huh?

yeah...I don't get this, you like them both so much you want to suck them through a straw?

i dont like this design.

on baby blue as the ocean and cream as sand, hes inhaling them both inside him before anyones asks,

Oh that makes perfect sense!

yes lol its funny when u walk on beach with it gals will think u wan just suck them in

i dont enjoy being inhaled

I don’t like….. well a lot of this but I will try to at least give you some good criticism. Why dose the guy have a face and the girls do not? Try to at least be consistent in you drawings. They guys feet “in the sand” at least show a line or something so it does not look like he has deformed feet. The blanket looks more like a flying carpet then a beach towel work on the perspective a bit. Ok I think that is enough to get you on the right track and take my advice or leave it.

didnt want them facing him thats a first and on shirts is appears feet ion water or in sand did the lines and removed them bout the towel didnt want it in perfect perspective and wanted it also wavy as like sand under it but i appreciated ur comments :)

This must be the human version of Kerby....

i think the lifeguard is a pretty cool guy, eh sucks up men in bikinis through a large tube and doesn't afraid of anything.

my cat need operation i hope this wins

but even if the girls arent looking at the guy, surely they stoill have faces, and it doesnt appear his feet are in anyting, if you want it to look like sand i suggest you erm, make it look like sand, little dots all over the place and whatnot

I love it. How stalkerish.

I feel sorry for his cat.

Very amatuer looking. Your lack of experience in design really shows in all your designs. I would suggest you work on your skills in the applications you are using, wether it be photoshop or illustrator or a combination of the 2. After you're done getting better in the application you are using, I suggest you really think about an idea before taking it to the tshirt design stage. Make sure that people will understand it first and foremost, then make sure it is a suitable design for a tshirt that people would actually want to wear.

This is utterly ghastly.

I speak my mind about T-shirt designs just like I speak my mind about pop singers. If you don't like what I say, then maybe you should work on your skills and come back to me when you're more talented.

wats makes u so skilled in judging designs and if ur not skilled and u dont work in the feild u have to know that ur suggestions and judging is limited so maybe speaking ur mind bout pop singers is more efficient than judging designs since u dont involve ur self in the feild u really NEED to read THE ART SPIRIT by robert henri before taking in ur mind anything

Simon Cowell wtffffffffff looooooooooooool

Is it me, or does anyone else see stock images from clip art in this?

looks like inflatable dolls?

I think this is supposed to be a critique, not some immature whine-fest ... for sure one thing is clear, the shirt needs some work ... your logic isn't there, and most agree on this. So darkdog, swallow your pride and rework the design .... or trash it and work with something new ... we don't make any money if we say your shirt looks like trash or looks like the next coming of the messiah ... it's our opinion and you can either work with what we say or keep posting your refutes.

lool ...first of all i love being criticized and hearing different opinions or ill never improve my work or know wat pll like its nothing bout pride am actually laughing most of the time its that just some people comment you in negative way not to help nor that they are into designs lol they are just envious aand with no talent so they become watchers which is not bad as long as u watch and give suggestions on basics not just cause u are helpless and with no tool and agaaain u should ALL READ THE ART SPIRTI FOR ROBERT HENRI. ill just point one part which he says an artist it not by how good ur work is its bout way of life anyway :) keep it going, i just love to read pll

ha ha ha this is absolute garbage. poor darkdog.

am a crazy vegan, not doing anything at all with my life. lol and i suppose thats all u do, beside od ~ing lol

Ska.lovely daddy must had alot of sugar :)

You need to learn how to handle criticism better or you won't last long here.

I don't understand this. He is sucking them up through a straw? This seems degrading to women, as if he wants them both and so he sucks them up. The art does need work; see other comments above. Can someone explain what is meant by this design? (And I say this with utter sincerity of my confusion.)

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

Doesn't look like a straw to me, looks like a bong! Sorry, but yuck, yuck and more yuck, design is awful, perhaps you should pick up a different hobby cuz design just isn't your thang!!!

So... how does Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" apply to this design (or vice versa)? I'm still confused.

