thanks to everyone who helped in the critique!

PoPoJiJo

I think I would have like it more if the pocket was small and in the left chest area

TELP

HEY haha that's cute!! i just thought of something like that a little while ago

lollier888

super cute, but not very wearable.

inconsistent level of detail

popo- i thought it would be cool really big, like you're carrying around a baby kangaroo, but size is negiotiable :)

stubbythumbs- the difference in detail is supposed to show the difference in objects. the kangaroo is supposed the look furry and the pocket is supposed to have a smoother texture.

thanks for the comments!

here is a larger picture with an added shadow that i meant to include in the submission

jpiatt

I like the idea. Very creative. I just don't think it's executed as well as it could be. The folds int he pocket look weird, I mean...the body just wouldn't make folds or shadows like that.
Nice try, but it needs work.

redelephantlabel

I agree with jpiatt. I think it would have been far more effective if you had just left out the folds in the pocket altogether.

jelita78

i like it big..
good one for kids..

spamchev

Oh cut! But you can tell from my userpic, I love a good roo. (go aussie cough cough). I love the little face, but nice to see some paws over the pocket/pouch.

spamchev

Ah, that would be - Oh cute!

you know how much I love this. of coarse a $5
I really hope it gets printed...

brenda.e

seen it before.

LucyB

pocket size please, great!

joshamman

should be bigger.

LeRoi

I'd put it where a normal pocket on a tee goes.

goodensnake

aussie aussie aussie!

potatoesrus

no, i definitely like the baby roo on the stomach, but i just wish it looked more like a pocket, the bulge and the shadow look really strange, but the roo itself looks great. i would totally buy this if it looked a little neater though

lauracake

Yes, a little more work on the pocket detail and it's a great tee. Offering both size options would be perfect.

TAZL

I like that you simplified the pocket from the hairy mess it was before, but maybe it's a little too simplified...

I still love it though! And I like the idea of putting the pocket where a normal shirt-pocket is, but it takes away from the kangaroo-pouch aspect. Oh well. I like Lauracake's idea of offering both size options.

LaMola07

Maybe if it wasn't quite so HUGE. Other than that amazing.

SemantiTheft

We threatened to name our girl Kanga... Kanga Reubush.

... we got a snicker out of it.

hforhello

the kangaroo is beautiful! but the shadow and stuff on the pocket doesn't match the style of the kangaroo. i think they should be more subtle.

brenda.e and oh.the.drama

please show where you have seen this before. otherwise i do not want people's votes to be swayed by rumors and accusations.

thanks for the comments! expect a roo remix with a fixed pocket if this one doesn't do well! (oh and size options)

terryb

i like it but it would be fine with no face shadow on pocket

Tonteau

The roo is really well done, but the pocket looks clumsy.

Atak-Kat

Love it but the pocket needs work ... at least lose the shadow from the roo ... it just confused me for ages ...

char8425

I would so buy this. I would love to carry around a little roo with me all day long. $5 $5 $5

pector

mmmm. dont know, think i wouldnt wear it

silverspawn

How awesome would this be on a hooded sweatshirt???

BigODrummer

I agree with lollier888.

ma17

oh, gosh! people who say that you should put it where an actual shirt pocket is just don't get it. I just think you should work on the texture of the pocket, but don't you dare doing any adjustment on size or placement! it's a $5 now and would have an even better score if the pocket was fixed. hehe

ma17

oh, and people who say it's a copy or unoriginal should always post a link to it. everyone in threadless should start a campaign against accusing of copy without proving it.

thanks everybody!

Giraffe_Nubbies

Nice! I was actually thinking that it would be cool to have a shirt with a wallaby on it -- mainly because I just like to say "wallaby," but this is close enough!

Digdag88

LOVE IT

CONFLICTING OPINIONS

hurricane hanz

too big, and i coudln't tell it was supposed to be a kangaroo.

schleb

hm. thats a shame. it seems like most people don't have a problem with the roo.

blueschiz

Great idea, but it needs work. Roo is very nicely done, love the texture and the character of the face. The pocket needs work. The shadow reads as a black blotch and doesn't agree with the burgundy shadow behind Roo (that one's a bit sharp-edged, but it works). What are the vertical pocket colors about? I really think it is worth reworking and resubmitting.

schleb

thanks! uh oh... 1 more days!

ladykat

Cute! It probably could use a little more work, as blueschiz said... but definitely worth it!

yvanne66

very sweet, nice idea, too!

icebar

haha im working on the exact same thing right now.
but i searched and found this. hmm.
