Lovin it! There's something putting me off, I think it may be the colour of the tee I don't know or maybe the size of the image, either way 4 minimum... give me a minute....

sweet shirt... $5

i like this a lot. but i do agree with wiredsc.
change the color of the tee.try a lighter color.

I really like this but I agree with comments above about the colour. There needs to be more contrast between the "life is just dandy" top half and the "my precious" bottom half. The colour is a yukky colour and just too much the same all over.

Maybe a deep purple might make it a bit more creepylicious ...

interesting scenario

Chengui on Mar 06 '08

Looks like people want a different color (where were you all in critique?). The problems I ran into with different colors were that I needed a color that would be the right value for the underwater. This was because I wanted to keep the majority of the colors and focus on the top of the shirt so there wouldn't be an overwhelming amount of ink on the shirt. Sometimes I'm frustrated by the shirt color choices I get - no in between

Chengui on Mar 06 '08

That's not to say it's impossible or anything, but I thought I'd explain the issues I had. Maybe I'll resub later if a different color is consensus. I highly appreciate the input.

Thanks everyone, keep 'em coming. Any shirt colors in particular?

how about purple or kelly green?

I think this is a great design. I love it!

jacksos on Mar 06 '08

I'd like to see it with less colors.

helmut13e on Mar 06 '08

I like the fact that the design is huge so it would fill the front of the shirt, also, I like the color but I wouldn't mind seeing it on a lighter hue. Great either way :)

ha ha ha ha

Like the color as it is. Though Im not as sure with the orange...

nie on Mar 07 '08

NOT kelly green, no no no.

Chengui on Mar 07 '08

I worked up some other color combos which can be viewed here: http://www.threadless.com/critique/16503/Stepping_Stone_V2_0
I dropped a few colors and changed some of the values, let me know if you which you like best, maybe I'll be resubmitting. I figure I might as well do this while people are still checking out the design. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

Chengui on Mar 08 '08

Seems like everyone is voting for a different color....

Mountain Gnome on Mar 08 '08

Chengui: I'd buy it! 5!

Kushti on Mar 09 '08

Awesome design!!

As for the provided color choices: I like the beige/natural best, followed by the olive. I think the blue would also look great if the boy's hair/shirt/shoes could be a contrasting color. I think the dragon really pops well in the blue.

But regardless of shirt color - it's amazing! :)

SudZ on Mar 10 '08

Nice. I like the colors as is.
