No thanks.

I'd like it if you couldn't see her breast at all. 3
|
 |
Scotticus on Mar 21 '07 nice illustration... just a little too seductively dark for me.
|
|
manga, yes...tee, no.
|
 |
no
|
 |
this is........weird. for some reason the woman and the tentacles are not working together for me. and yes, it would have helped to just have the tentacles cover the breasts instead of adding XX, imo.
|
|
Really beautiful, but I agree; I'd like it more if the breasts were covered, and no band-aids...
|
 |
i thought people might be ready for something a lil more scandelous. but alas i am wrong :(
|
 |
it's not the scandal that isn't working for me, it's the x's. the rest of the design is very curvy and those x's sort of break up the flow for me. i'd rather the breasts be covered or have actual nipples.
|
 |
Interesting. I like it, but I think it could be improved.
|
 |
really cool idea, but i agree that you shouldn't have the XX and also add detail to the space between her neck and her boobs - it is really flat right now
|
 |
wotto on Mar 21 '07 pleeeeease no more f ing octopus!!!
|
 |
There is a tee here on threadless that has a DJ woman with X's on her nips. People didn't seem to be too bothered about it thwn...
|
|
This is the one I meant: Urban Goddess
|
|
I like it.
|
 |
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Mar 21 '07 yeh but here the tape on her nipples don't seem appropriate...
while i love the idea for a genre movie...and i really do love that idea...it's not that t-shirtable. i think... sorry dude. |
 |
I like the design, I do agree that the arms (they aren't tentacles people, let's get that straight!) should be covering her up...I think that would make for a more interesting design. I'd also like it more if she had a nose, not just the nostrils, it's a little creepy. Great idea, but it needs some work...I'd definitely want it if it was reworked a bit!
|
 |
Her proportions strike me as odd. At first I thought it was just that her shoulders are too broad, but there's also something going on with her clavicals and the height of her breasts that strikes me as not quite right.
|
 |
you should have put it up for critique! thats it! thats your problem.
do that next time. |
|
I only see 7 tentacles....where's the 8th???? This is a bit too sicknasty for me, but the illustration is nice.
|
 |
TITS caleb. TITS.
|
 |
kaloyster on Mar 21 '07 My bet! This should win!
|
|
nah, it wont. too many people turned off by it, you should have voted number 2 kaloyster!
|
 |
this is awesome!!! also my bet. everyone should love it. :D
|
 |
in despite of what they say I like it!!!!
|
 |
would probably work for bioshock too. nice work! 5
|
|
this shirt is so cool, and so creative, but everybody who says so it right: if the X's weren't there, and the tentacles were covering them or wrapping around them, it'd be so much better.
if you follow our advice, this shirt would be bought like crazy. |
 |
Eew. Why are women's boobs always represented as "D's". Those 77 lb fun bags will be down to her belly button by age 24
|
 |
Aw come on! I'm 24 and still holding up. Jesus. I know that all too often women are depicted in an unrealistic sexual way, but so are men.
Sorry. Stop hating on busty women. Meanwhile, I agree about nixing the Xes and something is odd about the left side (viewer perspective) of her waistline, I'm not sure if it's posture or something related to the tentacle next to her, but it seems somewhat off. It's interesting. Reminds me of old Japanese tentacle-rape prints. |
 |
nope.
|
|
Futa here- futa there- futa, futa... everywhere.
|
 |
I feel the tentacles and naked ladies thing is played out a but much. If there was something new brought to the equation I might be interested, but I don't really see anything new here.
|
 |
Yeah where's the 8th tentacle and why does she look so pleased? :-I
|
 |
I like the nipple x's!!!!
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 23 '07 Awwwww....Newt from Aliens is all grown up and up to her bustiness in new sewer system misadventures! I wish there was a lil' bit o' color on this one, but it aint' half bad my man!
|
|
kaloyster on Mar 23 '07 I voted number 2, urban. I just like this one as well.
It's sad some people are overreacting over a pair of god-given ample breasts. So sad. "It's just a t-shirt." - Russell Hammond, Still Water |

