About my design

by turtle-lover
For King and Country we sail the stars

For cookies, milk and candy bars

For breaks in the galley with warm cups of soup

For it's cold in space and up on the poop



...as in "poop deck". Ha!



8 colours on blue jean. I hope you all like!

If your tshirt printing fails, you should just put together a childrens book of all your drawings with the attached poems, I would definately buy that too...

I like this a lot, but I think the helmets should be a different color from the background. It looks like you didn't finish coloring it.

the sketch is great. It reminds me of a little kid day dreamin in class

what if you overlayed the sketch on the colors? I think the reason that people like the sketches better is that the colored versions seem so flat by comparison. There's so much more texture and shading going on in the sketch.

all their faces definitely need to be colored in. other than that i love it! and i like the vector drawing better than the sketch $5

I have to say it. Your sketches rule! And yes, I totally agree with Rub3rDucky, that would be an awesome children's book.

to be honest I think I'd prefer it if it was coloured when on the t-shirt. $4

Every single design of yours excites me with kiddish delight. Keep it up.

Sketches are cool, but not for shirts, imo. If guys like glennz showed his sketches before the final, I wonder what folks would say. Cool illustration, btw :)

Great idea. You should try selling it to the Royal Astronomical Society, since they've successfully banned British manned spaceflight for the past 65 years!

I would buy it! In fact I would buy more for my nephews! I agree with the others, take a chance, make a childs book~ your art is very refreshing~$5

Thanks all :) The children's book publishing industry is very cut throat and difficult to get into. Publishers do not accept unsolicited material (ends up at the bottom of the slush pile, kind of like around here) and neither to literary agents (so how do you get one?). It's a catch 22 and it seems like you need to know someone in the business to get a hook up. I am working on a book now (finished it for the most part, but I think I want to redo the art) and will probably just try and initially publish it myself. We'll see. I have received a lot of good feedback on it, though.



Thanks again for the comments :)

i think someone said this already, but i too, like the sketch design better. there's a special quality about overlapped pencil marks that you can't see when everything is in a full solid color. but i really like the sketch!

I would never wear it because of the flag... I'm not British though, is this design meant just for British people or are you trying to spread the good word?

"I would never wear it because of the flag..."



That's just being stupid. I see people wearing the UK flag everywhere. Half the stuff at Hot Topic has the UK flag on it.

Great design. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you next sub was a sketch version.
