AudioHIve - Electric
AudioHive
For the sound competition..

Printed sample of AudioHive natural shown here, thanks to Ruby red:
I sat and thought about sound, what it is, what it means.
Our attraction to sound is primal, as universal as the world itself.
It has structure and body, with no definable form. It can be all things,
natural, mechanical & electric.
Sound brings us together, forms and strengthens communities.
So this design is a visual representation of those thoughts.. I hope you enjoy it.
Details can be seen:
here
and here
NOTE: I`ve uploaded 2 different colourways for this design, which I normally wouldn`t do, but both speak
of something to do with my concept. Let me know which you think is the better entry?
And if you like it enough please throw a vote my way

T-Shirts


Cathie Tranent
Love this. No time to check the colourways now – will call back later = however it would need to be pretty remarkable to top this one.
Cathie Tranent
As I said …. can’t split them – they both appear to suit perfectly.
Scott Robinson replied
Different sides of the same coin.. I`m conflicted! haha
Thanks Cath
Grandia
WOW! That detail is mindblowing, did you pen tool all of that?
Oh and I prefer this one, the blue works great with black. I’m sure it’ll do great in the challenge. =)
Scott Robinson replied
All pen tool, my wrist will testify… Thanks Grandia
MangaKid
Good work Scott, this is my favourite of the two.
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks Mate.. Most appreciated
Frank Stillitano
Both colours work well. The warmer palette reminds me of honey, whilst the cooler palette makes me think of the outskirts of the universe where such a hive might be found. Mmmm…I’d go with the honey.
Scott Robinson replied
Tough call isn`t it? I`m ususally far from indecisive, but this one… hmmmm
Thanks Frank. Appreciate your opinion.

