like = me

Phinx on Jul 09 '08 at 3:59pm

So got any ideas how it should be on the shirt?

DaniellesGarden on Jul 09 '08 at 4:01pm

will there be more to this?

Phinx on Jul 09 '08 at 4:06pm

Should there be, I'm having trouble on what to add.

Mountain Gnome on Jul 09 '08 at 4:07pm

Maybe you can submit patterns to naked and angry instead?

jayrawz on Jul 09 '08 at 4:12pm

put a pirate ship sailing on it..

Phinx on Jul 09 '08 at 4:14pm

What is naked and angry. And I might put a ship or something in it. Not sure?

Phinx on Jul 09 '08 at 4:23pm

What should the theme be? At first I was going to name it "4ft pool" but now I'm not sure.

Phinx on Jul 09 '08 at 4:49pm

Maybe put a toy boat and have it be like a bath tub??

DaniellesGarden on Jul 09 '08 at 4:52pm

try a few things and pick what you like best and then show us, right now all you got is water, so its kind of hard to give any kind of feedback on that. Just think of all the things that go in water there are plenty

Phinx on Jul 10 '08 at 12:53am

OK took my all day to get this done with the pattern in it and too look right. Would this be a good design for a shirt and I need an idea for a theme. Please help, this crap took me all damn day.

cassiepaige on Jul 10 '08 at 12:57am

It'd but it going around the bottom of the shirt and add some other sea-ish things.

Phinx on Jul 10 '08 at 1:00am

More sea'ish things? Like shells and stuff?

Phinx on Jul 10 '08 at 2:53pm

Does the Sea creature look good??

Mountain Gnome on Jul 10 '08 at 2:57pm

have you seen this?

Making Waves - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Mountain Gnome on Jul 10 '08 at 2:57pm

just don't do that. sea creature looks good, just develop your idea further.

Phinx on Jul 10 '08 at 3:00pm

damn! damn! damn! If I knew someone had waves like that already....I would've made it different. That damn thing took me forever to finish and get the patterns on the waves. Ok I gotta get deeper into the idea and tell some sorta story right? Ok thanks. Back to the drawing board....-_-*deep sigh*

downtownregis on Jul 10 '08 at 3:06pm

i really like your bathtub idea. like put the whole thing in a tub and have a little kid staring at the sea creature sitting behind the first set (closest) waves.

bcrider on Jul 10 '08 at 3:08pm

NO! Your waves curl more than that sub, and I like yours better. The sea creature dude is completely cute; I wish this was a wallpaper border, actually... :)

Mountain Gnome on Jul 10 '08 at 3:11pm

oh yeah and here is naked and angry link. It is also run by Threadless.

You can submit patterns there. you can make those tiling patterns in illustrator.

Bathtub idea is cool and I like your textures.

Mountain Gnome on Jul 10 '08 at 3:13pm

sorry and yeah BCrider is right, your design is far batter, that sub i showed sucks, IMO, I was showing you what not to do!

bcrider on Jul 10 '08 at 3:24pm

Oh, no, MG, I didn't assume you meant anything by it at all! :) I definitely agree that it's what NOT to do. :D

Mountain Gnome on Jul 10 '08 at 3:28pm

bcrider, I know, and i was agreeing with you, I cannot believe the 'making waves' sub, it so ridiculous.

bcrider on Jul 10 '08 at 3:31pm

LOL. Completely agreed.

Phinx on Jul 10 '08 at 5:40pm

Ok I may consider the bathtub Idea. But Right now I added about two more sea creatures and It was gonna be called "Sea Monsters Galore!" sound good? Of stick with bathtub idea??

Phinx on Jul 10 '08 at 10:14pm

Ok So I got one more in, I'm planning to add two more to make it "Sea Monsters Galore" or something. Is that a good concept and design?? Let me know please.

Phinx on Jul 11 '08 at 2:50pm

I got two more to go, but how does it look so far??

bcrider on Jul 11 '08 at 3:00pm

THAT IS TOO CUTE. I really like it!!! If you just had the band of design, I think it would be cute as a wrap-around design right across the upper chest and around the back.