Looks like he's smoking a huge blue cigarette with bikini girls hanging out of it.

wow you do not seem to take criticism well

well this is coming from my artist view being a painter and having experience with screen printing (i add this because you seem to be worried about being critiqued by someone with no experience)

Choose face or no face you need to create some sort of connection between the figures (color cannot be the only thing that ties a design together)

The towel/blanket thingy doesn't look like what it was supposed t be (perspective or not) It looks like a bunch of squares

Give the figures a space some sort of environment otherwise it's just people floating out in space which is why the half feet are confusing. Make sure it does reflect a beach setting regardless of t-shirt color

You do need to practice more try making several sketches of your design put them away for a day then take them back out and analyze them and make changes

Good thing is your human proportion is fairly accurate so good job

last thing to be a real artist you must take all criticism with an open mind and put them to use don't get self defensive or take it personally

good luck hope your cat gets better

thanks lyssie :) hmm yes hope that too

seee my critique tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This is possibly the most entertaining blog I've ever read

I wish I had razor sharp feet like he does.

yes yessss my blogs are always interesting :) u should have seen the old ones,

loooooooooooooooooool on the shirtt they apear as they sink in sand or ocean common pll dont be so hotdog

mezo one of ur desings u meant the last supper right?

i don't think i like it, what make su think a girly t-shirt with this design will actually sell?

It makes perfect sense that he slightly has a boner.

Woah, huge pixie stick sugar rush!

darkdog's cat RIP

LOL at workerdrone's comment. I'd feel terrible now if that wasn't just a faux plea for a sympathy print.

I thought the girls were inflatable at first.... Aside from what's been said already the straw isn't very straw-like.

besterest shirt

wats makes u so skilled in judging designs and if ur not skilled and u dont work in the feild u have to know that ur suggestions and judging is limited so maybe speaking ur mind bout pop singers is more efficient than judging designs since u dont involve ur self in the feild u really NEED to read THE ART SPIRIT by robert henri before taking in ur mind anything

your grammar skills, as well as your artistic ones, are horrible.

PRINT

Ohhh. Yes! Drinking people. And I Will Survive.
I dunno, but I think I am going to give this a 5. Just cos.

thankss murgles ,,
and one last thing look..
1-your grammar skills, as well as your artistic ones, are horrible.

2-darkdog's cat RIP

3-but yuck, yuck and more yuck, design is awful, perhaps you should pick up a different hobby cuz design just isn't your thang!!!

4-ha ha ha this is absolute garbage. poor darkdog.

lol now hows thata ciritcism or constructive comments some one tell me berfore pointing out how evil i am and a bad person :) ??? do u call this comments ? or hate notes?

snow day. typical comment for some one ur age :)

I just want to note that the Art Spirit by Robert Henri does not really apply here. While I appreciate how Henri talks about art as a lifestyle, threadless is about printing designs that the majority of the people will like and buy. So feel free to post designs that very few people enjoy, in fact, I encourage the nonconformity, but do not try to invoke Henri on Threadless.

Darkdog, your design does need some work, the people before me have testified so. However, to the people that are just posting rude comments, please clean up your acts.

But why would Woody Harrelson do such a thing?

My first thought: A dude blowing up 2 blow-up dolls.
Second thought: Wait, wtf?
Third thought: Is that a bong?
Fourth thought: Zero

But I LIKE being a hotdog.

hate it more its orgasmic lol .. mezo and i like being ketchup

i think it gained all the hate from females lol i think it would have been a guys shirt ,,

Step 1: Denial - My design does not suck. You are all wrong.
Step 2: Anger - Why are you all yelling at me!? I've clearly explained my terrible design! Listen closer! Your age denotes the value of your comments!
Step 3: Bargaining - My cat is dying. Please vote me FTW.
Step 4: Depression - "do u call this comments? or hate notes? don't be so hotdog'
Step 5: Acceptance - Wait! I see it now. Although I may have potential, this design is indeed quite terrible.

There's no point in anyone giving you constructive criticism. You construe everything that's being said as an attack.

0.

robotsteve wish see u acting are u famous?

everything about this sub and all the comments slays me

Yes, I misunderstood this also. I thought they were blow up dolls.

I think everyone's criticism is a bit harsh though. Good luck!

this is horrible

worst eposide ever :) ...

this is going allright here ;-)

lol

Hey, it DOES look like his feet are in sand if you zoom in on the shirts... but it does look like a magic carpet

I lol´d all the way.

ur the prick
