Resubmission of one I accidentally deleted. Check version 2 coming out in a few minutes.

Sorry about earlier comments being lost...I hit "delete submission" when I only wanted one version deleted. I'm new here, so I guess I needed to learn a few lessons.



As for the graphic, based on comments, I changed the font, but I'm still not sure it's right. Any suggestions as to specific type faces to try would be appreciated.



I also worked on the text, but could use some specific critiques / help with those, as well.

i kind of like some of the slogans, but i think the image itself needs to be changed so you can see it better and understand what it is at a quick glance. interesting concepts -keep working on it. good luck!



please check my critque out if you have time! thanks.

Cropped the gator image to allow more detail and make it more obvious what it was.



Also changed the font size and positioning to what I expect the final version will look like.



Any detailed, specific comments on the font, the image or the slogans would be greatly appreciated.

Try a dark gray for the text instead of the black. Also, perhaps a subtle gator texture in the background to unify everything.



Is this your photograph? If not, it may be rejected. If so, great photo!



Regrdless, it's a neat picture, but I'd work on the word choice a little more- I like the last one best...



Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions. I need to figure out how to add the texture, but the text color will be one in a minute.



and, yes, it is my photo - thanks for the compliment.

Man, alligators make me so horny!!! 5$

Would look nicer if you added some detail of the water (just checked the photo at deviantart) so it doesn't look cropped.

Thanks, humbas, I'll try that.

Based on comments, here, I added the water background, and changed the text (again!)...not surprisingly, I actually like it better - thank you all.



Now, of course, I need to refine the text and font. Soooo...nay specific changes, corrections or complete re-writes you suggest would be greatly appreciated.

If this is going to have chance of being printed, you're either going to have to illustrate it with color or hand draw it. Right now, this just isn't Threadless and I doubt would receive a high score. I do like the slogans, but the image won't work.

Does that mean they don't have the capability to print an image with this detail, or that it doesn't fit the "look and feel" they're going for?

I think it doesn't have the look and feel. From my observation they are gearing away from printing photo like images, or just plain photograph.

Thansk...wasn't sure if it would fit here or not. And since this is my first attempt on this site, I really appreciate the input.



I May have to try a new style...hmmmmm.

i like the contrast of the image. i don't think the blurrey thing really works. if you can get the image looking strong enough i think you could lose the text altogether. happy fiddling x

Hey Juno!

The water adds much to the scene, and the gators don't seem to be cropped as they were. But I must agree with Orcsbane and CalvinK regarding the "photo style" of your art. I think you should try to draw it yourself, or maybe vectorize it on Corel or Illustrator (It will surely take some time, but it'll add personality to your work) :D

Thanks for the input, folks...although not what I was hoping to hear, I truly do appreciate the honesty.



I dread the amount of work vectorizing this will take...particularly since I suck at drawing (hence my preference for photography) ....AAARRRGGHHH...I was hoping it would be easier. :-)



Oh well, I guess I better get started in Illustrator. :-(

i like the idea, but I think the excecution needs some work

it would look better as a vector, so i say give it a shot

Hi Agree that the slogans are nice, the image is just a little grainy though, can the image be enhanced with phtotshop or by hand?

thanks for your feedback to my popcorn.



like somebody already said...if you can vectorise it...in my opinion there are too many details now. and about the slogan, text....I am not naitiv english...so for me its just a sentence....is there more behind it?

I think that by hand it'd have a better chance at doing well.

The text adds the comic aspect to it which gives it potential.

Crit me?

Good idea.

the white is def my fav, niiiiice

i agree about vectorizing it - make it less of a photograph and more of a drawing. i like the black and white.

Ok, folks...I vectorized the image, lost the text and changed colors on some of the gators



Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated...even if it's "give it up, Dude, this will never work here!"



Appreciate all your help so far.

hi junosgold, i think this has potential, however the outline and the scales on the crocs have vertually dissapeared, so the shadows are now too dominant. I think you need to do some work on creating a recognisable outline and perhaps bring the full tail back in, in the foreground. I think it will make quite a striking image in the end.

Keep going

Yeah, I like the idea but the image isn't very clear. x

Thanks...I'll keep at it....one good thing - it has forced me to re-learn Illustrator and strengthen my technique...so all is not lost!. :-)

heyyy!!!... I like the idea and the concept and i think that u can work with the outlines...keep working and u will see the results!!...good luck!!
