Always liked the idea of someone doing a shadow puppet but it is something way more elaborate than you could with your fingers.

Damn, beat me to it... Not Vader though.

I would say make vader more transparent so he looks more like a shadow...and off-set him from the hands. maybe stick a light source in the lower right hand corner. GREAT idea.



Crit Please?

Isn't darth vader copyrighted material?

Well there is a Darth Vader T-shirt already been printed on here so I didn't think it would be a problem??

Does it look a bit more shadow puppety now?

The collars are distracting.

You might want to maybe put a candle in front of the hands, down in the corner. And make the shadow a bit flacky, that would be nice!

I thought "gang sign" when I saw it, but that might have been because of my current frame of mind. To help out, I think you could leave the shadow the color of the shirt and instead cast a circle of light around it as though a flashlight were on the hands.

You should take Daquitaine's suggestions. Put a light in front of the hands and a spotlight on Darth.



It could work with just a big spot light on Darth. Right it looks like you flashin'

Zaytony, it's not good etiquette around here to post links to your crit on other peoples subs. Posting a link on other *critiques* is ok, so long as you actually leave a meaningful critique of the work beyond "nice job, look at mine!".



But leaving links on submitted designs is a big no-no. :)

maybe some shadow reflection in the hands?

Print on a dark shirt with "spotlight" effect. Click here to see what I mean



P.S. Not cool to request a critique on someone else's page. Submit one of your own, and ask on that page.

this should explain why it isnt cool to request critiques on submissions..



Neat Check Out Mine

great idea, but im surprised nobody else has mentioned copyright issues. not sure what the rule with those would be. Id get rid of the shirt cuffs.



Any thoughts?

OK people I think he gets it about not leaving a link on people's profile for critiques. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. %60 of the people on here do it.

I like the spotlight idea for this one!

there was a darth vadar death star shrub shirt that got printed... copyright issues are okay sometimes. I like this idea, agree with previous suggestions, definitely worth continuing with though.



If you have time I'd love feedback on mine http://www.threadless.com/critique/27704/My_brain_is_fried

or my first submission :)
