(matthijs) on Jan 11 '08 Not bad, would have preferred it if you had hand drawn the text instead of using a font that looks hand drawn.
|
 |
hahah! well done!
|

whirzle1 on Jan 11 '08 Thanks guys!
Matthijs - I was debating that! I typed out the phrase for placement (with the intention of drawing my own type) and then started cycling through some hand fonts I already have - just to see if that was even the route I wanted to follow. I really liked the feel of this font and decided to leave it. After I sub'd it, I started feeling a little regret...c'est la vie. |

jstumpenhorst on Jan 11 '08 oh god!! i want this shirt so bad!! great work!!

|
mezo on Jan 11 '08 Heeheee....I make beach attire shirts for a living.
|
 |
i like the font, but also wish it was hand drawn. it would just make it even better i think, even if you did the lettering in a similar style to the current font. there is just a bit too much repitition right now... it looks like a font instead of communicating.
also, this might be too wordy, not sure how i feel about that. otherwise i like it. |
 |
OMG I WANT THIS!!!!
5$$$$ |

Monkey III on Jan 12 '08 It's awesome!

Heeheee....I make beach attire shirts for a living. Really? That's awesome. Does that mean an obligatory hawaiian shirt day on Fridays? |
 |
ditto on drawing the font
|
 |
Andreas Mohacsy on Jan 12 '08 this is fresh - i'll give it a 5 because i agree with what matthijs said about the font but if you fix that up $ will follow
|
 |
wait kids, let's not get carried away here. Type foundries exist for a reason. I don't think this drawing would look any better or worse if the type was hand drawn versus using a font.
I guess I'm just saying that there's no use in beating a dead horse - especially when it's over the color of the saddle. ...climbs down off pedestal... 4 - nice lines. |
|
whirzle1 on Jan 12 '08 yikes! (note to self) Don't ever use a typeface that I didn't draw myself on Threadless.
|
 |
PRINT!!!!!!
|
 |
I would wear this in homage to a gal I knew named "Nola". No, she wasn't a showgirl, but she did drink herself half-blind. Ahhhh... the good ole days!
5 for nostalgia and another 5 for your skills. :) |
|
Andreas Mohacsy on Jan 12 '08 their is a reason for the feedback - why go to the trouble of creating a striking and fairly original and beautiful illustration and then chuck someone else's typeface over the top...
what you have done isn't bad but why not make the characters your own and give them your own feel, maybe lay the words out a little more dynamically also, but what you have done serves it's purpose... it's not bitching when you still get praise and high scores, it's just sweating the details to top off the existing quality. |
 |
Curiouser and curiouser.
You certainly have my attention and it helps that I really like the song. |
 |
BubuSam on Jan 13 '08 Extremely outstanding! Good job!!

I know. I'm not complaining. I was more commenting on people repeating the same critique. As for the layout, that was intentional - I'm not one for leaving widows (especially multiple widows), but on this particular illustration and the story it tells, I thought I was being clever by leaving "widows." I appreciate all the comments and feedback. Thanks! |

i know very little about art on Jan 13 '08 Really good design!!
I'd wear it anytime! |
 |
I like it a lot!!!! Has that extra interesting...
5$ plus :) |

ginetteginette on Jan 13 '08 i can't believe people are grilling you so badly for using a pre-made font. i'm usually first to comment when a font isn't working but this one just IS. you can hardly tell that it isn't hand-drawn, and in any case if you hadn't admitted that this was premade i would have assumed you premade an alphabet yourself and used the same letters over again. christ there's no harm in that when it's actually working.
^haha at glamjets. what a bugger that person is - always first to criticize but not with good suggestions. this has GOT TO print. |
 |
ladrones on Jan 14 '08 super duper!
the pre made font is nice. |
 |
Ellsswhere on Jan 14 '08 really dope, i own both of his^^ light colored tees so im not against white/natural tees, but i think this design would look boss on a colored tee
|
 |
nice style!
|
 |
no one ever seems to think about the fact that there are actually normal girls named lola. i guess what i'm saying is, i don't appreciate this stereotype being perpetuated.
but if that type is hand-drawn, it is nice. |
 |
love it. 5$$$$$. I think the font looks great....and why has no one mentioned how completely awesome the gold foil will be...I say "will be" because this WILL get printed.
|
 |
The text is nice
|
|
frankly, i have no gripes with the type
|
|
you is bonkers!! More More More you little showgirl!!
