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.

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.

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

   slaterock on Jun 28 '04
K, i pulled out the circles here:

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?

the circles do nothing but detract from the beautiful design

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

   slaterock on Jun 29 '04
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!

Circles are fine, maybe just tone them down.

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
GraficaMente
GraficaMente on Jun 29 '04
Maybe the problem with the circles is that you used grey circles with all colours of shirts...

Excellent art though..kinda dark... love it.
slaterock
   slaterock on Jun 29 '04
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!!!!

the circle thingies kill it.
Aquaphase
Aquaphase on Jun 30 '04
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.
slaterock
   slaterock on Jun 30 '04
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!

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

i dont like the circles
brian mclendon
brian mclendon on Jul 01 '04
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.
Screaminsilence
Screaminsilence on Jul 01 '04
I dont like those circles really. Or maybe you could make a cirlce in the midle only.

Yet, very good! 4!

poser62 on Jul 01 '04
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.
