wow! amazing details! awesome artwork! here’s hoping this gets printed! voted!+1
Jimmiyo! You is great artist for me. I love all your artwork. It’s great drawing..vote!!
this is on pencil!thats sick +1 (if you happen to check out my page sometime, u know check out some of my works and hopefully vote,.THNX!!! c=)
Voted, This would look so sweet on this shirt color too. Great color choices overall.
Wow. This just looks totally awesome. The details and the drawing style are great. And its nice to see that you did not choose for the plain old black sketch on white t-shirt look.
JIMIYO DOES IT AGAIN! x1
Saw the pencil version on your blog, really a work of art.
If you have not see it. It a must see.
this just shows how powerful humans are! PErfect!!! i hope this will win. a masterpiece indeed!
Absolutley Vote for this One..
Could you check MY Vintage V.2
i hope you like it.
Immense work!!! The detail of ur work is just sheer quality. U certainly do rock. +1
The animals look great. They’re dynamic and well drawn, but the man looks too rigid and awkward. His pose just doesn’t suit the rest of the piece and the sword seems to go behind his head yet stab the bear in front of him at the same time. Also, if that is a bear on the right, it looks like its on steroids haha. Hope I wasn’t too mean. It’s a cool drawing but needs a couple tweaks.
I agree with LukeLukeLuke, this piece is amazing, but that guy does bother me to along with the strangeness of what his sword is doing. I only mention all this cause Jimiyo is a freakin amazing artist and where I expect perfection;)
With exquisite detail, a well-arranged subject, and appropriate use of colors, the design should be AS BIG AS POSSIBLE ON THE T – if you say it’s your best work so far (and I believe you) then “brag” about it as much as possible and ‘blow it up.’ Very little will be lost in the translation, and it will force the viewer to be “lost in the scene.” VOTED.
I’ve seen your work in the past, and this far and away is your finest work yet for a shirt. AMAZING detail.
I hope you win because you need to pay me your half of the rent.
Another jimiyo masterpiece! Just love the blue background – it’s so unexpected with this kind of design.
have always been a fan of your designs, and this is one of my favorites
Skillfully done, it’s my favorite of the finalists. You actually drew something that takes skill and you didn’t just throw a bunch of text and designs together.
This is very impressive. But i find that the way the man is holding the sword is very awkward. I can’t tell if he is stabbing over his shoulder, or is the sword has gone through his head.
I do not live in spain. (an arbitray comment to let you know that I have indeed voted). splafety!
Awesome design! Youre our speaker in our class right now…woo! Thanks for the owl shirt!
GOOD LUCK
Juli
@ Casajordi: AGREED – I like the camera-man as well because of the subject matter, but I’m always down with the drawing – especially when it’s this tight_VOTED _ MUCH SUCCESS JIMIYO!!!!!
I love the how serpantine the figures are. serpantastic. voted. draw more
…..!!! wait…THATS PENCIL? you my friend are a @#$%ing GOD!!! VØTED TO THE PΩWER OF T∑N!!!
Good luck man, I think you have the strongest design and composition in this contest. Voted!!!
there are some pretty good entries for this contest! I voted on your thought, I like it the best!
there are some pretty good entries for this contest! I voted on your thought, I like it the best!
Voted and Good Luck! But you don’t need the luck because this is an awesome design!
i loved your work on shirt.woot and read up on their site about your contest here.
so i made an account just to vote for you :]
jimyo rocks… the dude is super cool… and knows his shit when it comes to t-shirts graphics… hope ya win bud! you got my vote!
One step closer to DBH History. They will have to change the name to Design by ;J soon.
Damn its hot :) Ive also been a fan for some while of jimiyo, vote people! Vote god damn!
I want this shirt so badly. The artwork is pure class. I tip my hat to you, Goodsir.
I just love the contrast in this design. Happy to see it in the finals. Go jimi-yo!!!
I honestly think this is your best design. You have outdone yourself, Jimiyo which is extremely hard to do.
I really want this to be a huge tat on my back.
wow. and i’ll say it again in Spanish…wow.
chivo, brother, got my vote.
So I have casted yet another vote for one of my favorite t-shirt guys.
aaaand voted AGAIN, mainly for that Lust for Life sketch, and it’s a sweet shirt
Jimiyo, I’ve got your back buddy! This is one of the most amazing pieces I have seen from you yet, and you are one of the most talented artists ever. If you are on the fence about voting for this design, check out his other work, Jimiyo’s skills are unmatched and unreal!
As much work that BrCollective put in on his skull piece, the creativity of Mathiole on his symphony, the sheer gloriousness of Collisiontheory’s universe, and the complete truth of Radiomode’s cameraman, THIS PIECE by jimiyo (in my humble opinion) should win – because of the fact that it’s completely hand-drawn, VERY detailed, and has a classic feel – the kind of look that can last through years – the kind of work that deserves 10K and the recognition… just my humble opinion.
