Wow... This is intriguing.

I like it, but the two large circles seem like a very odd choice. Also, just looking at it now, if you took out the bottom bird, as well as the two bottom... ah.. swirls, let's say... I think it'd be much tighter. It's a middle of the road four for me.

Well, shit, I can't seem to stop looking at it! And so here's some more of my not so expert advice. I'd remove the white areas, and turn the gray to black (or remove them also). I'd also push the hands up a bit, even though that may make it seem like the hands don't connect naturally to the woman. I just like compactness.

looks wicked awesome in pink. circles are..weird. 3

I would LOVE this without the two circles patterns. As for now, I am just friends with it.

I favor the timber green- I agree on no circles, otherwise this design is awesome.

i like parts of the illustration. but thats pretty much it. i especially dont like the giant circles.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. So honestly, you think I should yank the circles?

K, i pulled out the circles here:

Let me know if that is better.

Yea, it's a lot better without the circles.

cool design.

better without the circles alright.

looks amazing in heather.

Yep, remove the circles and add arms and you've got a winner!

heather and denim = heart

Nice work. You go girl.....I mean BOY!

really cool design...5

kickass in heather, i'd lose just the small circle and call it a compromise. 4.

Thanks everyone again!!! Alright, I redid my flash file here, so you can see what the design would look like without the circles, and on the different colored shirts. I might resubmit this design like this later. You think taht would be a wise idea?

hope you enjoy!

the circles do nothing but detract from the beautiful design

the circles seem thrown-in at the last minute. re-think them.

K, the circles do detract. check out the links that I've posted in my previous posts above. The show the design without the circles. You guys rock, thanks for the comments and the votes!

I really like this sans the circles in the back ground.

i'm like most, i really like it. just without the circles

Circles are fine, maybe just tone them down.

i love this without the swirlies--i like the heather and the classic pink too--good job :)

Either lose the circles, or like it was said above, tone them down...otherwise the illustration is amazing. awesome stuff

I like the circles, adds flavor.

Excellent illustration on the face, slaterock.

I'd take timber green and denim, with or without circles.

I'll chime in with everyone and say that it looks much better without the circles. Gorgeous design, I would definitely buy this!

(my favorite colors are the heather and natural)

jumping on the circle wagon also...looks MUCH better without :)

Nice work though...

the circles take away from the beauty of the image in front of them it is much better without

Maybe the problem with the circles is that you used grey circles with all colours of shirts...
Excellent art though..kinda dark... love it.

GraficaMente, i think you might be right. I thought about making the circles the complementary color of the shirt color it's on, but i'm already up to 4 unique colors. thanks for the idea though, and I'm glad you like that it's dark:)

I think my favorite colors are... denim, timber green and khaki.

Again, much thanks for all your comments and input, and keep voting!!!!

badass design. slaterock is the man.

yep i rate this.

the circle thingies kill it.

excellent design. if you kill out the circles, I would definitely go for this one on a darker shirt. That really makes the hands pop.

Once again, thanks for leaving comments. I will resubmit this design after this one has finished it's voting period, but i will alter it, taking out the circles. I was thinking that maybe with the alteration, I should put some paisley design behind the main design, in that same grey that the circles are in right now. If you guys have any other ideas on how to improve upon this design, let me know!

pink!

man, i'm infiltrating my thread again. Anyway, i need some feedback. I redid, yet again, this design, and I will post it after this one's time is up. here are the links:

If you have time, check 'em out, and let me know what you think.

dude, this looks awesome with the circles, but I have to say it looks even better without them.

i dont like the circles

the revamp is also beautiful. the one thing i dont like is how the whole picture is black and white and then all that grey.
it's still beautiful and it also blow my design out of the water that is threadless.

I dont like those circles really. Or maybe you could make a cirlce in the midle only.
Yet, very good! 4!

Man, I do not know what you guys are talking about. Those circles are what makes this picture art. Without the circles I'd be too tempted to look away, but with the circles there, I am drawn to the overall picture, and tommy likey. Good job slatedogdiggity, you do not mess around.

the only design ive rated a 5 so far... great work

Very nice Mike!! I love it in Heather and Timber Gree! You have an incredible God given talent. Great work dude!

Would buy it in either Timber Green or Denim

Heather or Pink is what I'd wear. And I'd definitely wear this. Great job. 5, w/o Circles.

o man! nice!!!!