Phinx on Jul 11 '08 at 3:09pm

I thought it would be better at the bottom maybe as a wrap around, or no??

Phinx on Jul 11 '08 at 11:16pm

I think I'm done with it but if there's more that could be done let me know. So far I'm thinking it could be called "Sea Monsters Galore".

Phinx on Jul 12 '08 at 12:21am

Ok.......I was hoping Danielle would come back and say something....

DaniellesGarden on Jul 12 '08 at 6:54am

ha here i am. and it looks cute.

throw it on a shirt and lets get see it.

DaniellesGarden on Jul 12 '08 at 6:54am

* - get

C Kid on Jul 12 '08 at 7:35am

I agree. Looks good! :) Lets see how it looks on a shirt. Bottom or chest placement?

Phinx on Jul 12 '08 at 4:59pm

Ok I put it wrapped around the bottom now let me know if it looks good.

Phinx on Jul 12 '08 at 6:04pm

Does anybody think there's something missing??

C Kid on Jul 12 '08 at 6:18pm

I like the bottom wrapp placement. Maybe it is just me and my dirty mind but I think the orange sea monster needs to be placed a little bit more left or right!

Phinx on Jul 12 '08 at 7:12pm

Yea I thought it should be more to the side, I'm trying to figure out how to get that done right now.

Phinx on Jul 12 '08 at 10:16pm

Ok anyone else wanna give me advice on this shirt.

DaniellesGarden on Jul 12 '08 at 10:35pm

I think its too large. quite literally. i mean they can only print 15 wide and this design wouldnt work for xxxl because of that.

the wave pattern could probably be done belt print, and then the serpents would have to be added on top of that. i dont know if that would work or if they would do it.

if you were to do this, I think I might try it a little different since its wrapping around make the back as interesting as the front, and instead of having two rows of waves with two rows of serpents have one row be the same all around, but on the back instead of just serpent tails, have the serpents from the second row on the back.

Phinx on Jul 12 '08 at 10:41pm

Smart idea that could help me move them more to the side almost like a lining on the side of the shirt instead of the head just slapped in the middle of the shirt. Also I'll shrink it down some because the whole 15 wide thing. Do you mean it's too big as in wideness or as in design wise it takes too much space up on the shirt?

DaniellesGarden on Jul 12 '08 at 11:59pm

well i think it would be cool if it wrapped around the shirt, but I just mean screen size.

their is a limit to the width of the screen and I believe it is 15" which means that anything that were to wrap around would need to be belt printed, and even then it doesnt always meet up correctly. if there was a way you could figure out to do this without wrapping it around, I think it would be better because then it would be a feasible design to print, instead of just looking cool if they could do it.

im not saying they can't Im just saying I dont think they can.

Phinx on Jul 13 '08 at 12:03am

Ok maybe I could just have the first two on the front and the other two on the back without the wrap so wit will leave a space on the side of the shirt but still would look mainly the same.

DaniellesGarden on Jul 13 '08 at 12:05am

just be careful you do it in a way that there are not hard edges on the sides.

Phinx on Jul 13 '08 at 12:11am

You mean flat edges? Where the design stops??

DaniellesGarden on Jul 13 '08 at 12:12am

right, you need to do something else with that so it doesnt stop abruptly

Phinx on Jul 13 '08 at 12:14am

Well if it doesn't stop flat then.....how would it stop?

Phinx on Jul 13 '08 at 12:16am

Oh, maybe I could make it not wrap around completely. Maybe I could just have the design come around the side then the tip of the edge would be a waves fading out or something or getting smaller until it ends.

DaniellesGarden on Jul 13 '08 at 12:26am

yeah something like that

Mountain Gnome on Jul 13 '08 at 5:21am

Oh the monsters look good. I would suggest calling it "Here be monsters" like on old maps.

On the design, I would suggest keeping the monsters tails on the same level on the front and back of the shirt. As it looks somewhat dimensionally confused now. Also remove the large green loop of monster body, as it does not match with the rest of the bodies.

I hope this ^ makes sense.
