that's awesome :O

n maybe as far as you turning it into a logo, maybe combine the awesome teeth with "Excessive Expression", idk how, maybe "Excessive" above the teeth n "Expressions" under kinda bending/forming to the form of the chompers, still including the tarry-goo? idk, just thought i'd throw the idea out there ^^

Damn that's cool. Great job! :D

i think those teeth work just fine as a logo as is! but i also agree with CasiiChaos, incorporating the type into the teeth would be awesome too.

Or, because i'm thinking of this from a printing and signage standpoint now, use just the type as your logo proper, and keep the teeth as a running motif.

As excellent as Excess Ink was (and so tragically claimed), that's a good title as well!

This is awesome! I bet there are people who'd like it as a sticker, if you get a webpage done up you can put the webpage at the bottom, turn it into a sticker, and let people tote around an ad for you!

Regarding the conversion to logo, I'll give you this little peice of advice, simplify as much as you can! If you can keep the design really bold and expressive but simplify it to the point of being able to print/stamp it really small (traditionally businesses wanted their letterhead to have their logo, and anything complex on old printers would just turn into a blur, but it has modern marketting/psychology purposes now to keep it simple) then you'll have a higher chance of your logo becoming a memorable icon for your business.

Here's a few webpages I just dug up but I'm sure you can find a ton more lol.

Anyhow lol, sorry if you know all this stuff already, just figured in case you didn't I had this stuff drilled in my head in school lol. It might not seem like a huge deal but usually you'd only want to do this shit once because rebranding later on can lose people who recognize the current brand.

Can't wait for you to be open for commissions! I definately want to snag a spot for some bully art! ^_^

AAAAHHHH THANK YOU. I'm pretty well versed on illustrative "rules" but not so with logo design, and this is SUPER HELPFUL. Eeeeeheeheeheeehehehe~

I'm also super looking forward to opening commissions! I would LOVE to do some more bully art! :D

Big grin ^^

The is killer! Totally my aesthetic. Simple yet effective. Super job on this!

You could make the whole card a face...like put a pair of eyes on there and a nose or something with the teeth 50 of the face? Hence the excessive expression? An evil smiley face sort of deal for your logo? Or just some cartoon style or anime style monster with an overly large grin? One that simply drips with what ever thought you want to portray on him/her/it. Or like a Cheshire cat? A animal that is for the most part dark (say like a Displacer beast or a beholder are the two that jump to mind -

That said I'm happy ya went with my suggestion and I love the card man!

These are some fantastic suggestions! :D A lot of people associate Zeek with me, as a sort of mascot, which... is cool and all, but I hesitate to use him because so many people see a "Tim Burton Sandworm" when they look at him. I don't want that sort of association. Maybe I'll use these teeth to create a more official "mascot" and then base my logo off of that, like you said.

Gosh, you are full of wicked suggestions. I should just put you in charge of everything. Ahaha~

*bows lightly* I'm an idea guy I enjoy coming up with character and character concepts. I have little to zero artistic skill in terms of drawing. But I can write and whip up some background and character ideas pretty good I enjoy helping on top of that. It's all like a puzzle to me! Fit some good ideas together make it work I'm happy to help if you need anything!

One of my old D&D chars was a warrior who wore massive heavy plate and a helm that had no faceplate. In it's place his helmet projected his mood on the front of it by means of magical smiley face expressions. It was quite hilarious everyone always enjoyed when I would use sheets of paper and hold it over my face when I talked.

Top of all that, ya have some fun style art man and it gets my muse going ya gotta make stuff that fits your style!

To turn this into a good logo that can be reproduced in black and white, I'd say make the gums solid black, the teeth white line art like they are, drop the drool, and if you wanted to, put the words on top / bottom of the mouth. *nod* But they make for awesome business cards like that.

Thank you! I think you're absolutely spot on. I'd love to keep the drool, but it doesn't work well in a logo, and it definitely needs to be altered contrast and colour-wise too. I'm still picking away at it, but I think I'll use your suggestions pretty heavily when I decide on a final logo.

Pity "excessive" is nine letter or you could put the words on the teeth.

I like CassoChaos‘ suggestion, and Punkaroo‘s is great too. For business cards, this is perfect, and ery you.

Aaaahhh Thank you! :D
