clearcut on May 14 '09
hehe it's nice... the eyes are missing? :)To me, It's too flat...maybe you can try to use those green tones to add some shade, and try to do the same to the pink monster, too.
Just wait for other suggestions :) |

bry_yrb on May 14 '09
I agree with clearcut, adding some details would make it more appealing, maybe adding stumps to the trees and something to on the gtround like leaves!!!
if you got time, please cit mine |
|
mwshorts on May 14 '09
thanks, i thought it was a bit flat too, but want to see what others thought!

I like it, sooo cute!!
purple would be nice though or like a baby blue as bam said, to simulate sky. check out mine, vote, and let me know what u think. http://www.threadless.com/submission/210771/Color_me_deadly/showmore,designs |

Love the characters and the colors in the design. Maybe add something in the background to transition to the shirt color (i.e. texture, shadows, birds, clouds)?

thanks for the ideas!!

-Added clouds and grass
-Added glimmer to eyes -Added some lines for definition/"false" shading (any other shading method ideas are welcome...shading isn't really my forte) -Changed shirt color to blue (I tried purple and it looked odd) |

bump!

alilfishy on May 15 '09
dinfinatly getting there, you might want to try adding a bit more shadows to the images and give the clouds a bit more form, maybe even a face.
would love some feedback on mine if you get the chance |
|
mwshorts on May 15 '09
Do you think the tree trunks need to be there? the reason i ask is because the design is currently at 8 colors...i was going to add a face to at least one cloud, but i didn't just want it to be the shirt color showing through "face holes" in the cloud. any suggestions would help.
also, on the topic of shadows...where exactly do you think they should go. in my opinion, for the style it looks fine w/o shadows, but several people have thought otherwise. could any one be a little more specific, please? thanks!! |

-Removed tree trunks - good/bad??
-Added face to cloud -Open to suggestions as to what to do about shadows (placement, style, etc.). I tried some between tree layers and it looked odd...the same for on the trees themselves. I don't mind it without shadows, but several others seem to think otherwise! Any help is welcome!! |

VVolf on May 19 '09
Very nice. Great for kids :) If you wanna submit for kids, do you go through the same process as submitting normally.
|
|
mwshorts on May 19 '09
thanks VVolf, i was wondering about the kids thing!
|
|
mwshorts on May 19 '09
and i do believe you do...guess i should have added that
|
|
danielsauron on May 19 '09
cool, looks for kids
|
|
looks good. i think you should get more details out of those eyes though....and i think they way they're drawn right now wont allow much more detail...so you might want to redraw those eyes...to something less generic looking. y'know what i'm sayin'?
|
|
suitandty on May 19 '09
Well I have to agree with everyone on the kid thing. There's something about the clouds that doesn't sit right with me. Maybe another one needs a face? If the monster was brown he could be big foot. Just an idea. Overall this is looking good!
|
|
mwshorts on May 19 '09
thanks, i'll see how brown looks!
|

Helloleong on May 19 '09
nice

Poopiedesign on May 19 '09
cute
|
|
nod, i think subbing for kids is the same, if they want it for kids they will print it for kids :)
and yep, cant see anything much to improve though.. perhaps try out what they mentioned.. altho i think pink monster will look better than a brown one. |
|
mwshorts on May 19 '09
yeah, i just got done changing to brown...and i think it looks pretty bad, i really like what the pink adds!
thanks! |
|
really fun and playful, great colors too
|
|
thesam73 on May 20 '09
Great design and colors. Maybe some shadows on the character could be great.
|

Allan BARTE on May 20 '09
Ah ah very nice !
I just have a problem. I don't know if the monster is gonna play with the trees or eat them. Its from the Eyebrows not evil but not happy neither. Can i have you advice on my Pirate Fly? |

mwshorts on May 20 '09
-changed the eyes so they are all the same style - good/bad??
-changed the tree eye brows a little - good/bad?? -gave the mouths a little curvature for smiles - good/bad?? -i'll probably change the name to "Tree Hugger"...i thought about "Lil' Tree Hugger" - what are your thoughts? thanks! |
|
matt4138 on May 20 '09
eyes changed--good
tree eyes is good mouths curvature -- looks more happiness i like " Lil' Tree Hugger" and i think it is ready to print! |
|
Allan BARTE on May 20 '09
i still think eyebrows of the monster can be modified a little.
Less curves to each other. More to the outside. Ah ah, i'm sorry, my english is poor so it's hard for me to describe it. :-) |
|
Dexter Spandex on May 20 '09
maybe cut back on a few of those greens to make it cheaper for Threadless to print. should the trees have trunks?
nice idea |
|
Katkando on May 20 '09
I kind of liked the eyes from v.8, but the current version works well also. All the other changes are great, and I like 'Lil Tree Hugger as well :)
|
|
mwshorts on May 20 '09
Allan: I think i got ya! i'm playing with moving the eyebrows to the sides...it's more of an excited expression - i like it!
Dexter: these trees go ALL the way to the ground! :P there were trunks in V2 and V3, but i'm not sure that i like them, or that they even look right Kat: yeah, i liked V8 eyes too...i think i'm going to revert back to them thanks all! |

a few minor changes
-changed some eyebrows -kept eye style, but redrew them (turns out i do like V9 eyes better than V8 eyes!) -the title will be "Lil' Tree Hugger" instead of "Tree Hugger"...emphasizing it's for little kids...and us big kids too! ;) i'll probably sub it later tonight, unless there are any more suggestions! thanks for all your help! |

notoriouskevo on May 20 '09
I'm wondering what this would look like with a less saturated palette. Mainly the first pink, because then it wouldn't be competing so much with the greens.

Grayhamy on May 20 '09
Kool I like this, but im not sure if you need the clouds :)
|
|
Katkando on May 20 '09
Looks good :) Can't really think of anything to make it better.
