Here's a different version to make it look more 3D, i think it still needs some work but im not sure what.. what do you lot think?



(Sorry, i had to re-upload this cus the critique went wrong =( )

hhaha i like it! clever. maybe put them in a boxing ring? or incorporate fire somehow?

Check mine out please!

Someone had the idea of having them box inside a Match box, lol, i might try and implement that somehow.. And im not sure how i'd put fire into it.. anyone got any ideas?

Hello there. Hm, I think the matches needs a face, with some facial expressions, because they're "boxing" each other. Also, maybe some "whoosh", or rather, action lines around the arm areas to show more action? Hope this helps (:



Critique Potato Killer



Score Milk Shake

I tried putting a face on it but i just feel like it doesn't work.. Maybe because i'm not sure how to draw faces for Matches, lol, can anyone give me some tips on how i should draw the face?

I added some anime elements, as in, I followed some anime facial expressions. That was how I did my design. Maybe you could take a look at these links:



Drawing expressions



Facial expression tutorial



Anime expressions



(:

Thank you so much fat_lip! I'll try adding a face to my match and upload a new version.. Or i might add them to a boxing ring before i make a new one, but i wanna see how the face looks first.

You're welcome..



Score Milk Shake (:

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this one



Enjoy! (:

nice chek my-n out!

maybe if you could draw in some sort of a spark at the point of impact of the punch...

Or have the guy's head on fire and a really worried expression on his face, which would imply that the friction of the punch lit the match



critique mine

I actually really like that idea as well M450, i never thought of that.. I'll try and put it into effect =] Thank you

Added the burn marks to both the gloves and the head and also set the right matches head on fire to show that they're more of a match than a chip...... And also added the ropes to show they're in a boxing ring.. Any help would be greatly appreciated

New version because there weren't any shadows on the ropes.

i really like the idea of the match box. the tshirt may look better if the design is moved to the top or centre of tshirt

I really like this idea. Another funny scene would be when the ref declares the winner by pullin his arm up, and the loser match is burnt out. Just a thought though. I think it might look better if you added a corner of the ring, behind the one that is getting boxed. keep it up good work.

If you got time please crit me

I think it needs to say Boxing Match somewhere, it was the title which made me click...

Yep- sign or banner saying 'Tonight!

Boxing Matches!" I would show some cheering Zippo lighters, candles, maybe a blowtorch for the audience. But that's me.

I'd accentuate the angles of the arms, especially the punch arm, make it look like a forceful punch..... The flame could possibly be coming from the punch contact, so perhaps move it towards the front.



Please take a look at mine if you have a chance:

http://www.threadless.com/critique/42917/Birth

http://www.threadless.com/critique/42942/Beach

http://www.threadless.com/critique/43013/VHS

Okay.. So move the flame forward more towards the punch and accute the angel of the arms so it looks stronger..



Are you sure adding 'Tonight: Boxing Match' is necessary?



And also, should I keep the shadow on the ropes or not?

i think the rope shadow looks weird

I was thinking the same thing, Agrimony.. Do you think the ropes on Version 2 looked better?

Oh, funny idea.

Maybe next to the one in flame, the other could be already lightened and burned, black. Dunno.



Please, give me some feedback on My Super Corn... ;-)

its fine :D

Allan BARTE.. That is freakin' genius! I'm gunna put that straight in and see how it looks :D

Changed the arms to make the punches more forceful.



Flipped the flame to the other side of the head.



Added a burnt out match to the floor.



Still not too sure about the shadow on the rope..



Can anyone help?

Someone please help me, I need to know what everyone thinks.. Especially on the shadow on the rope.

Bump

the idea is realy cool!

maybe the shadow on the ropes can be the same color but darker, or as the shadow of the head!

Hmm.. Yeah, i see what you mean.. I'll give that a try.. Anything else?

Alright, so here's the next version.. Basically, I changed the shadow on the Red and Blue ropes to a darker shade of each colour.. Unfortunately, I couldn't do the same on the white ropes, as it would mean I exceed my 8 colour limit.

yeah u can try the darker shade, if it doesnt work v2 was fine really.



also your flame looks abit weird coming out of 1 side like that. i suggest engulfing the whole head if you have to have the flame

I can't make the shadow on the white any different though, can I? I've already used 8 colours.



