Two colors on heather, coral or teal. Five colors on jade. I know heather is a hard sell, but I love the contrast of black & white over the texture of the grey.

I thought this was a really cool Loves theme with tons of narrative possibility. I gave the woman some art deco styling in the form of a wavy bob and a deco/WWII skirt ensemble. I apologize for the poor image quality and tiny pics. Visit my blog for close-ups and color options.

Also look for the little anchor pin she's wearing on her blouse. http://www.threadless.com/profile/409227/rathergreen/blog/206717/See_the_Sea_sub_detail

Trouton on Apr 02 '07

Amazing! Great work!

maximusrex on Apr 02 '07

huh! The art is better than the contest.

vixyish on Apr 02 '07

This is fantastic, and a nicely original take on the theme, too. If it doesn't win Bioshock, I hope it gets printed as a regular tee-- it has such great narrative possibilities of its own.

Especially love the way you've done the water. The whole thing is very graphic novel-y.

Iheartgus on Apr 02 '07

i think it's really good too. I agree that this art transcends the contest.

Robsoul on Apr 02 '07

Lovely composition and illustration, especially that water and the banner/scarf. Ace work.

amaliaslash on Apr 02 '07

this illustration is full of simple greatness. my top two favorites are the coral and jade, which you've conveniently placed at the top...but i like all of them, too.

rathergreen on Apr 02 '07

Thank you so much for the great feedback so far. In the beginning, the water was a bit of a struggle to take from reference photo to illustration. I eventually found a great drawing to use as reference for the style. I found inspiration in a lot of different things - graphic novels (mentioned above), Huebucket for the flowing scarves, deco architecture for the cliff.

Simple and elegant!

LauraJerry on Apr 02 '07

I love this! This is truly art, and not only that, it's art I would wear. If you don't win for Bioshock, you should re-submit for a regular Tee.

kiches on Apr 02 '07

Very nice, the dark green is my favorite.

eraseyourname on Apr 02 '07

I love this design- it's a nice contrast to all of the girl/bubble head monster designs that most have submitted to the contest. You definitly deserve to win. $5 times a bazillion. :D

dweebulous on Apr 02 '07

pickledbib on Apr 02 '07

gerbera.daisies on Apr 02 '07

radiostaticstar on Apr 03 '07

i really like this alot, 5$...

nathanielw on Apr 03 '07

Not only is this amazing work, it's one of the few designs in the contest that speaks directly to the theme without using imagery from the game, or monsters, underwater, etc. It's a very unique interpretation. It's spot on for the theme, and amazing on its own. 5$

lunchboxbrain on Apr 03 '07

loving this. 5. great work.

Carthage on Apr 03 '07

yay, it's up! you know i love this one 5$

viralVISUAL on Apr 03 '07

Blue and Grey's best. I'd buy.

SuperAgentGirl on Apr 03 '07

Very cool. Not my thing, but so amazing!

herky on Apr 04 '07

great illustration and large side placement, I love the way you rendered the cliff and ocean/waves.

OlliRudi on Apr 04 '07

i like it on heather...the grayscale lends it an air of old school drama, like a frame from an old B/W surrealist film. good work, $5

Mandyhello on Apr 04 '07

Jade :)

descartes on Apr 05 '07

the small pictures are deceiving... look at the large images they're much better. I like it on jade the best.

rathergreen on Apr 05 '07

So many subs in the running right now! Thank you for taking the time to vote and comment - I really appreciate it. Keep it coming.

StrayGhostie on Apr 05 '07

this is actually my favorite for this comp so far! i love it!

LeRoi on Apr 05 '07

Why centered? Make it in the corner.

pixievix on Apr 05 '07

That's really beautiful--especially on green. Lovely & eerie. Plus it works if you know nothing about the game but just want an arresting shirt.

lemonalle on Apr 06 '07

That is really lovely. And scary!

Odelay on Apr 06 '07

I love this on the green.

manskull on Apr 06 '07

One of the best designs I've seen here. Keep it up. 5$

Fletcher Fashion on Apr 07 '07

This is by far y favorite design I have ever seen on this website.
$5.

Fen on Apr 08 '07

unpretentiously beautiful.

blossompossum on Apr 08 '07

I'm thinking of that song "Carrion" right now. If you know the lyrics, you'd know what I mean.

And I really, really want this to be printed!

DelicateBalance on Apr 08 '07

I want this shirt soooooooooooooooooooooo bad the best I've seen here! I think I like the green the best, but, I would would buy the blue if her body was skin colored and the clothes where a different shade of blue than the background. No matter what I want this shirt and I want it to be printed.
