About my design

by Tepenrod
My first submission. The idea basically revolves around an Eagle dressed as a Shark, finding a Shark dressed as an Eagle (their favorite animals). Of course, for all we know, the Eagle thinks he's met another eagle, and vice versa. That could make for one awkward moment later on...



Color options for shirts include Pacific Blue (Displayed on) and I included some darker options that I think might show the girl shark better. Chocolate, Burgundy, and Navy Blue also put up so you can see placement and color options.



Anyway, let me know what you think, comments/criticisms welcome!

love the idea, very clever, good style, only problem is you can barely see the shark inside the eagle suit, i didn know what it was till i read it. make the shark tone maybe a grey. 4 none the less.

the shark's head looks completely detached from where his tail is. it's a great idea but that needs to be fixed.

Far too literal of an interpretation.

There have been other subs that were superior in both concept and execution for this contest.

I'm sorry, it's very cute and I'd probably wear it, but as a contest sub it's too literal and draws directly from movie images, which I think is not what they're looking for.



Still cute, though.

There's a current print that looks almost the same except one is a guy dressed as an alien looking at an alien who happened to be dressed as a girl.

A friend noted that to me when I told her the idea. However, I think the concept and message behind them is very different. The one with the alien girl and boy is more of a reveal that they are one or the other, it was a very "coming clean" sort of mood. I think mine represents more of just two mismatched animals finding love, no matter how awkward that may be.

i wish the shark had an expression as strong as the eagle. i own the alien shirt and i have to admit that it is better than this one

the shark looks as though she's in love, but the eagle looks a little intense. they're cute, though, so i give it some points.



BTW, LOVE your attitude! You will learn so much when you stay that open to feedback! good luck!!

That shark is trange... looks a dolphin.

Moreover, the execution is quite poor. You can do it better!
