Based on the myths and legends of lunar/moon eclipse from different countries.

In Norse mythology, " Hati" a wolf was believed to swallow the Moon.

In Central American, the Mayan believe that the Jaguars had eaten the moon.

In Philippines, they believe that a gigantic sea serpent by the name of " Bakunawa" had eaten the moon ;

Chinese believe that "Heavenly Dog" had eaten the moon, and

Frog from Laos

There are more Animals and monsters from myth and legends that had eaten the moon and cause the eclipse. Here's just a few.

Guess the moon is pretty tasty internationally. :D

commodius on Mar 20 '08

sorry i cant jump on the bandwagon, but the design seems kinda cluttered to me. Also the design is cohesive conceptually, but if you don't understand the connection between the the element, it seems a little haywire.

nice design again

I think the theme and the art is cool (really cool), but the composition needs work. The jaguar, dog, and wolf kind of blend with each other to make one brown shape: there should be more space between them. I'd recommend moving the dog to the left and up, and the wolf to the right and up. And i think you need some more color (red or otherwise) in the bottom half to balance the red moon. the centered on black style is excellent.

jimmytan on Mar 21 '08

so nice to see ur new design again! $5

kengis on Mar 21 '08

The moon bleeds.
$5~

The distressing (?) on the moon is pretty distracting, and what others said about the composition needing a little work. It's a great illustration, though, and not far off from being print-worthy.

RoBaire on Mar 21 '08

I would have to agree with some of the others... I would love to get this shirt on my back .. with a little re-work. The theme and the colors are great.. but the figures are discordant with each other.... maybe witht the moon in the middle as you have the postures of the the others they would look better around the moon with the dog on the right and the wolf on the left...

xiaobaosg on Mar 21 '08

Sure i need some rework , thanks alot guys. :D

syddle on Mar 21 '08

the frog really gets swallowed up by the wolf and dog on either side of it. Really neat concept though

sithart on Mar 22 '08

good

sithart on Mar 22 '08

runghcnt on Mar 22 '08

nice design~ 5$

suzbot on Mar 22 '08

This is amazing and I must buy it.

yoshi andrian on Mar 22 '08

nice research on the concept and very well executed! 5$ lah.. :-)

oconnell11 on Mar 22 '08

is it just me or is a shirt branded with some esoteric knowledge not that interesting to wear? i mean i dont think everyone takes classes in animal symbolism, so i would prefer if the meaning were somewhat more straightforward. your graphics, however, are amazing and the shirt has good presentation. 3

olie! on Mar 23 '08

yes maybe work on the composition a bit as others have said, make the animals visually flow together or relate to eachother better. But as it stands now I still think this is pretty frickin' sweet.

MCS4096 on Mar 24 '08

ppbbbbtttt @ oconnell

Love the animals, especially the jaguar ;)

Laura Crites on Mar 24 '08

Beautiful. Very eye catching :)

EmilyinFresno on Mar 24 '08

I like! needs a little reworking though.

mariangello on Mar 24 '08

if you decided to go navy, i'd think about making the clouds with a black outline

but the blueish is good for the black t-shirt.

igo2cairo on Mar 25 '08

Really cool illustration, and I love the story behind this!

herky on Mar 25 '08

terrific, like it on black

sithart on Mar 25 '08

good

sithart on Mar 25 '08

nice

sithart on Mar 25 '08

nice

mistereyemusic on Mar 25 '08

placement to the right pwns the center placement. nice work. moon and serpent could use some reworking; I think you should move the serpent slightly so that his head is completely in front of that top cloud; that way you can make out the detail and know immediately what you're looking at.