And Hmm.. Interesting idea.. I'll try that and see how it looks.

hm, you actually do have 1 more color you could try, thats using the tee color. if it doesnt work with this tee, you can always use a different tee colour.

Ooh, good idea :P Alright, I'll give that a go =] Thanks so much for the help, Agrimony

Okay.. This time i've changed the shade of shadow on the white rope to the colour of the shirt, as suggested, and tried to engulf the head of the match with a flame.. Not too sure about it though.. What does everyone else think? Please help

Bump

Bump (Again)

Can someone tell me whether on not I should keep the flame.. Or change it back to the way it was?

Like the fire, but it looks like the match has a funky hair doo. Do a google image for "fire match" for some references.

Have you thought of removing the black outlines? Might make a difference.

Good work. Needs a bit of work, but keep it up.

A thought: Since one match is on fire, maybe it can be KO'ed on the ground, with the other match celebrating.

Yeah, I did try it without the outline but it just looked gross over the shirts colour.. And, from all the pictures I've seen on Google, there's a small space between the match head and the flame.. But I'm not sure that would give the right effect on my shirt.

How about reversing the gradient. So it goes:

-Red [the match head]

-Yellow [the start of the flame]

-red [tip of the flame]

Or, better yet, you could try giving it a black head.

Okay.. I've taken Jemooky's advice and I've changed the gradient on the matches head so it shows red as the match head, yellow as the start of the flame, and red as the tip of the flame.. I also changed the bottom of the match head to black to show that its starting to burn away.. Anymore advice? And how does it look now?

Bump

i think it would look better if you didnt have the other guy on fire.

And I dont understand what the pencil thing on the bottom of the shirt means?

very cute idea, but for me, a little too abstract. maybe take some time & embellish the ring, at least a little bit, so it doesn't look (shadows & all) like they're standing on the floor next to a fence. also, i agree that the "dead" match looks like a pencil.. make the tip less pointed? and not to be too picky, but maybe the reason people aren't recognizing it as a match is USUALLY in boxing, the previous competitor isn't lying there, dead.



that said, isn't it PUNNY that this could also be called "BOXING MATCH"?



sorry. it's early. keep going with this!

i would try make it look a bit more like a ring and work on the match that's on the floor (if it's even necessary there)

also, try lose the gradient - you can make a far nicer and more natural looking flame with halftones i think.

i don't like the black on the match head and gloves though which also brings me to the point- are the gloves meant to be additional match heads or boxing gloves, because they look pretty alike at the moment.



working on my hamster - any comments for me please?

Alright, a completely new attempt at this design.. I've created a Front and Back design.. I've moved the burnt out Match to the back of the shirt and put him outside of the ring.. And, on the front, I changed the flame on the matches head so it looks a bit better now in my opinion.. What does everyone think of this? Please help

Anyone got any advice for this one?

About the flame: I think you should point it to the back of the macht head, as it was a reaction of the force. Or in the front. I dont know the best direction, but I think you should change it to look like part of the reaction to the ponch.



About the dead macht, I think it should have a black head, like an used match. Because I dont understand why a piece of a "body" is laing there.



Sorry about may poor english.



Can you check out mine for advises? http://www.threadless.com/critique/44515/Karate_monster

sweet! maybe try a dark color for the turnbuckles. too much blue me thinks. please review mine

sweet! maybe try a dark gray or black for the turnbuckles, too much blue. please review mine

I reckon its pretty cool. I'd make the gloves a little darker and I reckon you should make the front image larger so theyare more similar in size. Lookin good though!

Plz crit mine

http://www.threadless.com/critique/41440/motorcone

Okay, newest version.. This time I've added the shadows to the back of the shirt and I've also changed the direction of the flame.. I've put it infront of the back of the shirt on purpose as well so that you can see it =]

Little help anyone?

Can someone please help?

I still dont get why ypu leave the broken match piece in the back of the shirt.



If you have time, please comment mine

I know red boxing gloves are the norm, but in this case I think they blend in too much with the matchhead. Perhaps try a different shade of red?



I like the idea there. Cute play on words.

Changed the match head so that the gloves are the darker colour.. Also changed the dark side of the match so that they're both the same because I had exceeded my colour limit

Im not too keen on it being on both the back and the front. id say go with the back version and put that on the front but add the shading etc from the front image.





