I know I need to work on the reflections of the lightning a tad on the chest and clean it up quite a bit. But what do you think of the colors, layout, etc.? Thanks!

This is pretty cool. The cloud could use some more work, but everything else looks great. I think I'd like the cloud better if it were drawn instead of an image pasted on.

Hand drawn clouds (thx @ Leroy_Hornblower) and a few extra tweaks. Next I'm going to play with some glow in the dark ink. What do you think of the shirt color? Other thoughts?

This is so funny! The only thing I would change is the robot's eyes. It sorta seems like he has pupils, but ones filled and one isn't and they don't seem to be focused on anything (which sorta adds to the humor lol) but I would fill the other one in, just cus I thought that was something falling and the other pupil was it's shadow or something. I know that's kind of a small nitpicky thing but I can't think of anything else to change lol, this is pretty much perfect, awesome job :)

And if you're not too busy, I would sure appreciate a comment and score for my second sub ever!! Time is running out! 0 days left lol!

Sorry was meaning to comment on the first version last night but couldn't express what was off about it. The cloud definitely does it for me in this version. I think the problem I had with the last version was a lack of cohesion in textures. This version definitely melds with me good luck.

nice and cool design!



can you help me with mine?

Very cool!

I like it, but maybe darken the cliff a little bit.

Added a glow in the dark aspect to it. A few other tweaks as well. I tried darkening the cliffs, but then it was a bit distracting. Thanks for the great feedback so far, keep it coming!

I like the style just hope the glow works out.

I love it, you should sub this version.

love it! nice style. I donīt know if you need the glow?!

The glow ink didn't really add to the story, so I changed the glowing image a bit. Can they print this? Based on what I've seen it's no problem to put glow ink on top of darker ink. Si?

Oops- I forgot to fix the aberrant thin white/dark lines that define the cliff. Please disregard those...

Cool! I'd definitely wear that. Please comment on mine if you get a chance: http://threadless.com/critique/52337/musical_cats

Awesome. I really like this. The background cliffs and trees are beautifully done with a very awesome robot in front. Just one thing though. It took me a while to realize that he was eating the lightening. Then I liked it even better. Maybe you could make it clearer that's what's going on. I guess there's a bunch of stuff you could try. Make the face/eyes more like eyes. Or simply shade the mouth/throat slightly different so as to give it more depth like a cave. Anyway, I'm a fan of this piece!

Try it on a sand colored shirt to see how it turns out, I think the red takes away from the illustration.



My Design

nice work, i think the glow is a good one, feel free to check minehttp://www.threadless.com/critique/52380/young_wolf

Tried to make it a bit more obvious he's eating the lightning, plus I changed the glow story a bit. Thanks for all the great feedback so far- keep it coming.

This looks great! I'm clicking submit this but just some initial thoughts... I didn't notice the eyes at first, the head looked kind of like a lightning trashcan. Maybe make the eyes a little more noticeable? The mouth would also be more recognizable with some robot teeth. I'd like to see this on a dark blue tee as well. Sweet illo and a huge improvement from v1.

all three slides are freakin brilliant. i love this.

submit submit submit!!

He's been taking lessons from Rocky's trainer: "Eat lightning, crap thunder!"



I love how different it becomes with the glow layout. I agree that the eyes should be more noticeable. The only other thing is that the landscape doesn't match the sketchy quality of the robot itself, especially the trees in the background. (Maybe have them parted after the robot's come crashing through the woods?)



Critique: Boogeyman Wants His Mommy

I would make it still more obvious that he's eating the lightning. it took me a while to get it.



would you mind looking at mine?

Kanga Gangsta

I'll just overhaul they eyes, maybe try a different optical interface altogether... Other than that I'm not sure how to make it look more like he's eating the lightning- maybe have more bolts up top? Maybe cut down on the reflected yellow so the lightning pops more? Hmm....

How about a little reflection from the lightning on the rock cliff. Really like this design and the glow.

Please check out my design.

Thanks for great feedback. I tried a different head. The glow, etc. would change a bit accordingly, but it would basically be the same as before...



So, new head better or worse?



ps I tried reflecting lightning in cliff but it looked a bit busy...

pps if you havent seen earlier versions, see V. 5 for the glowing aspect of this design...

wow .. great progress ... perfect colors ...

may be add more details to the robot.

add t shirt presentation.



plz vote $ comment...



want to earn 100$ ?