Inspiring work. Drives me to be a better artist. Love the composition… stickin’ it to leviathan!
Gorgeous. The other artists’ work is great but this is above and beyond.
My favorite Jimiyo design to date. Very much hope to see you take the top spot. My favorite of the top 10. Best of luck Jimi!
GMV!!! Have enjoyed his work ever since I stumbled upon it a couple months back. This would be my 4th shirt designed by this guy!!!
Use it as a grocery list? Nay, I would frame it on my wall for all to see, and I will buy this tee if it wins, awesome man
you get my vote pal, you’re the real artist. this is no design, this is proper fine arts! you rock
By far the best design in the contest. Hands down. I’m on the same page as andrewlb.
I’ve been a fan of your stuff for awhile, man, and this looks great.
not many people can make a design as universally attractive.
your modesty is equally as rare ;)
i bet you are bad at math too huh?
from the first time you showed it to me, this was one of my favorite designs of yours.
i won’t even cross my fingers cause i know you will win
fabulous design, love the detail, color of the shirt, everything about it. I want one now!!!
Absolutely Beautiful! I believe it should go to you. You’re an amazing artist. Look forward to having one of your works.
pentuple post?
Anyways congrats on getting to the finals and good luck.
re-voted
This is the best thing since sliced cheese! AND its not perishable!
Wow, great work as always. Good to see you’re doing well over here.
Way to fight for that spot. I don’t want your moneys, and I can make my own art with the cool free stuff, but I just wanted to give one more morale boost.
Had a peek at your other stuff. All top designs in there own right.
anyone of them would look great in the shop.
This comment list is going to be a mile long when i hit refresh.
I have always been a fan of your work. This is by far your best – Nice job, amazing, really…amazing.
I’ll buy one too, great design brother. Love your work, MTSU represent!!! =)
This kind of sketching is sorely missed over at woot, though it’d exceed their print area, right? Plus, they aren’t offering 10k. Good luck!
i will support you till the end of time. which translates..i love your work. good luck man!
Very slick design and masterful illo as well. Good luck jimiyo can’t wait to wear your design. Peace.
Mastadre
Well I already voted for this before, but I think this is gonna be the one! Great illustration, yet quite wearable.
There is no doubt in my mind if your going to win or not,, simply amazing work
I must say, this is one badass piece of art. I want one of these tshirts fo’ sho’!
Thanks for making me aware of it….I really do think that you are going to win.
Hey jimiyo,
Voted! I’m pretty sure you’re gonna win mate. This design is pretty mental.
You think my comment is gonna be plucked outta this?? Good luck me lol. Good luck you too. This shirt is amazing jimi.
i like most of ur art works .. i really do and i bough 1 already ;) “revelations 08”
and really that one is AWESOME .. Voted for sure
I have to say, that you did an amazing job of getting it to look good from original artwork, to a final design. You gotta make me a tutorial or something sometime. Thanks.
Hooray Jimiyo! I really want you to win, so you know I’m voting again.
this drawing is quite amazing my friend… quite amazing.. great work
top 5 are all sick…im really feeling this one though, love how it flows, im pullin’ for ya.
Everyone’s loved the design I got from you.
I like the mythology aspect of this blue one.
Right on.
Like all your sketches: Impressive. Love it ! I’ll definitly buy the Tee !
dude I hope you win I love this, and i want it printed so i can buy it.
Totally got my vote.
I’ve always loved Jimiyo’s sketches, this one reminds me of the game TitanQuest.
Is it wrong that the ram looks the scariest to me?
I think of all the designs of yours that I have seen (and I own 5 or 6 of them), this is my favorite. Jimi, you are just awesome!
I love it! I don’t want any money but to have the original artwork would be an absolute honor! I’ll even settle for a shirt, LOL
totally awesome jimiyo. good luck on the win (not that I think you need luck with all of your mad skillz)!
The entire final five are all great but I only voted for my two favorites. Good luck, Jimmy!
Hopefully DBH will print all five, these artists really produced some amazing work.
i really like your logo ;j
this design isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but it’s really cool nevertheless.
Go jimi, go go go jimi ))
I hope there will be other color combos!
Titan quest :)
The concept and illustration is incredible. However, one thing I will say is the warrior’s face could use some more detail. Other than that, this is probably the sweetest shirt I’ve ever seen.
Good luck!
Woah, if this gets printed, you can be sure I’m getting it. This drawing is simply too awesome to be looked over.
Really amazing line work. Love the gradients in your characters. Good luck, man.
Been a fan of your work for quiet a while now and once again I’m reminded why. Keep up the tremendous work!
I draw a lot myself and I can appreciate the work you put into it. This must have taken you many many hours. Voted, good luck in the contest!
