Before you hate this submission, after my first version was in critiques somebody showed me that this concept has been done before. However, since I did come up with it on my own, and far more people loved this design than hated it (its mood is distinctly different than previous subs of the same concept), here it is. I happen to love it, and I hope you do too.
|
 |
I wouldn't say I ~love~ it, but I like it. It made me laugh.
|
|
I love it! :) I'd so wear a t-shirt with this on it $5!
|
 |
ha i like it! 4
|
|
It is great. Painfully funny. Not sure how else to describe it.
|
 |
i like it. it's clever. but, it makes me sad.
|
 |
zipperking on Jul 06 '07 so far this is the only kiwi/kiwi design I like
|
 |
morbidly awesome!
|
 |
the other kiwi design in the running wasn't as good as this one so 3
|
 |

|
 |
PERFECTO!
|

I love this one!!!!!
|
 |
dacat on Jul 06 '07 I haven't seen the other, but this is great!
|
|
I really like how you put the two together!!
|
|
KIWI POWER!!!!
|
 |
The best kiwi joke sshirt yet. Congrats!
|
 |
obvioulsy it is very well done and all... but like i said in the critique it has been done many many times before... even on threadless... and still you went through with the design.... sorry but i cant give a great score to a design that has been done before espceically with the designer knowing that it has been done before:
LOOK: HERE OR HERE OR HERE AGAIN AND HERE AGAIN!!! sorry its not like i didnt already tell u but i think people should know that these ones are out there and that you knew that these were out there because i told u in teh critique |
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 07 '07 If you read my first comment, I explained this already, and I explained why I ended up submitting. I did think of this on my own. I was, in no way, influenced or inspired by the previous submissions. You are free, of course, to give this any score you think this deserves, but please, trying to tell other people what to do is neither fair nor in good spirits.
|
|
im not telling people how to score im just showing everyone the previous designs and letting them decide if it is original enough... i really like this idea and would probably give it a 5 if it was original... but im not... although i still am giving it a fairly average score because it is still a nice looking design with idea
|
 |
It may have been done before but this is the best one I have seen.
|
 |
it's the best execution of this idea so far, so you get a 5 from me.
i look forward to seeing more of your work. |
 |
yeah its deff the best one out of the subs.
4 |
 |
i like it and hate it at the same time!its so sad and funny!
|
 |
I'll have to say it's the best execution I've seen. Very pretty. I get the feeling there's something missing though. I don't know what it is. It just feels too plain. Maybe it's the tee color.
|
 |
this is awesome.
marry me? |
|
this is the best execution of this one. i really like this one. the shadows look a little bit off... but the illustration is very nice.
|
|
creepy...but i like it. Best of your work thus far. 5$
|
 |
eskimokiss on Jul 07 '07 I don't know why you'd waste your time submitting something threadless is clearly not going to print.
Not only has this idea been subbed many times on threadless, there are numerous companies that have printed this before. Threadless will not print a tee already in existance |
 |
:O lolllllllll hahaahaha
|
|
oh and i like this one more than the others. 4
|
 |
yep, I like this one better than the one I saw.
|
 |
I. want. this.
first shirt I've scored that I know for sure I'd buy. |
 |
not original, but what is?
well executed, that's the point 5$ |
|
from all the other designs, similar to this.
This is by-far the best one. |
 |
OUh yeah!!! I love it! Brillant idea and nice design!
|
 |
I want this.
$5. |
 |
the detail is great but it's just to morbid for me... so ill give you a 4
|
 |
I think it's a funny idea (and I knew I'd seen it before because I know one of the people who did an earlier one) , but I think making the bird shaped more like the fruit makes him kind of ugly. Kiwis are adorable.
So I suppose if he was shaped more like the bird I'd be more inclined to vote higher. |
|
well done, but it really creeps me out.
|
 |
Love it, but don't like the shirt color. Royal blue or seafoam makes it perfect. I'd buy in a second if it was seafoam.
|
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 09 '07 i think that if threadless decides to print this (which, according to some people, won't happen but we can hope anyway) they will make the final decision as to which color shirt it goes on.
|
|
Awww... cute and sad. 4.
|
 |
I think Threaless won't print this. If they like this idea, they already print it, since there got few same idea subs before.
|
|
I re-state that this is the best version of this joke i have ever seen. and if Threadless printed a war and peas joke tee that has done a million times before, they can print this.
|
|
This certainly is the best of the kiwi submissions. I think the time is right to print this! $5
|
|
i love this shirt!! i want it so badly! love kiwis :-) $5
|
 |
I love this.
|
 |
i like this one better than all of the other kiwi designs, so ima give it a 4. i think that brandon is kind of a debbie downer up there, but to each his own i suppose...
i would like it if the face was a bit more expressive tho :) |
|
absolutly love this design...amazing.
|
 |
