hi, just started with these hands :-)



the hulk, godzilla, mickey, et, catwoman

hook, michael, edward, jesus, hellboy

thing, caspar, king kong, terminator, ba

chewbacca, the maxx, dr. claw, rocky, spock

wolverine, batman, spiderman, freddy, the thing



still needs lots of work with shading/shine,

what do you think?

haha this are great! i love them. I enjoyed just sitting here figurig out which and belonged to who. lol. this is really fun!




Could you vote for my design 1



Could you vote for my design 2

Lol, that's really cool, i love it :D I don't think it needs much more work done to it apart from the shading which you've already mentioned =]



Can you comment on mine please? Match Box! Thank you!

yup need shading..

yeah, shade and clean it up a bit and you'll be good to go.

it's a really solid concept that doesn't really need much - would make a great shirt, lots of fun



any comments on my pot and kettle please

Its fantastic, can't wait to see the finished product!

Love it! THis is kinda random, but it looks a little "red heavy" on the right side... maybe swap one of those around? This is a great concept!! The ET one looks awesome. Can't wait to see it with the shading etc.



I've got a new crit up - mind looking? Voom!

I like this a lot. Great idea. I don't know if there's a whole lot I'd change beyond just generally refining everything. Hmm...maybe Casper's hand could have a dotted stroke to emphasize that it's transparent and not just blue? And Chewbacca's hand sort of looks like a toupee right now. I know he's got these really undefined furry mitts, so I'm not totally sure how you'd fix that. Maybe just see if there's another angle that would give you a bit more of a solid hand shape. Great work overall though. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

In my opinion, its a grat idea. It will look really nice with more work.



Could you check out mine please? Thank you

great to read all the positive comments!! thanks :-)

also have to re-shuffle them a bit to get the colors more equally spread out.

i think the only one i couldn't get was dr. claw :(. i forgot what he looked like haha. great work though. made me smile.

i like the idea, i suggest it need a title to conclude it.



please give me comment also



I Love Cake



SquareMen

I adore this. $5

Check out mine please :)

I love it!!...

ok, halfway there! still 12 to go :-)

re- shuffled them a bit, to get the colors less clustered



hook, the thing, mickey, et, catwoman

hulk, michael, edward, jesus, hellboy

thing, king kong, caspar, terminator, ba

chewbacca, the maxx, dr. claw, rocky, spock

wolverine, spiderman, godzilla, freddy, batman

waahh wa weee wa



spectacular

You don't seem to have done any shading for the thing?

@dinoenugget

still 12 shadings to go...

...

Sorry, lol, I assumed you were doing it from top to bottom =]

Freddy's hand is bugging me a bit, his whole hand should be brown as he wears a glove. Other than that this design is rockN'

I love this! But Freddy doesn't look quite right imo..



Check mine out?



toast

freddy needs to be worked on, but he has got his weird glove where his fingers have metal armor with the blades, while the rest of the glove is more glove like... it will look okay in the next version (i hope), when the shading/shine is applied.

thats alot of hands! i like the concept, and i agree that freddys hand looks a little awkward. maybe angle it a different way.



please check out my design and leave feedback



http://www.threadless.com/critique/46159/Leaning_Tower_of_Pastry_Guy

^ i shouldn't have used the yellow on freddy his hand, while you don't see the skin.

This is awesome.

This might be even more awesome if the hands weren't in a grid, but mashed up next to each other, reaching in every direction. They could each be larger that way because there wouldn't be the blank space between them.

Can't wait to see it finalized. Looks great!

GREAT idea!

@francesa,

it could indeed be interesting to put them more closely to eachother.

i'll experiment a bit when i've done all the shading and stuff...

the black guy's hand (middle right) theres something off with the tumb, an incopelete outline.

the black guy's hand (middle right) theres something off with the tumb, an incopelete outline.

