Yogscast T-shirt Contest: Missed deadline FFFFby =Jerepasaurus

Designs & Interfaces / Fashion / T-Shirt Graphics

Yup. I was a dumbass and thought I could submit on the 30th.
Turns out I misunderstood from the start and it was the cutoff.

Oh well. I saw every entry, and I think I would have juuuust missed the top-10 spot. There were, in my opinion, about a dozen amazing pieces, that when I studied them, thought "Yep. That would be a great shirt. They really got the know-how for graphic design."

There are things about this pict that make me unhappy. Poses of hands, pose of the characters, the background, etc. BUT, I had fun with this, even if Lewis's torch arm made me insane because I simply couldn't get his hand tilted right over the course of 5 hours.
I have an alternate background that's just white, and another with the circle painted with some simple, blurby biomes like a little world, but, it was extremely distracting. With this ravine bg, I figured 'a bit less is more'. lol Also, I based this general pose concept on the iconic image of Calvin and Hobbes flying over a hill in a wagon. I found it fitting, and fun to pay respects to the beloved characters and art styles of the classics. Last design thought, is the typography. I was nervous about exact placement, which is incredibly import for the flow of the viewers eye, but when I went to look up the original quote from Simon on youtube, I found that he didn't say it very smoothly. It was more like captain Kirk, but not as sudden. Just spread out, which I think I managed here. Just barely. I hope. XD I left out the "Lewis,-" bit, only because I have the pair of them already here, and they say it so often. BUT ANYHOW, this is way too much info. I'm sorry. lololol

The original image is roughly 12x12 inches, I believe. I'm going to end up throwing this in the art section of the Yogscast forums anyhow, simply because I did put effort into it. Oddly enough, when I realized I missed the deadline (and was unfinished with this at the time) I worried less and more ideas came to me. I have no idea why that ended up that way. I would have been so proud, and it would have been amazing fun to get this on a shirt, or just get a shirt from their store. Having the guys take a look at it would have been great. I don't want any fame, but I do love the idea of lurking at the edges of it. Just an itsy bit. lol

I wish you were right. XD I haven't checked in for about a week. I need to go do that and see if they announced who did..

Sucks that you missed it but they'll probably announce another one in a few months, I missed the first one myself.

=Jerepasaurus Jul 4, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I hope so. :0 I'm also hoping this design might still apply, assuming they don't have a specific theme for the next one.

this pic is very cute. nice job on the entire presentation if that makes any sense at all xD

=Jerepasaurus Jul 1, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks.

♥ And yeah, I totally get what you mean. C: I wanted to highlight their most child-like and adventurous spirit. I wanted something sort of familiar and colorful, all family-friendly sort of things, where their sort of long-running gag/inside joke/catchphrase wouldn't totally confuse anyone that read it. If anything, I wanted people to look at it like "Well, who are these two silly guys? They look excited and seriously ready for an adventure!" XD

_{I must have taken 2 hours alone to figure out colors for the text. While they have a dreary dark background that suggests they're dungeneering, The words were sort of like "sky" "sky" "grass & earth" "DIAMONDSSSS".

Is this normal? I have such a weird craving to put tons of meaning in things like this. I even snuck some little baddies in the background like easter eggs for anyone that looked close enough. x3}

!GalacticGoat Jul 1, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

You're welcome and omg, I didn't notice the little baddies in the bg

ya'll are fancy pants.
