About my design

by arashi
Chinese/Japanese legend said that the tapir is a creature that eats dreams. So thanks to it we dont stay in bad dreams for too long, but neither does the good ones :(

i thought it could be as cool as our doggies, cats, elephants, giraffes and piggies!

Enjoy~

The design is nice, but work on improving the colors. You may want to define the strokes a little more so the animals stand out.

thanks for the tips guys

i have to say i do have problem with the colours, i sat for hrs trying to get things right.

U see the legend said it's a purple tapir and i want to stuck with it, and i want some brighter colours on the shirt

i did experiment with the red and orange just to see the feedbacks.

keep the comment coming hehe

its just that that shade of purple doesnt really match any background colour well and it just doesn't stand out from the rest of the Tee. but using bolder/darker lines might not solve this problem - might take away the underlying style of the artwork. its a great design... but just cant point my finger to exactly how to make it "right".

i love the idea and the animals but the text is near impossible to read, i like the style, but a little clearer would be good. 4!

does it say "good dreams never last" if it does then i would work on the first "g". if it's lower case then it's backwards and if it's uppercase the shape on the top of the "g" is making it a little confusing. as far as colors, if the tapir is supposed to be purple i'd make it a darker purple and let that be the main color that pops out and use more subdued colors for the rest of the elements- right now they are all competing for attention. wow i can't believe i wrote that much. anyway. good job!! can't wait to see the re-done version

btw kreinertsen, the G is a capitial, its second stroke extended all the way down to the D

hmm..i'll try making that G a little clearer...with my present comp skill hehehe

I know this is an old design, but I just found it and think it's awesome.