^ that's BA's hand.

indeed a little outline mistake.. thanks

okay, sorry for the simple presentation, but it does show all the finished hands,



should i go for the matrix 5x5 (slide1) or a clustered (slide2) layout?





please advise :-)

I prefer the cluster version. It's fun trying to recognize all the hands. Hah awesome, I recognized Dr. Claw too, very creative. Send it in!

grid presentation with size variantions... i think, they're all finished :-)



hulk, godzilla, mickey, et, catwoman

hook, michael, edward, jesus, hellboy

thing, king kong, caspar, terminator, spock

chewbacca, the maxx, rocky, dr. claw, ba

wolverine, spiderman, batman, freddy and the thing





how about adding a list somewhere on the tee with the names?

necessary?

i think the sparkle on everything metal might be too much. it also seems lik ethere is too much variability between the size of all the human hands and not enough of a size difference between say king kong and mr t. great idea though. i like it a lot

so, make all human hands equal size is a good point.

all the shiny metal could be too much... thought about that when making it...



thanks

I dont think the size of each handmatters, aslongf as you can see um.

The hellboy ones kick ass :)

Keep it up

each hand*



My bad

Barney and Big Bird?



An OG Power Rangers glove?

PLEASE PUT BARNEY IN!!! You will have a 5$ from me immediately. I love it already, but that would make it.

how about adding a list somewhere on the tee with the names?

necessary?

I don't think a list is necessary.

Though some might mistake some hands, like Thing with the Evil Dead hand

I think the sizes look fine and a list with the names is not necessary.

But, I could see some people not knowing what "Spock" is, or "the thing." Maybe if those were replaced with Barney and Big Bird! I agree with the numerous sparkles...too much. Looks really good tho. You could submit as is too. ; )



Please crit mine when you get a chance!

really good idea nice i like 5$ from me;)

can u score my design

@mcphyre

spock stays :-)

only thing i'll change is to remove some of the shine on the metal

(keeping wolverines, because that one rocks)

will enlarge freddy's hand a bit, and reduce ba's...



and that's it :-)

i love the grid format, but for some reasons ey i think i like it with names, then we can get more connected, hmm but i see many people disagree with names.. but still it look super cool right now!

great stuff!

changed some sizes and removed various metal shine.

still don't know about a names-list... (in slide2, the sand color is nameless)



any preferences?

the small white letters i used here are probably hard to read anyway...

Hmm.. I would say definately lose the names.. It really ruins the design =( It was amazing the way it was without the names!



Is it ready to be submitted yet? What do you think?

i think the green color of Hulk is too dull. he should be brighter, not so olive. and The Thing should be more orange.

maybe i should try to overlay "the thing" with a red halftone, to get an orange color.

good point :-)

Great idea. I find the names quite hard to read though. I agree with Bio-bot 9000 about the colour tweaks too.



Would love any feedback on mine

I like the text, but i would change the font. As itsunusual said , you can't really read the name.

Can you give me any feedback for mine?

http://www.threadless.com/critique/47324/OPS_Crash

yup i guess u can drop the names.. ops! sorry about that comment previously!

Michael :(



May be too topical at the moment and should be replaced?

great....i like the text make more interest...



need your advice

i don't think the text is clear enough to be necessary.

everything else looks great otherwise.

i wouldn't worry too much about michael either - it's not like this is a design centered round him - i doubt it'll cause too much a reaction one way or the other if you leave it in.



any help here please?

put a number next to the hands, and ad some list at the back or on the sleeve...

what about an Homer Simpson hand!!!!



can you please critique mine?



emonalisa





color zebra

i finally understand how to make all these colors with the eight shown below...



hulk, godzilla, mickey, et, catwoman, bigbird

hook, michael, edward, jesus, hellboy, chewbacca

thing, king kong, caspar, terminator, spock, barney

powerranger, the maxx, rocky, kermit, ba, dr. claw

wolverine, spiderman, batman, freddy, smurf and the thing



no text, just 6x5 hands on a shirt...

do you know them all?



any suggestions, to finalize it?

I see more than 8 colors. There's purple and orange.

