Four Tiki Godsby ~elephantblue

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

This is a design I'm playing around with for a t-shirt. The second design, which I'm submitting after this, is the one I was initially going to do, but this looked pretty fun as well when I put it together.

A quick breakdown of the tikis represented here, in the order they're standing... these are the main four tiki gods used in Hawaiian designs. Of course, every tiki artist has a different way of doing them, but this is mine.
Ku: the main tiki god. Warlike, god of strength.
Kane: the creator of earth and man, giver of life.
Kanaloa: the "squid god", god of the ocean. Compassionate and loving.
Lono: Fertility god, god of music and of peace.

I'm going to try to get these guys on a t-shirt, but I have to get friendly with Photoshop first, and I'm not too familiar with the program. We'll see!

Your renditions of these tiki gods make them look like they're 100% fun. Although Ku looks like he still needs about five more glasses of punch before he can get his party on.

I love these! I couldn't pick a favorite. I think this would look amazing on a tote bag, maybe in a grid of four by four? I like the ones in color, too, and I would maybe do one in jungle tones, like gecko green, red, yellow and sky blue, or even all in greens. How boss. We could go to Spoonflower and have custom fabric printed, too, so we could make pillows, bags, even plushies!

I wonder if we could jury-rig a screenprinter?... THE POSSIBILITIES
