PYKNIC Superhero tee shirt design by sittingduck - Josh Stomberg

So, the original idea was to have an astronaut with a picnic basket for a head that had some sort of food item as a jetpack. I ended up changing it to a superhero that constantly spews food from his head and flies around using a giant soda bottle as a jet pack. All of this is hand drawn, inked, then traced in illi. My limit is 5 colors on this piece. The shirt color will be AA’s royal blue. so the blue you’re seeing will be shirt color, not a print color. They wanted something really bright, so that’s why the colors are so heavily saturated. I hope they like it!

EDIT updated design to Pyknic’s requests.

pyknic, superhero, basket, food, sub sandwich, hogey, sittingduck, yellow, blue, pink, green, black, white, soda propulsion, big bottle, spandex, underwear on the outside, crazy people that fly

the idea is cool, and the text rules, but i would space it out a bit,it seems too cluttered… the whole idea you have is really awesome, just looks liek what you have now, doesnt fully execute the potential it has

The composition on this reminds me too much of the other crazy-faced basket design they recently printed. I think this is my favorite text work that I’ve seen you do though. Very nice job.

^
The name of the company is Pyknic and there is a picnic basket with a face. I hear to many accusations about designers copying other peoples work. Yeah they’re similar and he probably saw sockmonkee’s work. Get over it.

thanks … it’s not even nearly the same concept … I just put a face on a damn picnic basket per pyknic’s request.

I think it would look pretty cool if you had his legs going straight down rather than bent, and then maybe add more detail to the rocket on his back.

hahaha you guys dont get the point. i understand there called pyknic clothing, but what i meant is the style is very similar, it almost looks like the same shirt twice. i wasnt ragging on the design , i think it looks really cool.

you should have tried to do something different instead of the typical pynic basket head, is what im trying to say.

but like i said before its rad none the less, and congrats if they accept it.

i would, but they didn’t want “massive branding” for this piece, they just wanted the pentagon logo in his belt buckle.

i think it looks awesome with the freed up space because of the lack of text… but the text was done very well too though.

Not digging the illustration at all. Something about it looks unnatural (and I'm not talking about the fact that he has a picnic basket head)

i love this one...i love the idea or "picnicman!" or something like that...maybe he is screaming the name of the co?.

the eyes and the mouth don't seems to be a part of the basket..maybe just remove them..or put more expression on it .. the illustration is well done :)
