Definately digging the owl, but the text i think takes away from it a little.

how can you use the internet and not know the orly owl is old and worn out. the style of the owl is very nice though.

lol @ nerds making fun of people for not spending their whole lives on a computer. why does the owl have a mouth instead of a beak?
theurbanraptor
theurbanraptor on Dec 10 '06
cause i tried to make the beak with yellow. but it looked odd. so i went with black. if you look at the larger version i posted you can kind of see the outline.
j.ayde
j.ayde on Dec 10 '06
i dont think the people saying lose the text are idiot. they just think the designs is lessened by it. jeez. what ever happened to being nice. but yeah. i like it. smaller text. or higher text placement.

O RLY?



:P



this better get printed-with the text!
missoulute
missoulute on Dec 11 '06
keep the text, but I think I'd like the Owl bigger in proportion to the text... mostly just because I really want more owl.
Ava Adore
Ava Adore on Dec 11 '06

nicely done!

Grasshopper30 on Dec 11 '06
The illustration is great, I don't think it goes well with the text. It makes sense but it just looks wrong. Not giving you a bad score though.

Thanks for doing an owl!!!!!!! (I made the request on the fox t-shirt since owls are obviously the greatest birds to exist. Ever.)

welcome bridge. i did another too. it should be up sometime soon.
Molokaijade
Molokaijade on Dec 11 '06
I really think that you should lose the text. The owl more than makes up for it. Just owl...awesome shirt.
macgruder
macgruder on Dec 11 '06
I like the owl a lot, but I'm sorry, I dont get the text, and I'm on the internet 10 hours a day. Must be a niche I'm not familiar with.
JubeiSaotome
JubeiSaotome on Dec 11 '06
no, just no.
theurbanraptor
theurbanraptor on Dec 11 '06
get instead of saying

"no, just no"



how about saying something productive or at least witty.

carolynmain on Dec 12 '06
I way dig the owls, they remind me of a black velvet painting. I Don't think the text adds tho, cus your owl doesn't match that expression.
Baron von Aaron
Baron von Aaron on Dec 12 '06
without the text it's just an owl



the ORLY with the owl makes sense to people who know about it. I'd buy it. I'm not a nerd, and just because someone knows of the ORLY owl doesn't mean they're a geek or nerd or anything.
thegiantkiller
thegiantkiller on Dec 12 '06
I think the text gives it context, but it would look better if it was smaller in proportion to the owl.

redsugar on Dec 12 '06
Isn't the o rly thing done? This design was up here over a *year* ago.
theurbanraptor
theurbanraptor on Dec 12 '06
red sugar, take another look at that design you posted and tell me how they are similar other than orly?
redsugar
redsugar on Dec 12 '06
They're nothing similar, except the o rly. Your style is *gorgeous* (I especially liked your dragon), I just think the o rly thing is dated and done.
theurbanraptor
theurbanraptor on Dec 12 '06
i know it is dated red, it was an attempt to revive it. but i dont think it worked.
Banangela
Banangela on Dec 12 '06
LOVE the owl. Dislike the "ORLY". Like the bigger design print.



Very, VERY sweet owl.
Tal Celes
Tal Celes on Dec 12 '06
I appreciated that you tried to do the O RLY meme but i think the Owl is strong enough to be on it's own on the shirt
Grasshopper30
Grasshopper30 on Dec 12 '06
Leave the beak as it is. The "mouth" is what caught my eye in the first place.
lhercher
lhercher on Dec 13 '06
um, owls don't have gaping mouths. Looks like a grandpa who can't find his dentures.
theurbanraptor
theurbanraptor on Dec 13 '06
orly?

hmmm lhercher maybe it is a grandpa owl then?

ya rly.
kate.rad
kate.rad on Dec 13 '06
The 'mouth' is adorable, even if its anatomically incorrect for an owl. I like it with the text, but when its BRIGHT YELLOW, does it really need to be THAT big? Smaller text and I'd buy it.

Peppermont
Peppermont on Dec 14 '06
Great job--the world needs more O RLY owls. =P And I love love love that owl, it's so well drawn; awesome style. But I don't really like the combination of the two. But then, maybe it's cool that way, how much they sorta...clash? oh damn, I dont even know what I think anymore. ... im such a n00b... well whatever, its awesome anyway. ya rly!
prettycoloredmarbles
prettycoloredmarbles on Dec 14 '06
I really like it! The colors are great - just no text... His muppet-like mouth is cool...

Ya rly!!! 5!





I'm surprised by the number of Threadless appreciators who don't know the meme...
soundinnovation
soundinnovation on Dec 15 '06
I get the reference, but I still like the owl more than the text. I know taking away the text kinda removes the point, but honestly, I think I'd rather see something else drawn with owls in the same style, possibly along the same theme, but just without the text. The style is awesome, maybe if you could use multiple owls with different expressions to convey the O RLY and YA RLY messages.
jennnnnie
jennnnnie on Dec 15 '06
just yesterday I thought to myself "we need a good 'O RLY' shirt" and when I saw this just now, I said aloud, "YES"
