Hey Photo,

Okay firstly WOW, I would so buy that.

Secondly, it seems a bit smudged but that might just be an effect. I preferred the front to the back, the back seems to go against the monster theme that the front carries.

Keep Painting.

Hey, Photo!

This looks like something that would be at Hot Topic! I would so buy this, it just looks so cool. I agree with Anger about the back not fitting with the whole monster thing on the front. Actually, this would be better if you either changed the back to something fitting of the theme or just left the back blank.

I have no complaints about the front, your skills are just so amazing! Plus, I love that Scream mask in your room. Ha ha, stay awesome.

Hey Photo!
Oh my God! I love this, you have real talent and it is really well done. If I ever saw this on a store I would so buy it, it looks so elaborate and it seems that you really pot effort and time on it.
I agree with the other reviewers, the back should go with the same theme of the monster or it should be blank.

Keep on doing this awesome stuff.

Thanks for the reviews so far. At one time I was going over the painting again and the paint sunk through the shirt. So I had to put something on the back.

:D

Thanks!

Awesome. Scary. Just like you! I agree with the rest that the back doesn't the front. Try to bleach the back and redo it, you could probably put the body of the behemoth without its head. XD

And where'd you get all those medals? Drawing contests? Lol

My only suggestion is that doesn't belong on a white shirt.
That belongs on something perhaps dark green or black. White seems too ordinary for something that awesome


On the other hand, I suppose you did it so it can be seen?
If you can replicate it on photoshop and print it on some special transparent paper (admittedly a little pricey, think about $15?), you can put it on a colored shirt :) It would look fantastic.

Now the details are awesome.
I am awesome don't even deny it
I love Harry Potter more than you.

This is very nice.

I have no issues with your perspective of course--as you have prevously demonstrated, you have quite a grasp of such basic concepts. The only thing that I think would make it pop a little more would be if you had eliminated the hazing around the eyes and bump up the contrast a little bit. Especially with the white background, it comes across as being a little washed out.

Aside from that, I'm not a huge fan of the back--but I understand the need to put an image there. It doesn't strike me as being cohesive at all with the image you have on the front. I would have liked maybe a shadow (black filled in figure, perhaps) of the creature in its entirety (assuming it's bipedal...I don't know how well a horizontally oriented creature would translate).

As for the transfer sheets, I wouldn't waste your money. They tend to come out looking very homespun. But, you could probably make a couple bucks of this design using a site such as www.zazzle.com or www.cafepress.com

That T-Shirt is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life, I want one. Seriously, you have talent, you could make some sort of business out of this. I agree about the back, but the front is what people will mostly be looking at, so it's not a big issue. I think if you designed a simple logo then it would look really professional. It's very unique and probably suits your personal style extremely well. :)

Thanks for the good reviews. But I could beg to differ about the back; I think it adds a sense of lucid lunacy to the dementia of the monster. In person the back has more red, I sort brightened it up in the photo to make the colors stand out more.

Thanks!:D

I like the back, i think it gives the monster a sense of chaos. I love this shirt. It is so gross and unlike anything in stores, it is refreashing to see something new. What paints did you use, by the way? The colors are amazing and vibrant. i think you could fix the bottom. I would like to see some kind of nasty black claw or something like that. That would be awesome.
This is great. you are a really good artist, i could never do that, even though i go to school for visual arts. good luck and keep on...um...shirt painting.
When all you have is nothing, there is alot to go around.

You ready for a really awesome, in depth review?!
...
Well, I'm afraid you'll have to be disappointed, because this is it:
;)
I would commission a painted t-shirt from you in a heartbeat.
What kind of paint did you use? (I wanted to paint an old shirt of mine, too, and wasn't sure what would work best.)

Much loves,

Well I would suggest anything but what I used to make this shirt. This is acylics and it starts fading and chipping within one wash. To get the details on this I threw in a sharpie marker. The sharpie doesn't fade as easily