Could you take a look at mine please?

Interesting.. Never thought of doing that.. Do you think I should have one of the matches on fire still if I moved the back image to the front?

What does everyone else think I should do with this one?

What if you had more of a close up view of the match heads and the ring would be more in the background. As the match head is being hit a flame is Ignited. I agree the back version is the best version.

Take a look at my work?

Thanks!

http://www.threadless.com/critique/46098/Ninja_on_board_in_Yellow#v10

So.. I've scrapped the front and back idea and just used the original back design on the front. I've also added burn marks to the match heads and set one of their heads on fire. Also, I've added my colour palette.



Anything else I can do?

Can anyone help me with this one pwese?

Can someone please help me?

I like the concept! The only thing I'd suggest is to make the flame a bit more exotic, a few flourishes. Erm.....maybe a few fine lines to show wood grain.



If you have time, check out my designs!

Slang Eagle, Eagle Octagon, and Face of Swirls! (New Version!)

Here's a new version. I've taken away the black burns on the face because it looked pretty gross, and I replaced it with wood grain (fasterflame21's idea.. Thanks dude) which made it look a bit more cartoony which is good because I'm not really going for realism in this one, haha!



Also, I've added a flourish off the top of the flame (Also, fasterflame21's idea.. Thanks again!)



What do you think?

u could use red for another inner color of the flame...



i actually think the black strokes everywhere are too

dominant...

and they cues too much distraction and noise in the illo..



in a ring the light comes basicly from everywhere..

so u dont need a -long- shadow.. maybe no shadow at all..



u could add some (camera)flashes in the background..

:)

I tried to use a red inner flame before.. It didnt really go very well =(



But thank you for all of those ideas =] I'll definately give them a go ^_^ Thank you so much.

Okay, so this time i've added the red flame inside the yellow flame on the matches head. I've changed the burn marks on the matches head so they look more like burns and less like lines. And I've added the camera flashes in the background which also help support the shadows.



Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bump

interesting... it really has come a long way. i wouldnt personally wear it because its too flashy for my taste. but im sure there are others who would..



one thing is that the bar in the foreground seems abit weird as though its not connected to the ropes?

Hmm.. I've not noticed that myself, but I could move the bar back a bit and connect it to turnbuckles more.. Maybe that would help.. Or would it be better to move it CLOSER to the turnbuckle? Thanks for the comment btw Agrimony.. I seem to have trouble getting any comments on my shirts, haha!

i was thinking of closer to the buckles :) heh dont worry.. it takes time. i usually dont like keeping my crits around for too long because i get so sick of looking at it myself so i just finsh it up quickly and sub it heh...

Moved the bar closer to the turnbuckles.



Can anyone help me please? =]

Bump

Bump =( Please

Bump...Again...Comments please =(

its looking nice now...

Thank you very much Simmisri =] Are you saying I should sub it? ;) Lol.

Can someone please tell me how to get more comments as well :(

I liked v6 better, actually.

I'm very late to this party. I'm in love with your concept to pun "boxing match" in illo form (very witty) but I think you might be over complicating it. Maybe just a beautifully done match stick, (no arms), with a red boxing glove as it's tip would help convey your concept more simply and without any loss of impact. Sorry to throw this out at the last moment, just ignore if you want, your call.

Anyway, maybe try to calm down the primary colors here. Maybe a brown shade for the ropes (not multi colored) and the padding, rust shades for the match heads and gloves, a darker shade of the tee color (not gray) for the shadows, and I don't think you need the white stars, they pop out to much and they're kind of cliche/clip artish. I guess that would help your design better integrate with the tee and add a bit more attention to the matches. Right now they're fighting (pun intended) it out with the multicolored ropes, and star bursts. Anyway, good idea, just needs some color changes to better ground it to the tee. Cheers!

glove match head thought

Wow, thank you so much quister! I think that the problem of removing the arms this late in is that I dont think anyone will be able to tell that they are actually matches :( But thank you so much for all of your suggestions! I will definately change the colours and remove the flashes :) I always saw a boxing ring as being the colours I chose, but I will try changing them to the colours you have stated :) Thank you so much again! Its rare that I get any comments, let alone one as detailed as yours! I hope that, with your suggestions, I can help push my design to perfection :)

