I thought of this this morning and sketched real quick. Makes me laugh I hope it makes you laugh as well.

Placement would either be right chest or center bottom

make it a better drawing and we'll talk, I don't have enough to go off of right now.

Ok. I am planning on refining it some, you know who you are stupid feet and sign letters. I do however like the overall feel of the simple duck. I though possibly making another creature holding the sign.

I double posted, I blame my blackberry for not refreshing after I posted it the first time.

another animal holding the sign might be interesting

What kind of animail? I could also just do the white gloved cartoon hand reaching out of the bush.

Make it Mickey Mouse's white gloved cartoon hand. Then it would be more socio-political and multi layered.

Your guys think a yellow duck. I am thinking of placing the design on a brown shirt

i like the idea of another animal holding the sign.. give the illustration more depth maybe? i like the concept, but needs more detail perhaps.. good luck!

i've got some designs on the chopping block, if you have time..have at 'em!! thanks!

needs a lot of work maybe?

add character to it. improve the duck itself and lose the bushes

just being honest pal.

If you have 25 hours, pls find some time to critique my first ever post....thanks, welcome, happy new year, merry christmas and yosh.

AREGATO!

I cleaned up the duck a little and am trying to decide which way this needs to go...

Here is a different tact, and on a shirt

Very funny idea and well executed. Make it bigger. Hit me back.

I actually kinda like this!

If you want to retrace the direction, have his farm rival 'the chicken' holding the sign calling him lame.

-OR-

Put the ducks legs in two plaster casts and give him crutches. Make him LAME!

Fatheed, both of those ideas are awesome. I think I am going to stay this direction

What do you guys think size wise. Does it need to be bigger? or is it fine the size it is?

make it bigger. make it take up two thirds of the width of the tee.

Slide three is a trick. It was supposed to be a big nice detail of the design, instead it is just white. So ignore slide three. Slide one is bigger on dark gray, slide two is smaller on black.

Looks better bigger, but I like the previous suggested idea of the crutches, or any way you can get the duck to be the right way up. Looking good though :)

Looks better. Yeah making the duck hobbled would be pretty hilarious.

What if I where to do it a little something like this

Here is the lame duck, does it need a crutch?

yes. it always needs a crutch

A tiny tim crutch?

Awwww poor little ducky.
I'd go with the crutch. Put it under his wing and he'll be even more adorable!
And hey, give him a pair of puppyeyes. No one can resist those.

Care to help with one last comment on this one? :3

There you go! Keep building on this idea. Crutches.. only if they don't clutter it up. Keep it simple.

i would say yes to the crutch, but only if its under his right wing, (so it doesn't clutter it up..) and since he's been hurt on the left leg, i don't know if that works..

It is possible to move the cast,I was thinking that adding a crutch could clutter it up a little.

I added a crutch and it made it look to cluttered, I really didn't like the way it looked. Anyone have comments on size, placement, shirt color before I submit?

anyone...

alright, I have a few final touches then it is off to the races

new version up in here, up in here

To crutch or not to crutch

Aflac?

Wha...

what is this about? Why a lame duck?

when a president is just waiting for their term to end

SUBMIT!! HILARIOUS
