No specialty inks. This design is from an original sketch I drew a couple of years ago (included in the lower right corner). A friend of mine heard about this challenge and told me I ought to enter it, so I reworked it and here we are!

I have one concern: Threadless has already run a "Fishtank" shirt (I own it, in fact). There, the pun was read as a fishtank in the shape of a tank (i.e. a tank-shaped fishbowl).

the original sketch is so so so so so much better. :[

sorry dude threadless already did this. but i kinda like the way yours looks better lol 5$

keep it how u had it on the sketch

Love the style, but not sure if they would print another one of these:
here's the printed onet

I'd love to see more from you, you're very talented!

Oh wow! I had no idea this had already been done before!
I don't think there would be any trouble printing this though, it isn't the same design at all. Same pun maybe, but completely different idea. (Thanks so much to the guy who linked the old one!)

I mean, i think mine has a lot of personality!

I saw the other fish tank. Now let me pose this question to you: Out of the two interpretations, which would you rather NOT mess with?

My money (figuratively and literally) is on Darklit!

hell yes!

This is by far my favorite! I like both designs because it can be used for the younger age group or the older age group. I think it would make a great clothing line for kids! I looked at the other fishtank design and thought it was good but it didn't have the personality or character of this one. You have my vote! Look forward to more creative ideas from this artist.

I diggin the green from the drawing...darker, but nice overall

Threadless needs more pun-based t-shirt designs! Yours is a good start!

I have to agree that the original sketch is a lot more appealing. I'd go for that. Also, central placement is a bit boring. Makes it less special.

Why the old sketch? Is it the color? I don't like the design of it that much. And i totally agree about the placement. I wanted it elsewhere, but if its any smaller its hard to see on here what the design actually is. So this is as big as i can get it for the running, and i figure later if they choose to print it maybe they'll let me change the dimension a bit to make it more appealing.

The one fish coming out of the back of the fish tank's tail as the hatch is pretty effing funny.

I'm torn cuz I saw the old one and It was kinda fun. I like this too and it's a different concept then the other in some ways. So..... I'm stuck.

love it

i wish all tanks were designed like this so we could easily spot them and blow them all up with all the nukes... leaving no more WOMDs around. But we would first need to all be evacuated to the moon .

I agree that the original sketch has a lot more character.
