About my design
by J-Ray
4 or 5 colors. The pink burst is optional, depending on the shirt color / Threadless' preference. If you notice a resemblance to another design, don't panic. I drew the cat for that design, and since many people wanted to see the cat by itself, I made this.

Maneki Neko is a Japanese lucky cat, which is used to bring prosperity or fortune. This one's tag says "rock n roll".

i agree that the pink burst should be optional, doesn't work for me. i would define the arm(s) a little more because right now, it looks like it blends right into the body.

Not feeling the pink burst. Should have made different kinds of cats (after all, cats of fortune represent different fortunes based on the breed of cat they are. Typically they are a male calico cat because they are very rare, but cats of fortune can be white, black, red. pink, or gold). Also, if the left paw is being raised, it means the store's owner is inviting in customers; if the right, the store's owner is inviting in money or good fortune.)

I like the pink burst!

(And, thanks for the culture lesson, godofvengeance. I'll keep it in mind when I set up my neko in my window.)

Thanks god of vengeance; unfortunately there are no Lucky Cats specific to Rock n Roll.

And please, if you don't like the pink burst, don't vote against it. The option without the burst is there as well. Thanks for your comments so far everybody, I'm amazed this went through so fast!

Go Mangoboy! you are on a roll.
The spot beside the rock n roll tag bothers me a little. It sorta looks like the cat has had his arm(leg?) chopped off till you see the paw on the ground. Maybe thats what swallowedafallingstar meant.

realslimnatey on Feb 06 '07
maybe you could fade the pink burst a little, use halftones to do its justice or something, i like the idea of having it but it just seems too overly powerful

Heh heh. Know this Chinatown real-world feline well. My mates and I call its the drum n bass cat. Think the battery-operated arm movement suits dnb better but the rock twist is nice ;)
I say pink burst on the white girly tees only. Others look great as is. This shirt would sell really well in Melbourne, Aus.

I'd have put the symbol for N on a line by itself and left out the little Tsu that ties Ro and Ku together to make it say "Roku n Roru", but I guess it still works.

it is not a stupid american shirt. you look at the streets of japan and they where some pretty weird things (so is that, and "i'm a stupid japanese guy?") no, i'm still surprised i haven't seen it. lol, my friends here love it J-Ray!!! hope it prints :P

Okay, I like this shirt, but as an asian studies major, you know what would be epic?

If the manekineko was holding an LP or a CD in its down paw instead of a coin as usual, and its extended paw was still doing the horns.

Awesome anyway.
