A big hit

 


I came up with this idea yesterday, but I wasn't have much luck getting Gemini to generate an image of a Piñata being hit with a stick and candy pouring out. So I gave up. But I came back to it today and decided to piece together bits and pieces from the images Gemini did provide. I was pretty pleased with the result.  Then I moved on and messed with it being National Dog Day.


I do worry that the dog with its brain exposed will make people think of dogs in labs being experimented with. But I do tend to overthink things from my day job. Bottomline, if someone is offended by it, they don't need to buy it. And after all...


Turns out there are pages of  "You can't fix stupid" designs on teepublic.com.  But mine appear to be the only ones with a stupid person's exposed brain and tools sticking out of it. 

I messed around with several other concepts. And then something made me return to the Piñatas.  I had this idea of a super hero with a Piñata head and how ludicrous it would be. Gemini kept spitting out images of Superman with a Piñata head, but finally I got what I wanted when I suggested the super hero be dressed like a Mariachi.


I have to say this is one of my favorite designs so far. 


I really like the concept that this character just begs you to hit it in the head with a stick. I may just have to buy these for myself.