This is an impressive design. Great detail. I haven’t seen a shirt that focuses so much on shading, it works very well.
Awesome design again! :D Thinking about finally buying Revelations, but this one definitely is a winner too! :D
Peace, I learned of you through CRAFT, I like your art—it is definitely visually stimulating and detailed. Keep the creativity flowing. I wish you the best with the contest. It looks like you’re the winner already. You got my vote!! Nashville artists rock!
You know you got my vote. You’re definitely one of the most talented, underpaid dudes in the industry right now.
Amazing imagery. This shirt is stunning and should be pritned regardless of the contest.
This is epic. It’s without a doubt one of my favorites of yours. Best of luck to you, dude!
you never cease to amaze. nashville will be glad to have you back. you’re coming back, right? …we need your talent in these parts…
your design and illustration skills are sick. Amazing shading right there. Good luck in winning and I am sure you will. Such talents should not go a miss!
Nasty nightmarish works! Though I would love it even more if there are more details on the warrior’s face – more twisted. But overall, I love the illustration and the detailing on the shades. Great job!
Amazing design jimi! By far the best pencil sketch i have ever seen. hope it wins!
This is quite possibly the coolest design ever conceived by human kind! Love it!
if u dont win ..then and asteroid is gona hit earth and well u know the rest..
Your work is absolutely amazing in it’s details! I could study this everyday and see something I’d never seen before.
HIS IS AMAZING it is an amazing design on top of that its an amazing color,
Voted! All Your drawings are amazing. Thank you for sharing your works with the world and keeping your part in Art :) g’day from australia!
this is a great one! I hope you will so ben can pay me his half of my rent. lol jk
Hey, Hey Jimiyo, feel free to put me in as one of the ten. looks like it’s goin all the way, congrats! :)
Amazing artwork! I also dropped by your site and saw your little advertisement…I hope you win!!! $100 :)
You’re one of my most favorite designers on here, if not my most favorite. Fantastic job man.
I always love your stuff, the detail is great and I’m waiting for additional designs.
By the way, my previous order for Syracuse has already sold out and your shipment has only just arrived, I’ll need some more please (see your order purchase req).
not my personal favorite of all the semi finalists, but my brother absolutely loves it, and i want to buy it for him, so you’ve got my vote, and my appreciation for your extraordinary talents as an illustrator, very nice job, and keep up the wonderful work.
Talent. For some reason, it reminds me of an oil painting. Very nice.
This is singularly the best shirt in the history of shirts. I have already bought one for each one of my immediate family members. I even named my newborn son jimi to pay homage to the greatness that is the “YO”. You are not “fighting the good fight” if you don’t help this shirt win. Thus making you an evil person!!!
Dang! A lot of comments, but I can see why… Got my vote because it is one of the best ones I have seen
this is….epic. It’s like Homer came back to life and made a shirt instead of a poem.
all of ur work is unbelievable. i just found out about dbh today and ive spent at least 2 hours just looking at ur stuff tryin to figure out why they havent all been printed the second they’re submitted. lol.
I have always been a fan of your work so good luck!
I hope this one get’s printed
Amazing design. I am almost sure to buy one of the next shirts you get printed at the Fury.
+1 man, Awesome stuff, the detail in there is absolutely incredible great work!
out of whats left this one deserves to win! i hate how the design that took the least amount of skill or thought process. seem to be winning. hope you steal 1st
Wow, I just stumbled upon this site and this design.Great work sir! Love it.
$100, huh?
Sounds good.
Btw, great work. I’m glad to see you’re keeping up w/ the talent.
erness you are weird, this guy is an artist, not a designer like the rest of the submissions. less people can do what jimmy does, cuz it takes a whole lot of practice before you can make an image such as this one. all props go out to jimmy, 100% WINNER!
ALRIGHT! Made it to final 4! One step closer to your rightful place as champ :)
I like the pencil on T-shirt motif, but there is something a little odd about the head of the greek.
Aww, shucks, I was really pulling for you, jimi. Congrats on the print anyway. This is good stuff.
well hopefully they print a couple more of yours. you sure gave them enough good ones. :)
only 4th place! wow! This contest surprise me a lot! My two favorite are 4th & 5th! Anyways congrats! That was one of your best!!! I’ll order it for sure! Can wait to see who’s gonna be the big big winner! hehe
congrats!! i think this one could have easily have been 1st or 2nd, I really like it alot. good work.
i think this landing 4th place surprised alot of us – but glad this design was printed never the less.
Dude, I was really pulling for you! Congrats on making it this far. It really is an awesome shirt.
i thought this gonna be 2nd
i think Altitude Sickness is gonna be 1st
gonna buy this 1 n sea n the Altitude
thxxx jimiyo for the great print
wow looks amazing on the shirt, good job, I see a lot more prints coming from your submissions
congrats bro!
you are my fav one for this contest!
discharge looks amazng
It’s a bummer that you didn’t score the big prize, but at least I’m happy that I can finally get the shirt! Good job!
