make it smaller and add more detail to the ship, making it more realistice looking and less like some weird, distorted battleship, and youve got an amazing tee. I love the concept. Also, it it were me, I would add some details to the tentacles, such as suckers, and lose the ripples behind the boat (but keep the ones under). Right now this gets a 4 though!

concept equals great. 1980's style cartoon view of it equals undesirable. awesome idea, but need to work on detail

Agree that some "suckers" would add to this, but a great tee anyway! Cool.

i dunno if i would add more detail to this.

i like the fact that without detail it looks like a toy in a bathtub but a giant killer squid is in the tub too.

it reminds me of my childhood, not that i bathed with killer squids, though i like calamari now - but thats off subject > > i always played with ships and sharks in the tub, and the sailers would die > always.

so no detail is my vote, and im ubercool, so its like 62 votes. jk
peace.

or, if you made the ship appear to be a a piece from the game battleship , the scale of the ship would fit better.

As far as shirt color, i dont have a lot of options because it should resemble water. although i guess it could be lava, if that were some kind of futuristic lava-boat. in any case, i like the understatedness that the simplicity affords the picture.

I like the first suggestions... 3 now, 5 if you enact some of those suggestions...

Awesome design, but I'd go with 8 or 6 tentacles instead of 10, and make them bigger-- it's unclear at first (suckers would help too, but at that size might just make it too busy). I like the shirt color lots, and the cartoon style.
ldearly
ldearly on Jan 04 '05
Oh! I didn't realize there's 8 of the normal tentacles and 2 of the long ones-- I think squid only have 6 normal tentacles?
yes
yes on Jan 04 '05
i love the low level of detail, i guess it depends on how well the color of the shirt translates if i'd buy it or not, but it's still a quality design. 5.

i like the shirt, but i must agree, too many tentacles. like it otherwise. the color is nice, it reminds me of water.
jollyroger
jollyroger on Jan 05 '05
come on people, its a mutant squid!
jollyroger
jollyroger on Jan 05 '05
and technically a squid does have 10 tentacles, i checked google.

I like it..but I think it'd be kinda cool if the design were on the back??..I don't know..maybe it's just me
yes
yes on Jan 05 '05
if you're going to count and bitch about tentacles on a fucking t-shirt, you don't deserve to own this one.

Kathy Lee's Carnival lines finally get it for her use of sweatshops.

My only suggestion is small people(stick people, even) freaking out and jumping overboard, getting taken by the tentacles.

There's not enough catastrophe shirts these days.

Make the graphic much smaller and less detailed, or raise it a half-inch and add more detail. I love the concept, though. Good work!

i would like to have more detail on the ship

Perhaps the ship could tilt foreward a little bit. If there's a giant mutant squid latched to the bottom, you think it might weigh it down a little? Nice trig reference.

I agree with 'yes'; if you're gonna bitch about the amount of tentacles you don't deserve to wear the shirt. I'd also add that you should know what you're talking about.

There are exactly 10 tentacles on that squid. Ten is correct. Know your cephalopods before you post.

Great shirt kid, keep it up.
