the ladies will love it. The boys will love it. The bears will be furious

it's cute, but the sillouette reminds me too much of the Sally Finds a Stray one....

It's not really a shirt I would buy, but at least lose the damn musicnotes. And the bear looks cool, not too sure about the girl...

similar... but that ones a little more flow-y than mine. i used a photo of a bear and traced the edges as angularly as i could. then i added a bit of bulk and cut away the fur lines. no big secret.

thats also (i believe) a female bear. mines a male.

(you can tell by the way the neck connects into the back. its a lot bulkier on a male.)

i like the design a lot. hope it gets printed.

I love it. I'd buy it for sure.

cool... thanks for all the support everyone.

this was designed for my fiance (bear kisses is an inside joke, because she only knows two words in spanish- "BESO" and "OSO"), so i figured i'd see if i could make something beautiful out of it.

looks like i'll definately end up submitting this once i clean up a few details (including removing the sock-hoppy music notes).

any other suggestions are definately welcome.

"must take yoga classes...."

lucky bear.

i'd work on those straight edged lines. some real curves would help a lot, and i'd work on the girl because i like working on girls.

d3d!

thanks for the critique, d3d.

i personally want to keep the straight edges. hopefully give it a little bit of a different feel than the smoother vectory work of a lot of the other artists.

i definately plan on doing a lot more work on the girl. especially in the back and arm areas.

a quick question for everyone though... do you like the silhoutte style, or would you prefer to see it in a little more detail?

question...could I get that on a tshirt?? seriously :) I need it...NEED IT.

It looks pixelated to me. The bear is neat, I don't like so much the silohouette of the girl her waist s too long and her butt too big.

I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.

→ All of my designs

I'm a pretty normal guy, really. I work as a web designer, though I plan on going back to college next fall. I'm engaged to an amazing girl. I read comic books and play with little plastic star wars toys. All in all, very normal.

So that everyone is aware, any shirt that is even a little bit vectory or cartoony is meant as a joke. That's really not my style, and these designs are generally just done to keep my from going insane during board meetings.
