I did a couple of colour options but it was too cramped to include them all on the page click here other colours to see the pale blue and ash version.

d3d on Jul 18 '07

they're pretty cute

sooty on Jul 18 '07

damn it! someone has always done something similar, I searched under all mermaid submissions to check no one had done it too. curses! hopefully the style is different enough. sorry about the link, don't know what's wrong with it, try pasting this:

they aren't that different, just an ash and pale blue option. thanks for your nice comments so far.

beesneak on Jul 18 '07

I think the styles are so different that it doesn't really matter. Great Minds think alike:)

Mrs S on Jul 18 '07

Love it!!

Chris Carney on Jul 18 '07

I don't think it really matters whats gone before. All designs be they good or bad are very individual

siboyd on Jul 18 '07

It's like an oily, fishy dream I once had about Daryl Hannah circa Splash.

illeagle on Jul 18 '07

I like it a lot... the only thing I would like better is the image on the shirt being slightly tilted like you have the detail on the left tilted.

SEVEN-HUNDRED on Jul 18 '07

Nice design

Links never seen to work in the description/1st comment, i normally just post them in the comments when the design is through pending.

Jemae on Jul 18 '07

great! awesome illustration! i like it! 5$! :)

sooty on Jul 18 '07

thanks for the tip, I didn't think it would work but I'm not very techi, I had to get a friend to help.

it is better slightly tilted like the main image, that's what I intended it to be like on the t, it just doesn't show up so well on such a small visual of it.

xanathema on Jul 18 '07

Great design, I think I prefer it in the pale blue. $5ed.

HippieChica15 on Jul 18 '07

I actually like this one better than the similar design. gets the sardines reference across better when they're lined up than one mermaid peeking out, in my opinion. and I like the monochrome

Raid71 on Jul 18 '07

Rosemoo on Jul 18 '07

This one is better than that other sub anyway. I like the pale blue version best!

lmdmu01 on Jul 18 '07

Great work. I also think it works best on the pale blue.

make_limonada on Jul 18 '07

pale blue! $4!!!

freddy machete on Jul 18 '07

veeeeery nice.

RookAscendant on Jul 18 '07

Love it 5!

mezo on Jul 18 '07

Great illustration work- especially on the 3D look of the top of the tin. To have the drawing be more visually interesting, you should move the roll of the tin away from the direct center. I'd suggest it going more towards the left, thus having more of the MERMAIDS word showing. It bothers me that all you see is the MAIDS part. 4

Drysmoke on Jul 18 '07

yes 4

xanthophiliac on Jul 18 '07

Very cute design and concept, and I love the mix of the cartoon-ish style with the subtle 3D effect/shadow. In terms of colours, I really like the sagestone colour up there -- a nice subtle colour that has a sea feel to it without being the usual blue for water stuff. $5.

sooty on Jul 19 '07

I did try the rolled lid on more of an angle but to reveal more of the word it makes it cover up the end mermaid so I changed it back. I think it's fairly obvious what the rest of the word 'maids' would say, given the visual.

herky on Jul 19 '07

great illustration and colors, I love the water droplets in the bottom of the can.

MeLa de Gypsie on Jul 19 '07

I think this is a nice idea...

victorctk on Jul 19 '07

:D i like it!!

xera29 on Jul 19 '07

print this!!

Mike_115 on Jul 19 '07

I like this better than the other. 5

cityauctor on Jul 19 '07

lol they're awesome. gorgeous, non-slutty mermaids in a tin. i'm not sure how you pulled it off but well done.

snarks on Jul 20 '07

AWESOME

i want this shirt so badly. 5$

FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 20 '07

Yummy sea sluts. Nice work.

bad_nobe on Jul 20 '07

i did one before.but yours is totally different style!this is great!

sooty on Jul 20 '07

thanks

holynazi on Jul 20 '07

cute. i like cleavage

ivywillow on Jul 20 '07

I love both of them, but the detail I love on yours is that the can says "mermaids" That is awesome.

Jennyliz on Jul 22 '07

Awesome.

Z3R-0 on Jul 22 '07

LOL this is awesome!! $5

gesteira on Jul 22 '07

Uauuuuu!!!!!!!!!
Very Nice!

shked_e on Jul 23 '07

great idea!

Marvind3 on Jul 23 '07

its a good idea , but you cannot see the design !

sooty on Jul 23 '07

the design is the big one on the left. I know the bottom one is hard to see but that's just for an idea of the placement.

Luke... on Jul 23 '07

nice water drops

cabell3 on Jul 23 '07

I like it better than the other mermaid sardine design anyway. I'd like to see it on a bright blue or green instead of a washed out color, though.

Spam69 on Jul 23 '07

You'll be pleased to know I'm not going to give you a hard time this sub. Excellent.

zdenka_bby on Jul 23 '07

i love this

Hippopotamus on Jul 23 '07

I like this idea better than the other one that there is a link to because this one is clear mermaids are in the tin to be eaten while the other one just has a mermaid lying in it. Though I think the mermaids need to be a different colour so that they stand out from the tin more.

melmmo on Jul 23 '07

Love it, but one teensy thing: Where it says "Best before end: See end of can" Shouldn't it be "Best before date"? Small detail, I know, but it's things like that that ruin it for me.

truemidge on Jul 23 '07

I love this! Don't really like the idea of anyone packing mermaids up for consumption, but they're so sweet that no one could possibly eat them. Just in case, send me your models and I promise to give them a home free of harm. $5.

Vindemiatrix on Jul 23 '07

I don't think it's certain they're for eating - it could just be that they get stroppy after a certain date! ;)

And "Best before end" is fine, I see that on lots of products.
