Thanks for your votes and comments.

....

Where would this go on the shirt??

to much boobage going on for me...

links don't work

^Haha, you tried to link to them............






i did too.

lol travioli.

Ew. I don't like it.

It's too hentai for my tastes.

nice

wow..........................you are cool!!!!

Ditto to 13strong....

It's a little, um, perverted?

I'm sorry but if I saw anyone wearing this I would go out of my way to stay as far away as possible from them.

hah yeah very reminiscent of the hentai style.

i really don't like hentai.

not appealing in the least.

There is something wrong with bubbles' face.

Maybe if it were more tattoo pin-up style then I'd like it, but as said above, it's a little too close to hentai for me.

i really dont like anime

Nice try...but no.

Perfect for a child molester.

God...kelpie is SUCH a slutbag.

And keli, how do you connect a shirt with three full-figured women mermaids with child molesters? Do you people even think about the words they are typing sometimes?

Utterly, utterly emotionally stunted.

This borders on ecchi.

The two bottom girls are direct copies of girls from "Hook-ups" t-shirts. The only original part is the background and the fish portions of the girls. The short haired girl was a nurse on the original (and you kept her nurse hat, very lazy forgery)and the long haired girl was a "jungle bunny" girl originally done in a leapord skin outfit. Take it from an individual with a collection of Hook-Ups t-shirts spanning the last 9 years. I don't know if they are still available for viewing on the Hook-Ups website because they were older shirts, but some may wont to check.

I feel bad just looking at this. But I also feel like going to www.engrish.com
get this off here before we are infected with stereotypes.

Aw, they can't split.

How so? Explain.

Those boobs look SO FAKE
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*phew*
I wish I had boobs like that. Seriously.

Someone is crying out to be breastfed.... too late.

I do agree that the hookups girls were definitely used as references:
Hookups T-Shirt Nurse Girl Trixie, but I am not going to call this a direct rip-off.

i think this is a very clever idea especially since there is the well-known legend of mermaid's lurring sailors

It's halfway between cute and a little weird - I'd like it if you put a proper bikini top on Kelpie - but where would it go on a shirt?

Wow - you guys dislike this almost as much as my girlfriend does...

So let me try to defend myself a little, and address some of the issues:

Boobage: okay, fair enough. As a guy, i find it hard to draw boobs, i'm always a little inclined to make them bigger than is probably physically possible. However, these girls are supposed to be Vegas-type strippers, and it isn't meant to be a life drawing. Hence, they are a little exaggerated. But thats kinda the point. They are meant to distract you, tempt you to stare and ogle them...

Perverted/Hentai: Okay, fair enough, but again, it is a design based around the kinda of seedyness and desperation of strip-clubs (come on, you've got to give me the 'Girls!!! Girls!!! Gills!!! line) and the darkness contained within them. So you should feel perverted and a little disgusted with yourself when you look at this design. These girls are only doin it to get through college after all, and theres you, with all these filthy thoughts...

The 'Hook-ups' issue: Yes, i did study the Hook-ups artwork in the creation of this design. And, i probably should have been a little more creative with the designs of the girls. But as mlnewco pointed out, i don't think you can call this a direct rip off. I used the hook-up girls as templates and gave them a brand new angle. And as for the 'Nurse girl' hat, I saw at as more of a sailors hat, and kept in the design as i thought it looked like just another 'trophy' that one of this murderous trio might keep.

"Perfect for a child molester": I'm with FrickenAwesome on this one. I don't think there is anything childlike about any of these three.

"I'm sorry but if I saw anyone wearing this I would go out of my way to stay as far away as possible from them." Jedibamf, I'm just sorry that somewith such a cool name, isn't a fan.

But, apart from chelly, does anyone else really get the whole design? Or to you just see the boobs?

and if you don't hate it too much, you maybe interested in these, working, links to the other colour variations
Kelpie
Coral
Bubbles

It sucks, you perv. 0$

^ But great, still an 'i'd buy'

I like it in the blue and the green. While I love the whole idea, the faces could maybe use a little work though. If you take offense to this, I think you are taking life a bit too seriously. The nautical theme is great, anyone notic the skulls and discarded scuba equipment? It's because they are sirens! Oh well...

I like the kelpie version best. I think you need to revisit bubbles' face though, it looks squashed.

Thanks AirunJae.

And the definition of a Siren, for anyone thats still not quite gettin it.

what the heck is wrong with you

I like the subtle skulls at the bottom of the design.

not exactly a fan of the sex on a shirt, or anime in general

Weird...

I like it.
Its bold.
However Bubbles's face needs some serious work. Its ill proportioned and not up to the standards of her sisters.
It needs work but its a great design. I think it would look best on the green that Kelpie is in or the Purple of Coral.

YOU HOMEWRECKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol

As a girl I would not wear this. Why would I wear this? You use 'it's the way life is' as an excuse, and okay, maybe the illustration is not *that*... perverted? but still, this wouldn't go on a shirt. If you want life on a shirt things could get a little nasty.

The most you're gonna see on a mermaid stripper is naked breasts, and that one is already only wearing starfish. It doesn't seem like they could put on enough of a show to lure sailors to their death. Maybe if they were the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom.

I like the concept, but don't care for the hentai/anime style. I guess I'm in agreement with those who said they would prefer a "pin-up" style (think Vargas or Olivia). I think that might help make it less sleazy/creepy and more acceptably erotic.

The art work is great though. I might or might not wear it, but it would make an awesome poster.

The artwork is very well done. Most of the kids on this site are too conservative to handle anything like this. I can't say that I'd wear it, but, as I said, the artwork is well done. Plus, I love boobs. Those aren't fake, they've just been preserved by their boyancy.

I think I spelled buoyancy wrong.

boyuancuy

I like it and the design is nice but would I personally wear it? Probably not although I will vote for the sake of your efforts and for others who want the t-shirt.

You know, it took me a while to realize that I was typing that on the design comment itself, and not a blog. I think I have problems...

i agree with what some one said above, the faces just don't seam right.

My favorite thing is the dead skuba skull on the left, I would buy a shirt just based around that

You know that there isn't a chance in hell of this getting printed.
Kudos to you for submitting it anyway.

I love DaddyDom.

wow, you removed the red cross from the hat. Way to make it your own creation.

I love it.
I am a girl.
I would put awesome mermaid strippers on my rack.

no anime EVER


EVER

It looks like you spent a long time on this, but i tink this would be awkward for girls to were, but i think it would be an ok guys shirt... i dont really know...

kinda perv....
bad anime

I don't see how you can say that this isn't a direct rip off of Hook Ups. You realized that you are claiming you just "Studied" and used them as a "Template" but, they are in the same poses and look basically the same.
If the faces are the same, and they are in the same pose but you just tured them into mermaids, that's still S-T-E-A-L-I-N-G someone's art. You didn't create these characters.
....zero dude. I'm pretty disappointed.

Demeans women.

Okay jpiatt - fair enough, but at least reconsider your score based on the idea alone... i plan to redo this at some stage, with all my own, original artwork, as i think the idea itself is sound.

Having you say your disappointed is worse than you saying your angry...

that sould be 2 *you're* up there...

And that should be should - jeez
