About my design
by Jaycee
the penguin's not perfect. it took forever and i still don't like it too much... but hey. also, i might add ripples in the reflection bits where the penguin slid across but i'm not sure about that yet...

That's right. You're going deeper into your cave. And you're going to find your power animal...

Nice idea and well executed, though you are rtight, the penguin needs a bit of work to come off as realistic as the signs.

Good idea! Just fix the penguin but you already know that. And I'm assuming "Please wait for a detailed version..." is coming off.

It says "please wait for a detailed version..." because it switches between full shirt and close-up of the penguin.
I love this. I would definately buy it, even with the unrealistic penguin.
$5.

I think the "slippery when wet" sign should have a picture of a penguin on it.

Well done.

i was thinking of the penguin on the SWW signs, but thought that makbe that would be slightly too obvious.

as far as the penguin, i'll probably flatten his belly off a bit so it looks like he's actually resting or sliding on it, but otherwise i'm still not sure. that might be all it takes.

thanks everyone so far :D

that's remind me about that game "smashing the penguin"; don't need another pinguin; just that I dislike the "human icon" on the warning sign. but I like the ideea.

Fix the penguin and I would buy it (even if there are too many damned penguin t-shirts on this site, this one has a Fight Club reference and that's freakin sweet)

You should never state the negatives about the art you do. Even though, deep inside you feel the penguin is not quite right, don't mention it. Which brings me to a question; if you feel that the penguin is not right, and there is no deadline, why bother posting it if you feel you can do better.

Only submit the best, if the best can't be done due to deadlines, hand in what you got and cross your fingers nobody spots what needs to be fixed.

Great job on the signs, looks very realistic.

I think there should be a penguin on the sign and I think the penguin would look better if you made the white belly-part into a simple half-oval, rather than giving it the same contour as the neck. Either that or bring the white part all the way to the beak.

This is an excellent illustration. With a little work it should score really well. Don't pay attention to 'ruen'. In this environment it is perfectly ok to submit a work in progress if you're not sure what's wrong with it. That's what the comments are for. Many heads are better than one.

very nice idea, but i agree the penguin needs work. you can never have too much reference material.

one suggestion - i dont think you need the 'slippery when wet' text. it doesnt really detract from the design at all, but i got the joke before i read it.

I think having "slippery when wet" on the sign is good, but leave the sign with the penguin off it; as you say, it would look too obvious, and it works well the way it is. Def $.

this reminds me of slip and slide from back in the day...

The problem with the penguin is its chin/neck. It should be a bit rounder; the penguin looks anorexic as it is. So cute, though! (What's all of this Fight Club stuff, b/t/w? Was there a penguin in Fight Club? Wait -- is Brad Pitt a penguin? Be honest.)

Jaycee on May 09 '05
the fight club thing is from the name. there's a penguin in fight club that tyler imagines, and it says "Slide".

slip and slide just reminds me of the song by Kosheen...

very nice! gimme one! i hope you'll resubmit with the penguin changes you've mentioned... same color shirt, same everything else.

The penguin looks a bit like a deflated balloon. However, with a bit of tweaking, I would definitely buy this!

5$ for now just because I'm feeling oddly generous :)

i won't be resubmitting, but i will make the changes (and/or let threadless proffesionals do it ;)) if it goes to print.

Very cute (I love fight club!), but there needs to be more of a suggestion of movement. I thought the penguin was just laying there when I first looked at it.
