It's all there - the bling, the booty, the fancy rides! Weren't pirates the original gangstas?

Nice, but too big i think. Could maybe do with a pirate hat too

Ya, I agree.

And some accessories like ring, smoking pipe.



Anyway,

Please Critique mine if you have time, Thank you:

http://www.threadless.com/critique/27553/What_are_they_thinking_about_us

The type is unnecessary I think. Adding some obviously gangsta accessories would be great. I kind of like the size... maybe a tad smaller.



If you have the time I'd love feedback also

http://www.threadless.com/critique/27428/There_s_a_U_shaped_hole_in_my_heart

you should also make the gold teeth stand out more. Try putting this on a black t.

Without the title, you wouldn't know it was a pirate. The Gang sign is cool though.

Yea, Black shirt is soo pirate.

I like it ^^

Yeah, more bling accessories would be aaawesome! A huge ring, a bandana...



If you want to keep the text so that people know it's a pirate, then maybe make it into a super bling necklace, cos at the moment it looks like it's interfering with your design.



pls crit mine too

more pirate stuff, eye patch hat/bandanna, hook, or cutlass.

haha i like it a lot, smaller and with more accessories... great idea though! please check out my critique as well!!!

You asked for honesty, so here goes. I love the concept- you are a funny dude. I would like to see the right combination of more "pirate" accessories (eyepatch?) and/or a little more 'gangsta" (like a grill?) I still like it mucho and would totally buy this shirt...

I agree, good concept but needs more pirate stuff. maybe on black too.. try out a few different placements as well.

good concept eh i think you should give him hard out bling on his fingers



and definitely try it on a black tee



can you critique mine please http://www.threadless.com/critique/27663/It_could_happen

Cool, but needs more pirate/gangsta props. Cane and Flintlock for the "CROSS BONES" maybe a bandana, rings, etc. Hard to see the "S" in the fingers. Is there a way to accentuate that?

Oh, and I should mention that I don't necessarily think he's finished. I'm just trying to get a feel for the right direction before taking more of a plunge into a specific direction. Thanks for the feedback!

I don't think the first comment showed up:



Added some pirate gear and coin backdrop. I don't want to distract too much from the gang sign, so I was trying to keep the accessories low. Also, I didn't want to go all out thug, but rather show the pirate bits that cross over. Your comments helped me make some decisions about what to bring in. So how do you think this is working? Still more? Accessories not up to par? I added the coin backdrop as a final bit of flare for the gangster/pirate reference. I think it could work, just let me know if you agree!

personaly, I prefer the first version. I also think this design would work better on a dark blue shirt. and also just black and white.

I don't mind the rings, but the coins are a bit much. Darker colors would allow the gang sign to pop out more. What about a small skull engraving tattoo instead of a bandana? Either that or a different color bandana that doesn't pull from the hands.

Hmm.. I'm still not feeling the gangster crossover, the bling is good but it is still the traditional pirate. Without the title I'm not sure if you'd get the connection. I agree about trying it on a dark shirt too, to make it pop.



I'd love some feedback on my second design if you have time

http://www.threadless.com/critique/27704/My_brain_is_fried

i would go for the first version too

i like the second verison but i think that maybe move the word "seaside" down a tad. and put it on a darker shirt to emphasize the hands but.

but i like cant wait to see finshed design.

the coins should go. Also i liked the placement more the first time around.

I love the idea and the sketchiness - but the writing "seaside" should either go, or be moved down from the hands - it's too busy otherwise. :)

no coins, on dark blue, v2. maybe test it out without the text

i love v1 but i think the hands shud be put into a more "gangsterish" pose e.g crossed middle fingers? flickin the v's?

Yeah, I'm not sure what sign he's making with the hands. I'd say ditch the coins and keep the design simple.

So the title just isn't working for me - and perhaps you too. I think I should just title it "Seaside." You people are clever and can catch the subtleties of the pirate/gangsta reference without my drawing too much attention to it through the title. I really didn't want to make this a gangsta T, so I opted to stick closer to the pirate reference with only the "Seaside" gang sign to create the anachronism.

Oh - and I had intended on having the gold teeth printed with gold foil.

make it more fshionable to look like a real pirate

more gold accessories like an earring, if not on then fallen down

may be chain too..

Really cool! Is there any way to make that S shape made with the fingers more visible? I almost missed it and it's sweet.

Critique mine?

http://www.threadless.com/critique/29015/Be_careful_what_you_shadow_puppet

I think the eye sockets need to be darker. I don't know if I like the lines on the red bandana so light either. Really great over all though!



Critique please?



http://www.threadless.com/critique/29014/Dreaming_of_Red

Are you planning on vectoring this or is it supposed to look drawn? I think it would look much better vectored.

Also, and I know it may be too late for this, I think it'd make more sense if he were doing a 'P' for "pirate" rather than an 'S'.



Mind commenting mine?

http://www.threadless.com/critique/28933/The_Abstract

best versionmso far nice u need som smooth nice inking and while u go it ull looses this sharp line ok? and try make foils and shimmer maybe on rings!

yes indeed v3 is the best version so far, but the lines can be clean up a bit

hahahaha!! "Seaside" hilarious!! I'd put in an old english type font and add color to the banner.



thx for checking out my critique



PS - I LOVE the title!!

maybe some gangsta logo for the head band

Are you in the bloods gang ? Ha ha ha

If you have time :

htttp://threadless.com/critique/384783/The crazy fish

I really like ur idea! definitely very sellable :) maybe clean up the sketch a little... and ur set.



Thanks for ur comments.... i've made a couple of changes ... let me know what u tihnk

http://www.threadless.com/critique/28873/The_Buddha_amp_the_Blossom

I like this but not sure on the type work on the tee. "seaside"

I'd make the linework and eyesockets black instead of grey. otherwise the color choices are good.

SUPERCREW? LOL, I like it but I agree with almost everybody vectored would look nicer



comment on mine pls: http://www.threadless.com/critique/29119/Funk

I'm surprised that several people want to see "vector" lines. You guys do realize this is a vector drawing, right? I get what you're asking though. You don't like the hand drawn sketch. I really wanted this effect in the image; it just seems more appropriately moody in that style. I've got some ideas, however. I think my next stab will be the go forward - at some point I'll just have to move on and hope for the best.

I went a different direction to test the waters. This is certainly more sinister, which wasn't exactly my original intention. However, I wanted to see what the public's take on the scratchiness was after I pushed it to the limits. I also dropped the rings - they really didn't do anything for me.

I like this line quality a lot more.

this is really funny!! i would reduce the colours so it's chance of print would be higher.

There are actually only 6 colors present in the vector. In order to simulate the thinner lines, I may need to go to 8 colors if it were to ever print. I also found myself wondering if they actually needed to print black if I print on a black shirt.

hmm thanks for your comment, really interesting!



great idea for a start but there are small things i would change:



the SEASIDE need a bin more urban OR piratey font



See how you for letters with your hands? maybe try to produce an S for Seaside with them?



redo the "scractchy-thing" in the middle of the bandana, it looks kinda rushed like that



thanks again for your comment!

Really nice, What are we talking placement wise? Seaside for life

Wow, this one is nice. I like what you have done with the hands ^_^ The type needs work. That little wonky E on the end that doesn't quite line up would drive me crazy if it was on my shirt. Nice work, this has really progressed into something great!

I like the crosshatching a lot more on this one.

hatching shading effect has a nice feel to it, controlled but still raw. I like it. What do you think of mine?





http://www.threadless.com/critique/29204/Mousetrap

It's in the review bin...



Seaside

I like the illustration, just the SEASIDE font, isn't the best.
