It'd be soo sick if you coloured those in

don't get me wrong they look awsome, like I-would-impulse-buy-that-shit-awsome, but I think a little colour could do this a lot

so fucking sick. like, thats so damn good.

but yea, if you added a tiny bit of real bright colors, in some random sections. like, not even 10% of it, but around there with color. that would look fat

It's way too busy for me.  I think if you took a few of the ideas off them and worked with that they could be a lot more interesting;  right now it's kind of an agglomeration of small ideas without a very solid connection.  But then again, art is subjective--if you like it, that's all that matters.

if you really want a critique...
i would say that you might want to consider adding colors.. not necessarily all of it color but in a few spots add some colors so you can see it on the slopes better.
then i would also say that you should try and make the lines sharper.. maybe use a sharper pointed sharpie to get more crisp detail

other than that they are real ill.. keep up the good work

They look really sick in black and white so in my opinion leave em colorless. BUT ... If you do want a critique, I find that the graphics are really similar to all other k2 graphics. Maybe thats what you were going for and they are sick graphics but they look reeeaaaallllyyy similar to most other K2 Graphics.

I really like the black and white. It is a little too busy for my liking...which isn't always a bad thing, but if you would just stick to one basic idea or category that would be good. It looks kinda random right now. Still dope though.

IDK man i love the B&W but i think it would be sick with some color like the new invaders maybe.
But seriously you should email that design to one of the big company's that is amazing!!
SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd actually seriously consider buying them if I saw them, well maybe not because they're really PE's which are too stiff for me but if they were Invaders that'd be a different story!

ok those are some dope ass graphics.
but i think you should keep them black and white because if you add one color then then you will want to add another then another then another, and it will just look too confusing and cluttered. but you made those graphics so sick so i think you would be the right person to make them colored

don't add any colour. every time i've added colour to any of my works, in any medium, they end up looking worse than they did without it. it's why i bought a scanner, to scan my pictures onto the computer and add colour to a digital copy rather than the original. you won't be able to do that with your skis.
