Hulk Challenge at Threadless

Hey all, just trying to figure out the best way to get my Threadless submissions out there. Looking into Tumblr, Flicker, Pinterest, etc. to see what drives the most traffic to Mudge Studios Threadless page. There are a very limited number of days available for open scoring- so I need to determine how to use my time wisely when promoting these subs. I believe that Voting is open until May 02, 2013. If you have a chance, Please vote and score some of my Hulk Tee shirt designs over at Threadless.
In this experiment, I've included all six Hulk subs, each with a caption and a link to the Threadless site where one can score the designs. Thanks for browsing!

Green Hulk and Red Hulk Arm Wrestling

Gray Hulk

Hulk as The Thinker

Green Hulk Not Happy Anymore
This is the revised version of the Incredibly Happy Hulk t-shirt design that I first submitted for the challenge. I made some major changes to the Hulk's facial expression. Let's just say... Hulk Not Happy Anymore.
Hulk Burden Earth
Hulk Burden Earth
For this Hulk challenge I've depicted Hulk as Atlas struggling under the tremendous weight of the Earth as the human race as a whole finally succumbs to temptation, of total selfishness, greed, corruption and violence towards one another. The fall of man is symbolized by a fiery rage that has completely over shadows even the notorious rage of Hulk. Hope you like it.

Voting open until May 02, 2013. If you have a chance, Please vote and score some of my Hulk Tee shirt designs over at Threadless.
Featured above we have Hulk in the classic Thinker's pose struggling and saying it ain't easy being gray. Click the following link to score it http://thrdl.es/~/2a0c A pathetic frog looks up at the Hulk and sighs- yeah, try being Green. Of course, everybody knows that It Ain't Easy Being Green. Well, everybody except for the Incredible Hulk.
This sub was Inspired by Rodin's classic sculpture The Thinker. Featured is the gray skinned version of The Hulk as seen in the debut of the Incredible Hulk back in 1962. Originally Stan Lee wanted gray because it was a neutral skin color and did not point to a particular ethnicity. Green was finally chosen after seeing all of the inconsistencies with the gray skin tones in the first publication.

TMNT Challenge at Threadless Voting Closes on 4/23/2013

Please score some of my tee shirt designs over at Threadless by April 23,2013. Threadless had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle challenge, so I thought that I'd give it a shot by submitting 4 entries this week. The above TMNT tee features Raphael wielding his weapons of choice and utilizing them as Pizza Forks. The more votes and the higher the scoring means greater potential for having a design printed. The following link should take you to my designs page where you will see the designs below. Thanks in advance. Mudge

It's Pizza Time Close Up
Just had some fun with this one. There were a few hours remaining prior to the challenge deadline- so I sketched this one out fairly swiftly and added some color, etc. Here we have the gang climbing to the top of one Of New York Citys skyscrapers where there are preparing for their pizza feeding frenzy. Goal was to give the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a loose, whimsical stylization.
It's Always Pizza Time
Another Stylized submission featuring Michelangelo skateboarding in NYC while snarfing down a slice and a can of soda.

Pizza and TMNT Time!
My First TMNT Entry. This one was all about getting a simple idea out there and completing it it. Once I did that, the other submissions evolved more efficiently. Remember, if you have a chance- Please vote.
The more votes and the higher the scoring means greater potential for having a design printed. The following link should take you to my designs page. Thanks in advance.
