Trying to combine a retro boom box with a sound wave colored with a cool rainbow effect. I really like it! Please suggest ways to improve!

pretty nice graphic, why don't you try bringing the boom box in front the sound wave, add some white to the sound wave to creat the illusion of light may be just a little white, add some glow or shadow to the boom box and may be some texture on the background.

buen trabajo sigue así

Thanks! I will try all of those suggestions!

i like this but i agree with grafita
the boom box is well done, the wave is a bit overpowering of it

please stop posting links to this on peoples designs that are actually in the running for vote

okay thanks lanza! this is just a first draft so i'll take all your ideas!

@Resistance
don't click it then :)

would adding sound waves on the speakers over complicate it?

Yeah It would.

no, too flashy for threadless. And btw ur reallly good at drawing boomboxes!

THE SHIRT LOOKS DIRTY

what do you mean too flashy?
and dirty?


well i think one of the problems with threadless is that the people that score critiques are other artists, aka not the people who would buy the shirt.

this is actually really awesome.

I think it has a GOOD chance here because people dig these kind of looks

when the guy said "dirty" hes referring to your texture background that you have for the black part of the shirt.

Which reminds ME loosely of a universe, outerspace - that kind of deal.

Maybe instead of having it be a full body cover, maybe work some subtle stars in there to really frame up your boombox without covering the whole shirt.

just ideas.. I love the work you've done here, the detail and crispness of the hi rez is astounding.

also consider checking out "threadless tee templates" on FLICKR.COM
for more templates to work with.
great stuff, buddy.

oh! and if you get a sec, check out my sub as well!

just hit it with a vote, and if you like it - lemme know!

keep up the good work!

hipster... but then again so many things could be so you're chill. too harsh of a difference between rough paint splatter all over and smooth texture of the ghettoblaster but do what you want

I like this very much, your idea is amazing : D the design is kinda hypnotic in a good way! I think it would look good on a t-shirt.

Please tell your opinion about mine too, if you have some time. Thank you and good luck! :)

@electric method
thank you very much! i checked yours out it was really good i gave it a 5!

@tasku
thanks!

also, you can use html to post a clickable link like electric did!

looks good but I think it would be better if the colours didn't touch the edge of the shirt.

check mine out if you can: here

Detail!

Whoa, the image looks like it's moving! Crazy. Anyway, cool, but maybe a slightly higher placement and shrink it a tiny bit. What does it look like on white?

If you have the time, please vote and comment on Peter Panda. Thanks!

Much better on the cleaned up t-shirt., placement is the only thing I'd suggest playing with... but then you may have done that already and decided this looks best?

great colour and details. what does it look like on colour shirt?

If you have the time, please vote and comment on say cheese. Thanks!

@noelhathorn
i kinda just randomly picked a spot! where do you think it would be best?

@sony lfm
what color shirt would you suggest?

Well?

The edges are too hard. Maybe make the edges pixelated or grungy so the transition isn't so abrupt. Sorry that my comment is kind of unclear.

i know what you mean, it's really obvious on the non black shirts especially!
thanks!

check out my other critiques too if you can :)

so far, its working only on the black shirt..

yeah, as the others said definitely fix the edges. It looks like you should have left the background color on a different layer. Other than that, I would also make the design a little smaller on the shirt templates and more centered. Looks good otherwise!
If you get a moment, please score my design!
