Bring it on...

I love the composition and the overall design, but if I didn't know it was for the eagle vs. shark competition, I wouldn't know it was necessarily supposed to be romantic in nature.. does threadless print designs independent of the competition if it's submitted for a competition but doesn't win? hmmmmm...

I don't get what the "string" concept is all about.
compelling artwork, really like the fan
I wonder if a slightly bigger balloon would be better?

i like this

i don't know what it has to do with the competition. but i like it.

maybe... maybe the balloon and the fan are in love?... maybe?

Yup

This is a really good T and I'm giving it a 4 but I'm with everyone else about the Eagle vs Shark thing, not sure it fits.

I love this! Awesome artwork. Very retro feel. So well done. Excellent work! A++ for you.

Beautifully done. I'm not sure it needs the word string or maybe I just don't get its purpose. I would like it as is, but with just the string illustrated, not spelling itself out. I honestly don't know whether it fits eagle vs. shark or not, but lose the word string and I think it could stand on its own in the general category. I'd give it a 5 if that were the case. Giving this one a 4, kudos mainly for style and execution.

Wait a minute. The balloon's over the heart.
...heartstring? And the fan is pulling on it?
Anyway, if that's your concept, I like it, but it's very very subtle either with or without the word string, so I'd say ditch the word. 4

strings attached? I'm kinda confused.

I've been informed that it's an endless conflict.

New Design should post soon. General comp

It's to honor my fave shirt at threadless.

reminds me of banksy and i love it. very subtle use of that highlight color. Great work,... as what some people have mentioned though i'm not sure if i'm just missing the concept of 'string' or what?

I think it'd look better without the "string" written in there, but jus tthe balloon on he string being blown. IMO anyway.

i looked at the tshirt for 10 minutes strait and i think i got it: the fan and the balloon are in love and the balloon is pulling the fan's
heartstrings

i think string gets in the way

idk why people cant use their imagination for the word "string"
the fan is... tugging at the balloon's heartstrings?
the fan is... stringing the balloon along?

etc.
I like it, and if it doesnt get printed, I hope you keep designing
