Driving For Ideas

About the design

Submitted by showcorvettelove on April 4, 2005

I think of a lot of my ideas when driving, so I wanted to design something dealing with that theme.

number4

I kike the design, I would just work on the lighbulb.

KEMMLER

and the exhaust

eh i dont think there is anything wrong with the exhaust. i had the light bulb in yellow and matching the look of the car, but other people said it was too distracting (and too many colors for threadless) so thats why i went with this as a final. people liked this best.

Miura SV

I like the Stingray Vette but its like there are two completely separate designs on the shirt. They just dont gell well together.

Rise_of_emp

the car is cool.. the rest of it is a completely differant style and pretty much ruins the shirt.

joeynotjoe

no matter how good the car drawing is, i wouldn't wear a shirt with this on it, sorry.

showcorvettelove
Artist

yeah i wouldnt wear it either.. but then again i wouldnt wear anything right now in the contest. its more about answering this "theme" not about "wearability". its about both, but more one than the other. in my opinion.

showcorvettelove
Artist

actually, i would wear it. bc im proud of it. :)

Kinnerean

too many colors

showcorvettelove
Artist

huh? if it were too many colors it wouldnt have gotten put up

Remster

So you draw a Corvette with a lightbulb behind it. And that's supposed to make sense? NOT! 0

i can take constructive critisism. what i can't take is when people are just flat out dicks. you would have pissed me off .. but then i looked at your submissions and realized you were the retard who drew the michael jackson looking douche bag and the stripper who looks like a fuckin troll. so your comments mean nothing to me.

Remster

Haha, thanks for making me laugh today, buddy. And I know it's not true, you would've kept your pie-hole shut otherwise. And I wasn't even aware of the fact that you're the one that bashed my submissions for no good reason. So you really made my day. Now shut up and goabd try to make something good, little puppy.

Showcorvettelove, don't listen to him. Your designs are way better!

evilina

sorry, it's just ugly.

Economos

the car is beautiful. awesome. great work. i don't like the lightbulb style of drawing. maybe you could have the corvette on a windy road going through the mountains or something. shrug.

TitanTackle66

sorry.. but i like it. The corvette is pretty much perfect and i think its a good concept. Nice Job 5$

contralacalle

Sjeez, I don't see how you can burn Remster's designs down. It's so clear that you just took a picture of a corvette and traced it, whereas he comes with some original art. So better don't quit your day-job, I'm giving this a zero because it's highly unoriginal, but moreover because you seem to think you can make your stupid scribblings look better by burning other people's work down. Way to go, hotshot!

Jericho

Black, white, several red and greys, the shadow color... I don't know if Threadless puts dithering in their designs but they'd have to for this to work, like Kinnerean says.

Anyway not a bad design at all, 4.

rrist

contralacalle.. he was rude to me, and i defended myself. . if that's being a hot shot and "burning" people's work down, then im proudly guilty of both. i also dont care if you give me a zero. if you think that is supposed to "show me who's boss", then better luck next time. i dont plan on quitting my day job. it pays well.

maybe you should let me critique your work since you are so keen to critique mine.. as well as my life and personality. im glad you think you know me so well.

also, im pretty sure its common to trace things in illustrator.

showcorvettelove
Artist

anyway -- thanks to all for bad (but constructive) critisism as well as those of you who liked it. as for people who are just mean.. its a good thing i believe in karma.

contralacalle

You believe in karma? It seems like you also believe in using different aliases. What's up with that? Afraid people won't vote on your submissions enough? If you do believe in Karma, you shouldn't do those things and rather focus on making better stuff. I don't care if you feel insulted or mistreated, as far as I can tell you're the one who set the guy up first, so don't come whining afterwards if other people stick up for it. And yes, you can trace in Illustrator, but it would be cooler if you'd actually draw something yourself, rather than re-doing what's been done over and over again. Feel proud about yourself all you want, I think it's just sad.

showcorvettelove
Artist

i have two screen names, yes. thats obvious since i posted from both. but i also saw that you have two as well. some how contralacalle is always defending Remster. coincidence? doubt it.

i'm sure my two votes for myself is really gonna put me to #1.
rolls eyes

put your money where your mouth is bucko. either show some of your designs or shut the fuck up.

vadi_1999

It totally blows. Submissions like this make me wonder why I can't vote negative.

elasticx

the car is great. I couldn't do better, even in illustrator. Your self-defense makes me think that you just need to cool down. A little laid back never hurt anybody.

The lightbulb is where the problems begin. A lightbulb is the absolutely most pervasive and unoriginal symbol of an idea. You should go for a drive and rethink how to put that accross in an original manner. The exhaust doesn't do a thing for me either.

I give it a 3.

showcorvettelove

elasticx... obviously this is my first time submitting ideas on threadless, and i was taken back by the lack of professionalism many of these people have here. i was taught to never bash someones work.. and i just find it rude when someone bashes mine (esp. if they aren't a good designer).

having said that, i appriciate your constructive critisism. i was going to have a collage of ideas instead of a lightbulb-- but heaven forbid anyone think i was copying off of Kemmler (which might i add, would never happen).

showcorvettelove
Artist

also, i dont see the problem with the exhaust? looks to match the car to me .. unless you are talking about the smoke/curly lines stuff.

m.d.s.r.l-e

i love corvette's i love this shirt man i love you too good effin job.
-M.E.D

natural_body_armor

don't like it at all... cool car, but the rest of it looks like you didn't spend any time at all on it. There should be smoke coming out! what is that black ugliness?

Did you steal the car from somewhere else?

henryclucks

I like the car but not the lightbulb (inclusion of it, it looks cool though)

_chantilly

the part you've got coming out of the exhaust looks like something i doodle a lot. but i dont really like how you did it. i like how i do it better.
but its your design.

hongkongphooey

i had to read the title to understand it. and no. i especially dont like the outline of the lightbulb. and the exhaust bothers me. and i dont really like cars on my t shirts.

ruen

heh......hha...the drama, the drama. Anyways, regardless of all the negative things said by some people, i like it. Its not a 5, and its not what i would wear, but i do like the car. The bulb? You already heard what others have said. It clashes with the car, it looks like clip art. You should've had the fumes coming out from the exhaust form a light bulb. It would be subtle and more effective. Just my thoughts. Good work!