Such excellent execution Scott – I freaking love this piece.
My vote is blue.
Scott Robinson replied
Cheers Mate. I`m happy with the result too..
Blue for you!!
Natassja
i think i prefer the blue lines :)
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks natassja.. Blue seeming popular…
Nick Ford
Blue one for mate!!!! Its got that ‘futuristic nightclub’ feel about it. Great work, i’m sure this gunna BLAST the competition off the dance floor!!!!!!! hahahaa
Scott Robinson replied
Cheers Slick! I`m just happy i pulled something together for it..
transmute
Bzzt bzzt. Electric.
Scott Robinson replied
Ha! Thanks Chris..
Sam Dantone
A FINE LINE DESIGN.
nice subtle glow…
Sam Dantone
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks Sam, I tried to get a balance between them…
Miriam Shilling
amazing design, I like the blue on black best, I love the subtle shading you’ve added and your explanation.
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks Miriam.. Juggling act between delicate and visable.
Earthmonster
Great halftone work! Looks good both ways.
Scott Robinson replied
Cheers EarthMonster.. Halftones are a new ballgame for me.. So it`s been a fun little challenge
ElRobbo
Awesome work, Scott!
Your linework and representation of ideas is second to none!
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks ElRobbo.. I`m happy you`re enjoying it
Juilee Pryor
wow this is awesome Scott
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks Juliee.. My sore wrists are feeling like it`s all been worthwhile
najeroux
It would seem that the world prefers nightclubs to sweaty underground rock clubs. I find the latter far sexier.
najeroux
Scott Robinson replied
But of course, your insight`s have been hugely helpful in the development of this..
najeroux
Stop it, you are making me blush with your niceness.
najeroux
Scott Robinson replied
C`mon.. You stood tall.. you had youtube links!
Juilee Pryor
sore wrists… phooey…. if your fingers aren’t bleeding then your just not working hard enough….. :)
Scott Robinson replied
Close. i`ll work harder next time
[̲̅ə̲̅٨̲̅٥̲̅٦ ...
This is so a totally perfect illustration
Scott Robinson replied
Perfect dosen`t exist, but thanks for the vote of confidence..
Simon Sherry
Blue for the win!
(although, if you happen to sell this before the comp’s through, I’m sure that the rest of us won’t mind ;o))
Scott Robinson replied
Ha! Cheers mate.. It`s all about gettiing a good entry in for me.
Juilee Pryor
hey sorry Scott… I used to work in a sculpture studio weaving heavy ropes and wire and stuff and our hands would bleed sometimes … so when we were getting a bit mental with it all… that’s what we would say to each other… it became the standard for working hard…. was tricky when working with white on white though…. blood on the field and bandaids all around….
Scott Robinson replied
blood on the field and bandaids all around….
Excellent line. Sounds tough.. I`ve worked as a sander before, blood on many a door! hahaha..
Juilee Pryor
thanks Scott…. making art can be hard work and very physical sometimes but it’s so worth it in the pursuit of excellence….and your design is excellent
jemimalovesbigted
Definitely blue for me! looks amazing as always Scott! Much luck for the comp, although you don’t need it this is a top 20 for sure =D
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks Jem.. There`s some very cool entries in this comp, I just hope this is well recieved, and get enough votes to get itself in front of the judge.
capgun
wow! .. clean!
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks Capgun.. I went a bit silly with this one.
rubyred
I don’t think there’s any doubt this will be very near the the top of the heap Scott, and then it will probably be a tough call for the judges to look anywhere else but here. Top, top work. The beauty is in the details as always. Best of luck.
Scott Robinson replied
You honour me fine sir! There`s some killer entries again.. These challenges bring something out in the design ninjas don`t they?
Vinko
Tough call on the colourways but blue seems to stand out better (oranges are always dulled down more than most other colours on RB shirts for some reason). Good choice. And, as always, good work. Nice execution of a an interesting concept. It’ll get my vote :)
Scott Robinson replied
I`ve heard somewhere, that oranges are by FAR the most difficult colours to print via 4 colour process.. Something about the values having to be nothing short of perfect or they can print muddy.
Ed would know better than me if this is true though.
The Blues the entry, Thanks heaps mate, I dig your entry too.
Lucan Industri...
Blue.
Magnificent work.
Scott Robinson replied
Done, and many thanks
nofrillsart
Spot on Scott…spot on. And blue is the goer methinks.
Scott Robinson replied
Ahh thanks Glen. I think once I figured out a desent concept, the rest just fell together.
Malkman
wow mate great work as allways
Scott Robinson replied
Cheers Malkman.. most apppreciated
Rajee
Excellent design.
Scott Robinson replied
Cheers mate
dabones
cool!!
this might win the challenge, I think
Scott Robinson replied
Who can tell eh? But, at least I`ve got a fighting chance, just like everyone else.
Thanks Dabones.
o0OdemocrazyO0o
dude this colour is great too!
my pref is for the sepia brown stylee slightly (2.3%) more stylish :D
Scott Robinson
Ha! Thanks mate,.. 2.3% eh? See, it was that close margin that was making this decision hard for me.
This is the entry though, I hope people still vote for it, even though it is almost 3% less cool
Pip Gerard
Wow!! Scott it’s absolutely incredible!!! am quite blown away.
I love both… but find myself much more drawn to this one.
You’ll get my vote!
This is truly amazing. You must have worked on it for days!!!
One to truly be proud of.
Scott Robinson replied
Damn thanks Pip, at least days, many nights..
To be honest.. I thought a lot about this., Sound is a pretty broad concept, so for me to get something new out of my head, that even came close to what I wanted was the hardest part.
As always, I greatly appreciate your comments.
zomboy
wicked job … halftones are awesome!!
Scott Robinson replied
Thanks Matey.. These halftones are taking some getting used to, but they`re fun as hell.
zomboy
You are doing a great job with them… Im glad you are enjoying the process – its shows in your work….
Pip Gerard
you should add this to your artwork too!! Would look fantastic as a large poster!!
Scott Robinson replied
Hmm, I did consider that.. I may do it once the comp`s clear.
lostboy13
you always come through with the challenges mate and you always give your all.
she`s an awesome piece.
Scott Robinson replied
I do my best mate, and I`ve never been one to half-arse anything. I gave this my full arse! haha
lostboy13
and what a fine artistic arse it is.
hmmm… that sounds a bit wrong.
DApixara
Awesome.
ScarlettVeith
Cool design! It’s been featured in my journal :)
Belinda Leopold
Ahhhh! Most impressive :D
Scott Robinson replied
Not as impressive as remebering someone`s birthday though eh? hahaha… Sorry.
DrawingDown
Just first rate congratulations
Scott Robinson replied
Many thanks DrawingDown.. Glad you like it.
MuscularTeeth
hey scott well done on this truly brilliant artwork.
it instantly reminded me of AMON TOBINS FOLEY ROOM – specifically a track called esthers.
the musician got tiny microphones from a university and recorded WASPS being agressive… and combined that with harley davidson growl and a guitar riff.. its something mechanical/natural and its truly amazing…and your art just fits so so perfectly. i can have no higher opionon of your shirt than by comparing it to amon tobins work.
Scott Robinson replied
Damn Mt, that sounds amazing, I`m off to try and track it down somewhere.. know any place I could start?
I can`t thank you enough for your comments either.. Such high praise from a very talented person..
shelbe
Hay there scotty, Love this shirt. cool print. no worries about that. anytime you should know me.. like the navy color also like the black.. keep smiling. [:
