Would love thoughts on this before I sub it - particularly suggestions on the tee colour, thanks.

Haha nice work dude. I think it could look better on a different color.

Thanks man, any thoughts? I thought I could try a blue, or maybe just on natural?

I don't like the ninja turtle toes. I think it would just be better as a tape fold rather than a loop. But this is a great idea.

critique mine? http://www.threadless.com/critique/71815/Land_Before_Time

Thanks for the comment :)

I kind of agree with tiffer. The foot that's lifted looks awesome cause the curl looks like a toenail, but the other one looks more like a hoof.

As for Tee colour, I think this would look really cool on a nice crisp white one!

Thanks, DP :)

Lol... This is so bizarre but funny! I don't really think there's a problem with the feet cause I'm still blown away by how you managed all of this with one whole tape magnetic strip. Very nice work..

If you could just help me out with this, I'd be ever so grateful... ^^

Thanks!

very cool, try different colors and maybe have the tape be a little bigger

Thanks

Could use an ipod in the lower back of the shirt sliding into pieces from being cut up...

a darker charcoal type grey may make it appear more stealthy.

I was thinking about charcoal too - not sure it would pop enough though - I'll check it out, thanks.

Yeah I was thinking darker as well

Played with colour options and changed the front foot a little bit. Any improvement?

Fixed a fill error from V2, any thoughts?

i think this needs some distressing

Hmm. The cassette and the tape, or just the cassette?

Or maybe just a distressed label on the cassette?

will sound classic, but i need it needs some kind of volume. I mean the concept is cool, but if you add some lightning and shadows to clearly show how the tape is bend will look way better. Maybe head can be a little bit bigger. And you can add a label to the cassette. Maybe a ninja word or something.

i think it needs some writing on the label. something scrawled in pen. maybe some Japanese characters?

Thanks guys, I'll look into it.

Added a gradient (pretty sure threadless can print this?) Maybe the tape needs some texture too?

yeah looks much better already. Not sure about textures but try to add some white highlights to the tape.

hahaah neat idea!! :) Yeah, gradients can be printed, best I know.

I love the progress so far, you're really moving it along and I like that. The new gradient looks good, I agree that some sharp white highlights could enhance it further, to really make it look tapeish, like THIS. As you can see the tape in that pic is all broken so the highlights are erratic in shape, but you can see how much light it reflects.

My other complaint would be about the pose - to me it gives off more of a serene Tai Chi sort of body posture than a dynamic leaping attack. Find some reference pics for how the body would look mid-spring. Here's one idea, and here's another. I'd love to see the pose breathe more aggression and power. Also I'd make his wrists and ankles a tiny bit wider/ thicker, they seem a tad delicate at the moment. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this one :)

Great design and its almost there.. The tape looks grand but the body of the tape needs work. Its too flat. Maybe give it a name which have been written on by hand? Also you could have it cutting up a CD or a record.

Im up for scoring, please help

Added a tiny bit of depth and texture to the cassette, got two gradients going, changed the pose, thickened the wrists and ankles - what do you think?

looks great on black and with the added depth

this is awesome!
read it right away haha.
they only thing that gets me w. this design is the shading on the tape.
kindof reads like the michellen man puffs u know?
personally i really liked the black flat style w.o the shading.
read more like tape to me.
awesome design. the casette and the figure looks awesome man.
and if you get the time
could you critique mine?
WOULD BE AWESOME IF YOU COULD

Add some light to the 'face' (not too much, 'cause it's a ninja & should be capable of remaining hidden), and I think you're ready.

Jiffy Squid! needs your comments.

I looked at it again, & I think some of the tape highlights (the bands around the arms & legs) aren't quite right -- they make the tape look tubular, instead of flat.

Think this is the one for subbing - any final thoughts?

(I've more or less decided to leave the cassette label-free)

Hmm? Hmm?

oooo I love what you did to the casette :)

the tape lines look much sharper now, I like it. I'll be curious to see how this one does - it's a really fun design.

Sub it! I like it!

sick!
exactly what i was thinkin man.
great update dude.
looks just like tape now.
i agree w. disgruntled.
sub that right nowwwww haha
great design man.
and if you get the time
could you critique mine?
New Version UP!
WOULD BE AWESOME IF YOU COULD

Try to see how it looks with no outline.
It is really cool.
Please rate my submission: Rock & Roll

Thanks to all for commenting. One last post here with the placement - I guess it's gotta be BIG!

I find weird that you use that template instead of a real shirt.
This looks terrific.

Heh, I guess it is a bit weird.

Thanks anyway :)

Thanks for all the comments and help - subbed and pending:

IT'S UP FOR SCORING so check it out if you have time, thanks.

Nice. But do people even know what tapes are. I am old so I know what they are. Great design!!!!

cool!!!
