back from the dead

death being laziness, that is. forgive me anyone that is actually reading this. i have used my spare time lately to play an amazing game called DotA, its basically the new counter-strike but this time warcraft style. i would take some time to explain it but that would be (1) a waste of my time, its a pretty complicated game (2) technically off topic. if anyone is interesting in a LAN capable game, take a look.

ok, back to what i am suppose to be talking about. i finally started working on some art. i have about three projects going at once but i am proud to say i finished the rough draft of one. alot of brasilians have been wearing medieval themed shirt. you have probably seen them around. they usually have those awkard side angle dragons or lions, most likely a crest of some sort. they are super popular down here so i decided to put on together and this is what i came up with.


the template doesn't show a couple of things. i want this design to be on the back. fairly big. also, if you guys have any shirt colors you might like to see this on, just leave a comment. i can't put that sample up. thanks.
i personally like the crown of thorns. originally, i was going to include a cross in my crest but frankly, crosses are overrated. i like them, but apperantly so does everyone else. the cross hardly represents the death of Christ, anymore. the crown of thorns, on the other hand, probably wasn't worn by anyone else's saviour. i don't only have the crown of thorns but i included His exalted and glorified crown. this crown could possibly represent the crowns we will be laying at Christ's feet. i hope this design, other than being in style :P, will catch people's glances. Christ isn't written all over it, woah nonconforming, but i hope this will give the person wearing a chance to explain.



thanks for reading, sorry for not writing. God bless.

glad to see the new shirt! I like the subtle Christian message to it, it's good, I think it has a nice solid structure, the swirls look good too.
For colors, maybe do the ink in a darker color and the shirt in a lighter color i.e. the ink in darker blue and the shirt in light blue. Just a suggestion..God bless.

awesome design man! did u draw the whole thing urself or did u copy and paste images? either way, i love it. the different elements fit and mesh very well, instead of standing out as seperate parts. and good job on including a christian message in a more original manner. i see a lot of similar shirts up here. they're not necessarily medieval crests, but similar design elements. i really like the way they look, but i'd never wear one, cuz everyone else does, haha. as for the colors.... the plain black and white actually looks really good. high contrast. but that's just my opinion. something else that might work is have the shirt dark gray, but not black, and have the design a really light tan color. could work. i'll write this weekend, promise. :p
