About my design

Is anyone familiar with the myth?

Nope.

Well, that's fortunate, since the design wasn't based on it from the beginning; I just wanted to make a design that involved this coastal tree I used to see on the drive to school.

But it's reminiscent of the Norse tree of mythology, even if it's not an ash.



I like it on chocolate the most.

um so are you gonna explain the myth?
AnderMoore
AnderMoore on Feb 22 '07
Oh. Simply, Yggdrasil is the Norse ash tree that holds the realms together.

Indeed.

AnderMoore on Feb 22 '07
It's not exactly a diagram that adheres to history, but it is reminiscent.

And more relevant in being such.

So happy to see it made it.

I know the myth

I'm glad you said it didn't adhere to history (the tree is mirrored underneath and circles all around again....but you already knew that) :]



really love it. 5.

it's a nice design, but it does look a little live traced.

I think this design is brilliant, especially in brown.

Badass design and concept. Norse mythology never gets recognition, and it should. Very interesting. Grey looks best, but all of them are good.

So I made my account on here just so I could score it. Major kudos for making a tshirt with the coolest tree ever on it. You know what i'm talking about.



Nudge nudge.

wink wink?

Awkward.

...Does it have anything to do with Yggdrasil?



This design is so freakin' sweet, love it. Brown and gray are definately my favorite colors there.

Does anyone think it should be smaller on the shirt?
sunlover1975
sunlover1975 on Feb 24 '07
no I think the size is ok

I am not familiar with the myth... but before you said there was a myth involved, I thought it was like this:



It is said that the Amazon Forests, mainly from Brazil, are the lungs of the Earth. I thought that was your design all about:: there was a tree (that's interestingly shaped like Brazil!!) and there's the Earth.



ANyway, cool design, best on brown!! :D

I hate the circle around the earth and every color combo involving it. But I love the earth/tree combo.
AnderMoore
AnderMoore on Feb 25 '07
That's my favorite part... But alright.
AnderMoore
AnderMoore on Feb 25 '07
The design looks particularly empty without it...

Noobits on Feb 25 '07
I am familiar with the myth. Isn't something supposed to be chewing the roots away while the fates knot ot knit them back together.?
AnderMoore
AnderMoore on Feb 25 '07
Nidhogg? Indeed. Yggdrasil is "the tree that suffers" and, again, the design does not adhere to mythological diagrams, but it is reminiscent.
AnderMoore
AnderMoore on Feb 25 '07
I'd also need Vidofnir the eagle at the top and Ratatosk the squirrel running between the eagle and Nidhogg spreading gossip and carrying insults between them.

But... I wasn't aiming for an accurate diagram of the Nine Realms of Norse mythology.

I saw the title and thought TALES OF SYMPHONIA! That game is basically my entire knowledge of the myth. Which I realize probably has little to do with the real myth.



On the right there looks like there is a big gap where leaves should be. That's just my opinion though.

i love everything about this design. don't change anything, and i agree that chocolate is the best. $5

It is clear to me that Threadless in it's entirety SUCKS ASS. For some of the shirts to make it to print and others not at all...just another "Popularity" site. I'll not be back. Consider getting a Cafe' press site to put your shirt designs on. That way, folks can get them whether threadless likes them or not.
