the bear is a little rough, make it more 3 dimensional +cuddly
|

chamees on Dec 28 '09
Very cute design, the bear does need some work. Consider adding some shading to create debt.
|

helldozer on Dec 28 '09
I agree, love the idea. But the bear needs a little more work.
Any feedback is appreciated: I Love the Rain |

simcha123456 on Dec 28 '09
nice
|

I agree with the above. I like the Idea a lot.
Could you take a look at my design and let me know what you think: http://www.threadless.com/critique/58969/Neverending_Flight |
|
joanity on Dec 28 '09
okay, more cuddly and more shadows.
any more suggestions? |
|
Sakray on Dec 28 '09
Is the sign supposed to be hanging around the neck or be held by the bear? Maybe make the string go around the neck if it's supposed to be like that. Great design by the way.
|
|
joanity on Dec 28 '09
^ thank you sakray. i was confused where to put the rope myself. im gonna hang it. thanks
|
|
joanity on Dec 28 '09
I'm thinking that the front is a bit simpler.
With ropes or without? As for the back, i added shadows and detail. But I'm stumped on how to make it look 'cuddlier'. Any ideas? |

Ars Fera on Dec 30 '09
Thanks for the comment!
Without ropes, by far! I like this idea, it's cute :) Is that gray blob on the bear's butt his tail? or shading? If it's shading, that could use a little work. Other than that, this seems pretty sweet! I'm not sure what else to critique :) |
|
WisCas on Dec 30 '09
Make her a tail! And the arms do look a bit weird, but I guess that it can be tricky to change them and still get the same effect. I don't like the font but I think that it's working decent anyway on this.
Sooo cuddly! :D |
|
MyHairIsFroofy on Dec 30 '09
This is an awesome idea, and an incredible design! You did a good job shading the bear but it could still use a little work, I'm not sure though. I agree that you should make it look more cuddly but I'm not sure how you could do so...Sorry.
I sort of feel that you should change the font but I can't imagine how it'll affect the design. Maybe it would be slightly cuter if it looked more hand-written? I'm sure you experimented with different fonts so you probably know what looks best. Maybe you could make it look cuddlier if you make the bear slightly darker and the ears bigger and circular. Also it might help if the background is something like sky blue or maybe even pink? And it definitely looks better without the ropes. Otherwise this is an INCREDIBLE, creative idea and if you make the background lighter I'd totally buy it! |
|
brenrasmussen on Dec 30 '09
I think to make it more "cuddlier" you should add rounded fur patches like you know when you draw simple grass in sketches do that but with a rounder brush tool with a little bit darker shading so maybe opate the fur patches so they are parely visible it will give him some "cuddlieness" thanks for the critiques!! come help me out people thanks.

THE HANDS HAVE NO DEFFINITION TO THEM WHICH IS WHY IT DOESNT LOOKLIKE IOTS HOLDING ANYTHING
I DONT LIKE THE WHITE BOX ROUND THE FONT PREHAPS HAVE IT SO THAT THE BEAR IS ACTUALLY HOLDING THE WORDS MABEY MAKE THE WORDS FILL THE WHOLE FRONT LIKE THEY ARE SQUASHED INTO THE FRAME THAT WOULD ADD THE SQUISH AFFECT MORE TOO |

To get a fluffy look, you want to add ruff fur for an example look at my st bernard, great design though! like brenrasmussen said?
|
|
myselfgone on Dec 30 '09
I suggest turning the bear's head sidways. You don't usually hug someone face first. You wouldn't be able to breathe. It also would help the cute factor because you could give it a face
good design though! |
|
LilBlueBox on Dec 30 '09
A little defining detail on the paws holding the sign would help to make it more visually appealing and easier to tell what it is without even seeing the back of the shirt. I like the back of the shirt a lot it is definitely cute.
|
|
joanity on Dec 30 '09
okay so here's what i've heard from you:
*define hands *shadows *fur *different color *bear looking sideways i'm still new to this, but i hope i can get the desired effect. ;] |
|
joanity on Dec 30 '09
*and handwritten font.
|
|
BandB on Dec 30 '09
thnx for ur comment on mine. i really like ur idea, it's creative.
my suggestion would be to make it more appealing by brightening up the colors...maybe u can have a brown bear on a creme shirt. u can also see if u can make the bear slightly tilted so that part of his face is shown on the front, and the rest of his body is on the back....this would increase the cuteness factor! : ) |
|
joanity on Dec 31 '09
The concept here is that the bear is hugging the person wearing the shirt. Its arms extend to the front bearing the sign "free hugs".
btw, can u suggest any printing method that would look best on this? ----------------- i changed some stuff, but i wasn't able to follow all the suggestions. i'm gonna do them later when i have the time. :) any ideas on how the board would look more like a board? |
|
New geneman on Dec 31 '09
Over size Printing will do..
Keep the layout same |

joanity on Dec 31 '09

adrianpardo on Dec 31 '09
I really like the idea for the design, Concept is great, execution as well but I do not like the board/sign that much i think it takes away from the design but thats just me. The design makes me think of a Koala bear holding on a tree which is great.

