I would definitely love to see this up close. I do not however like the shape of the water...I think it's almost distracting.
justabean
justabean on Jun 21 '07
this is seriously a nice idea, though i agree the background shape is a little weird.
viralVISUAL
   viralVISUAL on Jun 21 '07
Really not much clearer on your site, but I like the idea.

Would really like a better look at how it was done though.

catalina_s on Jun 21 '07
wow. i like the penguin that sticks up as that little piece of antarctica that you always see on a map with this perspective. i disagree about the water shape; i like it and an oval would have been boring. beautiful!

an even bigger version than what's currently on your site might be helpful...

Talking To The Ground on Jun 21 '07
lose the background, or change it... but other then that you got a killer design/idea!
Rock on!

javolimte on Jun 21 '07
it looks like those ecko shirts except those are all rhinos... i like it tho the background is a little distracting
quovadis
quovadis on Jun 21 '07
Just make the whole shirt that blue color. Otherwise it is awesome!
madruga
madruga on Jun 21 '07
AWESOME!!!!!! THIS IF F*%@#$!&ING COOL!!!!!
PRINT THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...

Whew! *recovering*
That's a pity the "larger" pic in your site is also so small.
And the background is nice!

Just a question: is that an hippo making most of Brazilian coast? I can't see it clearly...
MooCowMoo
MooCowMoo on Jun 21 '07
^ Agreed with quovadis, make the entire shirt blue.
It's awesome.
Gnomes4life
Gnomes4life on Jun 21 '07
ahhh thats so cool!!!
yea lose the square and its all good
Utahbeach
Utahbeach on Jun 21 '07
It's hard to see, but are all the animals geographically correct? I'm thinking they are since I see a polar bear in Canada and a panda bear in the Far East. I hope it is like that throughout.
Alexandra Marie
Alexandra Marie on Jun 21 '07
Remove that huge blue thing and this would be wonderful.
paaron46
paaron46 on Jun 21 '07
You could totally take out the background shape and it'd look fine. just put it on a blue shirt so it looks like an ocean.
MollyE
MollyE on Jun 21 '07
yeah but it on a blue shirt and id buy it!
thebaddestrobot
thebaddestrobot on Jun 21 '07
Awesome, but the blue shape is distracting.

hellofromthemoon
hellofromthemoon on Jun 21 '07
how about no background shape on a blue t-shirt?
Bowtie
Bowtie on Jun 21 '07
get rid of the blue.

This is awsome, I saw a wood carving like this once before (animals making up the landmasses of the globe).

Without the blue 5$. So take it out and re-sub PLZ! I love the rest.
travioli
travioli on Jun 21 '07
Loose the water and provide a zoom function. You should think about resubbing this. 3 for now.

What animals make up NZ?

Probab't weird furry one's :)

I need a detail to score this although I'm feeling a 4/5 coming on!
GoldenWasp
GoldenWasp on Jun 21 '07
Yeah, definitely get rid of the box...It's a great idea though
opifan64
   opifan64 on Jun 21 '07
love it... except for the background water shape. still a 4
junex
junex on Jun 21 '07
is it the monkey-eating-eagle for the philppines?
whatarebirds
whatarebirds on Jun 21 '07
Yeah lose the background shape and just have it plain on the shirt... maybe different colours for the continents? Otherwise, kickarse.
tommybeans
tommybeans on Jun 21 '07
wow.....how can u do??? is cool
rcatron
   rcatron on Jun 21 '07
My wife also hates the blue background. I have should have listened.

A larger version is available at: http://richardcatron.com/beastly%20kingdom.htm

NZ is made of a kiwi and a kakapo
the Brazilian coast is a tapir
and I used a flying lizard for the Philippines

I hope the new link can answer any future questions.