do you know a girl named jill? she had this exact design in her notebook that she said she was workin on with one of her guy friends. i saw the sketch over 7 months ago. not tryin to say you took the idea, its a great idea, and anyone could have come up with it, just curious. peace
|
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 09 '07 no, sorry. i don't know anybody named jill.
|
 |
Great! Good way to incorporate the "fur" of the bird as the "fur" of the fruit!
|
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 09 '07 thanks, dave. in the entire design i was really going for the ambiguity of the creature, that he can be interpreted as a bird with a fruit inside OR as a fruit with bird features.
|
 |
this made me chuckle. good show.
|
 |
Hey man, your illustration is the best compared to the others. It does suck when you find out an idea you have developed and put alot of work into is already out there but if its been done its been done. I think threadless is going for original and unique artwork, having said that, if you feel really strongly that the previous designs just weren't up to scratch then I say go for it. There are lots of great ideas that have been poorly executed on this site. Maybe people with good ideas but poor skills should be teaming up with good artists. Whatever, I duno. I just finsihed doing a kiwi submission too but not like this.
|
|
I also like that you decaptitaed the kiwi but it still looks like its alive somehow, like it has god-like powers and you can't kill it no matter what you do coz it hasn't got any functioning organs...rant rant rant...
|
 |
Amazing work! It looks fantastic; and a must-buy!
FIVE DOLLARS! =D |
 |
poor kiwi
|
 |
best kiwi hands down!
5 |
 |
Art does not always sit well with people, but this is also what makes it so good. No matter what this gets in the end, it rocks. $5
|
 |
Awesome! Love the idea. I don't know that I would wear it on a shirt though.
|
 |
i guess i would like it more if maybe his butt was lopped off, but his head?
try the butt lopping, you never know! 4 |
|
someone should make a kiwi on one side, and a wiki on the other... This is too violent for my tastes, although it's funny i wouldn't wear it.
|
|
It makes me sad.
|
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 11 '07 wow... i'm sorry this makes you all sad.... although if this creature actually existed, and kiwifruit was on the inside, you bet people would do just this to get the fruit out. this happens to other birds that we consume (chickens and turkeys).
|
 |
so cool, I'd buy it! $5
|
|
maybe so but we don't wear headless chickens on our shirts...
|
|
that's why this one is a joke and nobody has subbed a headless chicken! ;-)
|
|
Great design.
|
 |
just because it's not original doesn't mean it shouldn't be submitted if it's better. since none of them have been printed, then it's perfectly fine for this this to be submitted. I like it a lot! I think that the score should be based on the design and not on the originality.
|
|
This is so hilarious, and it's the first design that's made me laugh out loud. The execution is MUCH better than the other kiwis, so whether he thought of the idea on his own doesn't matter to me. The look on the kiwis face is priceless.
|
 |
Kiwi to the core! Someone down south should be happy. Yeah, the pun has been done before, but so have hearts, unicorns, fairies, monsters,robots etc. Showing the list of previous submissions actually made me think better of this one. Come to think of it...the shadows are kinda funny. Did you try some variations on that?
|
|
woot! 5$
|
|
so freakin' aweseome!! $5... yes, there were other "similar" submissions.. but this one is *much* better... (by far!)
|
|
I'm not sure it's any better than the others (with the exception of the last link- yeek).
I'm not digging the one big foot/one tiny foot, (no, it doesn't look like perspective) or the shadow that doesn't fit the shape at all. it's okay to submit an idea somebody else already had, but it's not worth repeating unless you can really improve on it. |
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 12 '07 well, blandford.... forgive me, but you seem to be in the minority here. of course you are entitled to your opinion, and entitled to voice it here.... but as i said, many more people seem to like it than dislike it and think it is an improvement, judging from the above 75 or so comments. if it is printed, it will make more people happy than angry, and nobody is going to force you to purchase it! cheers! :-)
|
 |
o my
|
|
this is better than the other kiwi submissions
|
 |
finally submitted it =] much better than all the other ones mentioned anyways.
|
 |
I just voted $5 for it-- I've never seen such a great kiwi shirt-
it works perfectly |
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 13 '07 thanks so much for all the votes and kind comments, everybody! 2.68 is pretty good. now all we can do is keep our fingers crossed for a print!
|
 |
we seem to bet getting a crap load of kiwi kiwi shirts
|
|
if you notice... every other kiwi design got a high score as well
|
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 13 '07 yes, but this (if you notice) did score the highest of the lot!
|
|
WhitneyBeth on Jul 13 '07 even after the others killed its originality. that is saying something.

WhitneyBeth on Oct 16 '07 thanks guys... but i think it's probably past the chance of it getting printed. i hope to get another score this good someday!
|
 |
I was thinking of doing the same design! Good thing I noticed this before I put any real work into it. :)
I like yours better than I would have liked mine, anyway. ;) |