I know you were hoping to come in first, but still….great job and congratulations on the print.
And, it printed on my birthday. So, it’ll be a gift to myself. :)
Congratulations on the print Jimi.
You can breath again. Another nice shirt for the trophy room. Well done. I’m trying real hard to not say something cheesy like “You fought the good Fight…cowboy”
I love this image, it has so much depth and feeling!! Good luck on the contest!!
Jimiyo, I think that’s BS that you got 4th. I was thinking either you would win or at least get second. On another note, the print came out really nice and at least you got something for your efforts. Great work as always man.
What the? This was like the coolest one…I think this is gonna be the first shirt I buy, looks awesome.
really?4th?i honestly thought this was gonna win,.anyway,.cangratulation!
You got my vote, keep up the good work, any thoughts on spore t-shirts?
Fourth Place? Tsk…should have been 1st, guys. But im just glad i can buy it now…congrats though, Jimiyo.
Amazing tee! I’m agree with missmonster, it deserves the 1st place even if the other ones are amazing.
AAARRGH. Was hoping this would make it to #1. Still… buying when I get the chance! Thank you Jimiyo and DBH!
Congrats,for this,even if i was sure that you will be in top 3.The close-ups from the print,looks awesome!
wow, surprised you didn’t get first. Well anyhow at least you got 1K, right? great design
was 100% pulling for you to win. i’m not liking any of the other designs. congrats on this though!
whhhaaaattt? This should’ve been top 2 atleast.
ugh. Great job btw :D
GREAT WORK, I’m always impressed with your designs and looking forward to this becoming a shirt so I can add to my collection. Keep it different and keep it creative!
Why Why Why didn’t this win.
Its such a shame that Altitude Sickness is probably going to win simply because of the massive numbers of votes a collective can bring in.
I feel for you man, this was by far the best technically and visually, and you submitted so many excellent pieces.
ahh no another upset for me. I had you for #1 and the Seasick Symphony as #2. I love how this came out though. None of the detail seems to have been lost. Grats man :)
I’m sorry but I’m not a fan. This looks like something a little kid might think looks good or maybe something Napoleon Dynamite would draw or maybe something for those old fat ladies with mustaches who wear wolf shirts. Anyways I don’t think this one was stylish enough to be printed here. No offense Jimiyo some of your other stuff is amazing I’m just not a fan of this one.
MAN i thought 4sure this was gonna be #1??? it is in my book. Kick ass bro…looking forward to your next best!
To be honest, I was dreading this shirt taking number one. Don’t get me wrong, you have skills, I just don’t think this particular design is the best for a t-shirt, let alone a $10,000 t-shirt.
Dang, I thought this was gonna win, or at least second place! Aw well, it looks awesome! Another one to add to my growing Jimiyo collection. ;]
The best design deffinantly. I think it’s pitiful that PPP and that terrible skull design were infront of these two. The black hole sun design will win because he advertises it more then anyone else.
very nice job on the print and yeah i agree with vo1ture i really don’t like ppp and the skull one
sorry that it did not get 1st man, still a winner in my books. cheers and congrats on the print bro.
Congrats on winning 4th. I was voting for this one and wish it would have won 1st out of the others that were competing. This is a definite purchase!
This shirt definately fought the good fight, congrats on the 3rd place.
I am in Houston and just got my power and internet back after Hurricane Ike. It’s a mess here. Came to vote for your wonderful work as soon as I got my internet connection back. I hope you win. I spoke to you about a year ago, when I lived in Nashville. Anyway – good luck!
It’s been a while since a shirt on dbh has interested me. ANd i’ve been following this design in anticipation.Im glad i can get my hands on it now, but in all honesty, i wouldn’t have minded waiting for it..it deserves to win the whole competition. Nonetheless, Congratulations.
Alright, no big money’s but 4th aint bad, and a print! Not bad at all. Congrats!
ya im bummed but im glad its printed and that you at least win something
looks great printed. Not cool with you getting only the 4th place…
must own one of this!
Fight Fight Fight! But I nominate you as the winner :P
Beautiful use of shades – seeing print come out so well like this is an awesome sight.
after seeing the final print, I feel that this should’ve won (especially to think the originality and effort on how it was made) – or BRCollective’s.
Well, it was beautiful work anyways, nice job jimi.you should have been first because the others do not have as much passion.
I have this shirt, i am wearing it right now. i love it soooo much. this is probably the best shirt in my entire wardrobe
Reprint please! in Large Mens…. is there a way to be notified when a shirt becomes available again? if not there should be!
amazing! ive always been a fan of your work and this is also great!
keep up the great work!!!
