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?

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

Very cute design, the bear does need some work. Consider adding some shading to create debt.

I agree, love the idea. But the bear needs a little more work.



Any feedback is appreciated:



I Love the Rain

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

okay, more cuddly and more shadows.

any more suggestions?

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.

^ thank you sakray. i was confused where to put the rope myself. im gonna hang it. thanks

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?

nice!

thank you. any more ideas?

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 :)

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

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!

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?

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!

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.

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. ;]

*and handwritten font.

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! : )

-----------------



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?

Over size Printing will do..

Keep the layout same

thank you. any more suggestions?

I like it the way it is =]

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.

Like the idea.I think it has some possibilities.

Help me with this, please

i like it, i dont understand the hands on the front though (human hands)

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.

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..

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. :)

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

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 :]

and oh, im sorry i ddnt change the tail on the but yet.

i'm gonna do it in the next version. :)

happy new year:)



very nice idea.... mor realistic version

I liked it better with the sign...

Loved the idea, soooo cue!

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

Cool Idea, check out my slogans

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.

I think this is a good idea :) I just think you can lower his left hand :)

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.

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

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!

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.

love

Hmm..I loved it better with the "free hugs" sign :P

I think it looks great without the words! I think it's ready!

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 ^^

...Oh yah, I actually like the black shirt better...

I think the bear needs a tail...you know the little stubby bear tail thing...other than that I really like it!

updates:

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...

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.

very cute! maybe move the top arm down a bit. it looks like its grabbing a boob. ha. but i like it.

http://www.threadless.com/critique/59225/The_Hidden_Tattoo

maybe dark grey with glow in the dark highlights?

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

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...

I love the tail and the light blue one is my favorite! Nice work!

updates:

~ lowered the left arm

~ chose 2 colors



thanks for all your suggestions.

keep em coming :)

and any suggestions for the title? or is it fine? :)

Nice idea.!



Title is fine. Submit!!

sweet..!!

Really interesting concept, I think you should submit it....

i submitted it already :) thanks to everyone who suggested :)



score it here.

Looks great, well done and good luck with the submission!



Any suggestions for my design?

I think it's ready.

You should post this.