They use multi color ropes in the olympics and some professional fights, but really, they're just dark gray, brown in the gyms. Besides you need to interpret things in any way that suits your design's needs. One of the toughest things to do here (you're not on a canvas, you're on a tee) is to integrate design and shirt. In that effort, you might think about doing the ring in black or darker gray lines on the dark gray tee with the match boxer colors popping a bit. Not bright reds and blanched woods, but grayed down reds and wood colors that fit in. Could add some more drama than a lighter color tee and even more wit/sarcasm to your concept. Cheers!

boxing ring

Thanks for the comment!

I would dull down the boxing ring ropes, it definitely competes with the matches. And the flame looks kind of odd detached from the match's head and that it is a duller yellow than brighter like a fire would be. Maybe if you get rid of the extra colors(of the ropes) you will have more for the flame's individual bright yellow instead of having to share it with the wood of the match. I do think the gloves look sort of odd too.. they're too oval-y.. I would definitely use Quister's picture of the glove to help out with that

nice idea i like it so much



critic me plz

Thank you everyone for all of your comments! I am now going to upload a new version with a complete colour change =]

Back to the gym! As someone famously never said! For this version, I have completely changed the colours. The shadow has been changed to a darker shade of the tee, the ropes and turnbuckles have been changed to gray, the flame has been changed to a lighter yellow, and the boxing gloves have been completely changed to look more like boxing gloves and less like ovals!



What does everyone think now?

DinoeNugget, NO Doubt!! Now it’s looking much better... I genuinely don't think, it need work anymore... submit it...

Thank you so much for the comment, Simmisri =] I'm thinking about subbing it now but I think I need to wait to see if there's anymore improvements to be made =] Are there literally none you can think of?

this is looken pretty bad ass now man...i like seeing the evolution of it.

Thank you Comedyrockstar! :D I'm definately getting closer to subbing this then :D Keep the love coming! :D

Reminds me on Rocky hehe, great idea, and i think that looks better now when its gray.








If you have time, you can comment mine here.

Cool idea and nice progression.



Would be nice if the character and ropes in the background were a little lighter, to give depth, but that would start adding colours.



Not a fan of the shading on the match head and the shading in general is a bit dim. I would prefer to see the background lighter and the foreground brighter. The shadows muddy it a bit at the moment. Maybe a different coloured shirt would bring it up a bit.

Nice pun, I always like really punny shirts. I feel like the matchsticks need shadows. Also a match head isnt a perfect oval. This might help: http://www.fotosearch.com/bthumb/IMR/IMR417/IE245-032.jpg

Hmm.. Okay, so its NOT perfect then :( Any other changes I could make to it to make it perfect?



And BarleyandHops, I tried making the match head less oval but it just looked like a chip with ketchup, lol.

Can anyone else please help me? I really want to perfect thos design!

I'm a bit stuck with the flame =( I'm not sure how to go about doing it, can you maybe give me some advice?

looks cool, and colors too!

Thank you rafles! I need some help with the flame =(

overall a cool design, here's an suggestion, what about if you could see the exact same scene of those 2 matchstick-boxers in the oppposite view on the back of the shirt, means, the matchstick with the "head on fire" would be in the background, just an idea.

Nice! I like this end result. GO for it SUBMIT!!!!




Could you vote for my design 1



Could you vote for my design 2

Thank you to everyone for your comments.



@ Emze - Thank you for the comment, I hadn't actually thought of that idea. However, I don't think it will work on my design because it's too busy already and I'm a bit worried about adding any more too it. I'm not sure many people would wear it even now without adding another whole image to the back =(



@ JP_designer - Thank you so much for the comment =] I appreciate everyones opinion. I will have a look at your critiques now, however, I feel like I have already commented on them, lol.



Does anyone have any changes I can make that won't make it too complicated or over-the-top?

i think the design should be smaller on the tee, and make the boxing ring in a little matchbox.

@ Dexter Spandex - I think that has been suggested before.. And I think I ignored it, lol, but looking at it.. I think i can make that work.. Somehow.. Thank you Dexter =] And thank you for the comment.

how about a little more shading......just a suggetsion

Hmm.. I spose I could do some shading on the ropes.. Thanks for the suggestion, Tian Lubis =]

Good Day!