I like this head better than the earlier version. The idea is really cool, but something is off with the design. Kind of hard to put my finger on it. The two things that stand out the most to me are the background color and the shape of the robot's body. Have you tried a purple or navy BG? To me that blood red color just doesn't mesh well with the cool blue robot. Purple might compliment the robot as well as accentuate the yellow bolts (which look great, I like you did those.) The other thing is that it's hard to get a bead on what the shape of the robot is. It's kind of cylindrical on the bottom, but somewhat boxy at the top. Tightening up that shape might pay off.

Changed shirt color, robot eyes, added stuff to glow in dark (saturn is a proxy- I'll hand draw it , etc., if I decide to keep it and maybe add a comet or something, too), and hand drew trees and cliff (with original texture poking through, too). Thanks for any additional opinions!

this is wicked!

Great! Submit!

The kids are going to love this....







take a look at mine

A little cleaner, some small changes to the details, etc., plus I showed how it will look in the dark in the shirt comp. Any suggestions?



This has already evolved quite a bit thanks to the killer feedback. Thanks, everyone!

Dude, this is awesome! Definitely submit it!

wow...I had seen this before the glow was there but not since, so when I hit the button and saw the glow for the first time my jaw literally dropped - SOO cool!! Great job! I'd buy it!



Any thoughts on Geek Monster?

i love this shirt. its such a cool idea, and the glow in the dark picture is badass.



please look at mine:

A True Block Party

Jeaher!! submit do me a favor homie check out my design and critique it if you will. click here

I like it! The only thing i'd change though, is perhaps adding a line or two (shading?) to the individual lightning bolts, because right now they feel stuck on top on the artwork, instead of a part of the piece.



Can you perhaps critique mine, if you get a chance? It's called Windows for the moment.... for the Geeks competition.



Thanks :)

Thought I was done, then had an idea to reduce it to 3 colors. Better or worse?



Also, I tried outlining the lightning but it looked kind of weird.



Thanks!



-Robbie

(compare to version 8 for 3 colors vs. 4 colors)



Also, any ideas for a good title?

I like the way it looks. I think the color reduction is kind of a neutral thing, there's not a huge difference. However, I'd stick with having a bit of grey in there, letting the robot keep it's metallic-ness without being totally reflective.



If you have time, check out the new version of my Eagle Design

Dang- sorry for the lightning quick update- but I should have subbed this one with a slightly duller highlight. Thanks Opifan and Fasterflame for the posts on v9



Also, Opifan gave good feedback on titles. Any other thoughts?

i love the design, but i definitely agree with flame, it needs a little grey. Not a lot, just to add some more contrast to make it stand out a little from the background.

please check out mine if you can!

For me the fire seems a little off. It just seems flat compared with the rest of the robot. Really cool design. ^^



Check Out My "Broken Heart".

I like it as is personally, I'd say run with it. The blue is a really nice alternative to the red you had before and I like the duel use of that pose. Very clever.

WOW! i'd say submit!

I gotta say man, I love your art style. As it is right now I think it is ready for submission. Honestly I don' t know if it is in need of the glow in the dark part, it is a fun addition but this is great by itself. Keep up the fantastic work!

Awesome work! I love it.



Please crit mine!

Really like it great drawing style and idea. Sub it!

If you have time can you comment on mine?

http://www.threadless.com/critique/50801/Nerds_of_a_Feather

OK, gang- I struck a balance between replacing the gray with the shirt color and leaving it solid. Good? Bad? Doesn't really matter ans I should just sub it?



I still don't have a great name for this one though.

Squeeze

Robotcloudsqueeze

Power-up

Chance of lightning: 100%



I like the last two for now. Thoughts?



Thanks!

title: I eat lighting for breakfast and crap thunder for lunch?

also I love the glow in the dark idea, great way to make it almost another shirt

No objections? I see 2 "Needs Work" checks but I don't know what to work on. ????



I think I'll go with "Power-UP!" and will sub tonight. (Just need to get rid of the bit of blue in its mouth)



Thanks for the feedback, folks!

Same file (except for a few tweaks), but I just put the whole thing on one slide instead of doing a flash presentation. What would you rather see as a voter? If it doesn't matter I'll just sub this plain ol' jpeg...

Submit!



My Design

Dude this is SICK! I would sub this baby! The only thing that i don't like is the rocket feet. The flame looks a little weird. Also i need some help on my design, please comment here

Woah, just submit this. Awesome idea.



Would you rate my design too, please? ;3

I actually pushed it into the running last night- sorry to not say so sooner! Hopefully the flames won't be a dealbreaker for lots of folks- who knows, maybe Threadless would let me change them if they select it...



Regardless, thanks for the comments, folks.
