So I finally subbed my first design and have realized that you've got to have a thick skin here on threadless. It's not that the comments on my sub are all that bad (though they're not all good), it's just that when I'm scoring subs I notice a huge amount of negative and even a lot of unconstructively negative comments. How do you guys deal with the rejection???

Gas Masks, Unicorns/Dragons, Mario Bros., more Gas Masks, Food With Faces, and Robots? Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with them. It's just, why do so many people seem to be illustrating them?

Any other fun trends popping up that I've missed? (Or blatantly left out such as pandas, which is the subject of my first sub ;)

Well, I guess this is basically a big Hello to the Threadless world. I'm a newbie struggling to come up with my first big idea for a cool tee. The stuff that gets printed here is just awesome! It's intimidating and inspiring at the same time. Well, I guess I'll be seeing you all around as I spend waaay too much time on here!