Looks a LOT LOT better than the previous versions

i think you should send this to running

the IDEA are great as well as the COLORS





one more thing, im i bit confuse about the "beaten match"

where is he facing?



Goodluck to you!



and you have my vote!



Cheers!

Thats the beauty of it, he's not facing anywhere.. It's dead.. =| Lol, well, burnt out =] But the fact that you know that its a beaten match makes me happy :D Lol.

thanx for the comment :)



def a $5 from me. i think you should submit it

like the idea and its a nice illo, i would rather see the whole ring contained on the chest of the shirt, with little match people spectators cheering.

Thank you very much, homemadeheroes =]



I've just had a thought.. I am NOT going to ruin my design by putting the ring inside a match box, because I'm happy with the way this looks as it is. But I WILL add some more shading to the ropes because they feel a bit flat.



Any more ideas would be very helpful =]

I like the idea... but the excecution is not appealing me too much.

Everything is too big for my own taste.

Also, the small burned piece of wood liying on the floor looks more like a half eaten french fry.

I like it very original

i really don't like either of the matches' elbows. the wood looks really drab too. you could definitely spice this up.

Really Cool. ^^ I say submit it as well. BTW, thanks for commenting on mine. ^^

Okay, last little change to this design.. I've added a lighter shade of gray to the front-most ropes to make it seem less... Flat.



Is this ready for submission now? What do you all think?

I'd say it is.

^^

Sweet! *Is relieved.. Waits for more opinions as well* :D Thank you so much Icko ^_^ Excellent shirt as well btw, always makes me lol when i see it :D

clever idea, maybe a diffeent angle though. im thinking like, you know the sockem bopem robots, put them each in that type of position form that angle you know? hard to explain sry

hahhaha so funny.

i can i like that.

but please touch up on the fire. b'coz it look untidy and little bit fake.

@cARtOoNer - Have you seen the first version? Lol.



@wikey - Can you give me some advice on the fire? Idk how to do it, lol.



Thanks for the comments.

i love the idea..i did a shirt with a wrestling wring in almost the same perspective..most people wanted the angle to kinda be over head..maybe that would look nice..but i really do like this version.

_

Ahaha..this is great. What program did you use? because I think you could find a few tutorials on how to give fire a tad bit more dimension. :)

That's a great idea, SheDancesOn :D I use Photoshop =] I'll go and see what I can find.. Thank you so much :D Dunno why I haven't thought of that before, lol.

try adding a little bit more detail to the frontmost pole, and work on the pespective a bit and maybe try using one of the colors to ad some shadowing to the matches

very clever, i love the little burnt bit in the foreground

i think the main problem is perspective, work on that a bit

really really clever

i really like the idea but i dont know about the placement also you should try a nice mock up to give a more professional touch to your work that would be even more nice also i would try more shading on the matches but its a cool idea!!

Okay, I changed the fire, so.. Hopefully it looks better now? What does everyone think about it now?

That's really clever. I'd like to see it on a black shirt--the fire would stand out more. And I know this isn't helpful at this point, but I like your earier versions where the ring is not so dominant. I like the action of the matches too.

Whatever you end up doing, I think it's a terrific idea. Thanks for the kind input on mine. :)

Thanks for the comment charity.ryan =] I'd like to say it get's easier the more you progress but that just isn't true, lol.. Everyone has different opinions on the matter and, unfortunately, you can't please everyone =( Thank you so much for your comment =] I will try it on a different tee.

Sorry Ryan =( Black just doesn't work with the tee.. I've looked at several different tee colours now but I still think that Sand is the best colour to use =(

it looks great. nice concept. maybe try making his opponent look a little worried some how, bc the other one is all fired up and mad

fire looks a lot better! it's still a little weird how it's not touching the match though..

the fire looks much better.





what i would suggest doing, is hafttoning the matchhead. i think it would make it look so much better.

Thank you for the comments!



@Justinweidling - He's on fire because he's gettin' his butt whooped.. When you strike a match, what happens? ;) Ahh... Ya see? Lol.



