months ago
nice work. the flowers/flourishes pulls it all together. maybe a really light flourish print for the bground? or a faded one?
good work man.

her hands do kinda look odd right now… are you going to add the oboe?

I LOVE sugar skulls.

I like the line qual on the revised one but I think the first version on black is much bolder

This is nice man, I would rock this shirt. it does feel a step away from being finished, but printing it on a shirt may change that.
