it reminds me of an ex of mine... but thats besides the point. Whats going on with the chainsaw?, where is the mechanics of the saw? A chain saw doesn't hel you to anything without the motor. Looks more like a club, and she more like a sexy cave vixen. Not my type of shirt, sorry.

Not my cup of tea. Nice artwork but it's kind of too large for the shirt.

Wow. A little harsh there, chimbleysweep? If you're not interested in reproducing minute detail in your designs, that's cool; it's your work. But you don't need to be nasty to people who do enjoy accuracy. HoffaTheToasterDog's comment was a lot more constructive than most of the ones you'll get here.

no it wasn't. if i was concentrating on minute detail i wouldnt be submitting my art to threadless...i see a lot of well detailed art get passed by because of other dumb reasons. if its not one thing, it will be something else...and for someone to complain about such small detail on someone else's art yet their own art doesnt follow that principle, i'm not going to see it as "constructive criticism".

Man, you are touchy.



And I fail to see how HoffaTheToasterDog isn't practising what he preaches. For instance, the lightbult on his "Bright" shirt features all the necessary parts of a lightbulb. It's got the bulb, the filament, the screwy bit, and is connected to a plug which will provide a source of power.



Your chainsaw, on the other hand, well, it's missing not just a tiny detail, but a vital part of what makes it a chainsaw. I don't see why it's not valid to point that out.



If you're going to go berserk every time someone mentions something even mildly negative about your work, you're not the sort of person who whould be putting their work up for critique. This site exists to RATE shirts, not fellate their designers.

your tshirts (yes, all of them) are the kind of shirts that people generally hate. cuz they are crap.



you're going to have to learn to take bad criticism. the internet is an unkind place.



toodles!

dude, calm done, I'm just saying its not a chain-saw... which it just isn't, a motorcycle without a motor is not a motorcycle its a bike, A plane without an engine is a glider, etc. And my vote wasn't actually based on that, I was just pointing it out. Take a breather.

I think it is cool concept... but the muscles she appears to have are kind of weird. She reminds me of a cavewoman.

thats the way shes supposed to look...shes not supposed to be some sexy little girl, so don't look at it that way.

Ya. um this is bad. WOW like mega garbage to the max times 12. Take a lif e drawing class, because the anatomy is soo bad. Oh and before you say "it's my style" style dosen't account for just horrid anatomy. The mid torso is cool. The face has toooooooooo much of an anime influence for the overall comic style. NO ONE HERE, probably knew it was a chainsaw until they read the submission name. The reason people point out the "techincal part" of the chainsaw thing is because it dosent look like one. There are weapons that have blades like that,

but knowing that wasen't what you were going for, it is good to point to show u how to make it look like a chainsaw. No one is going to look at the tag to find out.

IT'S A COMIC holy shit. its not supposed to be accurate in anatomy.



i can take it fine when people express opinions on things that are actual faults.



the only people who bitched at this submission are people who i commented to not likign their submissions, YOU included. so...whos the hypocrite?

Didnt "rag" on all your designs buddy. Infact I gave ur tree a 5. On top of that I didn't "rag" on anything. I gave u comments. Thats what these things are for, and if you could read and didnt only glance at only the first 2 lines of everthing I wrote, I gave you suggestions. Unlike what you did for me. You just made an ignorant comment on mine, thats all. I critique alot of work on threadless, and I dont hold back. You need to learn how to deal with critcism and take whatever it is you have lodegd up there out. If you don't you'll never progress.
TheEgg
TheEgg on Mar 10 '05
haha didnt read the dumb comment u made. Well, you left a childish comment, i wanted to see hwat makes you soo amazing. Also you must have gave bad comments to alot of people because no one here likes it. Oh, and saying anatomy dosnet matter in comics is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Im sure wolverine could walk fine with a knee cap like that.
chimbleysweep
chimbleysweep on Mar 10 '05
who said i was so amazing? because i sure didnt. a lot of people make 'childish' comments..most of which are joking. get over it.



i didnt say anatomy didnt matter in comics, of course it does, i said its not supposed to be ACCURATE, IE, its meant to be exaggerated for a reason and isnt supposed to look like a real life person in reply to someone else.



get off it and learn to read.

