hey, its cute!

as you gave me really helpful critique I have studied your design to give u something helpful too. Its took me a long while, since I really like it but What I can say is that where the feet are, I reckon the white is too big on the penguins left leg. its sort of grand while the right white part is tiny. Its a minor thing but for someone like me who havent study penguins it looks wrong.

good luck!

I would have to say that I feel the idea here isn't too strong. That, or I just don't get it.
It's a lil late tho for critiques, so I hope this does well! =)

The lines of the penguin really flow naturally and support the mood. Looks good on the tee as well!

Awww.. so cute. I think it would be even cuter if the eye were more cartoony and cute and I kind of wish that the red balloon wasn't there. Ya know go ahead and take away the one that is still floating.

GOOD JOB ! 4

So sad. At least it still has one balloon. You know, one small thing, I would make the cupcake a little more "splooched" where the frosting has hit the ground. Right now it looks almost like it has falling into a small hole, so if the frosting had a bit of a ripple at the pavement, then it would seem more like an impact. Kinda like how a car looks after a front end collision, does that make sense?

Thanks for the advice on my design as well. Going to make the changes.

Good luck. Hope you get printed.

Awww, this is so sad...

How about some texture lines around the outline of the penguin and the balloon because they look kind of flat.

I think this is a really nice concept! With a few improvements, I'd like it even more:

I think he should only have one balloon. I'd put a popped balloon on the end of his string, just dangling on the ground instead of popping at the moment of the picture.

The cupcake is good.

See if you can make the penguin look less... vector-y? He's very smooth right now, but he looks a bit static. Try making his expression without using tears, I think if you accomplish this it'll be more effective. :)

Thanks for checking out my design.

I think it's a great concept, but I think there should only be one balloon, perhaps just the red one.

The penguin looks like it's floating slightly off the ground, maybe it's just me haha.

I'd like to see what it looks like without the black line around every thing too. Other than those minor things I think it's a great concept.