jhl786 on Mar 23 '07 it's only a t-shirt if it wins, so stop using that quote.
|
|
kaloyster on Mar 23 '07 "It's just a t-shirt design."
Better now? |
|
jhl786 on Mar 23 '07 yes
|
 |
no
|
|
jhl786 on Mar 23 '07 lol at sevententacles
|
 |
i like the design but maybe if ya use 1 or 2 of the tentacles to cover her nipples instead of X's. Thats what I would do.
|
 |
jstumpenhorst on Mar 24 '07 this is pretty damn cool! i had to look twice to see who did this because it's different from your other recent stuff. very nice! 5!
|
 |
I don't think it's just the "pair of god-given ample breasts" that people are reacting to, it's the implications.
And P.S., why is it that whenever someone wants to be scandalous or seductive they use naked women? Maybe I'm just being feminist but it seems disrespectful to women. Like all we are are pieces of ass or whatever. Not to accuse you theurbanraptor, I'm just feeling ultra feminist I guess. |
|
no no.... I agree with you fully Natika.... Just was trying my hardest to bite my tongue.... But i guess its like the song says.... 'if you bite your tongue all you get is a mouth full of blood'.
Thank you for speaking your mind about this one. It's not that you are ultra feminist, you are just reacting to the negative vibe that any self- respecting woman would get from this design. |
|
thats a lil ridiculous of an accusation towards me.
Its actually in a specific style and i dont see how its demeaning in anyway. its not portraying women in a negative manner at all. |
 |
This looks like hentai...
|
 |
i like it, but it would be better if the tenticles were covering up her nipples instead of tape, the tape kind of throws the whole thing off.
|
|
I'm not trying to accuse you, I said that.
Perhaps you didn't mean to portray women in a negative manner, but that's how it seems to me so just be aware that some people might take it that way. We might be wrong, but that's how we'll take it. |
|
the ones i drew are ample?
i thought i made themkind of low. |
 |
ISABOA on Mar 24 '07 don't sweat it raptor - There is always someone thats going to complain
|
 |
nope.
|
 |
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? IT'S AWFUL! everything about this tee design is degrading.
I'm insulted that you would even imply that it is NOT. In fact, I think it's a joke that you would say it's not because you gave it a name that is in every way insulting to women. |
 |
oh, i feel so degraded!
or... not. only silly, silly women let illustrations bother them. the end. mojay. |
|
actually i gave it that name after the jamebond movie.
|
 |
i like it!! a lot. $5
&i dont know why. and people on threadless are just a bit too sensitive. |
 |
Jeez.
Boobies are great, and the idea that a picture of them is somehow representative of a hatred of women, or degrading to all womankind is ignorant hyperbole. My God, what kind of world are we living in? Peoples own neurotic hypersensitivity should not determine the artistic merit of anything. Lighten up. p.s. Nice design, like black side placement, 3 |
|
Where are the designs with the big cocks, eh?
|
 |
Oh ladies, lighten up. Trust me, he is a lady loooover not a woman hater.
I think the tentacle reaching up is a lil erotic...gives me a quiver in the nether regions... |
 |
bananaphone on Mar 25 '07 When John2 did this, it was well done. When you did it, it wasn't.
|
 |
it never ceases to amaze me how people on threadless (blogs) get offended by drawings of breasts.
|
|
yay bananaphone! i was started to feel neglected since you hadn't bashed me in a while! thanks buddy! ♥
|
 |
yuck
|
 |
tentacle rape?
|
|
only if thats how your perverted mind sees it.
|
|
wotto on Mar 25 '07 Tape on nips has been used a lot here in the Uk THERE is an illustrator over here who kinda has it as their trademark. Unfortunately it is being done to death.
|
|
and count again and you will see 8 not 7.
|
|
wotto on Mar 25 '07 this is the guy i was on about jason goodall |

 |
No please.
|
|
sometimes you really hope that peoples avatars aren't them. because if it is them - so sad.
|
|
lol minx!
|
 |
Quote: " its not portraying women in a negative manner at all" You're so right - all women I know just loved to be touched up by tentacles!! Post an alternate version with a guy and maybe I'll believe you - show us ya tentacles theurbanraptor!!
|
|
Oh and if they are her tentacles, rather than someone elses, well dang, we just love to touch ourselves up too! *grin*
|
 |
Lose the text!
|
 |
mezo on Mar 26 '07 The tenticles look rad, I especially like how the inside of them are negative space. But, honestly, I find the girl ugly. Not aesthetically pleasing in the least. Except for her hair. The hair is done well. 3
|
 |
I think this entire design is beautifully done and I'd love to see more like it. I also agree about switching the x's with the tentacles. I don't see this as degrading or negative towards women at all. Too many people seem to think that exposed breasts are a bad thing, when it's personally one of my favorite things. The female body is a beautiful thing; no need to cover it up.
Besides, it makes more sense if she's naked in the water, assuming those are her tentacles. No octo-lady would be wearing clothes, right? |
 |
ehggg....too much....but it's a good drawing/desing.
|
 |
i love james bond... not so much this shirt though
|
 |
I like beautiful women. I really do.....but, would wearing this increase my chances with them? I think not.
Sorry dude. I might have stuck this on my high school diary. |
|
That looks a lot like a design I've seen on pixelgirlpresents.com, but less.. tasteful. Good drawing though...
|
 |
No thanks.
|
|
"tentacle rape?"
"only if thats how your perverted mind sees it." Bull plop! The implication is there and you know it. If it were some issue of intepreting figure/ground, that would be another story. Anyone familiar with the concept of tentacle rape would pick up on it. They have a word in Japanese for someone who finds this sort of imagery appealing. Otaku. Despite any technical merits of this illustration, most people would find this design to be in poor taste. |

Nice illustration, but I definitely agree with the others. Have tentacles covering up the xx's and have the spot between her neck and her boobs a bit more covered by hair/jewelry and it'll be sweet.
Or have her staring monstrously at the viewer and then they become her tentacles and just leave her topless. Either way, a little bit altered and this could be an awesome T. Keep up the great work man! |
