Oh, and nevermind the bumpy cloud edge. I forgot to clean that up.

I like the idea, made me smile. :) But I don't like the pattern you have. It makes it look dirty. Also I would loose the 'frame'

Can you use thicker lines on the banana to give it some more depth? Nice idea.
crit mine? http://www.threadless.com/critique/56740/TEAm_work |

iamalaayy on Nov 16 '09
you should fix the outside of the design... like fade it out :) it's too rough
|
|
Fonus on Nov 16 '09
Thanks for the feedback, people.
About the pattern (I guess you mean the half tone pattern(?) ) It looks a lot grubbier in the small picture then in the close-up. I just can't get halftone to look good in smaller pictures. |
|
Fonus on Nov 16 '09
Any ideas for replacing the 'frame'?
A faded edge would mean I have to fade the banana as well... and that would look rubbish. |
|
mamaGiraffe on Nov 16 '09
I agree about using thicker lines on the banana to make it stand out a little better. Maybe add some black at the stem and black spots on the peel as well.
Is there a purpose to the shape of the "frame"? I like how the banana is outside the frame at the bottom. What if you had the clouds and a few sun rays extend outside the frame? Right now, it kind of looks like you're looking out of a tunnel and the banana is just inside the tunnel....if that's the case, a black shirt would probably work better. You did a good job with the EMTs. It's hard to do people so small and with so few details, but you pulled it off well. btw, thanks for your comments on mine! |

I really like your style. I think you can fade out the edges without fading the banana. It would just make the banana more of a focal point. The framing as is kinda reminds me of a church window though. I really love everything thing else though. Good work. If you get a second and can take a look at mine I would really appreciate it.

I really like your idea & style. I think you can fade out the frame without fading the banana. The banana would just become a stronger focal point so it all matters what you want everyone to see. I think the frame reminds me of a church window though at the moment. Great work though. If you get a second and can take a look at mine I'd greatly appreciate it. Keep it up!

You could keep the shape and make it look a little more like a headstone. Like the idea and the pattern. Fun idea.

Currently working on a round frame (the old one was supposed to remind of a window or a catholic icon).
It originally had sunbeams and clouds coming out of it but I cut them out on this version. I will add them back and see how it looks. I am still struggling with the banana peel. The dark yellow is halftone so adding another color is a bit tricky... |
|
Fonus on Nov 17 '09
New round frame with halftone. (I'm not so sure about this one)
Sunbeams and clouds coming out of the frame. Nevermind the banana. I am still working on it. |
|
Fonus on Nov 18 '09
Made the lines around the banana thicker and irregular to make it look more cartoon-ish. I also moved it a bit closer to the picture.
Some half tone shade was added to the road to make it more three dimentional. Im not sure it worked. Still struggling with the banana colors. |
|
sparksy83 on Nov 18 '09
Like it! I'm not sure about the yellow line coming from the banana, it looks a little strange to me and maybe not needed.
Please critique me - Hurricane |

Fotologica on Nov 18 '09
Looks cool, I like your concept. But I am too wondering about the yellow trail leading up to the banana. And I would try out some different banana colour schemes. The yellow seems too light.
If you have some time to spare, my Contrast Cat would like some feedback. Thanks! |
|
Fonus on Nov 18 '09
Thanks for your feedback, people.
The mysterious yellow line was supposed to look like a road centre line. I obviously need to find a way to make that more clear. Ideas? |
|
mamaGiraffe on Nov 18 '09
oooooh, I definitely like it better on the dark blue shirt! Nice.
The banana is looking better with the thicker lines. Maybe add some black to the stem. I think the shape is definitely improved. And I like the clouds and rays extending past the circle. I could tell the yellow line was the center line, but maybe you could maybe make it a dotted line instead of a solid line (technically, I guess it's more of a dashed line) if that helps make it more obvious what it is. Thanks for commenting on mine. :) |

Fonus on Nov 19 '09
Fiddled a lot with the banana peal. Did not turn out that wonderful but I'm not getting any further for now.
I cut the road line into smaller lines and cut out the part which was coming out of the frame. A shadow for the blood bag (or whatever you call those) was added so I moved the skateboard a bit to the right to give some room. |

cool!! i love the idea and the design is great!
i dont have any suggestion. well done! Please cdrit mine!! |

