old:  NEW: Comission for a t-shirt design. whaddyathinks Updated - I think that your input really helped. MORE UPDATE: I just recieved this parody image from a friend of mine. (it might be relevant to point out that my website is called Love & Hotsauce)

Not sure the softness of the flames on the horizon quite works with the clean graphical style of the rest of the image. Otherwise, very nice and crisp.

I like the graphic, but for some reason I wish there was more red/orange in the picture. I'm not so fond of the slogan/text/thing much though, just because using basically the same word twice in a slogan, unless used in a very clever pun, sounds cheesy. "My ideal archetypes are antiheroes" or something else even though what I said sounded sorta geeky. Oh, and maybe a different font type? Something more fluid, too blocky blocky boxy.

Zahir Not sure the softness of the flames on the horizon quite works with the clean graphical style of the rest of the image. Otherwise, very nice and crisp. Yeah I was working with some blocky fire but I didn't like it very much sad I may try again. lol plz: You don't like the bloxywords? I felt it was appropriate for the design.

since i'm also not really sure on how that can get printed on a t-shirt. i do like zahir's idea on making them look more graphical and clean to go with the rest of the image. but i think maybe it might be interesting to experiment in using a darker background for the fire so it'll stand out more. or giving it like a darker gradient from the bottom up if you want to keep the white. maybe some ideas: - ego- patience

If the shirt is going to be screenprinted, there's going to be a slight problem when it comes to the fuzzy flames.
I'm not really feeling the white, either. I think it's because the figure is entirely grey and that grey is used nowhere else in the image, and the white connects the box and the figure nicely but it looks a little awkward, I think.
White on a dark colour has more impact than black on a light one. What if you tried making the figure white and the border/box that grey colour, and the text white.
that way the focuses of the shirt are the brightest, the figure and the slogan.
also-what if you just got rid of that grey alltogether? You have white text and figure, a red border and box, and orange flame.
Then the scene would be a little more dramatic than it is now, which is honestly a little boring.
perhaps?

I likes it. The figure is cool, I think the text looks really good. Far be it from me to pass judgement on the choice of slogan.
I can see the points about the fire, I don't think it looks particularly bad, but then it is all up to how it comes out when it is printed really, and I've only done t-shirts once and they were all straight lines and vectors, so I couldn't say whether I think it is a bad idea or not.

I'm working with my brother on some more vectory fire. Snakes: Thanks for the input. I will toy with different combinations and see what happens.

I love it. Like Zahir said, it looks very nice and crisp. Though I do have to say I liked how the first one had the box around the building and flames with the gray inside the man and the whie outlining it. But I like the second one's building and flames better. I think it would be cool if you colaborated them.

I dont like the large figures filled with white. They look too blank. The grey was working better for me, i guess.
