objective comment: this is a trace of a very well known photograph found here: http://terryrichardson.com/Nude_Girls/G18.html

aesthetic comment: nice illustration, put it in the middle of the shirt, make it a little smaller. nice color palette.

ugh. She looks a lot better on the shirt than in that picture. Also a warning that that link contains nudity.

I love how the text is done. The color combo with the natural t is probably my favorite. Don't know if you can really get away with tracing that photo tho. I think this would be really cool if the black were changed to some other dark color such as burgundy.

kansasliberal it is actually a contour line drawing from observation, then vectorised. I don't trace. Yes the pic is from the terry richardson site who I respect, but for versatility I thought I would try out what most people do on threadless, turning photos that are not there own into illustrations. I am not bitter though, just trying out a popular style.

just be careuful about giving credit where credit is due.

just cause other people use the crutch of non-unique drawings doesn't mean you have to. it is not being versatile if you're doing whate everone else does on threadless.

keep in mind i still gave you a favorable comment. just be aware of copyright laws if you wanna continue lifting from other artists.

I have a series of this shirt with her in the center, top right, top left, no words, 2 colors, smaller, etc. But you cannot submit the same artwork twice in this competition. (kiwi damo, Leftist Jesuit.)

kansasliberal, I respected your favorable comment as much as your creative criticism. I am just trying out this style to see what it is about, because I take my own photograph and do my own illustrations and I know the copyright laws. If 70%-80% of the orginal image is changed then it is considered up for grabs and most people on threadless have not broken that rule so there shirts get printed. I can link tons of peoples easy fix artwork to websites. But don't worry this is the first and last time I try this.

aerosol addict, your too funny I was thinking the exact same thing, and she probably has alot of arm pit hair as well.

aerosol addict, yeah it is the 80 rockers theme. Also it's the nose that i think makes her look like a man. ha ha

great text. "kiss" mark is a little cheesy.. maybe change its color to white, black or sunglass-orange.

I love the off-white/blue/yellow color combo one. Natural isn't too shabby either.