Every one is just giving you a hard time because your a self proclaimed "conceptual artist" (see her other designs) which means you should have been educated, yet the art you are presenting is not thought through. i'll put money down you just named it chainsaw to sound tough
chimbleysweep
chimbleysweep on Mar 10 '05
youre a fucking idiot...a self proclaimed militant athiest if i recall from another post. thats pretty tough.



you don't read things through..because i didn't call myself a conceptual artist. i called the ONE SPECIFIC DESIGN conceptual, so go re-read wherever the hell you read that and then lets talk.



i named it CHAINSAW because it was my intention for it to be a chainsaw, if it didnt come out that way (as others have stated) then oh well, poor on my part.



you're a bitch to everyone on this site and you have no reason to be. buzz off.
W.A.I.F.
W.A.I.F. on Mar 10 '05
militant athesit was a joke, and that shirt was offensive. portraying only naked women, and calling it the original sin.



I apologize for calling you a "conceptual artist" but the comment you made was saying that you shouldn't submit a conceptual piece to threadless, i read that as saying your art was to high for those who didn't appreciate or understand it. which it was pretty vague, so you shouldn't attack people for not understanding.



you have my apologies
chimbleysweep
chimbleysweep on Mar 10 '05
i wasnt attacking you, but i just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea and think that i'm trying to be pretentious because i want to do that the least. soo.



my apologies also.

love the syle of illustration, and have enjoyed reading the comments too... who needs WWF
TheEgg
TheEgg on Mar 11 '05
I phrased it wrong, "wanted to see what’s so amazing" was just a figure of speech, not that you actually said you were. I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear on that. But aside from that u need to go back and read all the comments i left. I was a little harsh on one or 2, but if you practice what you preach you would have took the good advice and, as you put it... “Get over it." because "a lot of people make 'childish' comments..most of which are joking."



Not to rub it in, but, who’s a hypocrite now

Wow, I really like it........ Only Joking. Thats not a chainsaw.

And i quote;



[if i was concentrating on minute detail i wouldnt be submitting my art to threadless...] Chimbleysweep 8 March.



The fact that you called it Chainsaw and it doesnt actually feature a chainsaw, isn't really a minute detail.



In reference to every comment page for every design you have submitted. You are really touchy. Did you think we would all like everything about your designs?



Now before you reply think about this - It is irrelevant if i have designed a shirt or not, the fact is I buy shirts from this site, Threadless is not based on designers alone but on consumers. There are many people who come on here because they like the idea of this site but are crap at designing. I am one of those. Maybe you should be that type of person too. Otherwise goodluck, keep designing and who cares if people like your designs or not, submit away, just don't expect any to be printed.

mr_criminal on Mar 12 '05
well, i didn't like it.

and i'll tell you why: the idea is pretty weak (bad girls ? what a clichée!). the drawing itself is HORRIBLE (in my point of view), there ain't no style, it looks totally cheap, and, besides, it's kinda oversized.



that's it.

The proportions and anatomy are crap, paticularly her belly/torso and legs. And those feet - gyuhhh.

I'm not feelin' a lot of love from a lot of these comments, how 'bout we all just settle down for a nice group hug....aww wasn't that nice?



Now for the shirt. I don't see why everyone hates it so much, the girl isn't that badly drawn, mainly what takes away from it for me is the non-chainsaw looking chainsaw, and if it ever got printed make it a little smaller.

wow... and you say that women are too often portrayed as objects???

Well i must say this design really gives the power to the woman... does not portray her as just a body in any way... just look how her clothing is ripped and strategically placed over her sexual parts. Oh and how tastefully thin her waist is and large her breasts are. No. she won't be lusted after at all, but respected for her strength and chainsaw.

stfu flower. there's a difference between being portrayed as an object...like one tshirt "put a bag on it" whereas the message is the woman is just a sex object, a body with a BAG OVER THEIR HEAD.



this does NOT portray any objectification.



youre telling me if you had a good body, youd walk around in a long sleeve turtle-neck and long slacks?



first of all its a cartoon character with no realistic characteristics let alone objectified traits.



dont look for arguements.



vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 14 '05
you keep saying you don't want to hear about the minute details and stuff, but that's what people don't like about it(other than the suckiness) so maybe that's what you should consider changing, so you don't get low scores.
sushifairy
sushifairy on Mar 14 '05
Wow, these comments rock.



Just one thing - in your reply to flowerinweeds, are you suggesting that all women who have good bodies must naturally want to walk around in next to nothing?



Regardless, your pic has great potential, it just needs some tweaking. Good luck.
