I need input, please. Here is the rough draft of the line work for this card. I’m attempting a play on a regular face card, which usually has the reversed double-headed figures. Of course, my guy’s head is chopped off at the neck. But I wanted to get 6 elephants in there, and this was what came to mind. Any suggestions, etc?
That is some fuckery there. I don’t see that the elephant sock is a penis covering, though.
Are you equating the suit of genetalia with cups? Is that what the cups are for?
Princess: Here’s my explanation – I needed 6 of the elephants. In the original Etsy listing, the “model” showed how you could use it as a beer cozy, both on a bottle and a glass. He was also wearing one on his penis. So I started with the naked torso and had one elephant on the can, one on the glass and one on his penis. Then I was stumped as to how I could get three more in there. That’s when I got the idea of doing the split/reversed torso like on a regular face card.
This is almost M.C. Escher – ish because the penis socks are joined at the head, then they also join up with the socks on the beer can. Maybe if I emphasize the diagonal dividing line that would help? I don’t know. I could also make the elephants different colors. Thoughts?
Also, when I asked what the suits equated to in a regular Tarot deck, I think you equated genitalia to cups.
yeah, I forgot about the beer cozy thing.
It would help if you emphasize the penis more. (I can’t believe I’m saying this)
Here… I’ll be the art director/client: Make the penis bigger / more obvious. That’s all it needs is more penis.
hahaha, Directorial decision – more penis! ..you need a needlepoint sign with that on it for your desk!
Yes, yes I do!
great idea! I think the different colors and dagonal dividing line would help … it took me a bit to find all 6…. (but I’m a wee bit slow anyways)….
Ok, here’s what I’m thinking: I’m gonna move him up a tad more each way and crop right at the shoulder line, eliminating the muscles that lead up to the neck. That will give me a little more room in the middle so I can enlarge the penis area and thus, have more penis. I’ll also make a definite diagonal line, and make the elephants different colors. I’m also going to add pubic hair so that will help emphasize the penis area, too. Thanks for the help!
It’s a minor thing, but the diagonal line could be made up of a repeating pattern, in-between two lines, of two circles and a rod shape for even more subtle peens!
Ok, he’s been re-tooled (heh heh). I’ve made it with a dividing line and moved the torsos up further so there’s more room in the middle. Now I just need to refine and transfer it to the good paper for color work. Yay! The others I’m working are not anywhere near this complicated so I will post WIP’s for them in a couple days.
Thanks for all the input.
