About my design

by WanderingBert   
For the Eagle Vs Shark loves competition



The whole idea of stealing a heart isn't a new one, but it hasn't been done like this. The safe, where the heart once was is conveniently placed over the heart on the shirt.



There are a bunch of options that could be done to this. The cop could be on the back as well, or the robbers and the cop could all be on the front.



Looks best on grey, natural, or light blue. (links to colour variations and bigger image on my profile).



Uses 5 colours plus the shirt colour.

it is a nice concept, and i like the drawing style. YAY for you!

This is one of the best heart designs I've seen! The concept is totally unique, and the characters are great.

The only problem I have is that the picture on the back is so high up, it would get covered by anyone who doesn't have short hair, but I'm sure it could easily be moved lower.

Awesome :)

I agree that the picture on the back should be moved down. Great concept!

I like it best on natural or light blue.

Thanks all, the placement of the image on the back is no problem. I put it where it is now, because of the fact that the model's neck was leaning forward a bit, but it could be easily shifted :)

Oh I get it! The two thieves want to love each-other but the law doesn't think that's acceptable, so they have to do it illegally.



Just kidding. Its really cool and great concept.

The concept is very very good. The drawing of the robbers on the back is much nicer than the safe on the front. And the safe on the front would actually be pretty good too if it didn't have the "explosion" or whatever that is supposed to be.

If the robbers have already gone in and got the heart, I don't think the explosion would still be there.
WanderingBert
   WanderingBert on Jun 20 '07
That's not the explosion, it's the left over signs that there was an explosion. If it were the explosion it wouldn't have been grey and blue. Or maybe 'the Cowell ' needs to get his eyes checked :)

i really like it



i cant decide if it would look better with the cop on the back or to keep it on the front...

This shirt is made of incredible things. Sorry to always gush praise all over Wandering Bert's work, but I can't help it when he produces such impressive designs and actually makes me want a heart tee very badly since my only other heart tees, "Follow It" and "missing Piece." 5$

I usually dread heart tees but this is great!

supaemma on Jun 21 '07
i love it!



this is the first tee in a few that i've scored that i would buy. but i have to admit i didn't realise it was a safe straight away. was that just me? anyway, really fantastic job, 5!

crowbar should be closer and the robbers should be rounding the side of the shirt but otherwise $5 i would totally buy this

So it's not the explosion. It's the "left over signs that there was an explosion"? Hmm....and they just happen to be in the shape of a cartoon explosion? I'm sure I'm not the only one who is confused by this. Shouldn't it look more like residue then?
anneifer
anneifer on Jun 21 '07
I love this but maybe put cop and robbers on back... and the crowbar... but i still ADORE this one! Excellent job!

I would move the cop to the back of the shirt, and make him casing the robbers, and maybe lose the crow bar

I really like it. My only issue is that you need to see both sides together for it to work. Would it be better without the policeman chasing? If the robbers are on the back, have they already got away? Maybe just some police tape?



Good job though

I agree with the general consensus that the concept is an excellent one but think a few changes would make it better. For a start, am I the only one who thinks that the guys in the masks look a bit too similar to negative racial stereotypes. They look like they've walked off the black and white minstrel show.

^haha I was waiting for someone to make that dumb statement. Thanks for that, Spam69. You could make a drinking game out of the comments left on this site. Clever design wanderingbert.

Aww. So cute! And a nicely original take on the concept. One of the few heart shirts I really like.
Miffsible
Miffsible on Jun 21 '07
I kinda agree with the point that you need to see both sides for it to work..

..instead, could you have the cop where he is, top left on the front, and the burglars bottom right on the front too?
WanderingBert
   WanderingBert on Jun 21 '07
They could be put anywhere. I did want to try and have the subtle reference to the heart on the front with an opened safe (that's why it's over the heart area) but it might not be obvious enough. They can be put anywhere though.



Thanks for the comments!

cold collards says that my statement was dumb but that he was expecting someone to make it, which means that it occurred to him as well. So by dumb he means overly politically correct and sensitive. Which is fine but if it occurred to us then it will occur to others and I'm sure WanderingBert wants to make this design accessible to everyone, not just to hicks from his local KKK-Mart. There are people in the world who are sensitive to those old images with good reason and we all need to aware of that. For the record I'm not saying that this designer or his design is racist only that it could be misconstrued.

   WanderingBert on Jun 21 '07
fair enough spam69, even though I can't really see the problem considering they have white hands and necks.

Actually I love the placement just like that. Its obvious to me and I think I'd be obvious to most people as well.

very clever desgin. Dont go or the white one though, either of the others are nice.

It also took me a minute to see it was a safe. I think it needs the standard square safe body, with that door open on the front.

And yes, the guys on the back need to be lower. Great design though.

Love the design.

rainbowdust on Jun 23 '07
I think I'd like to see the guys on the front, just because most people don't look at your back so the concept would be totally lost.

Oh I like the concept very much! I will definitely buy this.. $5

Cold Collards on Jun 24 '07
Sorry 'bout that spam69, don't think you're stupid, just having a little fun. I think much of what we see outside ourselves is how we feel about ourselves. He only had five colors in the design, folks. He could have easily put white masks on black figures. Nothing would have been said about that, I'm sure. High 5, subby!

man, if i wore this around any educated minorities, they'd be pissed.



I'm sure it wasn't intentional. But that doesn't change the fact that they look like what they look like.

Yeah, I'd like it all on the front but very nice.

Jack-Ay on Jun 25 '07
I love this but I think the placement or sizing of the policeman is distracting, I'd like to see him past the flashlight if he's going to be this size. Good work though!
chellerbel
chellerbel on Jun 26 '07
I think this shirt is great! Maybe position the safe so that it's over your actual heart (more in the center of the chest)? I don't know if that's really too important, but it's just a thought.
