Just an idea I had. It needs a bit of developement methinks. Excuse the crappy doodle.

It's pretty sure on the colours but everything else is liable to change.

I think I'm going to replace Nessie with something a bit less cryptozoological. Is that even a real word?

haha, you should have a resurrected category and put the wooly mammoth in there!

No, Nessie and Bigfoot are awesome!

Dinosaurs were a myth

Just make the font hand written... (for now at least, since its obv rough)

I could make a resurected category! I wanted an excuse to put a zombie and/or a vampire in...

nice! how about cyclops! medusa! grim reaper! mermaid/merman!

Switched the order around and a new category added.

hahaha nice! i feel like the "least concern" should be the last category, like in the previous version, since it seems like the biggest punchline of the design. it's tough though, since there seems to be a few different things happening, with the non-real creatures being present in this.

i like the overall gradation of color feel... as well as the intermingling of fantasy creatures... is the couple holding hands signifying marriage? or is that just representing humans?

Yeah. I might swap it back around, but keep 'resurrected after 'least concern'. Thanks guys.

Keep it in this order. The humor builds as one reads down.

that was precisely my reasoning for the change. I'm thinking if I do swtich it back, I might pop the resurrected bit on the back... Hmmm.

crazy illo you got going right now. i know it's a rough and all, but are you going to maintain the glowing-outline style through to the final?

love this, aled.

Can we get a griffin instead of a unicorn? I'm sick of bloody unicorns. Endangered? Pah!

The world still loves unicorns, man. It's a fact of life!

lol.

First 2 lines show the kind of finish I'm going for.

looking good, great concept you have here! One minor issue so far, the big cat on the right looks a little too much like the puma logo.

I like it. haha. Don't know how I feel about it on a black shirt though. I love the random ones. If you get a chance vote on my Slogans

lookin great, man. I'd reconsider including the unicorn - people really are starting to get tired of them. Not me, but you gotta please the crowd...right?

Also, a gradual gradient fade between colors might work really nice with this, instead of completely separate colors for each line..

Nice call on the fade! I might have a go at that. Yeah - Unicorns are a bit passe now, but they've been passe since I joined Threadless and people still like them (voters and buyers, if not the community in the forum). I will keep it in for now, but will listen to further feedback and see if it need changing. Thanks bud.

I like it, I'd like to see how it progresses for sure! I wonder if three for each category is much. Maybe a row of one each as an alternative?

With gradient

Bumpasaurus!

fun concept! I like the text, yay for handwritten, but it looks kind of rough, might want to touch up the lines, smooth them out a little. Also, resurrected part = win.

Wait, what is the first of the Resurrected?

An Ibex. I think I'm scrapping him for Jesus.

maybe make endangered a little more orange.

I would stay away from religion if you can.

phoenix maybe

Hmmm.

hahaha just do it!

I rather like it.

Trying a variation on the other version.

Im loving this!... especially the unicorn under "endangered" and the zombie under "resurrected!!!

please check out my design and vote for it! :)

this is brilliant fatheed

i absolutely love the new type.

awesome idea. but what's the reasoning behind the woolly mammoth as being resurrected? i know they've found some frozen in permafrost and whatnot, and have discussed the possibility of cloning a mammoth via gestation in a cow, but was that what you're going for?

Thanks guys. Yeah - that was pretty much my thinking, bio. I could swap the mammoth with the t-Rex and make it a reference to Jurassic Park... Or scrap the mammoth and do a phoenix rising from the ashes...

Or. I may swap the take away the fairy and put in the mammoth to make the first line serious and put a phoenix in the place of the mammoth under 'resurrected'.

this is very, very good. a little bit more color on 'ressurrected', I think, cause this part is the funniest

the phoenix would be nice too

Scientific.

Now with Phoenix.

Going on a comment in the previous version... I think I may go with Resurrected in white. It kinda works.

Big foot don't look "hair" at the moment.

"hairy"*

yeah Fatheed, this is a pretty printable design IMO. I really love it.
just a thought, why not a silver (or even gold) metallic ink for the resurrected? anyway, i don't think it need more work, you can put it in the running ;)

Thanks Jebs. Yeah - I though of that. If anything. I think I'd use a reflective ink. The idea was always to have that section as a subtle addition. A footnote, almost. I don't really want to make it too conspicuous.

Ta for the hairy suggestions, past-t

yep fatheed, i agree about that, and congrats of course about the price of besttee of the year (best designer if i remember well), that was my choice, keep up the good work ;)

Awesome, the phoenix is definitely better than the mammoth
yeah this should be printed already! Yea and i agree with having the "resurrected" section subtle, like it was kind of snuck in there!
GREAT JOB!

if you get the chance my first threadless submission is up for voting!
Check it out here, SpoiledSweetTooth!

So I'm pretty sure this is the one I'm subbing.

I submitted it.

It's HERE!

Really Cool!

haha is the unicorn a reference to dick firestorm?

Hehehe. It could be.

hey dude i LOVE your designs, i giggled @ just about every one, do you think you could give me some advice on mine? it would be greatly appreciated!!! btw my friend was wearing ur "Not as far as you think" shirt today! Bigfoot's Discovery!

i bet that this will be a 3.xx final score and a print, good luck dude ;) (for me it's obviously a 5$, as it's well done, pretty smart, funny, and perfect for a cool tee...what else? ^^)

Thanks man. Let's hope so :)

hahahahaha! i like that you placed man in the same category as the cockroaches, and then there's a section for resurrection...

it's a class idea. i really like the colours used and how it's obvious what each silhouette is.

Please vote for my tee

Cheers,

Sean

This is totally a Threadless T. go for it, submit it!

I would def buy this shirt. I would like it shift slightly to the left so that the words are more at my sides and the animals more centered, but I dunno. I like the way it is also haha

Please take a look at the final option for my design before submission. Back shown only please go to version 5 for front. Thank you :)