Benboyin91 on Nov 20 '09
this is so great. i really like the concept and everything.
my design is also about skateboarding if you wanna tell me what you think: http://www.threadless.com/critique/56975/skate_and_create_doodle |
|
Fonus on Nov 20 '09
Thanks people.
I don't think it is ready for sub just yet, though. |
|
MR Productions on Nov 20 '09
wonderful concept and design, however i would suggest that you make the banana and the skateboard a little closer laterally..
|
|
Perfect Disguise on Nov 21 '09
Yep. Ready to sub.
|
|
exquisite-ness on Nov 21 '09
i love the shadow. cool design~
|
|
Fonus on Nov 21 '09
Nothing new really.
Added some tiny shadows and put the up-to-date version on a placement. Thank you all for your support so far. |
|
mamaGiraffe on Nov 21 '09
It's looking great! I like how you added the shadow across the banana...excellent. I also like the spots on it.
And the dashed road line is more readable as a road line. I think my only suggestion this time is maybe extend the sun rays just a little further...they stop too close to the same point as the halftone. Lookin good! |
|
mister hill on Nov 22 '09
Awesome improvements! Love what you've done with it. I wouldn't have thought of it, but the comment above to extend the sun rays could work well.
If you can, could you please check out GO PLAY |
|
Artboycat on Nov 22 '09
Submit, Submit!!
|
|
Blind Pixel on Nov 22 '09
Ooooo, yeah for half-tone patterns! I also like how it's in a circle. much better than the arch in the earlier versions. I guess you could extend the rays a little more, but I think that'd be my only crit.
I say submit! and your input on my design would be great too! |
|
screwdles on Nov 22 '09
This is a good looing shirt. I'd say it's ready to submit. Personally I don't think the rays need to be extended, but if everyone else lokes it, then go for it.
Crit mine please? http://www.threadless.com/critique/47605/cola#v6 |
|
JP_designer on Nov 22 '09
I really like this. only suggestions is the blood looks a little like its floating, maybe add some shadows on top of it or something.. otherwise i'd say sub it
Could you check out my design please? |
|
Fonus on Nov 23 '09
Ok, folks. There is not much new here exept the longer sunbeams. I think they got kind of pointy. I also added a black half tone shade on the blood stains to get rid of the color 'bleeding' (not a joke). Better?
|

bovinasancta on Nov 23 '09
Whats the concept? I may be a little dense so no offence :)
Looks like a lot of hard work and talent went into it. Critique mine, perhaps? http://www.threadless.com/critique/57156/A_Phenominal_Hogmanay |

Fonus on Nov 23 '09
I though the concept was pretty obvious.
Just look at it. Don't think too much. |

Blind Pixel on Nov 24 '09
I guess it makes sense that the guy who's thumb pic is two eyes and a circle for a mouth says it has "too much detail". I'd like to see Domicici's rendition of this design, heh.
It's great Fonus, Sub it! |
|
Fonus on Nov 24 '09
Domicici, what happened to your design?
|
|
MariaSurducan on Nov 24 '09
Well, if you wanted me to cringe in pain, you got it. I feel that guy's pain... Love the design, love the colors, I say submit!
If you have time, please let me know what you think about mine |
|
bovinasancta on Nov 24 '09
You're right, I analysed it way too much :)
I might have been just tired last night but I get it now. A negligent herbivore caused the downfall of a poor skater! Sub it! And thanks for the feedback! I'll go work on the colours now :) |
|
iamalaayy on Nov 24 '09
it is obvious :) i love this it is really clever and nice! sub it!
and if you have time to check out my designs that would be awesome! http://www.threadless.com/submission/242504/Watching_With_Wide_Eyes http://www.threadless.com/submission/242560/I_Wish_I_Could_Play |

Fonus on Nov 24 '09
I would love to get your opinion on the blood puddles and the sun rays (compared to last version).
Pretty please. |
|
rebleious on Nov 25 '09
woah! beautiful artwork! the blood puddles don't seem realistic though, and the sun rays remind me of Japan's rising sun flag in WWII..don't know if many people know about that nowadays so i guess it look aite. I like how they branch out from the circle. Critique mine too please! Mario Would've Been...

Spirantula on Nov 25 '09
Ok this may be harsh:
1) the blood fits in much better in this one. 2) the sun's rays look good (maybe a little bit sharp) 3) placement is great 4) submitting this as it is will give you a great score 5) love it - poor skater dude hehe |
|
Fonus on Nov 26 '09
Why, that was not so harsh. To the point - I would call it.
The sun rays got very pixelated around the edges when scaled down. They actually looked like breakfast waffles at first but I managed to smoothe them a bit. Thanks for the constructive feedback people. |
|
MEKAZOO on Nov 26 '09
nothing to say about your concept and details. But i'm not a big fan of the colors you used. The details are good but because of the colors it looks like something done in Powerpoint. The colorscheme is too pale for my taste.
And the biggest - points for me in this design is the circle like composition. Instead of doing this make it on a grey shirt ( the one you used for the road) and halftone the sky. That would look better than this. Hope it helps. |

Final version.
It seems this won't improve without massive changes. I just wanted to see what it looked like uploaded really. There are a fiew tiny changes but I don't think anyone will notice them. |

And yes, some people open bananas in the other end.
Apart from that, ideas?
It might work better on other background colors.
