might be better without the white scribble, maybe a tad more detail on silhouette?

kalisto > it's not a scribble; it's the outline of the roof of a building.

This is really great - good eye for color on this, too. Don't understand the scribbly white line, don't see the roof of a building in it either ...

Pretty awesome. I'd but it. maybe make the outline of the roof much more noticeable...cause, I thought it was just a random line.

xpostscript has a good idea. If you have the flowers cut off along the silouhette line that the roof makes, it'll make it more noticible and not just like a white scribble. If you did that, you'd probably want to adjust how the flowers move too.



As it is, Its pretty cool and i'd still wear it.

I mistook the white line too -- maybe add a little more detail or delete the line?



overall I really like it.

I recognize that the white line is the roof of a pagoda, but only after you explain it.

It should be recognisable immediately, or else it's not working.

Personally I would love to see the rest of the pagoda drawn in.

I think it might look better that way, then just completely removing the outline.

Urban Outfitters. Not 2K. work on it.

It's cute and well done. The concept doesn't really do anything for me. I have begun to feel turned off by Japanophilic items. That having been said, this one is really nice, and I particularly like the cherry blossoms.

Pretty! Maybe get rid of the roof or add more detail to it.

Hello! I appreciate everyone's comments, though boreas, I'm not sure exactly what "Urban Outfitters not 2K meant". I like a lot of Urban Outfitters stuff so I sort of took it as a compliment but I don't think that was what you meant ;). What in particular do you suggest to make it better? Most people seemed to be confused by the roof top. That's understandable. I've been thinking a lot about how to change this. I spent about an hour just investigating different ways to change it, but in the end I decied to try something Belenen and sighfoo mentioned and tried a more detailed looking rooftop. Now this design is one of my first designs submitted to Threadless so sorry if I do things non traditionally :) do I resubmit an idea with changes? Well, for now, I will just send you a link to the new rooftop and if you guys don't mind clicking on the link, I'd like to hear your feedback. Thanks :).

Also, I guess I did the intro wrong because it never came up :). In case you were wondering, Mameha was a geisha from the book, Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden. I really liked the character. She was supposed to be just incredibly beautiful so I tried to create a scene of her wandering through the streets of Gion to the next tea house. But, since everyone has different ideas of beauty, I wanted to make her a siloutte so you could place on her your own idea of a beautiful woman. I also like doing things minimalistic. I'm glad you enjoyed it :).

The color is awesome. Maybe if you added to the line so that it looked like a rooftop because I see it but I'd want to see a bit more of it. I'd buy it.

Emmaish: the link I provided wasn't working? Hmmm, well sometimes my server can go down if there's a rainstorm or something (happens quiet frequently in Tampa ;)). I just checked it and it was working now. Wait, do you mean when you tried to click on it it didn't work? Sorry, I was assuming it would automatically hyperlink it. Try copy and pasting it into your address bar and see if that works. Thanks for looking/commenting!

I love this design. The updated design with the more detailed pagoda silhoutte looks beautiful. I don't think I would buy this shirt in baby blue, but I may put aside my intense dislike of the color for this design. If you offered it in a few other colors I would most definitely buy it right away.