@itbunk - It's not touching the match head because flames don't =] Lol. Unless it's burning wildly, which it isn't because it's only a match =]



@the loose seal - I tried halftoning the matchhead but I'm not exactly sure HOW to halftone anything and, needless to say, it looked rubbish =( Lol.



Thank you to everyone =]

you def have come a long way

but maybe make the mat blue

and a tip is to put it on a model

it generally is more appealing

mind a commenting?

as to how to half tone. ive found the easiest way to do it. if you are using photoshop is this.



copy the two tones you want to half tone and set one as black and one as white(im sure there is an easier way) do a blur on the black and white image. then go to pixelate under filters and click halftone. set all the numbers for the same value. it will give you a half tone map. apply that to your original image.

try and just do three ropes right now you have a lot of going on.

the t-shirt looks kinda busy.



take one rope out.



vote on my design and tell me what you think

http://www.threadless.com/submission/217372/Squarephant

good idea!

i like more v16, i mean fire style and i would do higher angle view

the match in the background should also have shading :P Very funny.





Check out mine too please.

interesting idea...i think u need 2 a bit on the flames...otherwise it gud

I love it! i like the flashes in the back ground (maybe with a halftone they won't be to overpowering.

So, for this version, I've added the model whose wearing the shirt (The tee colour seems a bit bright on that though, lol) Changed the size of the shadow on the far-away match, added a bit of shading to the far-away matches head and changed the size of the flame (Also put the flame on the match head)



Ready to submit yet?

put the fire "across" the head and not "behind" it



comment mine

Thank you to the advice of 'Brightwood'! I have made the design slightly smaller on the tee, thus pulling in the boxing ring a bit.



Thank you also to the advice of 'Nozm'! I have also moved the flame more to the front of the head so it's moving across it instead of behind it.



I will update the model when we've decided on a final submission!



Is it ready? Nearly?

sweet it look's grate - keep up the good work !!!

Thank you so much Simcha123456 =]

whats up with the thing in the corner?

Nice work.

keep on work with fire

Thanks for the comments.



@ Evan3 - It's a burnt out match.. Some people get it while others don't.. I think I might change that.. Thanks for drawing attention to it =]

@ rafles - What more should I do with the fire? =(

mind a commenting?



and that is a good idea

I still like the V's where one is getting socked. I know that's not helpful since you're set on this one. The ring is just so dominating. Sorry I'm no help.

Looks exciting visually with the 'boxing ring' around it - not sure about the fire, don't know what to suggest

wow, that's a lot of versions :-)

did you lose the backprint in the process, because i don't see it anymore. having the bozing arena cropped like this, asks for continued lines on the back. but maybe you don't need it. i had the same thought as evan, about the thing on the ground. try to add some to it (some match that's trying to put out the flames) otherwise, get rid of it... (or add a lot more)

"boxing match" would have been a better name no?

Wow. You've put a lot into this!



It looks like the fire is tricky. I love the pun concept.



Just an idea.. But what if you gave each side some distinctive detail and on the front and back show the point of view from each side.. I don't know if that is clear. As I said, just an idea.

Suggestions please!

Suggestions please!

Looks cool to me, I like the way it looks on someone it messes with the eyes a little, but it makes you look at it a second time, so thats cool.



Good shadows and smooth lines.



You got my vote!

Hey Dinoe, that flame looks great now.



Thanks for commenting on my critiques. If you don't mind me suggesting this in general: check the user who you're commenting on before you add another link to your crit. Adding a link after commenting on someone else's critique is great but some users have several crits up at once - you only need to link to your crit in one of their submissions, not all of them.

I'm terribly sorry Carixpig, I'll try and be more careful =] Thanks for the heads up! I'm about to submit another version!

Okay, here's a new version.. I've moved the design up a bit and I've added a line of smoke coming from the burnt-out match.. I've also put a single glove next to it.



Opinions? Nearly ready for subbing?

I love it, and the only thing I can really ask (and I'm nitpicking), is there a line going through the flame from the match head? It kind of bothers me. But that's being extremely picky and overall I think the design looks fantastic.

yeah, you're right, Haeil.. Its from the rim of the match head cus i jist smudged the layer underneath it, lol. I hadn't actually noticed that but I still have to do 1 more layer where I change the model, i'll do the flame again when i do the new version :) Thank you very much for the comment!

looks good summit!!

