About my design

by mckibillo
The squirrel is saying "Dai Pinch!" or "Oh sh*t!" in Japanese.

Why is the squirrel saying that?

I really like the placement, but i think the green text/acorn looks a little off

I really like this design, simple yet eye catching. However the squirrel is tiny in my opinion compared to the hand. Also the styles cross, you have a vectored fairly deatiled arm, yet you have a block filled basic squirrel. Still doesn't bug me much, it's a swish design, with abit of non-sensical humour!

it deffinately looks best on red, and the color of the acorn needs to change its a weird color

so... i'm confused... my fairly limited japanese translates that is 'big pinch'... not oh shit...
mckibillo
mckibillo on Jun 14 '07
yeah, it literally means "big pinch" but that roughly translates as "oh shit"...

I like it, to makes perfect (warped) sense to me.



Acorns are green before they become brown.

The double entendre related to the translation works well. Both in that the hand is pinching the acorn and is big, and i'd also be saying "oh Sh*t" if a giant hand was coming towards me.

I have to disagree with 'NAME._UNKNOWN ' regarding the complexity of the vectored arm compared to the simplicity of the squirrel. To me represents perfectly the complexity of the human life in comparison to the Squirrel's relatively simple life.



Buuut... maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

I like squirrels. The one I'm holding in my avatar would have approximately the same proportions as seen in this sub (he's an American red squirrel, they're the size of chipmunks)



I'd have to say that I don't agree that squirrels lead simple lives in comparison to humans. Quite the opposite. We don't concern ourselves with hiding from hawks who want to eat us, trying to find food, trying to store up enough food to last through the lean months, fighting for territory, etc. They live with so much fear and struggle. We, on the other hand, can easily pick up food at the grocery store at any time, our disputes are minor and generally only verbal, and we don't constantly have to remain vigilant for our lives.



I think we're the ones with simple lives.

Hopefully there are a few options. I really don't like the red one much. Black is.. okay but I personally came to threadless in search of non-black t-shirts I actually liked.

i'd like if the squirrel were a little bigger and maybe a little more detailed. but yeah i would buy it on a cream shirt.

The line work on the hand is great dawg. But there seems to be an inconsistency in style with the other elements dude. The concept is rather confusing, and the color scheme just ain't doin it for me. I think you got potential though dawg, just work on a new concept.

i like it, i think the filled in "silohwet" type squirle is a nice subtle contrast to the detailed hand and i like the letters even if i dont get why its saying that...
