Great illustration! I would probly prefer to not have the burst in the background and have the illustration bigger on the shirt. Great work regardless.

it's great!

except I don't really like the hot machine's first punching arm... I think you only need the punching part and not the before-punching part... if you know what I mean.

love it. agree about not needing the "ghost" arm- the motion lines are plenty to show the movement

No ghosted arm huh? Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't sure if the image was dynamic enough,

Cool design. Very Japanese feel. I want to know how you got this design up within 3 hours of subbing it? :-( I hate waiting.
colt83
   colt83 on May 24 '07
I didn't get this design up that quickly. On average it takes about a couple days. Maybe you're confused fatheed. Thanks for your comments though.
fatheed
   fatheed on May 24 '07
I am confused. It's just it says you subbed it 3 hours ago in the blog. It matters not! I hope it scores well!

Hey, fatheed, you're right! Well, I think the blog means that Threadless put up my design four hours ago. The truth is, I submitted the design a couple days ago. Thanks for looking out.

Good luck on any submiussions you might be sending in.

Not wild about the star burst, but love the illustration.

Great style.

Love it, but I agree with others - the ghost arm is distracting.

This illo would deserve to be bigger on the tee! Also, not sure about the star on the back but heck, this is totally worth printing anyway! 5$ please!

I prefer the illustration the size you have it (I am small person; do not need huge pictures, thx.) Love the half-tone, and the concept is great. $5

I like how the cord is sticking out of the back of Cold. Looks like they were in a cafeteria or something, and had to unplug themselves for a rumble. Nice! $4

Thanks for the compliments guys and also for the suggestions. Usually you guys are dead on about what needs fixing.

This really just feels like an Eclipse! rehash.
colt83
   colt83 on May 27 '07
ABigshARk, I understand where you're coming from and I admit it does look similar. On my behalf, it's just a coincidence and the idea behind the image is different. Thanks for the input though.

colt83: like what the other said.. make the hotie coldie fighter much bigger! :) but i defintly love this illustration... love the idea.. Great! $5 and buy! keep it up! :)
colt83
   colt83 on May 27 '07
Thank you so much guys. I made ALL the changes that everyone suggested: ditch the starblast background, removed ghost arm, made figures much larger. It looks so much better. Check out the revision at www.tragicsunshine.co.nr

yeah!leave the burst!!!!

great illustration.5
colt83
   colt83 on May 28 '07
Sorry, JELLYTANK, most people ask that I remove the burst. I think I'd have to agree with them. Thanks for the support though.

I like the ghost arm. And the burst.
colt83
   colt83 on May 28 '07
WORLD!!! You're tearing me apart! Should I leave the ghost arm and burst or remove it? I don't know! Tell me what to do! (imagine me in a fetal position on the ground, sobbing)
HawaiiJunkie
HawaiiJunkie on May 29 '07
awesome though it reminds me of the eclipse shirt of the moon beating the sun. But i would still buy it!!
Degazio

Is it an inside joke?..
KHowe101
KHowe101 on May 29 '07
Ok, the ghost arm is a little off. I like the size of the illustration on the shirt, but would perhaps make the machines larger in relation to the burst, or remove the burst and upsize the machines to compensate. Otherwise it is pretty cool.
KHowe101
KHowe101 on May 29 '07
Especially on the girly t's, any larger and the illustration wouldn't be as effective
Ped101
Ped101 on May 29 '07
Hey, i have seen the same idea on a printed shirt.... the Eclipse one
colt83
   colt83 on May 29 '07
The idea is different, it's the image that is similar.
deaner
deaner on May 29 '07
Hate to beat a dead horse, but... eclipse already did this idea well.
colt83
   colt83 on May 30 '07
I'm really sorry. It was an accident.
bsweber
   bsweber on May 31 '07
i still think this design is sufficiently different from eclipse--stylistically and compositionally (and seriously, its not like the idea was that original to eclipse anyway----two opposites punching each other?).



i think this design is rather nice, and deserves the good score it received.
