I like to think this one has a lot of levels... different interpretations. And for me it really sums up Awkward Love.

Hmmm weird.

$5 its different thats what I love about it

Is he humping the salt shaker?

its perfect for eagle v. shark. i love the eyes.

It's better to have loved and died than never to have loved that all? It's definitely very cute, but I'm not sure I'd wear it.

.. wait, he's in love with the salt?

when i saw just the picture, i had this mental image of the slug slaving away, cooking to feed her hungry husband... in a huge kitchen, dwarfed by all the pots and pans, and wondering depressedly how her life could have possibly turned out this way. probably her husband is a phycho human who wants a good cook.

and this is hugely random and has nothing whatsoever to do with the submission, so please dont be insulted... : )

Yeah, I think he IS humping that salt shaker....weird. But great! 5

despite the plethora of Octopi designs lately, this is surely the best of them! 5

i don't want a slug banging a salt shaker on my shirt.

Impossible love. Salt is bad for slugs but they still love one other.

i really like the idea and your design style, but i'm not crazy about the slugs position in relation to the salt, maybe if it was peeking over the top of the salt shaker? they style & concept are wonderful though.

I want this so bad. Hopefully the slug doesn't get too close to the salt. $5

bwahahaha!

that won't end well. . . .

I personally wouldn't wear it but I bet alot of people would. Fantastic idea, well executed and fits very well with the theme. Well done :)

I don't get that he's banging the shaker - it looks confusing, like possibly a snail with a salt shaker for a shell, or a slug preparing to commit suicide... I like the style, but the idea doesn't come together for me.

Where the salt shaker meets the slugs body seems weird to me... why can you see part of the shaker through the slug? or is that supposed to be part of the slug through the shaker? Either way, looks sweet... just seems akward right there to me. Wouldn't wear it personally, but sweet idea!

Sluv my mind won't stop saying sluv. But why is his butt transparent instead of green? I really like it otherwise. Well done.

Slugs are transparent... the light shines through the body and onto the salt shaker. The contour of the slugs body refracts the light and distorts the shape... It was a choice. Apparently it's hard to read... I have a copy wherein the slug isn't transparent. But it would be considered a duplicate submission... I'm happy with what's here. "Awkward" and "Strange" and other synonyms are used to describe this piece... so I feel accomplished... one of the key words for the competition is awkward... I like the dialogue it has started as well.

Look for new design called STRING... should post soon...

Nice design. *thumbs up* The slug looks wicked.

HAHAHA, YES!

his expression is Hilarious; $5!

threadless, if this is not printed, i will be very, very sad.

Love it - it's strange but so different I'd definately buy

My first thought was that the Slug was about to commit suicide.

Phal·lic Salt·shak·er- : O

Salt can't love. I don't get it.

Slugs can love?

Oh crap! I got title-pwned. At least our concepts are different, though, right? Hehe, my bad.

...I like the colors =D.

Now that has the potential to be a very unhealthy relationship. At least the slug has an expression appropriate for anyone trying to make love to a salt shaker. Is very nice.

I love your illustration!! It looks awkward. Perfect. Keep up the great work!

would never wear this.

I don't think the salt sits right.
I do however think its a perfect representation of awkward/forbidden love.
Bette than a lot of the other concepts running for this competition.

awww I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE!!!!!!! :( its so weirdly adorable!
