I have designed this piece in the hopes that if it gets printed I will make a large donation to PETA\'s sister site circuses.com to help stop animal cruelty and animal circuses.

However, I know I am over my color limit and I need some creative ideas to lower the color count and still keep the quality.

anybody?

Well... it's a stupid idea but... maybe you could use the same color for more stuff.... like... Stop using the blue for elephant and balloon decorations and use the orange that's already on the tiger... etc... Thanks for the belt print idea!

stupid? wtf?

Haha... I love this.

Hahahaha, I love this!

great design! i dont really like the feather on the horse though, but thats a small thing..

horse - same color as the monkeys.
elephants tongue could reduce some colors too..

thanks, is it the style of the feather o it being there at all, because I put it there since most of the performing horses are decorated with fancy trappings and feathers, also I am trying to consolidate colors. I am allowed 8, right?

I like it.. I think that the elephant is illustrated really well, I kind of feel like the horse and tiger could use some more work though. the balloon looks great.

yeah and then the 8 color thing.

Would you mind taking a look at mine.. butterflies thanks

yes 8!

i love this design. and i think ilv1 was saying that his/her idea was stupid (even though it wasnt) not yours.

ah, thanks for the clarification, I asumed that as well, I was just confused, this is crits, there is no such thing as a stupid idea

ok, this is eight colors:

red
dark red
orange
dark orange
blue
dark blue
tan
dark tan

why does the elephant have a red eye?

I had to eliminate the color black and the next darkest color to replace it with was the dark red

and the dark blue didn't look as good as the red

use the brown shadow of the balloon for his eye color

that is the same color

ok, this one has a mixed color line art, it is the dark blue and the dark red, how about it?

the detail is fantastic.

thank you, I have spent a lot of time on this

if you are going to say it needs work, please explain

is this ready to sub?

sub it id wear it now! it looks great and ill definately pay for this. it would be great as a lil kids tee as well

submit this it is awesome. i think Mourir is right, it would be awesome as a little kids tee

excellent, then I shall sub it now

yea it would look kool on a little kid

image ain't showing up. :-/

based on the previous version....
great illustration.. i think it needs more depth though. maybe some depth using halftones and the dark blue color as a shadow or something.... i dont know. i think clouds would look awesome... but you dont have a light enough color to do that with.

lemme know when the image is fixed. :-) i'd like to stay updated. :-)

please upload again :(
i can't see it!

^ Yah, what they said. No luck seeing the pic.

btw, if you have a sec...
