About my design

by van
It's about that.. magical bond with our ape brethren! Yeah I don't know what it's about really, but I can pretend.

Haha, for the first time, I think I'd want that text on the shirt.

Get rid of the heart. I have seen way to many tees with hearts on them. But just the monkey with wings looks cool.

hearts are overused, but in this case i think the hear adds to the shirt.

Eff'n GLORIOUS! The color scheme works beautifully as well. Also, depending on the maxi pad, sometimes GIRLS can have wings. Therefore, this must be a she-ape. 5 & buy.

really well done artwork. I really dig the destroyed appearance of the gorilla. And the word simian has always been a favorite of mine. Although i'd rewrite the text a bit before placing it on the design, it'd be nice if it were included. Overall, a standout. And the heart, it def. works in this design!

i think the illustration is BEAUTIFUL in its simplicity . . . i don't know that the heart is really necessary but i don't think that it really hurts the design either . . . i just question why it doesn't have the same distressed look as the winged primate? and if you did included the text, which i think would be cool you could put it on back between the shoulder blades so it doesn't distract from the illustration.

keep the heart, but texture it same as the ape, it looks odd this way

I've got no problem with the heart. Sure, there are a lot of them here at threadless, but heh....you don't have to buy a shirt if you don't like it.



I love the look of this. The wide, empty eyes. And you used the word "simian."



Ahhh...



I'm approaching T-Shirt Nirvana.

killerxcore on Jan 06 '05
awesome graphic. i think the heart could stay if you textured it the same way as the ape.. and as someone else said, if you include the text, put it on the sleeve. im still going to give this a 5 though... i love it.

dig it totally. even though i hate haerts. it's very cool! keep up!
takethetrain
takethetrain on Jan 07 '05
i like the illustration--with the heart--but is the "worn out" look really necessary? i mean, threadless shirts aren't super high quality anyway, so after a few washes that's what it'll look like..
sitka
sitka on Jan 07 '05
Get rid of the heart and I agree with putting the text on the back

Ditch the heart or make it look stippled like the monkey. Either way, really liking it.

I just can't like monkeys. Its against my nature. Its a long story. :(
whimsybatt
whimsybatt on Jan 07 '05
I adore it because it's like the flying monkeys from the wizard of ozz. The ape looks like it needs goggles, though.
mahkydpandaw005
mahkydpandaw005 on Jan 07 '05
is it just me or does on back leg look like it's on it's knuckles and the other back leg is on it's palm, that should be fixed. at first before reading the thing i thought of monkey love

Very nice design. It's not something i'd wear, though (just not my thing).

Awesome shirt. I would definitely buy it, but it's a tad girly for guys. Cool design.



Where did you download the template of the shirt?

Real funky idea. Five and Buy. Great text, I loved it. Put it on the sleeve and ditch the heart. It takes away fromthe coolness of the winged-gorilla.

Where'd that heart come from? 4 with the heart. 5 +buy without the heart.

I agree that adding the text to the shirt and getting rid of the heart would be great! Yay for the wizard of oz!
stamanfar
stamanfar on Jan 09 '05
you def need the text, and the sleeve would be great... also the back wing looks a bit like a hand to me... maybe some tweeking... or whatever it is you designer folk do... but i want it... its great x

lovedupp on Jan 09 '05
This would be about 100 times better without the heart. Also, maybe go a little bit less aggro with the faux-vector grainy effect. If you want to emulate a photocopier or whatever, I think you should just use a photocopier. They don't have to be vector images on here, do they? Also, one last note: the left wing (the creature's left wing)--I want to see it a little more pronounced and rounded. Like the other one.



Other than that, I think it has potential.

minus the heart. too many damn hearts on everything!!!

I dont wanna be a care bear when I grow up...

invincible whale
invincible whale on Jan 10 '05
Yes! Please, more winged monkeys ala Wizard of Oz style. Leaving out the heart would be good I think. And also, perhaps maybe a black ink option? The text is clutch too.
