About the design

Submitted by jonhillier on June 20, 2005

One of my earlier submissions was similar to this, but with just leonardo's portrait. It was suggested that I might try a similar design but with all of the turtles/artists.



Comments appreciated. In case you were wondering, the "purple" on the right hand side is just cross hatching of the red and blue. Damn 4 colour limit heh...

Muuch better.

i like it a bunch. the white doesnt work for me, but it wont affect how I score. I'm hoping it will change if it gets printed.

turkeymonkey

yeah, good job. i like it. very silly.

little_hobbit_feet

That be five colours, says I.
Unless the purple is made up of tiny lines of blue and red.
Which is possible.
Too bad you can't have the heads white on a green shirt.

krebscout

blast that four color limit! surely they would make an exception for this: this is genius. much more tempting than your last leonardo submission. i would buy this without hesitation.

Kallen

is better, but try just 1 at a time. that was working. this seems a bit full on the shirt. just leo pls

fktubby

I adore the concept, but it's frustratingly limited by the colours. White shirts, for me, are nevre attractive and the purple, I imagine, looks less good than the other colours.
Damned arbitary colour limits.

You could use a blue or purple shirt (or orange or red...) and save a color. Might look okay.

magpie blue

I like, but I feel like the illustration style is a bit different between the four figures.

sauterelle

Great job. The headbands are so narrow that the ink limitation doesn't really thwart you too much -- you get the idea across just fine, and people will clearly see that it's Donatello before they get close enough to notice any hatching. Plus, your positioning of the faces works nicely. In closing, I want this shirt immensely.

chocolate girl to the rescue

yeh, this is a whole lot better.

hmmm... not sure about the white though - doesn't really work for me.
argh 4 colour limitations! well... don't worry about that! just try it white on green anyway, then give us a look??

yeh, great concept though!

jazzs3quence

i definately dig all four. i still think this should be on a green shirt, white faces be damned.

Xrissy

maybe not have the black outline and have everyone outlined in the color of their mask or mix it up... ?

batbanana

yep, dude. fix the colours. and make the t-shirt not white.

and then i REALLY hope you get printed. such a"why didn't I think of that??" idea. good job.

_milk

so cool.

This is the best Tshirt design EVAR. The four color limit is unfortunate. I hope Threadless bends the rules when they make this a design, because I know they will make this a design, because it is simply too friggin awesome NOT to be a Threadless design.

icki

this must happen,. it's such a good idea that i'd wear it in white if i had to.

GVLaker09

This is a great idea. I'd buy it as is, but I wish I could see the Donatello mask up close. Brilliant. I'd buy it for sure.

RaeKuusou

such a great idea!

curse the four color limit!

but....i'd probably get it anyway and wear it in white. ;)

I must admit, it looks so much better on a green background.
But the different background inevitably meants that there are more colours... and I'm not sure that the threadless crew will stretch to 6. Anyway, for those that requested it, here it is.

Aldrinnn

this is such an awesome shirt 555

ponyshow

ooh damn that limit. it looks so good with 6 colors.

and kudos to you for taking everyone's suggestions and resubmitting so quickly.

jesamin

Different color shirt and I'd totally buy it.

GreenEggs

AWESOME! 4 color limit be damned, this looks flippin INCREDIBLE on green like you did it! and regarding the aforementioned "different art styles" on each of the artists' portraits, i believe he said in the first submission that he was going to do each portrait in that artist's style. and may I be the first to say that you pulled off each style quite well. congratulations! 5$.

chbeeston

Wow SOOO much better without the name. And having all four of them is great. Awesome job, I hpoe it wins.

pink_lynz

The beard on the second one looks very different from the other three, but this is a great improvement on your other design!

//_bren

i like t his a lot.

i'm with whoever said it above:
print it on red, lose the red bandana (?) and then you could colour in the purple one.

five and a buy.

ecstasy

oh yes, $5

sauterelle

You know, the more I look at this the more I really -like- the white. It's subtler than green would be, and it fits better with the drawing style you used. Hell, I'm just justifying this because I like the shirt so much. :) Best of luck.

arexkun

<3 This. Threadless, it looks so much better with the 6 colors, break your rule for once. D:

origamiT

Curses, man! Single Leo Da Vinci was like money in the bank. Thats right, a bank full of money! If you're up for submitting a third time, leave Leo alone and big it up.

NeoDreamer

Leonardo is more feathered than the others. I would still buy this shirt though.

amishtek

I noticed that too, neodreamer.

I just assumed he took a lot of time of Leonardo in his first submission, and since this one is made afterwards, he didnt take as much time with the other heads, or used a different size tool.

If this gets printed, maybe redo Leonardo to match the other heads.

dojo_chemeleon

i think if you added something with their weapons to help differentiate you could add a lot to this.

Kasai

Love it. Wish you could stretch it to 6 colors, but would buy anyway. :D

dnd

i want this shirt!!!

koo_koo_maroo

$5 X 1000000 cuz ninja turtles rocks

thatsnotnormal

concept is gold
the design could be done better

arildg

4, and $5 with a few minor changes.... Liked the idea someone had about making the shirt "turtles green", and perhaps split them up (one tee each)... But the possibility for printing all is probably pretty slim, so I would choose Leonardo, as I guess he is the easiest to recognize.

tigerlilley

This shirt is awesome. The name "Heroes in an art shell" is a pretty darn hilarious title if you ask me.

snah_

Loving it, everything about it, witty and well executed

Design

I liked your origional but im mad for this. Superb. $5

Trashcan

i'd love to see them in action poses armed nunchaku paint brushes!

snah_

Please print this on bright purple or bright green. or just print it, please!
