Alright, so here's my design. I hope you all like it.

So this is pretty sweet. I'd definitely buy it and wear it, so I think it should be made into a shirt. The snowman is super awesome. :) The girl who's sitting there is also pretty sweet.

I'm not a big fan of the pattern used for the shadow... doesn't look shadowy enough to me, but I'm digging the patterns and art style used for the rest of the design. I'm amazed at the amount of percieved colors you were able to achieve using various patterns.

The good news is, if you pay me $30 an hour to tell you why it doesn't work, I'll make $60 bucks :)

There's an execution that needs to take place. OFF WITH THE LITTLE GIRL'S HEAD!

To me, the girl character seems so extra, and the patterns are so overused. I really like the concept and the art, but the placement and added stuff kind of pushes the look.

I don't care for the pattern of the snow shadows either (needs to be more subtle), but I do think the rest of the patterns work well. You have a cool style, and this is a great first submission. 4.

awesome texture

_lydia on Feb 27 '07

cool, i like it

Tazocat on Feb 27 '07

very Calvin and Hobbs

staffell on Feb 27 '07

I like the idea, but the pattern's make it look kinda messy

AliceChew on Feb 27 '07

Are there only 5 colours in this? I can't tell with the patterns, but if so, that's awesome as.

I really like the patterny style, it's unique.

eaglejon on Feb 27 '07

yeah, the idea is kind of cool, but the texture is too much

Little Liz on Feb 27 '07

I think this is wicked.

like the pattern on the snowman VERY much - less so on the ground - a little distracting...

mezo on Feb 27 '07

There's so much texture, I can barely make out what's going on!

BigODrummer on Feb 27 '07

Who's ever heard of a 4 sectioned snowman!

dlinkwit27 on Feb 27 '07

the jack-o-lantern head bothers me too much to give this a score above a 3

lauracake on Feb 27 '07

There is something about all the texture that I really like in a nostalgia sort of way. Maybe it reminds me of a children's book illustration. It is my favorite part of the design and the colors (though too many) are good. Overall, very creative. Goth children give it edge.

What does the thing sitting next to the girl on the bench say?

chelly on Feb 27 '07

i think if you tone down the texture and make the snow man a 3-baller, you'll be able to direct the veiwer's attention to the action

HeathaB on Feb 27 '07

Cute idea. Bad execution. Also, why is he made of 4 snowballs instead of three? More iconic the better.

BigODrummer on Feb 27 '07

chelly, I almost said 4-baller but figured the comments would go south. I'm glad you went ahead with it because it's just as funny as I hoped it would be.

I love it when you comment...you crack me up and I don't mean that in a Brokeback Threadless sort of way...

Lashford on Feb 27 '07

creepy and cool. the girl and bench is distracting, though. take them out, adjust the cloud and ground areas accordingly and you're good. i kind of like the 4-balled snowman--it's weird and uncomfortable, just like the illus.

grassy_gnome on Feb 27 '07

Thank you for all of your comments everybody. I guess this one might be worth re-working. It'll make me sad to take out my little girl, but I guess I will. Keep the criticism coming, it'll definitely help out.

lauracake on Feb 27 '07

no... don't take out the girl. please.

Buchanan on Feb 27 '07

I love the girl but the boy is a bit weird. The head is too out of proportion. Lots of elements i like but also feel it is not quite there. Im a sucker for snowmen, sticks and cute girls. I also really like the colors you choose 3.5

J-Ray on Feb 27 '07

Why do people say "Calvin and Hobbes" for anything that involves a snowman? This is so much different.

Grassy, I think this has potential, but you went for overkill on the effects.

mayor mccheese on Feb 28 '07

No way! Keep the girl. I just don't know what those little circles of white are on the sides of the snowman. Are those little clumps of snow? Maybe get rid of those. I like the texture. I don't think too much is going on here. It's cool. Everytime you look at the design you see something new. I thought that was a good thing.