The wonders of pixel gradients, nice color work, I think this is pretty solid. I'm not really a fan of the grid-layout, but that is me personally, I know alot of people don't mind it.

a closer look at my pixel gradient halftones

final presentation might look like this....



a closer look at my color halftones

The Claw's hand looks kinda off to me...broken fingers.

i really like the idea, but i think the presentation is lacking. it just looks like a bunch of random hands on a t-shirt. i don't think the concept really comes across.

does it need to have the title as well on the tee then?

it will make more sense then just 30 hands on a shirt right?

maybe the title on the front and the design on the back?

with the title, it works better then just the 30 hands on the shirt, don't you think?

the illustrations are sweet, copyrights might be an issue?

agree with Andreas.....fantastic illos, guess you can only try subbing to find out about the poss copyright issues!



would appreciate your comments

final title on shirt:



i really could use a hand here

i could really use a hand here

final presentation



8 colors on blue or sand

awesome!

i like it without the names under the hand cus you can guess which hand it is :)

i think it's more fun if the names are UPSIDE DOWN down (only readable for owner!)

that wouldn't spoil te names instantly to all the viewers looking at his tee



good idea?

yeah looks cool. I'd agree with jessemason, either change the font or maybe get rid of the text entirely, it's not really neccessary. Good job :)

Maybe just leave the title, place it at the bottom, and remove the names. Also it's casper not caspar. It looks great I just feel the names are gonna hurt it.

@ivantobealone

thanks for the casper spelling remark... totally missed it



yeah, showing their names is the big issue here...

it's just so much more fun having no names while looking at it.

(maybe just five text lines with names on the back/neck area?)

the majority seems to like it without the names, so i've put them on the back (slide.3)



i think this is the most fun you can have with 30 hands on a tee; no names, no spoilers...

Yes!!! Now don;t forget to fix caspar!

yep, slipped through it, already changed... in local version :-)

thanks!

bump

BARNEY! I like them they are much more stand out with all the work you've done on them. My only complaint is the font - maybe rework that to be a little more reminiscent of these characters.

The hand of Jesus is offensive for the Christian religion, the rest it seems me ok!

...

what do you all think about the font...?



(because ^susantuma made a remark about it)

if you really want to keep the text definitely change the font! i would suggest hand drawing the font as you've obviously got the skills! good work.

I really dig this

I can see the hand of Jesus being offensive to some.... however, it didn't really offend me personally. But you might get a few bad votes from those who take it the wrong way.....



instead of Jesus with the hole in his hand, maybe do Michelagelo's version of God where he's touching Adam's finger - it removes it one step to where it's less likely to be interpreted as disrespectful, since this is already a work of art.

hmm... offensive heh?

have to think about that

Eh, Christ was crucified, people wear crucifixes around their necks, I don't see the big deal making references to it.

only one i can think of to replace him with, is mario from nintendo (white glove, red arm)

i think this is done :)

awesome :D



at the back, instead of commas why don't you use dashes - ?

I am embarrassed as you sees the figure of Jesus equal to that of michey, et, spiderman, casper and ...., you do some irony on the holes of his hand, the context for me it is wrong. For you I am alone " one ", but I could be the thought of million of people.....

This job for me would be $5, I don't have anything against your person.

That's a really cool idea. I think you should discard the text on the back-- its really superfluous. If you need to list the characters then the illos haven't worked-- and they do work! I was able to guess all of them without reading the list.



The Maxx-- now that's a blast from the past!



If you've got time, it'd be great if you could score my first sub!

mtths, hmm jesus' hand didn't offend me, but i didn't pick it up straight away. I like it though - it's interesting. I think people who get offended by jesus hands probably won't shop on Threadless.... :)



I love this design - it's "fresh" and cool and different!



Could you perhaps vote on my design, Castles of Sand if you haven't already? And keep an eye out for my new design in the submissions, for the Preloved competition?



Thanks! :)

minor fixes, new font, removed list, did some reshuffling & replaced jesus by mario :-)



this is it!

Sweet stuff man! I like it when you get to guess the names of the characters, maybe if you have the right "answers" on the back, so you could have like a quiz with your friends or something. I also think the chewbacca hand looks weird, maybe show it some more love? if you add like his lazer crossbow it might look more chewbaccaish or something. Anyway nice work



If you got time please crit me

i think that chewbaca needs more work. maybe consider making mario pixelated n64 style?

it's a great idea! really fun and well rendered!

I love the idea of a pixelated mario - like super old school.

its great, getting ready i wud say..





can you help me with my design, pls?

fixed some old ones (chewbacca & mario) and added six new hands!



i think 36 is enough for now ;-) haha

ready to sub...

