About my design
by jonhillier   
Leonardo was always the clever turtle, and he had a great sword. But very few people know about his life in renaissance Florence.

Comments welcome. I didn't quite know what colour shirt to put this on, but as its only three colours, it could be easily adapted to any colour.

you could even go without the banner and words altogether... i think the people who are gonna get it will get it whether the explanation is there or not, and i think it would be much more clever without it. cool idea.

I'd buy it if it included all the artists the turtles are named after were on it.

Your idea is good, but I'm not a fan of the excution as a whole--I go with itsjustluck--if you had all four with just the colored face masks, or left the banner off...I'm more about shirts people need to take a look at twice to get...

But but but but... Donatello was the clever one.

I agree with the suggestions of losing the text. I think since Leonardo is the most recognisable of the four, it's best to concentrate on him (as you have done) rather than all four. The idea is good, but I think it would be better if it looked less cartoony, and more like Leonardo's original self-portraits.

anders, I believe raphael was the crazy hyper one, not the clever one.
I had considered putting the other artists on, but they just weren't as recognisable as Leonardo's famous self portrait. Thanks for the comments.

i second travis76.

also - i like it as s - 3$ - but if the eyes were less typical cartoon and more like the turtles (entirely white and triangular), 4$... but i could be wrong, that could just make it creepy.

and while i think hating text is entirely too "trendy" here, in this case, it is better without it.

I dont really think it needs turtle text. I think with the eye mask and name most people can figure it out as the turtles are pretty popular.

I don't like replying to comments on my own stuff, but just to let you know, I've submitted some new versions of this taking into account your comments. Less cartoony eyes and the other artists etc... they look better than this version I feel.

I died when I saw this shirt. I'd buy it with or without the text, but don't muck it up by adding the other artists/turtles. Especially don't add Michealangelo, because he didn't get along with Da Vinci and nobody wants an artist brawl!