Thanks for the criticisms! They were constructive.

booboo135
booboo135 on Jun 22 '07
just make the shirt that blue color and remove the shape thingy then itd be really cool. id buy it just to get a close up look at it because i can tell that the art is done well.
BrandonB11
BrandonB11 on Jun 22 '07
need to work on that background... but the actual animals are great... 5
fatboyjim
fatboyjim on Jun 22 '07
think the image is brilliant, remove the water and place on light blue tee $5
madruga
madruga on Jun 22 '07
Oh! Now I can fully appreciate this. It's really a masterpiece!
I *still* like the background, but I guess I'm outnumbered here... =P
RichBarber
RichBarber on Jun 22 '07
I like the water shape, gives a bit of depth/perspective, but I do agree it's a bit blatent against the creamy shirt.

Lovely design though, love the way you've got the animals in about the right areas of the globe.
doomsdayblaze
doomsdayblaze on Jun 22 '07
Better background, better define the individual animals with clear outlines, and I think you're SET.
Digdag88
Digdag88 on Jun 22 '07
why don't you just put it on a blue shirt?
Chipstick
Chipstick on Jun 22 '07
Excellent design but the teeshirt colour is weak and doesn't bring up the design. The blue sea is unnecessary. Much more effective if the design was on a strong-coloured tee, minus the sea. Then I would definitely buy it.
emilyclyne
emilyclyne on Jun 22 '07
great job. looks like it took A LOT of work. I agree with getting rid of the box, otherwise its awesome
clairemhe
clairemhe on Jun 22 '07

alinka
alinka on Jun 22 '07
simply amazing!
idance electric
idance electric on Jun 22 '07
awesome but there is no Tasmania!! Its like youve cut of Australia's foot!!!!!!

Its fantastic tho, very clever, I do agree with the no background. but Id like it on a white shirt still, just black and white. That might just be me.

top points!
powerplay
powerplay on Jun 22 '07
Putting this on a blue shirt would be a good idea, but it needs to be the right shade of blue. I really don't see a whole lot wrong with the shape you have on it now. I would buy this shirt iin a heart beat! $5
maddog55
maddog55 on Jun 23 '07
I love it, very original to me
vkersten3
vkersten3 on Jun 23 '07
lose the water and put it on a pale blue shirt. That would be awesome.
NothingbutMatt
NothingbutMatt on Jun 23 '07
Wow...just...wow. I really hope the minor issue with the background (which pales in comparison to the awesomeness of the actual design) doesn't stop this from getting printed.

Oh...and yeah seconded on Tasmania being included :)
glauke
glauke on Jun 23 '07
Absolutely an amazing design!!

I'm still not convinced that you should loose the background ... allthough maybe on a T-shirt the print would look better without it.

Definitely a 5$
jencatro
jencatro on Jun 23 '07
I watched this design develop from its inception and was blown away! I sacrificed all artistic talent so you could have tons of it!
ac1427
ac1427 on Jun 23 '07
I love the tshirt and I love the blue background. I'd buy it $6
jaz999
jaz999 on Jun 23 '07
I like the idea a lot but you hafta fit antarctica in there somewhere and that water has to have another shape...
xiv
   xiv on Jun 23 '07
definitely re-work a few things and resubmit.

remove the blue background, and place the illustration on a blue shirt. maybe use a few different colors for the line work... greens and a brown.
Sodacap_bum
Sodacap_bum on Jun 23 '07
awesome sub, but i dont very much like the water either. otherwise, $5
vocedangelo
vocedangelo on Jun 23 '07
Lose the blue in the background. Otherwise FANTASTIC.
joshinator
joshinator on Jun 23 '07
love the design but the shirt color should be different.