Another great looking design mtths! I'm not entirely sure about the text though. Ha, I know that's kind of a go-to default comment for a design, but regardless, I'm not sure the text needs to be there. Without the text, the images speak for themselves. With the text, it merely helps resonate the fact that they're hands. Well, with out quick look, we'll know their hands regardless.



Also, text naturally has a tendency to automatically grab the eye. And in this case, it drags my eye down past the illo in an instant, and then I'm left looking at something I didn't really need explained to me. I like the idea of the "I could use a hand here", as it's a nice little phrase, but all in all ... I don't think it's needed.



Check out my latest if you've got the time!

@ayearinreview

yeah, i know it's always the same thing with text on a tee.

i'm not sure either... like to hear some others about it too.



text on front: yes/no ?

Ah wow this seems like another winner for you. I can't believe it's only 8 colors. Great job man.



Please help me out on my design. Getting any help from someone who already had their design printed would be greatly appreciated.

A Titan's Gift

I think that the text is great as it makes the whole t-shirt look like a game (indeed, you want to find each hand's owner)



But I would rather see it on the back than on the front:

-Because I think your design is better with only drawings on the front

-It will accentuate the game concept of your shirt...as when you're playing enigma games and you need to go to the next page to see the solution.



Can you vote for my design?

wow this has really come along since i last saw it, good job.

so, remove title on front and leave text on the back as it is....?

nice details eh. huge difference from v1. Agree tho about the text on the back. I think its ready for submission. Wish i could give you feedback but can't fault it. looks great. The good thing with it as well is even kids can wear this and look cool.



Would appreciate if you could find the time to take a look at my design Terra Micro

hmmm not sure about the title, but i guess if u keep it on the back, no need for it in front, looks better without it but again the idea is not clear.. hmmm i wud keep the title



can u help me out?

i also could reduce the size of the title on the front...

like 1/3 of its size now, that would work too, so the title is less prominent, but readable

I'd like to see it with a different font in the sentence.



tell me what you think of: diamondsinthesky

@zozywashere,

i used to have a different font (see v.10), but wanted a more loose handwritten font...

okay, text on front or back is optional (the wearer should know them all ;-)



for the rest this will be the final one i guess...

great work mtths. if it were optional i'd have the text on the back or not at all, glad you haven't stuck with the front text though - i think it was just a step too far.

otherwise this is fantastic - the concept is great and the level of detail is amazing... those halftones are incredible!

good luck when you sub this - hope you don't get caught up in any copyright issues!

thanks for you comment on mine

perfect !



just submit now :P:P



can you help me with mine?

http://www.threadless.com/critique/47574/The_Game

great work!!! I like it!



pleaseeeee help me with mine!!!

http://www.threadless.com/critique/47558/flower_power

With the title and answers on the back, and no text present on the front, it's a winner. Are blue and grey the only colors this works on? I'd be interested in seeing a few more experiments with tee colors.

well, it works also on a lot of tee colors, because of the color variations in the design itself.

but there are too many great tee colors to incorporate in the presentation i think.

(all greys, green, olive, gold, orange, some blues and brown)



maybe i'll write something about it in the comment at the design submission.

(or change the blue shirt on slide.3 to another color 'cause i already show that in slide.1)

Aren't you using too many colours? I think you are only allowed to use 8.



Could you please vote for my design

He clearly illustrates how many colors he's using on the third slide, harturo123. Welcome to the Threadless.



Y'know what you should do mtths, is just make a separate slide-sized image showing various color options for shirts, with maybe 4 or 6 different versions. And in your initial description for the submission, just include something like



Color Variations can be seen HERE



with a hyperlink or something.



I should've done that for "Hello in There!", but instead posted my color option image after the first batch of comments, so it kind of got lost in the crowd.

I like it except for the font you've used on the back. Other than that, great shirt!

@ayearinreview,

ah, excellent idea indeed.... otherwise the info in the presentation becomes too much... good thinking to have an external link (maybe just a new critique, or one pic in the blogs) for all the color options... i'll look into that.

Power Rangers! :D

indeed!

go ahead..submit this!:)
