Hello,
I based this design on some Cardboard Animals I made, which you can see Here
if you want.

And a larger version of the design isHere

Hope you like it.

I really like it!

Something kinda seems a little awkward about the sun (maybe that the lining on the clouds is brighter than the actual sun), but at the same time I really like the contrast between the background and the figures. A brighter sun would be too bold anyway.

$5

By the way, those links are both just linking to this page for me..

$4, I'm not sure why you've got "this way up" on the Rhino,but I think it'd be better without, also the tree's shadow looks a bit ... boxy .. with the sun so low shouldn't it be a bit elongated? If it was, or showed some hint of terrain it's cast over, it'd be 5. And if it was on a diff colour shirt, I'd buy it.

Oh yeah, and the links don't work

Oh, me gusta!

I really like this, but think the text on the Rhino should go. (besides, isn't it usually "This End Up" or This Side Up" on cardboard boxes?)

I hope Threadless chooses this and puts it on some cool colored shirts.

perhaps colours could be in brighter shades?
a little bit too dull for me .

but love th idea (:

benjamingeorge on Oct 22 '07

i think the darkness of khaki brings the shirt down
printed on natural possibly?

Tee-licious on Oct 22 '07

Posada on Oct 23 '07

nice

sannpet on Oct 24 '07

Shadow could be darker. But good work.

pylms on Oct 24 '07

I love it, but if the sunset were more realistic, it would accentuate the awesome cardboardness and horizon detail. I also don't know if "this way up" really adds to it.

axe_battler on Oct 24 '07

cool design, i'd rather have different placement though.

thadawan on Oct 24 '07

$5, awesome shirt!

Nintend0-duck-hunt on Oct 24 '07

I love love love this.

kritch on Oct 25 '07

Thanks for the comments everyone, maybe if it gets picked threadless will let me do some different colour options

MooseDinner on Oct 25 '07

I like the cardboard cutout idea, but I think this could use some work. The colors of the sunset could use some tweaking, and I think you need something more than just cardboard to get people to want this. You could do a bunch of different animals for instance. Or some interesting twist or joke or something.

PonderThis on Oct 25 '07

I would lose the sun and horizon. The animals and tree stand alone great by themselves. Or find a way to "cardboardize" the background landscape. Also, I agree with the earlier comments about elongating the shadow a bit to make it more realistic, and about losing the "This Way Up" on the Rhino. The cardboard message will still get across without that text.

Great work! 4.