i like it, i dont understand the hands on the front though (human hands)
|
|
brenrasmussen on Dec 31 '09
Awesome so glad you took my "fur" concept looks awesome and thanks for your critiques I'm not getting to much feedback but hopefully soon I do. Thanks appreciation at it's finest.
|
|
r0nz on Dec 31 '09
yeah, even though I like the lettering of the hands it feels sort of out-of-place for me.. and one of the reasons for not being publishes is "unnecessary text" which I think this is.
Also, the bum of the bear looks reallly awkward to me, you know, that big grey spot? I think you should try to shift the whole thing lower, or something.. |
|
r0nz on Dec 31 '09
Oh, but looking at the first two, I say this is definitely an improvement, I like the fur and the whole concept is supercute and original. :)
|
|
Sharkweek on Dec 31 '09
That is really cute ^^...it's so nice to give hugs!...
|
|
This is a huge improvement. I like it. The lines in the paws in front feel unnecessary to me though.
Could you take a look at my design and let me know what you think: The NeverEnding Flight |
|
joanity on Dec 31 '09
okay so i took out the board, lengthened the arms and removed the lines.
the arms looks kinda weird placed on the boobs (xD) so i placed them lower. i ddnt do anything at the back except lowered it so that it could match the arms. suggestions please :] |
|
joanity on Dec 31 '09
and oh, im sorry i ddnt change the tail on the but yet.
i'm gonna do it in the next version. :) |

wes_design on Jan 01 '10
nice idea but the buttocks of the stuff doll doesn't look cute, it needs a cotton tail look
the indent is something you would do for a different theme... I like the front and back theme though if you want to add an interesting touch add a small tag at the base of the neck saying something like "I need a hug" or "my friend" something short and sweet it helps get that small detail attention girls swoon over |
|
coolestguy on Jan 01 '10
Cool Idea, check out my slogans
|
|
OMGdesign on Jan 01 '10
I like the idea but i think that the bear is abit stretched horizontally, like the arms are too long. Maybe you could make the hand rounder in front.
And a warmer colour like brown for the shirt base or the bear would make it nicer. Thanks for your comment btw. |
|
tippycal on Jan 02 '10
I think this is a good idea :) I just think you can lower his left hand :)
|
|
Sharkweek on Jan 02 '10
That's upper cute ^^...no more "free hugs" sign? awww...know what, maybe you can put tag on hig hand. Like a price tag kinda tag with the rope around his wrist and then you can write "free hugs" on that.
|
|
joanity on Jan 02 '10
updates:
~rounded paws ~removed tail i might do the tag suggestion but it might be declined due to unnecessary text. anyway, do u guys think this might be declined because it extends to the back? but it is another image though, thanks for all your suggestions. keep em coming :) -joanity |
|
kacampbell on Jan 02 '10
I really like this version. The hand placement looks good and I like the blue shirt a lot. I don't know much about why they decline things but I think it looks great!
Check out mine if you have the chance! Thanks! |
|
Laura007 on Jan 02 '10
I like it too. I wish they would tell you. I have only submitted like 2 things though so far. I just keep making stuff on here and elsewhere. Keep it up though. I really like the idea. One idea though would be to turn the bears head a little so you see its face with a smile on it perhaps. I still like this though. Side profile of the fact- nose mouth one eye kind of thing.

But if there was no tag how will people know the hugs are free =P? I'm just j/k...It looks awesome, I would totally wear it!..I do hope it gets printed, I want one ^^

added tail i'm still quite confused with which color to choose: ~light blue ~fuchsia ~sand ~dark grey anyway, do u guys think this might be declined because it extends to the back? but it is another image though, thanks for all your suggestions. keep em coming :) -joanity |

Yay! A tail! I like the blue one too. I just like blue anything...
|
|
Sharkweek on Jan 03 '10
I'm not a pink person so I like all the other colors. If you can only have one then I like the dark grey one, easier to match with other clothing.

kaylin_fadel on Jan 03 '10

maybe dark grey with glow in the dark highlights?

xenosplanet on Jan 03 '10
It is cute. And I like the idea.
Does it look better if the bear's arms are bigger and placed on different area? Please check out my critique |
|
vidyaputra on Jan 03 '10
the light blue and the pink one is great; but i think the pink one is the best, the pink color make the bear cuter...
