Hey guys, this is my first submission. I was really tempted to add "Parking Lots & Broken Hearts" to the final design, but I scratched it at the last second. This design can go on just about any colored shirt except for red, orange or scarlet because of the blood. Let me know what you guys think!

I think I'd lose the blood. Without it it would be verry funny, the deep sorrow of not being able to find your car.

With the blood, I think it looks as if the nice, sad little man has been shot in the parking lo.

okay. a few weeks ago it was funny to see so much blood and hearts but now its just ridiculous.

_Wheels03 on Mar 16 '05

Man, three posts and I'm already being hated on. I was hoping I could at least get to 5 comments without getting negative feedback, but I guess it's come to surprise me early. I'm deeply sorry for offending you with the use of blood (I'm not seeing any hearts), please accept my apology. Be on the lookout for my next submission, I promise it has no blood or hearts of any kind! :P

I like the shirt. But I agreem lose the blood. Also, I would use the character with the black outline & keep it filled with white (so you can't see the parking lines through him/her). Make a few tweaks & you might come up with a good score.

5 and buy!

xiaodihdih on Mar 17 '05

i think it could work without coloring on the lines... but te blood is kinda freaky. very nice though...

The Red Star on Mar 17 '05

I would like to see it on the actual template, right now it looks seperated from the shirt. And don't add the alternative colors on the side unless I can change the color of the shirt with them, otherwise I don't care what the possiabilites might be.

Onward to Utopia on Mar 17 '05

i like it, but the blood is hard to see on the pink

Msaberration on Mar 17 '05

I love it just the way it is. $ 5

:)

le poisson tranquille on Mar 17 '05

This guy's expression is great. I'd like to see it w/o the blood, but I think having him transparant is fine. <3

Fruit_inc on Mar 17 '05

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

blolly on Mar 17 '05

Point about the blood, I just like the concept better if the guy's sad about not being able to find his car. Still excellent either way.

Autodafe on Mar 17 '05

amnesiac?

green jellybean on Mar 17 '05

i love this shirt, i would absolutely buy one, in fact id buy two so i could wear one and then when it gets dirty, wear the other. 5, hands down

punk_prodigy on Mar 18 '05

I'd like it a lot more if the body wasn't transparent, the blood would show up a lot better that way too.

FakePlasticEarth on Mar 18 '05

Maybe make the body opaque, and instead of blood, just put a hole in his chest. Other than that, I love it.

Negetron on Mar 18 '05

Yeah, if you put a heart shaped hole through his chest you could still piss people off who like to complain about hearts and blood.

Great design. 5

Jellydog on Mar 18 '05

Without the blood, I'd buy it.

studbudsam on Mar 18 '05

I'd buy it if it were a different color.

Nessus on Mar 19 '05

very nice idea. And your little character is very cute. I agree that it should be opaque on the body, and i'm not too fussed about the blood, the expression in the character's eyes and the pose shows more about the feeling than the blood does.

5 for now, maybe a $ if it were tweaked ;)

nonstop_movement on Mar 19 '05

i'd buy this wih a few improvements made fom above. lose the blood...it already has enough feeling. and no pink shirt please..haha.

_Wheels03 on Mar 19 '05

Alrighty, I'm getting ready to start revising this shirt. Here's a list of everything that needs to be improved:

*opaque body
*no blood
*different shirt color

You guys are ultimately the deciding factor as to what color this design is put on, so I need some input on what color would look the best. Thanks again for all the feedback, negative and positive!

Natashalicious on Mar 20 '05

I really the blood and the whole thing. If shows emotion.

Vadersville on Mar 20 '05

You really what???

emmi on Mar 20 '05

i would loose the yellow lines...then i would buy it. 3

number49 on Mar 20 '05

you cant lose the yellow lines...thats the POINT

but anyhow, i wouldnt wear this solely because i live in a town with at least 4 gunshot deaths in parking lots a year. id perfer not to advertise that. so lose the blood (as most all of people are saying) and ill totally buy

_Wheels03 on Mar 20 '05

Alright, I'm debating whether or not I should add a hollow heart shape instead of blood. I'll be sure to post some pics of a few different variations, so be sure to check back here soon!

_Wheels03 on Mar 20 '05

Okay, here are three variations of this design. The background color is just to give you guys an idea of what the hollow heart design would look like. Take a look!

Example One (opaque body with lines)

Example Two (hollow heart with lines)

Example Three (hollow heart without lines)

Tshirtwhore on Mar 21 '05

well i like the t shirt more than the desgin...make a shirt with that T shirt image! i would soo buy it! I like it buy 5

evildaemonlady on Mar 21 '05

I really like the third example just for its simplicity. It would look really good on a lt. blue babydoll in the lower left corner, i think. The first Example is great too, if you are dead set on keeping those lines. The second (with the heart and lines) is just a tad too busy for my liking but I really like the concept of the shirt and would deinately buy one.

5$

ILikeRandomThings on Mar 21 '05

in green or grey it'd b awesome....its so cute an so sad at the same time.....5 an buy

entereidolon on Mar 21 '05

is the blob chubbier in your submission (compared to your revisions)? i like him chubbier, he's cuter that way.

anyways, i like the parking lines for some reason. keep em. and he looks better with the black outline. just lose the blood and its a buy for sure!

mr.ben on Mar 22 '05

Most excellent. The subtle expression on the low grade graphic is appreciated. Good use of lines. The far left parking line guides the eye's to the focus point.

! on Mar 22 '05

i like all the variations. you can't go wrong with this one. i think i like the hollow heart with lines the best, or the original with the blood. i would like it on a green shirt. $5 and buy!!

AsmodeousJones on Mar 22 '05

I really love example 2, and the blue is perfect. Without the blood I'd definitely buy this!

The name of the shirt sounds like a record from some Vagrant emo band...

Alex M. Solefish on Mar 22 '05

your shirt somehow surprised me.
kenno1981 made me laugh.

i felt a little confused...maybe the character's confusion rubbed off on me. i'm good with the blood, but i wish the character's outline was just solid black. if it's white outlined in black (the outline), it seems too busy to me, coupled with the blood splatter.

_Wheels03 on Mar 22 '05

Alright guys, so far I'm getting a lot of positive feedback for sad guy with opaque body, no blood while keeping the yellow lines on a light blue shirt. I'm just trying to get a list of what everyone wants so I can come back with an awesome revision. Hurry up, you've got about an hour left !
