Check out a JUMBO VIEW



Let me know what ya think, I'm open to anything.



Also, not sure if this should be listed as 5 or 3 colors...

there are 3 colors, White, Coral and a Blue/Gray.

there are 70% screens of the Blue/Gray and Coral colors which can be listed as 2 more colors ... Just not sure if screens are 100% acceptable.



Title ideas?

Pretty awesome so far.



The clouds over the water deserve some more detail. The reflections should have ripples and distortions.

Add another fish to the bottom. And what is going on with the umbrella? Is it holding that white fluffy stuff, or is it a cloud in the background?

the only thing that confused me was the white over the umbrella

ooo wow that's nice.

i like how her hair goes over the umbrella handle.

a title could be

"Goldfish"

or obviously something more complicated. i'll think of more later.

so the consensus is that the water in the umbrella is not easily recognizable as water....



i'll get on it.





anyone else??

Gorgeous....and even though I didn't know that was water above the umbrella doesn't matter...I thought ist was fog or steam, which would still work. I like the mix of clean vectors with the textures and patterns.

   melh696 on Apr 09 '07
i kind of liked the abiguity of the water above the umbrella...

the whole thing is kind of vague, is she falling from above or rising from below... ? ya know?



OOO you guys are awesome with the titles!

Stellar work!



One nit-pick, the water on top appears to be behind the umbrella, not in the umbrella, since you can see the outline of the back edge (as if it were empty).
melh696
   melh696 on Apr 13 '07
THANK YOU!

That's the portion i am working on, i wanted you to be able to see the back half of the umbrella to show more depth... i think it's a matter of a color change....



V2, when i have time :(

The umbrella's hook handle looks a bit off.

I'd move the clouds a bit farther away from the umbrella...



That's it. Then you should sub!

Why not call it "not sure of a title" ?

Hell, it is as good as any other and this design doesn't need a title... maybe "Title Not Required"

sillybanana on Jul 28 '07
What the hell ramonestattoo!? Why are you topping all the old critiques of shirts that have already been subbed and have had decent scores?????



There are a lot of critiques in the blogs that are still works in progress and you are pushing them to the next page and out of view by topping the old ones that no longer need critiquing.

A good design for sure, except the clouds should have the same texture as the water, and a more distorted reflection.

Excellent artwork!



My only comment critique would be to define the body of water more. Maybe, you should throw some color contrast with they sky. Possibly a darker shade of blue?





Definitely submit it.

I thought she had clouds in her umbrella. You need to give it some swirls to make it seems more wave-y. Plus maybe a hint of muted blue.

I like it, esp the tiny fish on the top, however you can work a bit more on her face and arms, make them more detailed. They are a little bit unclear when should be the center of attention.
