About my design

by .liz.
inspired by reference to the playpus as being "nature's bastard child". i always felt bad for the poor duck-beaver!! the little guy is on the front saying his piece, and on the back, the phrase. can be printed on something like white or orange, maybe even blue.



nice guys don't always have to finish last!

this is so cute! maybe make the platypus bigger so you can read the text from a distance. text on the back isn't necessary to make this completely buyable!!! 5

Bastard isn't a bad word. A bastard is an illegitimate child. I think the platypus should look more like a platypus. The color of the feet and bill make it look like a duck wearing rubber gloves. And if you overlook the front feet, it just looks like a duck. The thing to the right looks like a tail, but it also looks like a shadow. Actually, when I looked at the thumbnail, the first thing that came to my mind was "penguin."

And don't forget they have a poison spur on the back of their hind legs.... they say it packs a wallop too!!! damn weird ass platypuses. Let's see... that makes them a poisonous mammal that lays eggs.. Freaks!!

Cute but i think it's be better with the colours inverted (ie blue bill, orange body) because it looks so much like a duck

Yeah ditto on the language.

I'm in favor of making the platypus bigger and changing the colours. Otherwise, I love this.

you probably don't need to put nature's bastard child, but I love the duck-billed playtpus.

What's wrong with bastard?

It's not a bad word, its a honest one that's been turned around to become an insult.



I love it! Agreed to make the platypus bigger though :)

OK. I like "bastard". It has a certain je ne sais quoi. However, if the Hoohah Monologues crowd wins out you could always change it to "red-headed stepchild".
