My first design is up for critique! Thought it was a pretty solid idea and went with it. This is an 8 color design on Sand, Yellow or Orange. Let me know what you think of the design, the colors used and the colors of the shirts, too. Thanks all!

Hehee, I like it.

Yellow shirt is my favorite out of those.

I can't really think of anything to add besides maybe some shading. I really like the simplicity of it all though. : )

Oh wow what a great design! Love the moon balloon hehe! :))

Only thing I'd say is Europe looks a little funny. I guess when you come from somewhere your eye is drawn there on a map, and the UK looks a little blobby.

blank tee to get a better idea

oops, sorry messed up the link and my comment got mangled... it was meant to say;

Not sure which tee color is best, grey and yellow are my favs out of these. Try it on a blank tee to get a better idea

hehehe nice moon baloon (that rhymes) and for a title i think just earth day no need for the " 's" i dont think

Hagnii - Thanks very much! I agree that shading would be good to try out. Which areas were you thinking of? The craters on the moon? The green land places and such?

Aaarrrggg Design (nice nick) - Thanks for the compliments! I think you've got some good advice there, and when I started doodling, I definitely thought of using some reference to get better shape on the land. I guess I kind of forgot about it once I started working with color and such. I'll tamper with that tomorrow, though. Thanks also for blank tee link! I'll put something up using those, soon.

cARtOoNer - Rhymes are definitely awesome. And I only put the apostrophe "s" on at the last second. I didn't want the name to be the only thing that "sold" the tee, but at the same time I wanted some subtle cleverness in there. I have yet to decide whether or not the final title will have the "s" on there, but I'll definitely think a lot harder about it now that I've gotten some feedback on it. Thanks mate!

I like the simplicity of it how it is. The way the Earth has its legs out makes me want to see how it would look sitting on a bench or something. But I think it might add too much clutter. Im not sure. I really like it though.

awesome!!

I think it'd look even cooler with a couple of dark tones

Please give me your opinion

i think the Earth will look better with eyes and mouth. However, I like this design very much.

Could you please vote for my design

its funny and random and great how it is.

oldrom - Thanks buddy! I thought of having it sit next to a tree, or on a bench, too, but also came to the same conclusion. Thanks for the input!

guiw - Thanks for the comment! I'll mess around with some different colors and some darker stuff and perhaps post up a new version.

harturo123 - Thanks man! I thought about putting a mustache or something on it, but I decided that I didn't want to box in a set age or gender, so I didn't put anything on because of that.

Katie - Thanks Katie! Good to see you on here and thanks for liking it!

some shading and a shadow might help

lovely idea tho

would appreciate your feedback

haha i really like the moon balloon. i agree maybe a shadow or something. very cute though!

Kim456 - Thanks Kim! Stay tuned and you may see that come to life.

adorablepancreas - Thanks a lot! I'll post a newer version up once I've worked on it some more.

i like the way it is. i prefer flat colors without shading anyway... yellow is the best. i like the concept!

Mike - Thanks bud! I also like the flat colors. I may still mess around with different ideas before I put in the final submission and I'll definitely continue to update the critique here with new versions.

Update - I added a shadow as well as put it just on the yellow shirt because most of you liked that one the best. I attempted to mess around with better looking continents and honestly all of my attempts cluttered it up too much. I'm personally okay with the fact that they're blobby and inaccurate, but if I'm offending anyone let me know and I'll give it another go. I don't feel that the inaccuracy of the continents really takes away from the purpose of the design because you still understand that it's the Earth and all. Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter! I'll post another version on a blank tee in a little while once I've fiddled with it.

The shadow seems to have an outline, which feels out of place. How about removing that? Also, could you extend the outline to the feet as well, and maybe a small outline below where the moo's held? The continents also seem to stick off the planet- how about making them fit to the edge instead?

If you don't mind, would you look at my Panda?

Ike Lawliet - I agree about the shadow's line being out of place and to be completely honest I don't feel very good about the shadow at all. Take a look at version one and let me know what you think of that one. Regarding the continents being off the planet, I initially had a version with the pieces of land coming to the earth's edge and the whole piece had a flat, dull look to it. I decided to have them extrude over the edge to give it a feeling of depth without adding shading and such. I feel that it also gives the land a feeling of seperation and height from the water. Thanks for your critique!

I think I like it on the sand, personally. But yellow does look nice. The shadow on this version doesnt look like a shadow...it looks more like a metal disc that is either floating under the Earth or is stuck to it's rear. Im trying to think of a simple solution for this cause without a shadow or anything, it looks strange since its in a position like its sitting on something. I dont think a shadow necessarily makes sense because it still appears to be floating but the feet are sticking straight out, which would imply that the legs are resting on some physical object. I was thinking like a subtle bench made out of stars, but that would be strange I think. Perhaps a simple constellation? Im not sure. But I dont think the shadow idea will work because a) it doesn't quite make sense and b) you don't feel good about it. I really do dig this concept man.

Hey zPlane

I like look of the continents rolling over the Earth. i think it makes it look unique. I think if you followed Ike's suggestion it would look good but if yo u don't feel to good with shadows then maybe he can be floating using the Moon as a helium balloon?

Also, how about an American flag on the moon along with some spacesuit footprints? :-)

Speak of moons, if you have the time, would love to hear your comments on my designs:
Hanging with the Moon
Take Your Pick

Thanks!

really good concept but i think it needs a little detail and texture.
if the earth were sitting on something flat then the shadow wouldn't be underneath it but coming out at an appropriate angle from it.
i'd also introduce some shading where possible - as you ';ve used a lot of colours try halftonging some shadows on things like the ice cream cone, the shoes even the moon and earth - just something to give it a bit of depth as it's a bit flat and solid at the moment.
it is a great idea and well illustrated so far - i just think the colour work needs to be a little more interesting.

i could do with some comments on my pot and kettle if you would be so kind, thanks

This would be a very fun "Earth Day" tee for kids. I'm reading the call for texture and shadow. Do you know how to do halftones? It would make this pop.

Would you be so kind as to score and comment on my most recent sub? You can link here...
I will not write on my clothes.

Well...not make your moon pop. That would be sad for Earth.

o man is moon balloon or the sea mine? it is feeling that it will BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG very soon!
scary future! :) it's not for kids!
i rather moon be like light yellow balloon. and maybe place it on dark navy (cosmic space) T-shirt?
