Quick Project - $20

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by DomGatto, Mar 14, 2008.

    I am in need of an illustration. It does not have to be detailed, I would prefer it be a vector/cartoon.

    I need a flaming skull for a motorcycle patch. The skull should be coming down from the right (as in, facing your left), with the flames trailing it. It will have to be coming down as if falling towards the person.

    I'm not looking for anything spectacular, but I am looking for something original. Contest ends March 17th (3 days).

    Please, no PMs. Post your work in the thread for me to see.

    Rules:
    Must be done in 800x800 or larger. 300 DPI, preferable.
    Must provide the PSD or Illustrator file.
    Paypal only.


    Winner will receive:
    $20 via PayPal.
    Positive iTrader.
    Positive Rep.

    Alternatively, the winner can receive 20,000 unique visitors to their website completely free upon completion - a $28 value. Info here.

    Good luck!

    Great entries, everyone.

    Scorpion:
    Can you angle the skull facing down more? Looks amazing, just what I'm looking for.

    Very nice. Thank you.

    So far, I'm really liking Scorpion's entry, but that doesn't mean someone else can't wow me!

    Wonderful. Looks great.

    I like the red flames better, only because that is the theme of the patch. Could you make the skull more "skull toned"?

    That is pretty much what I am looking for. Thanks for your entry.

    I am still going to wait the 3 days for other entries.

    A version with flaming eyes - figured this might be starting to get into too much detail, but might as well post it as an option. This is the last one for me tonight, I'll check back tomorrow to see what others come up with.

    Scorpion, you are onto something. Too much detail with eyes being there, but it would be cool if you could make it so flames are coming out of the eye sockets as well (no eyeballs). I like the way you are thinking.

    Remember - this is for a motorcycle club. The more badass the better.

    Ok, I had time for one more revision tonight, Below is a concept with just flames in the eye sockets & a concept with horns added. (Again, the horns might be getting into too much detail, but I figured I'd present it)

    Sorry! Couldn't see them.

    Anyway, I like the concept, but it is a bit /too/ primitive. Keep going with it.
