My first design. It needs a lot of work (color, shading, and I have to fix a bunch of things) but I'm not sure where to start.

My first design. It needs a lot of work (color, shading, and I have to fix a bunch of things) but I'm not sure where to start.

some towering speakers in the background might be nice, silhouettes of the heads of fish standing below and in front of the DJ looking on in awe and oh yeah 2 more turntables.

I know some djs that would love something like this, I'm interested in seeing how this progresses. Good luck.

If you have a chance I'd love some feedback on the following.
In The Weeds
& maybe a vote for
Someone Loved Them Once

Thanks

Thats a good idea..
The area around the right eye seems a bit messed up but looks liek it could be a quick fix. Or maybe its just me...
Also, it might even look good without the purple.
Hope this helps!
If you could return the favor, that would be great =):

this is cool, it could use some more detail, like highlights and shadows or somethin like that to really give it it some dimension

also, have a look at mine :) id appreciate any suggestions you got :) critique

It's a great idea, it's just a matte rof creating some "drama". I like the idea of speakers or something, but they have ot look like they're pumping. Also, dancers in the foreground (silhouettes, probably) would add to this.
I like how you've framed it in purple- that's a nice touch.

If you have a chance, could you critique this one please?

Redid the whole thing, added some shading and detail. I'm going for the "I get my fashion tips from 80's Math Books" look. Don't want to add other stuff in just yet

i like this
its cute and has great colors
in the middle the legs get a little confusing ... like i can't tell where one ends and the other starts ... but that mite work w/ the design

can u crit mine?

Turned down the saturation a little bit, and added a new tentacle (there were only 7! oops!)

I think the color contrast is a bit too harsh. Should I keep framing the design in a blob/colored shape or just put it on the shirt?

Just put it on the shirt--threadless isn't into framing designs, trust me I was rejected for it. I love it though. I think the final product will look awesome!:)

Thanks. I'll try that next.

Got rid of the blob and changed the shirt color. Do I keep the long cords or get rid of them?

I'm considering yellow or some other color for the shirt, but it seems as though I am splitting hairs when it comes to these small minute decisions.

Definitely my favourite so far. I like the wires going all the way down, and the shirt colour is great too.

I definitely like it better without the blob. The shirt color is good, but yellow would be cool too. Keep the long cords, that way i can pretend my crotch is the speaker.

I like the cords going all the way down, but I think if they weren't so straight I'd like 'em more. Oh and the CD (I guess that's a CD...or a lithogram) he's holding could use some detail.

Other than that...awesome concept and great execution.

Did some finishing touches. Upped the saturation a tad. Someone suggested yellow as a color (which I like too, but I'm not 100% on it)

Now the nail biting begins. Tell me what you guys think!

Light purple shirt...maybe?

Hmm, doesn't jell well with it. I really like the gray.

Okie dokie.

Now for a clever name...

This is a awesome, and very adorable.

I'm just trying to decide... yep I think the octopus being that close to the collar of the shirt bothers me a bit. Otherwise, awesome! ^_^

I am a fan of the gray.

Yeah, I think lowering it will be the last bit.
Thanks for all the comments, I'm going to try to submit this tomorrow!

Last one, I promise :). Lowered the design a bit, keeping the grey. This image is probably going to be what I submit to Threadless.

I really like it. I saw submit.

I'd say draw it showing each tentacle doing something, scratching, messing with the cross fader, picking out the next record that'd be cool. But that's just my opinion, cool concept.

I would appreciate it if you checked mine out:
