Critique this anyone?

Okay, so I found this sub in the critique section. Just wondering what you all think?

it's bland. it's just the same image repeated three times. the joke is cheap and dull. the colours aren't exciting. it's not for me.

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 8:49pm

Does anyone have any constructive critiques? Thanks, d3d for being an ass.

This isn't my work, but I was still looking for thoughts, constructive ones, that is.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 8:51pm

in all honesty, i have to agree with leon. sorry...

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 8:52pm

Any suggestions. It's my sister's. She's just starting out. What will make it better?

Polyester Jones on Jan 22 '08 at 8:54pm

Is it yours?

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 8:54pm

no.

I think the joke would be more subtle if two of the fish were bubbling normally -

but it is fart humor - the fish are well done

Polyester Jones on Jan 22 '08 at 8:56pm

I think it's you.

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 8:56pm

Good idea.

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 8:56pm

Yeah, no. I'm not a visual artist. Good try though.

Hi Esther. Long time no see

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 8:58pm

I took a little break. I've been having a rough time, but doing better now.

fatheed on Jan 22 '08 at 8:58pm

Fish are great. Concept is so so :)

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 8:58pm

Punk Rock Cock is amazing, fatheed.

My sister started in design school last year. This is her first critique, so, any comments help. Thanks, fatheed.

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 9:00pm

omg, fatheed, all of your designs are witty.

fatheed on Jan 22 '08 at 9:01pm

Hey, thanks!

sonmi on Jan 22 '08 at 9:02pm

i don't know if any design changes can make this a better sub. the concept itself is kind of weak, like d3d said (who i don't think was being an ass; just a honest voice)

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 9:03pm

it's not a sub yet.

sonmi on Jan 22 '08 at 9:05pm

i know... i mean, i don't know what changes can be made in its critique form to improve on it, because even if it's a beautiful illustration, it needs a stronger idea, otherwise it's just some beautifully rendered fish with bubbles coming out of their butts.

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 9:06pm

I agree. Thank you.

esthergrondahl on Jan 22 '08 at 9:07pm

By the way, congratulations for all of your prints, Sonmi. I've been gone for a few months.

sonmi on Jan 22 '08 at 9:08pm

thanks esther :) and welcome back.

I am a musician and teacher. I received my degree in Music Education and am currently teaching middle school chorus.

Although I am not a visual artist, I have a ton of experience with "the arts." I can appreciate good artwork and better yet, talented artists.

I really love looking at the designs on threadless, because I can relax and enjoy some really great work.

Here are the winners of my friend blog. Each of these people will receive my stp's until further notice. (the next few months) I will go down the list in order each time I make a purchase.
