how many colours are there in here? anyways too messy, looks a bit like a roadkill. Tighten it up, simplify.

I don’t see much tribute to brazil… Too big, too cluttered with elements… Just not good…

The face of the demon must be clear so closely linked to fighters in the foreground, because the eyes are two Berimbau, an instrument played only in the typical manifestations of capoeira.

As for the two shadows (this was the effect that I hoped to play) represent a kind of spirituality of the thing, so it should be noted immediately, but rather suggests the presence

Thanks to all the comments and suggestions to improve future designs that will present

La faccia del demone deve risultare evidente perchè strettamente legata ai combattenti in primo piano, visto che gli occhi sono due berimbau, strumento tipico suonato solo nelle manifestazioni di capoeira.

Per quanto riguarda le due ombre (era questo l’effeto che speravo di riprodurre)rappresentano una specie di spiritualita della cosa, quindi non si dovrebbero notare subito, ma più che altro intuirne la presenza

Grazie a tutti dei commenti e dei suggerimenti per migliorare i futuri disegni che presentero

I don’t know if the spread buttcheeks is such a great idea…

I think that on the whole the t-shirt is way too busy.

I would drop the opacity of the dragon/demon RIGHT down- The whites o the teeth and the neutral greys are making it very difficult to find the focus of the design on the t-shirt – which should be the fighters.

By doing this you will also creade a definite layer separation between the focal point and the rest of the t-shirt.

Definitely the city should stay.

As Duncan said: “I dig the cappoeira fighters and the dragon, however it is a tad on the big side….maybe might look better if you just removed the city background.”
The city should stay. So a simple change in colors could solve the question.
Anyway, this is a good one too.

Esperamos tua visita. Abraços

shoutBack on 14/11/08 by Eric

not ready to vote on this one yet.
it’s loud, that’s for sure – but still deciding whether it’s too loud for my taste or just right

shoutBack on 13/11/08 by Eric

I digz it. Loud and bold like the rhythms and colours of Brazil. I’d like to see more capoeira illustrations.
