i really like this, I can't think of anything to do to it..



well unless you tried making it smaller so the whole pin fit on the shirt, but it works well as it is.

Thanks, I'm going to hold the critique for a bit, I tend to toss it into the comp when the critique has no negative comments, then as soon as it starts voting, all the negative comments flood in.



Thanks for the suggestion Garden. I had the full pin on one version, but I dig the detail of the hat too much to minimize it.

There's something about this I really like a lot. Also, it makes me think of A ClockWork Orange
Papaprime
   Papaprime on Dec 29 '07
yeah, the bowler has 2 general associations, aristocratic society and clockwork orange.



Here's a 3rd :)

I really like this for reasons I don't understand. It's probably not something I'd personally wear, but I think it's great all the same. I like your color scheme and the hugeness of the print. :)

Wonderful, witty concept. I hit submit and I'll wear it as is but I have four suggestions you may think constructive. One, the lines going into the top red stripe of the pin and the the line descending towards the brim on the top left of the hat are a bit off. Two, I think an all white pin (sans shadows) would be more graphic and add contrast, drama to the rendered hat. Three, a shadow on the pin under the hat would add depth. Four, the thumb hole should move more towards the finger holes. On a bowling ball, the holes would appear closer and all would be on a spherical plane.



However, leave it as is, and you can still count me in for 5$

i don't really dig the transparent bowling pin. I think it should be filled in with white, or be a different color than the shirt color.

ill agree with roadkill3d:

OMFG!

submit it, right away..



and please please, do not fill the bowling pin with any color. that would be way too much ink.. i dig it just the way it is. size is perfect!
quister
   quister on Dec 30 '07
I see umbrellaboy's point about too much ink. How about an outlined pin on a white shirt?
Papaprime
   Papaprime on Dec 31 '07
thank you, and dammit!



I submitted this early in the afternoon, I will take your suggestions to heart if I ever do a redesign (which is indeed a possibility)



thanks for the comments!
