    i'm kind of with you.
    i really like it, but i wouldn't have even thought about thinking twice about buying it if the background color was blue/green/grey/something different than white.
    gonna have to sleep on this one though.

    I really like his designs, and like this one as well, but it needs at least 1 color, like the designs on the side bar.
  • image

    Luisettesaid 107 weeks ago

    I would have bought it had it been in red -- or something else more fitting. But not white....

    The side art is great; I love the "patch"-look to them.

    SmoothVincesaid 107 weeks ago

    I'm with you guys, not just about the white T-shirt, but also the black/grey art design.
    A phoenix in orange/red over a dark T-shirt, now THAT would be spiffy...

    Hmmmm, I'll sleep on it for now...

    Luckyorangeratsaid 107 weeks ago

    I think the black/white pencil sketch look to this on white is brilliant. I typically wear printless shirts in white, gray or black. So the simplicity of this shirt is amazing to me. Definatly a buy!!

    Seven Signzsaid 107 weeks ago

    The design is great, one of the best adaptations of a phoenix I've ever seen. I'm not digging the colorblind look though. Would look better with color. Doesn't have to be crazy, I think it would look bad ass colored with just shades of red.
  • image

    GlamourousGluesaid 107 weeks ago

    Great tee. It doesn't need color. Less is more.
  • image

    Pitaizkoosaid 107 weeks ago

    I have to say I am probably going to buy it. I think the fact that it is not in color makes it different then all the other shirts. Its plain and simple and it almost looks like the artist drew it on paper and used his pencil to fade it in. Very unique and great design. Bought =]

    Monsieur_Lungfishsaid 107 weeks ago

    It's a cool design, but there needs to be more color. It seems to be a little flat. I would probably buy this as a print, not as a shirt ;)

    On the bright side though, I have a soft spot for mythical beasties... and this is one bad-anus beastie :D

    love arson and love this design, but not feelin the white shirt and no color. it looks unfinished.

    I like it the way it is, and I do need more white shirts in my collection, I'll sleep on it.
  • image

    gaiaspriestesssaid 107 weeks ago

    I love the pencil-drawing feel to this, as I'm more of a graphite artist myself, but I wish it were on a color t shirt. Even a light color. I don't wear white.

    And a hippogryph? Really? No hooves, man.

    I may think about buying it and dyeing it in my washing machine, but my husband's put a limit on my yearly t-shirts, so, I'll have to sleep on it.

    Ziggy Pastasaid 107 weeks ago

    This would make for a great tattoo, that's for sure. Very wicked design. Not so sure I'd want it on a tee though, I'll have to admit. Also, it could just be because I'm blind or stupid or something, but the wing in the foreground (its left wing) looks strange to me. I can't really tell its shape properly. Then again, the only phoenix I'm familiar with are Phoenix Downs *hurr hurr*, so not sure if its left wing is supposed to be different from its right wing in mythology....

    And you know, I'm totally kicking myself for not buying the Davy Jones one when it was for sale a while ago, which equals stupidity ... so perhaps it IS just because I'm stupid. XD

    I have admired your other designs. This one just seems like it's not finished. Yeah, I guess it is the color issue. Don't know if you'd do it but I wish you'd try it again so it has some color. At any rate, the art is cool. Congrats on the printing!

    headsupcustomssaid 107 weeks ago

    the pencil art is nice, but the colorless aspect is very boring. Even a white shirt? Come on, who picks the shirt colors? Any kind of color shirt would have livened this up. Oh well. That side art is SICK, great stuff. That first Oni is really great too!

    Yep...
    I appreciate when folks here pay homage to something they're a fan of without just totally biting the characters. Good stuff m'man.
    ...Then again, maybe Arson's never played Okami and just likes the Ukiyo-e style.

    Graysithsaid 107 weeks ago

    OMG this shirt is AWESOME... except for the color. I think black outline on red would have been good; the red could "suggest" the flames from which the bird arises. DO THIS OVER, I'll buy one for sure then! :)
  • image

    Graysithsaid 107 weeks ago

    VOTE FOR THE SIDE ART: DO "SINK THEIR BONES!!!" PUH-LEEEEZ!!! Also, the raven/snake one would be way cool too, on a charcoal shirt.
  • image

    ryantthegiantsaid 107 weeks ago

    There's nothing particularly bad about the design (I'm diggin' the swirly fire style), but it's not compelling enough for me to make a purchase, especially on a white shirt.

    I'm also not sure if I like the subtle vinyl circles or not - great around the edges but awkward in the middle.

  • image

    monstarsaid 107 weeks ago

    Haha. Kind of funny, you know "Phoenix by arson" because phoenixes burst into flames and are reborn from the ashes? It made me laugh. And arson is the act of setting something on fire. Anyway, this is a great shirt. I don't think I'll buy it though.
    But does anyone notice the Harry Potter houses theme kind of? With this and the side art?

    I don't know why, but I'm not really into this. Just not my style I guess. I don't mind the fact that it's on white and has the pencil-ish look, though. Gives it a retro feel that I usually dig.

    While I am loathe to pass, I have spent a small fortune on teefury lately. But I wanted to add that I love your designs and this shirt is fantastic. A little color would have been nice, but I want to emphasize that had I not made too many purchases this month, I would have been adding this one to my closet =) Nice work!
