This would make an AWESOME freakin shirt! Oh lordy, I hope it makes it to production! :D
almost as cool as the next entry t-shirt :)
would definately make a good looking tee.
Thanks guys! Keep ‘em coming…i want a shirt of this so freakin’ bad!
If this somehow doesn’t win, you should still consider getting some of these shirts done by a local printer. I would buy one!
Great illustration and placement…Did you create this in Illustrator or Freehand?
Hi! This is actually a gouache painting..but my other shirt is illustrator :D Glad you like it!
Hope this does make it! This would totally make a great gift for a friend of mine who’s birthday is coming up soon and I have no clue of what to get for him.
GReat beautiful line and color.
I’m so buying one if it come up! Or else, ever try spreadshirt? or Lafraise.com?
Thanks for the love, guys. Hey and if you are going to hate, at least say why. If you know more than i do about shirt design, then school me. Back it up with your own great art and give me some constructive criticism. Don’t be so youtube about it.
Hey Mel, that’s a great idea!… I have only one thought… You should move him UP on the shirt maybe… I always tuck my shirts in, so much of the monster would get lost in the depths on us folk with shorter torsos… ne? love it tho, vote in!
I already have one of your designs on a shirt and I can’t wait for another! This one is killer, I really hope it’s selected!
If (for some reason) this isn’t printed here….can you please get it done somewhere else? It’s an awesome design. I’d totally love one. (and a foo dog as well!)

i like this one. and i like your sassiness. your website is pleasing too. the colors makes me feel like im all warm and fuzzy like im taking a bath in Calgon. cheers
I love your interesting compositions. Nothing is boring and just slapped in the middle. :)
Hey Tek, that’s a good point. I didnt even think about that! Thanks for pointing it out, i’ll consider that with my next design, hmmmmm…
Calgon, take me away! :D
Wow, didn’t think this reaches so high! anyway, very nice work, hope it gets printed :)
lol “dont be so youtube about it.” good quote. would the tenticals on the right wrap around? i think it should be moved over if not, but i do like the off center. +1
Haha, thanks tastyhills. I’d love for the tentacles to wrap around, thats a cool idea. I wonder if DBH has any plans for this option in the future? Or do they have this and i missed it?
They’re probably printing this while the shirt is flat so it’s going to be hard for them to sync the back and the front properly. It probably makes the printing costs higher. Though I would love having the tentacles wrap to the back as well.
I don’t get it, how come you didn’t win shirt of the day Fab 29 ???? This was top of the list!
@ Caserooni – Because almost 200 people whom bothered to vote think its awesome. :3
And Yeah, I agree atomic. T_T Its still in the top faves and nothing.
And as a random addition I’d love to see this bad boy on black. The Red looks awesome but I think it would be uber to see this on other colors too. Plus the ‘frame’ around him, would I think really make that work. :3
Actually it’s funny you mention that…I thought about other colors for this shirt after i submitted. I think that this might look cool on that dark grey color too…what do you think? I wonder if they let us have color options for the printed shirts?
I think they would <3 yes dark grey would be SEXAH…
Foo on other colors would pown too O_O part of what throws people off may be bright greeny-blue on red. Its HUGELY striking but it may be tossing people off?
(and yay! first design submitted for meee pending approval! random self pimp)
Love, love, love this one. It should win and be turned into a shirt! Why hasn’t it been done yet, dagnabbit!
shakes page o How many votes does it taaaakkkkke? Come to me mah sexy oil monster!
Seriously I love this thing, it’s got this sort of…Celti-Cthulhu vibe, with Black Shuck tossed in for fun.
Haha, thanks for the eagerness, guys! DBH has a TON of shirts to go through so it takes time. I can’t wait either! :)
i really really want this printed. one of the coolest designs i’ve seen in a while.
Wow… nearly 250 votes and its still not a shirt? I’ve been through all the shirts it will still link me too and I don’t think I’ve seen another this high (though no doubt that’s why the pissy comments too?)
I still think its enormously fun, and I’d buy it in a heartbeat
ur shirt is going to get printed cause it dominates all other desings and bitch slaps them in the face i think the closest one is 100 votes dats not urs
Honestly, I wasnt too excited about this design first.
But I looked at it some more, really looking at it.
And thought.
Wondered how it would be actually wearing it.
Then I totally fell in love.
Its a great design.
Seriosuly needs to be on a shirt.
While I like the drawing, it really seems like something that one of those weird kids who likes dragons waaaay too much and sort of vaguely smells like Funyuns would wear. I dunno, maybe I’d like it better if I saw it on a shirt rather than a template, or if it had more going on up top.
Haha, i think i heard that same Funyuns joke on Mind of Mencia or something. Anyway, glad you like it! :)
This shirt has alot of votes, why is it taking so long to win & print? I really want this shirt…
Oh HELL YESS!! I am ordering one right now. I love this shirt.
hmmm.
i’m not too sure how i feel about this. it looks to much like JNCO clothes to me :/
sweet. theres not too many shirts id wear, id wear this one…(and im buying this one!) quintessential black with a moderate wild splash of color not emblazoned on chest. pretty rad yo. i think it turned out great.
congrats!
don’t believe this **** was printed! they r really going to a low level in here…
I tell you to grow up and have formal studies at university instead of praising common-sense-amateurish illustrations
Fofocone why are you still here if you hate the shirt so much? It’s not like you get a notification that someone left a comment here, which means you keep checking this page. Surely you have better things to do?
The question is not about me. Im just trying to show better “designs” to the common public. There was no planning on this, the guy just thought “I’ll make an rad/freaking/stylish illustration, cause people just have eyes not brains to interpret ideas”
Maybe fofocone should go make some “better” designs to show to the common public than watching this page. :p Have something in your gallery before saying stuff like that.
Awesome job, missmonster! :) Congrats.
Great job, Missmonster! this shirt is way cooler than most of DBH’s other pretentious, post-modernist looking crap.
haa just went to vote and noticed it had already won,woops, great work!!
Ah there are so many designs I have never ever seen. Thanks to the Staff picks this has an end now!
I love how this comes from the bottom – It would look great as a lady’s tee
