thought of something sick, make tracks go across the skis, like start on the right one, then cross to the left during a turn

i sketched up something like this awhile ago. given my lack of talent though it was pretty mediocre, but the skis were a mountain profile and transitioned from big mountain to groomer to park to urban top to bottom with one set of tracks that wound down through the whole thing. the picture in my mind is sick, but i just couldn't put it down on paper.

i was thinking of mixing that with something else non skiing related, because just that wouldnt be that cool or original

two ideas that could be pretty sick even if they look like shit (sorta silly though) U have some sorta stick figure comic going down or across the skis, just real simple drawings with text.

2. a town of some sort, it could be like a lightining bolt fucking up a house, tornados u name it.

I'm not going to tell you what to put on your skis, thats up to you. but, in my opinion something simple yet really sick is 100x better than something really detailed. personally, i get tired of the really detailed stuff way faster than the simple stuff. remember the old public enemies with the really detailed scene? i got tired of that in like 2 months...

i like the gnarshmallow idea. maybe throw in a drawing of a chairlift or outline or something. kinda like when you hit reply to thread and at the top it says Reply to - - Forums

and the little picture next to it. that would look pretty cool.

you can have the guy on the tips. and the dna on the tails. easy! i suck at drawing on the computer but i might be able to sketch it by hand and scan it or something.

You should start just randomly sketching if your a good drawer and see what it looks like and if one thing sticks out the most you should try and improve that idea like if you were just randomly sketching bunnies and you decided to make it this hood bunny idk for me when I randomly sketch it always looks better.

Use a template its like drawing on paper but it shows up on the computer you use this pen and this flat screen that takes all of the strokes you use and display them in paint or whatever. I am not an artist but I know when I randomly sketch my drawings look a lot cooler to me and sometimes if you take all theses sketches and collage them together they look pretty sick.

okay, encorperating the ns design thingy...you could screen nsg and other forums on your skis! like blow it up on your skis, or have like a page  from if u laugh u loose thread, that would be awsome...but the crayons would also be an AMAZING idea. especially for bottoms. and instead of "crayola" new schoolers or something.