It does look really good. Submit! ^^



Check mine out? Plz?



And this one too?

Okay, so here's the final (And I'm hoping last!) version.. I've changed the model so that he has the correct tee on, and I've gotten rid of the line through the fire.



Is it ready to sub yet?

nothing left to say except sub it!



thanks for your crit

Thank you so much for the comment, Kim456 =]

Looks great love the symmetry of the matches with the corner posts! Well Done! Submit!

Thank you so much boyojohnquinn =]

you can sub it . great work

but on the other hand you can make fire bigger, like on the real match

the idea is interesting but I'm not liking the full coverage print on the tee. This could be fun as a self contained illustration that you could include some crown silhouettes around the outside. Maybe even a Ref of sorts.



Could the Match be fighting a Lighter? This might explain why he keeps losing.

sorry to be so late to the game on those idea. Maybe they could be Tee #2 and try this one on voters first. ;)

nice man submit

can u score my design

Hi ! Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to make another version with your suggestion , to see how it looks. I will submit it later.

Now, about your design: it looks really nice to me! Maybe i agree whit rafles, you could make the fire bigger ( also to comunicate the big desire of winning of the Match).

I love the perspective! I think it's really realistic and it works fantastic in the scene, to rise the suspense.

I love this! You've come so far from your original design, and it looks great. I say submit!

K, so I'm hoping this is the final version.. I've made the fire bigger because people have requested it, lol, but I didn't want to make it look tooooooo "super saiyan" Lol

i tink its great..all t best

tnkx for t comments.

great add-on with the boxing glove on the ground!

after 22 versions, you're ready to go :-) are you gonna keep this title?, also saw someone suggest "boxing matches", wich is also very funny..

either way, go for it!

Yeah, I didn't think about the title much until after, lol.. but I think i'll go with 'Boxing Match' cus that's a clever play on words =] Lol.



Anyway, thank you for comments and I will be sure to submit it soon enough =]

I don't think the fire is cartoony enough it seems to real to fit in with the rest

please critique mine



In 3D...http://www.threadless.com/critique/47343/IN_3D#v2

:'( Can't everyone have one opinion? :'( What should I do about it?

Maybe try drawing out the flames and the elbows are a bit odd maybe lose the line down the center

v22 is the best after your hard work...:)

but i think very hard about this design...

whose glove on the ground?

that 2 match wear their glove...

Is there any participants?





need advice for my design

i liked the flame the way it was, really, it looked better that way, i'm not so sure about the elbow joints on the match in front, they look kinda weird, dunno how i would fix that

it's getting really close!



thanks for your comment on mine!

great idea. If you can make the wood pattern on the stick that would be awesome! And maybe a different color for the floor? Well done!



Please vote for my design :)

Thx

What about a little more shading on the matches themselves?

Next version.. And I was actually hoping to be done with this a while ago =(



I've changed the flame to make it look more "cartoony" and less real.. And I've gotten rid of the lines on the front-most matches elbows..



Is it ready to submit yet?

You've really done well with the critique tool. Go for it, I think it's ready.

Hey-- very cool. I like this-- great idea and execution.



Suggestion (take it or leave it)-- I think you should take advantage of having two yellows and shade one side of each matchstick the darker/lighter shade.



PS- I appreciate your comments on my design also.

Thanks for the comments.. I'll give that a go Tigerbill.. Looks like there's going to be many versions still to come =(

should the broken match be burnt out????? Blackened head and burnt stick (you know how they get thin)



Otherwise looking great!



would like your opinion

I think it's ready. submit this

Looks good.

i would play with the colours a bit. right now, its too neutral of a shirt.

I've tried using the lighter yellow for shading on the match, but it's too bright and I'm not changing it else we'll just have the same problem we had when I first added the flame.. This being said, I will now Submit this.. Thank you to everyone for all of your help and support, I hope to see all of your votes if it goes through =] Please? Lol.. Thank you

Clever! :D

OK this is just imho, but would u hate me if i said i like graphic in the very first version? I think the interraction between them in the last version is good - but i think the boxing ring is distracting. If u could incorporate the flame, etc in the first version it would look a lot cleaner.

Nice art tho!

it's cool, submit it for de final round, dong!!

i think u r set to submit. may be u can try some other background.
