thanks to isaboa for the title!

feedback is much appreciated. this is for the cornelius 'sensuous' themed contest.

thanks for looking!

Beautiful shirt, I honestly don't see anything I don't like about it; well maybe the circle with the spiral shape to it but it still doesn't make much difference in my opinion that I like this design.

bsweber on Jul 07 '07

fouchnickens on Jul 07 '07

Just to add to the sensuality, maybe have the person blowing bubbles as well?

littlem on Jul 07 '07

nice. the colours are perfect as well. good luck!

Dsco on Jul 07 '07

awesomeness, i love it, submit, i wanna buy when its made

bsweber on Jul 07 '07

thanks everyone

fouchnickens--awesome suggestion--i originally had a girl blowing the bubbles, but for whatever reason i couldnt get it to look right. so i ended up simplifying it.

Rathany on Jul 07 '07

It's a great design. The bird-shape that the bubbles are making seems out of place to me for some reason, though.

bsweber on Jul 07 '07

thanks Rathany---yeah, the bird figure does stand out a little...i guess i was going for contrast, i hope its not too much

a_bright_side on Jul 08 '07

fantastic! very very very unique and strong style. must have taken a while! hope this one wins!

icebar on Jul 08 '07

this could be a winner. it has a great feel to it :D $5

sectionbb on Jul 08 '07

Love this.
Though I agree with Rathany, not sure about the bird.
It seems to pull more focus than it should.

Dunno.

bsweber on Jul 08 '07

thanks all!--subbin it gonna have to take my chances with the bird, i'm afraid.

heyheyitsme on Jul 08 '07

i think i'd consider making the "deep forest" to the left (behind the boy) darker, as it is on the right of the tree behind the bird...and possibly darker also toward the left/right sides of drawing as well, under the branches. i think this would add even more depth. otherwise nice job!!

Jemae on Jul 08 '07

submit! really cool design! future 5$! from me! :)

sectionbb on Jul 09 '07

Good luck.

Christoph Jenkins on Jul 09 '07

Great work!

Magnamoth on Jul 09 '07

wicked drawing dude, I'm still on the fence on how it looks on the shirt, at first I thought it kind of looked junky but its growing on me (not sure if it was a placement/size etc thing) I still voted submit.

Quid Pro Quo on Jul 09 '07

Ooo this is impressive but the design does look a little awkward on the shirt but not enough to stop be from buying it.

heyheyitsme on Jul 09 '07

i'm only counting 4 colors...maybe i've missed one...but if not, adding another shade of light purple or maybe some other color could open up doors to even more illumination and contrast....just a thought...

heyheyitsme on Jul 09 '07

oh, maybe there's a darker green i didn't count???

kooky love on Jul 09 '07

GREAT $5 for the future.

Don't change anything. It doesn't need work.
Just submit it!

bsweber on Jul 09 '07

thanks guys---!

dark green--lines
light green
light brown
dark brown--shading on trunks

this looks great and it looks like the type of thing that would go over really well here. one thing : i think the glowing bubbles forming into the shape of a bird are totally unnecessary...bet it'll get printed though.
