Printer couldn't print halftones, and wanted as few colors as possible.....

The sign of a good artist is what they can do with a one or two color print.
Less is more!

Love the artwork, but my OCD is kicking in. 

I'm guessing that's an Iguana and if so, don't they have 5 toes on each foot?

Hmmmm.   Does a mouse even wear gloves?   LOL.  Just ribb'n ya.

Each of Mickey's hands has only three fingers and a thumb. Disney said that this was both an artistic and financial decision, explaining "Artistically five digits are too many for a mouse. His hand would look like a bunch of bananas.

For that reason, If I were the MadArtist, I'd say, his toes would look like seaweed hanging over his sandals.

And if you were REALLY OCD, you'd spell it CDO to have it in alphabetical order.

Only reason it stood out was the paw (?) holding the glass had 4 fingers and all the others had 3 so I Googled it.

Actually I figured I'd raise the issue for you in case the client didn't notice the difference before going to print

Outside of that, I could care less.

the world of art has spawned a world of art critics.
There would be no art critics if the art didn't hang in the light of day
if you can't take the heat stay out of the sun light

It's like those who kill movie enjoyment by looking for every inconsistency they can FIND, rather than just enjoy the flick!

Easy for Walt to have said, but this illustration points out the difficulty these characters had in finding them! They are not an off-the-shelf item

This was a simple two-color job- the 1st being done by some other 'artist'- who obviously just traced some photos...
Title: Re: When Art is FUN!
Post by: theMadArtist on June 03, 2019, 01:24:54 PM
Did this when I lived in Florida- for the BATF; they only wanted a one-color print for the shirts; their Logo went on the LC.
I LOVED going thru all the many photographs, and creating this concept!

I was a LOT of fun!

Yeah, the Classic Offroad is a good one - great use of limited colors.

It never ceased to put me in shock to see what people are willing to pay money to PRINT!
Here the screen printer asked if I could lower the number of colors in this design; did the sketch telling them they should ask the customer if they wanted it re-drawn. They loved it, and are going to see client tomorrow- but, in my experience, they will stick to their trash!

(PS- the bottom left supposedly has a motorcycle image behing it!)

Another fun job! The owner wanted himself as a 'Rat-Fink'-like monster.....

To much Fink and not enough Rat.

I think the concept got progressively stronger with each iteration. And a being able to meet a request for a caricature is a great skill to have! From a "what could tweak it higher" standpoint, I think this design SCREAMS for decorative fonts! Stuff like dafont's horror or comic options (the 100% free stuff, i.e. ok for commercial use) can be a good resource that doesn't add to the budget.