love this design, put it on a blue shirt and I'll love it more 5$
lylith
lylith on Jun 24 '07
Fantastic concept and artwork! Horrible colors.
Wdstick
Wdstick on Jun 24 '07
not keen on the white t-shirt. possibly dark blue.
Stritch84
Stritch84 on Jun 24 '07
I wish you had zoom with this. It is very detailed. Not my style but I am giving it 5 because it looks great.
mightymouse1584
mightymouse1584 on Jun 24 '07
i agree with the comments above. very cool design however and the background is not enough for me to give you anything less than a 5. put it on the blue shirt and id buy this
AlinaT
AlinaT on Jun 24 '07
fantastic! just print this already!
Jebs
   Jebs on Jun 25 '07
The drawing is AMAZING, really...but the background, and the color you choose for the tee shirt, are both bad...so? i agree with others, resubmit it with a zomm fonction, and first of all, reworking the colors, and leaving this background that would be horrible on a tee...you should do that, because the drawing deserve a lot better than thaT . (i guess it could even be printed with all thoses modifictaions)
Julie Jerks
Julie Jerks on Jun 25 '07
The colors are very bland, otherwise, it'd be jutht thuper.
criz
criz on Jun 25 '07
I like this very much. Not fond of the shype of the (blue) background, though, is it supposed to be the earth rolled out...?
N2O
N2O on Jun 25 '07
Lots of great stuff on your website. Amazing talent.
wempu
wempu on Jun 25 '07
MAN THIS IS GREAT! I love it! Just PLEASE get rid of the water, it look terrible and give us more colour options (maybe the whole shirt could be blue and only the design on white?). 5 $ because i trust that if (or WHEN :D) this gets printed all those things that i (and others) have said will be done :)

Oh lord, let this design win 'cos i've never wanted any t-shirt more than this!
horakhty
horakhty on Jun 25 '07
I'm another vote for 86ing the water on this. The picture itself is too good for the big blue rectangle of water.

AbstractAngel
AbstractAngel on Jun 25 '07
I LOVE the design. HATE the water.
obiwankatie
obiwankatie on Jun 25 '07
I LOVE CUTE ANIMALS! but, like everyone else, change the water. it takes away from the amazing animals!!
sketchyblueeyes
sketchyblueeyes on Jun 26 '07
not on white, white is ew-y
Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell on Jun 26 '07
The water shape is terrible as everyone else has said. The drawing is very good though. Work on slightly adding some colours and get rid of that atrocious shape that represents water and I think you're on your way.
hokiepokie
hokiepokie on Jun 26 '07
i agree that the water thing is super-annoying.
Huntras
Huntras on Jun 26 '07
LOVE the animals!
Very cool shirt. Artistic and educational!

But, I'd buy it without the shape behind it.
Without the shape you could put the basic print on any color T-shirt.
Now THAT would be a big seller.
dizzzydance
dizzzydance on Jun 26 '07
i am kind of so in love with this

background or not, this is amazing.
skellig
skellig on Jun 26 '07
i agree with the shirt on blue.
5$!
crafty minx
crafty minx on Jun 27 '07
it will be perfect without the background. also agree with blue shirt idea.
love the detail- can't wait to see it close up!
Tinpop
Tinpop on Jun 27 '07
The blue is a bit distracting, but it wouldn't deter me from buying the shirt. Def. $5
JinMakkto
JinMakkto on Jun 27 '07
Great concept!
JinMakkto
JinMakkto on Jun 27 '07
and I agree, shirt should be on blue
ladykat
ladykat on Jun 27 '07
Awesome continents, but as mentioned before, the water definitely detracts. Would look sweet on a blue shirt.
R'son-W
R'son-W on Jun 27 '07
Eliminate the background, and I would buy this so fast.
NomesMcFly
NomesMcFly on Jun 28 '07
my favovorite thirt that ive seen on threadless by far, the backgrond is fine. i think you need it so the animals/land dont blend into the background. a definate $5. thank you for this wondrful design =] and your drawings on your website are amazing espcially 'reach' and 'jaguar'

could be brilliant... resub this with through the critique section...
curlyfry
curlyfry on Jun 28 '07
I still love this and want to see it printed. There is NOTHING wrong with the water! That's how it would look if a globe was unfolded. I want I want!!!
schleb
schleb on Jun 28 '07
There is no way to "unfold" a globe. It is impossible to make a sphere with a flat surface.

Sorry, just felt like being a jerk. Time to be nice now.

This shirt is really awesome. I would buy it without the background
HappyGenie
HappyGenie on Jun 28 '07
I suggest changing the white color of the shirt into blue, so that we can image the shirt is a huge and unlimited world on which live innumerable animus from north polar to south polar. In addition, the animus design can be enlarged clearly. It will be more wonderful.
