Just an idea I had with Spring Break & summer in mind. Feedback is welcome!

Not your strongest idea, IMHO. Still decent, though. It'll probably print. ;)

Thanks man. I have a feeling it will do alright, but it might need some development.

Agreed. Could have a bit of success. Going with outlines or actual characters on this one?

Have you considered adding another 3 dives? I like where this is headed. Is there any merit in displaying a water line under each diver, or is that too much?

Care to share your thoughts here?

New version with another 3 added.

'The Running Man' and old favourite of mine. 'The Pencil' as suggested. And 'The Segway' (or 'The Gob Bluth'), which I just made up.

Crits aren't what they used to be!

It was a stupid idea, anyway.

I don't think it's a stupid idea man. Just needs more work - the 3 new ones are drawn in a different manner than the others and the can opener and banana don't look like they're jumping, but more like sitting. The idea is not bad at all.

you need to put it ona template. also you could makethe divers more clear, outline them in black or color the in or something

Hey I just thought of this. You might make a style called A coward or something like that and put on a guy a swimming tube for kids. Maybe?

I gave up on critiques a few months ago :(

But I do love this idea - remind me a lot of your flying objects - specially the colors

yeah man.. it's tough...

i dig where this is going btw

I really like the idea of this :) I also think that maybe replacing one of the dives with the "coward" as chubra suggested could be a great fit for this. Have him right up against the edge of the pool, scared, with those arm floaty things or a life vest or something in the shallow end :-p Would def. like to see it carried out!

about some of them seeming not to be jumping, you could add some of those lines that means it's in movement.. in the back of the guys.. i think it's a pretty good idea.. your designs are good and simple at the same time, and that is hard to achieve and you do it nicely..

btw dude, i'm just new in these kind of art and everything, i'd appreciate any idea/critique you can give to my designs..

see you around

The pencil should have a tiny splash.

Thought I'd revist this idea with a new angle. Let me know what you think. Ta

i Feel the diving boards are too noticeable, maybe lighten the outline up and add a bit darker of a gray as an outline to the divers. i think the key should go on the back... or maybe have the two in reverse? play around with this.


Could you check out my design please?

difficult to kind of tell how this is going to look at the moment as it is so sketchy (i'm presuming you're going to do the divers like they are on the previous versions?)
i would stick the key on the back or the sleeve. it's a very original way of doing one of these key type design though - i think the diving board is a great edition and will make for a really intereseting looking shirt.

If you can spare a chance to click a button or type a comment, my hamster would love your vote!

diving related subs are in at the moment lol do it, I think the key would be better going on the sleeve rather than the back

ps sweet choice of thumbnail image

Why not have the object that the dive is named after going off the board? For example; a can opener, a flying squirrel a watermelon. They could be cartoon with arms, legs and faces or more realistic.

Critique me?
