i saw sub this one next!

i mean say

i think the owl needs work.

you are a perfectionist lol. But hey your designs come out awesome

I think you're going to give yourself an ulcer if you keep worrying so much. ;-)



(I'm a perfectionist as well, and I *do* have an ulcer because of it. So I'm just looking out for your well being. ;-)

Just get an ulcer and sue threadless!

if the owl needs any work, perhaps a tiny bit of shading with that lighter brown colour. but it's nice, as is!

jeez you're a worker kalien, i leave for like a day and everything is totally different in an awesome way. i think you're right about the owl, it could be a bit less strong looking, if that makes any sense. i agree maybe some shading with the light brown and a little less of the white might be good. other than that though chalk up another beautiful and imaginative design to kalien.



you should try writing/illustrating childrens books i think...

Ha ha, don't overwork it now. It looks awesome.

you *are* a perfectionist. but watch out - look at that sea monster's head on the model.



also, the owl's left wing (the one on the owl's left, not our left) should be moved to our right

i see what banana is talking about the wing and i agree

whats wrong with the head of the sea monster? I will fix the wing.



Nevvie- I'm not worried. I just want it to look the best it can. This is whaI do for fun. Hopefully for work some day soon as well.



Jmaster-I went school for illustration. It a super tough feild to get into. I am still trying to break through. Happy that you think my work is suited to it though.



I have learned to be a perfectionist from working at Newspapers as layout artist. So i will sue them if i get an ulcer. : )



I will fix the wing and repost later tonight.

kalien: ah, sorry, not the head, but the neck. and half of that bottom island. i'm talking about the preview on the model, not the big view of the design itself.

bananna can you spell it out for me please. DO you mean you can't see it very well?

moved owls wing

looks great

thanks

It's a beautiful thing. I'd buy it. :)

oooh, you fixed the neck! (sorry, i should have been more clear - the neck was much, much darker than the rest of the monster, but it's easy to see if you compare the two versions).



i still think the wing should be more to our right. also, it's much wider than the other one.



overall, though, this is turning out to be one of the best designs here :] you are truly amazing

yeah, sorry to be all nitpicky - i do really really like the design

oh no thats good I like nit picky. More to our right o.k. will do.

oh and thank you for the high praise.

Absolutely stunning. I must have it.



:D

:)

very nice sub that stuff

yeah i hink this is getting subbed tonight.

made wing smaller and moved moved back a bit

looks awesome i will give it a $5. And now i will wait to sub mine cuz i know if i go against you i will lose lol

ha ha ha. wich one are you subbing?

the bad day one because so far i cant think of anything else to change and a couple people said its good and i should sub it. But if you want to take a look and give me your comments I would loveyour opinions.

oh I love that one. I just thought you should fill in the cloud. Othr than that i thought sub it

thank you. that means a lot coming from you because you are such a good artist

I've had time to practice.

I really want to sub this.now. Something says wait till tomorrow.

this is looking good. i still like the idea of a grasping hand coming after them, it's just the hand needed work but i guess that's water under the bridge.



i think it's ready to go, the moon being underneath the escapees seems a bit odd to me, but maybe that's me and it's a minor point.



after i finish any kind of artwork i usually let it sit there for a while before displaying it anywhere, just to make sure it's not gonna call me back to finish it. but this looks great.

hey thanks spider

i think i am going to sub this now. Does anyone have any more comments?

None, other than GOOD LUCK. :)

wish i knew why people ar clicking needs work. Why click that and not comment?

thank you opifan64. I hope you are right.

subbed. I will let you guys now when its posted.

oh, good

I put The long journey on a shirt model too

I hope so. That would be so cool.

$5, again. the owl is beautiful.

hey kalien where did you find this shirt model?

hmmm, the whole comment didn't post weird...



$5 to this one too, the owl is beautiful now =)

Jmaster- Thanks for all your advice.



I found the model here

http://www.flickr.com/groups/lessthread/pool/page4/

or

http://flickr.com/photos/arzie13/sets/72157600169356184/

I think its on one of those pages.

my pleasure on the advice, thank you for your help too =)

looks like you're getting called up to the bigs now if alumni are going to start blogging for you. you deserve it too.

how are you not printed yet?...



i think the stars should be the same color as the moon, just cause its weird to have stars darker than the sky. i also had the same thought as spiderflux about the moon being low, but i wasn't sure if it was a big deal or not.

oh yes please do blog. That would be great!



I don't think you just got lucky. That is a great design.

lajlaj- this style is new for me. Wish catchers is my first like the ones I have been doing recently. Maybe thats why.



Well if its too low its too late now. :)

so how long after scorring did you find out you won?

what shirt opifan was yours, and ya i would like to know how long it takes too

i subbed it already. thanks

ah o.k. maybe. Still think it is a great design

opifan: my girlfriend *just* bought that shirt. she loves it. you didnt "just get lucky", its an awesome design :]



kalien: $5 from me when it shows up :]

thanks banana

oooh opifan you're the one who did that shirt...i love that one too nice work.

one of my faves of yours kalien

print this man!

put a link in here when its up so we can vote!

will do.

Up for scorring now!



http://www.threadless.com/submission/137522/rescued#lastcomment

ooo if yours is up then my should hopefully be up soon too cuz i think we sub'd on the same day

oh cool. let me know when its up

it is up I just found out YAY. If you go to the post i posted the link. Also I gave this design a $5 :)

thanks. will do the same for you

Thanks



Have you heard anything about your previous design yet?

no nothing. I doubt they will print it. It got a 2.46

I don't know if thats high enough to print.

well if you look at most if not all that they do print they are all pretty much in the 2 range. idn why. Maybe none average to be more then 3

what would be a 5 shirt? I nly give something a 3 if i think it sucks

Hmm guess it just depends on what the judges want to print then.

at least artists can't be eliminated:)

hmm o.k.

Theres no way of knowing until they let you know either by emailing you or not

?

oh i get it misspelled word

does it say how many $ you got?

and wow it would be cool if it won no matter when, but the waiting would kill me lol.

i gave this a $5! and... idk about score, i'm fairly picky. most things are in the 1-3 range coming from me.



i've seen a fairly diverse range of winning scores - i think the real question is, how subjective is their selection process? i.e. how much is based on score, and how much is based on their own judgement?

hmm o.k. well that a lot of god info.



thanks for the blog opi.

and for the 5$ banana

good

how long is the wait. Like how long do i need to wait before they tell me its a print?

well, hopefully we'll both know soon enough :]



i wonder if it's just that the average score comes down so much now that theres like a billion people voting...

hmm maybe

i know thats the way i look at it. If i love it i give it a 5, but if i think its a good design i give it a 3. If you look at my average that i give people its 2. something, but it doesnt mean that i hate most peoples work. i just wouldnt wear them but i think they have a good idea

for me, 0 means i hate it, 1-2 means i dont really like it, 3 means it needs work, 4 means i like it but wouldnt wear it, and 5 means i'd wear it. $5, obviously, means i'd buy it AND wear it :P



opifan: that's a bad way to score, though. it's an average, so if everyone votes 3 as their highest, the highest will *be* a 3. if people voted higher the average would be higher. then again, maybe im just bitter cuz my design got a 1.8 :[

oh no. what design was it?

banana i gave you a high score on the new one. I love it!

scored a 2.88!

this is definitly ready for submission
