About my design
by WhitneyBeth   
As the old saying goes.... although I'm not sure it originally applied to argyle. ;-)

I am showing this here with two options for the back of the shirt.

Back #1 shows the clothesline and the fence wrapping all the way around the shirt, with the baby goat (still white and hungry) not having eaten anything off the line.

Back #2 shows the baby goat biting into the tee itself, about to turn lime-colored once he takes his first swallow.

If you have a back option preference (and you want to influence threadless if this gets printed) leave a comment and say which one you want.

I know the details of the design are a bit hard to see, so detail shots can be seen here, on the design critique page. V.13 shows front detail, v.14 shows clothing detail from the front, and v.15 shows detail from back option #1.

Hope you like this! Thanks to everybody in critiques who helped it along!

WhitneyBeth this turned out absolutely beautifully and I also want to compliment you on really listening to all the suggestions when this was in critique. You handled this like a true professional and I think not only will this design prove you to be a true designer but so will the many wonderful future designs of yours that we are all anxious to see :-)

The spots are all over the one goat's face, why isn't the plaid or the argyle all over the other goats' faces? That's my only qualm. Adorable otherwise.

oh this is perfect! sometimes i can never decide if i want to wear argyle, stripes, plaid, polka-dots, etc...so with this shirt i can just wear them all at once

Heh, nice one! This brought a smile to my face because I've been wanting a long haired mountain goat in my backyard for ages. :-)
As for the design, I like the detail you gone to with the washing line and clothes but I find the goats are stuck between being realistic and simplistic... reckon it would be even better if they were more realistic or abstract. A bit of variation of detail on the fence would be cool too. But really, good on ya and good luck!

i really like the idea of the baby goat eating the shirt! maybe you could turn him half tee-coloured? i think it would help with the idea abit. awesome work though. :) 4

This is cute! and it has convinced me to eat more glow-sticks...

   Joelnz on Jul 21 '07
i think this is really good, some shading would give it more depth and make it a bit more punchy though, like maybe if u had put in some shadows down near the feet. the treatment of the grass seems a bit clumpy, but other than that its a pretty decent design :)
thunderpeel
   thunderpeel on Jul 21 '07
i love the idea of the second back, with the fence graphic wrapping all the way around. also, i think it would help if the you could vary the line weight a little, perhaps make the outline of the goats at least darker than that of the fence they are in front of, and perhaps even make it the heaviest line in the design. but overall, i totally dig, nice job :)

Very much improved from when it was in critique. I wouldn't have the patience to do all those patterns personally, so that really impresses me.

willoweeper on Jul 22 '07
one piece of feedback. shouldn't the goat's tails be the last thing to change since it's the point furthest from their mouth, where the food is introduced? i love the concept!
NomesMcFly
NomesMcFly on Jul 23 '07
love love love. i would prefer front and back 1. and then back 2 on the sleeve xD i like it on lime. think mint would look good too
WhitneyBeth
   WhitneyBeth on Jul 23 '07
hahaha, willow.... i don't know. it is a mystery how these goats change... perhaps it the fabric has to be digested first, in which case it would spread outward starting with the stomach ;-)
