This will be my first submission to Threadless. That being said, I don't really expect this to get accepted. I only ask that when you score it, you give me feedback so I can improve on the design...
Thanks!

Its cute but i dont get it. I'm young so i dont really have any authority making suggestions but its still kinda cool.

It's choppy. Smooth it up.
Is that blue on the bottom left of the ghost a glitch or is that going to be in the print?

Yeah, the ghost needs to be cuter and everything needs to be smoother.

isn't that blue the ghost's shadow?

i think the ghost is adorable. i think the shirt's adorable.

The blue you chose for the shirt brings out the ghost nicely. :]
The ghost itself and the idea is very cute. :Þ

I'd like the placement up a little more. Otherwise, well done! 4$

Yeah, I don't know what's up with the edges here, but that blue line near the bottom is not supposed to be there.

I just saw this exact idea a couple of days ago. EXACT. It was even on this site. ZERO for copying.

Sorry robot, but I never even been to this site before I submitted this. If you can pull up a link, I might believe you.

YOu need to smooth out the ghost's head...it's pointy. Also, the ice cream should not be under the ghost, it should be under the cone.

It fell through the ghost... because he's a ghost.

W/e, I realize that doesn't really get portrayed here...

Here you go. Ghost, check. Ice Cream, check. Ice Cream on ground, check. Crapily drawn artwork, check. Complete waste of the five minutes it must have taken to draw, check.

I like this image a lot more - it provides a cohesive story in one frame. The fact that the ghost would try and eat all the ice cream at the same time stretches the point slightly, but nevertheless, I like it.

It kind of surprises me how often people suggest to smooth out the edges or work on the quality of the illustration. Most of the time I just think that it's the person's style, the way they wanted it to look. I dunno, I guess that's just me. Although I do think that the design as is doesn't convey that the ghost tried to eat the ice cream. It looks like it just fell off the cone.

Manduh Kay-

People more than often just recite the same nonsense they read from another critique, and then just regurgitate it into their own sad form of a critique. We really should just shut our mouths and only talk for the reason of praise, but due to our demented humor and overinflated feeling of self-worth, we tend to just spew out crap for our own enjoyment.

I get it robot, you don't like the design.

You've already scored it. No point in just trolling here. Go score some other designs.

I see the makings of an existential genius evident in this masterpiece. After all, the existence of summer (or rather the fun it permeates, which may be its defining characteristic (or holistic characteristic?)) is negated by the failure of the ghost itself to exist (perhaps an extended metaphor to the failure of those concerned about past failure and their inability to 'carpe diem'?)

A 5 most definitely.

really cute, and it doesnt look anything like the other one, this is much better and you cant even tell the other one is a ghost, it just looks like a blob.

this is really cute and i would definitely buy it, but maybe just a bit more? im cheap so when i buy a $15 t-shirt I want it to be magnificent. this is almost there, like at "magnifice..."

Some reason i find this hilarious. good job
Staronthepitch
Staronthepitch on Jul 02 '08
I found it hilarious, although i think that the ghost itself would have drawn more sympathy if there were other ghosts laughing at it or still holding their own ice cream.

Excellent Idea though.

I didn't really get that the ice cream had fallen through the ghost. Maybe give it an ice cream stain on its front? I do think it's a great idea (and very funny!) but it just needs some work. I agree with those who think it's a bit rough - the top and bottom look like they are other shapes that have been tacked onto a rectangle. At the top, if it were a bit more curvy and less cornery at the edges...sorry, hard to describe with words!

Good concept but it needs to be a bit smoother.
dodger_miller
dodger_miller on Jul 04 '08
I didn't understand the concept at first, either, but the explanation sounds like a good idea. This is a very cute shirt, and I like the colors and simplicity, but the ghost's mouth makes it look a little happier than I think you're trying to portray it as, and the ice cream looks a little odd.

Again, though, very cute, just needs a little more work.

I think the placement can be better. I have a shirt with a design in that same place and unless I'm standing up with my shirt pulled tight, you don't even notice the design.
Harfangoria
Harfangoria on Jul 07 '08
Appearance-wise I think it's fine for what it is. But I don't get why this would specifically happen to a ghost. If the ghost were incorporeal and couldn't grab the cone at all, that'd be funny, but this I don't get...
Artm8ker
Artm8ker on Jul 07 '08
I like this a lot. The execution is perfect. (Maybe the ghost could be scooted over just a smidge towards the middle)
ClawKilledZebra
ClawKilledZebra on Jul 07 '08
I like it, it's cute. Maybe leave some pink icecream on the cone, and put some pink in the ghost's mouth and kinda dripping down inside him and then a blob of icecream below him, so we get that the icecream kind just goes right through him...if that's what you were going for.
