About my design
by denji
My first design.

Thanks ppl.

The art is good, but the koi thing is kind of overdone. And if that yellow thing in the corner is a logo or something like that, people hate logos. I'd try a new concept, the art skills seem to be there, but try something that's a little different. Congratulations on your first sub!

That's not a logo, but a Japanese vintage stamp. Thanks for the comment anyway.

The shirt make me want to gasp and yawn at the same time. The art is increadable, but the shirt is a little boring, you need a better concept. Again, you have the skill as an artist, which is by far the most important thing, you just need a better idea.

Also get rid of the little triangle of flesh next to the eye; people have that, fish don't.

enough with the fucking koi

agree with staffell. i keep seeing designs of kois made of leaves, or kois with leaves and shit around them. i don't get it. explain it to me and then stop making them.

I like koi fishes no matter how many times i see them. The fins look a little weird to me though. 4

You're all too harsh.

It's awesome work.
If they want it on a shirt, let them print it on a shirt.
jeez.

Don't be bothered by the children. Their mothers never taught them manners, by the looks of it. I quite like the placement of the koi and love to draw them myself. On one hand I like the naive style, but on the other I find the fin pose seems unnatural -perhaps if they pointed backwards and down. Otherwise I think it's fairly true to the koi representation in japanese literature. Great work!

It looks exactly like a tattoo i saw on an episode of Miami Ink.
hm.

denji on Jun 28 '07
Thanks ppl for the encouragement.
I love watching Miami Ink and i respect their amazing talents, but mine is more on Japanese vintage style. :)

its to simplistic if it was a little more colorful and detailed I would have liked it better but I love koi fish! so 5

I'd wear it. Sure you see Koi on paintings and tatoos, but not so often on shirts... I think it's gorgeous in monocolor as well!

I would like some coulour... the design is good, but something about the fis looks not quite right... they almost seem hard.

i'm probably repeating people, but...
the art on this is incredible. i like the emotion/humanity of the fishes eyes. i guess i just wish it showed more, like i understand something more of the fish, with it not just being an interesting thing to look at

I love the blue on white, but yeah...the pectoral fins are tad off. Never too much koi in the world though, happy lil' fish :) Congrats on your first submission, it's nice.

"people hate logos"? You learn something new every day.

i could see this being sold in tattoo parlors because it resembles the art so much, plus kois are totally awesome fare in that crowd. its a great first try to kudos to you. keep on going this way!
sarahtomic
sarahtomic on Jul 03 '07
Loverly! I sure hope kois are never overdone, for the sake of all those people with koi tattoos. This is a great alternative (to getting a tattoo) and I would buy it.

It's nice, but as a painting. For a t-shirt, it might be a bit off. Good job, though, good art.
