even though it's a nice saying.....take off the text.

leave the text!

Keep the text, but make the word bubble wrap around it more closely. The extra space on the top and bottom is annoying.

I like it except the CONTENT of the text. Maybe something that doesn't sound so pretentious, like "I can totally beat you up" or something that makes no sense like "get watermelon to lick coffee mug Florida"

the message is the most important part.

Really? then get a writer to conjure up some good messages to put on t-shirts. You draw; they write

Hey now. That's kind of cool. $.

Sweet lord, what a beautiful idea. I'm not too keen on the speech bubble. I think the image speaks for itself. But if you must have the text, then the bubble has to be condensed or colored differently. While it does draw the eye upward, the huge blob of light color takes too much attention away from the rose.

I like this. 5

that thing with roots growing out of its eyes creeps me out. I don't feel positive about the shirt meaning with that creepy feeling.

oh, sheez, is that supposed to be a dead deer? I thought it was a blobby thing with the back feet at the bottom right, roots coming out the eyes, and a little "o" mouth, a fin for a hand, and a couple ponytails blowing in the wind. I am totally serious.

This design has SO much potential and is a genius concept. However, I found it rather difficult to tell that it was a deer. It looked like a ghost-thing, especially thanks to the perspective angle. I like the angle because it's different and original, it just needs a bit of tweaking.

Are you a panthiest?

eist

yes.

i also thought that howlynart. very creepy when you first see it and think it is eyes bleeding upwards or something. beautiful idea though, now that i see what it actually is...

i have no idea what the picture is of, but it doesn't matter.... the word bubble sells it for me. $5

it took me a minute to see what this was. at first i thought it was a fish with some type of veins coming out of its eyes

twniehaus, is this supposed to be a deer? I didn't think it was. I like the image. Quite nice. While the text and the speech bubble look good I'm not into the message.

the text is kind of redundant.. A different but complementary message would be great.

liquidsasquatch's idea for the bubble is funny.."I can totally beat you up" but I think that goes against your concept. I know you want your saying in there but I think the way you have it distracts from the whole picture. Maybe you could work it somehow into or near the antlers or on the left side of the image being uttered out of the deers's mouth in a sad font or foam from the mouth or even blood. You need to make the type work with your very nicely rendered high concept art, not against it.

bla...blaa..bla...bla...bla..bla...blaa.....bla...bla....bla....bla.....bla...bla...bla....bla....blaaa....bllaa.....blaaa.....bla....blaa.....bla....bla...blaa...bla.blahh.... Nice art 5+$.

I think it's a really good idea, although as it's been said, I would make the speach bubble fit the text more. And also, the ground looks a little uneven, like it's slanting to the left. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but you might want to consider making it even. Other than that, it's awesome!

Are you guys freakin kidding me! This blows hardcore. Not only is it stupid and not that well done but he just married two other designs!

$0.

because it has similar elements?
i know ilia and i dont think he would agree.
it is a completely different message.
my message is mainly a pantheistical shaped one,
ilias message, if i may interpret, was one of revenge/irony/animal rights, and Grab Ahold Of Life is one of survival, if i am allowed to guess.
don't reach for something to insult just to be an asshole.
and i understand that I should generally just disreguard your comment because you most likely have little experience in art, but the way you were so rude kind of pissed me off.
And when you say "its stupid" it makes you sound like a a 4 year old.
oh and, youd buy this, but you give it a zero...
do you have downs?

you dont see many philosophical spuds these days

Great concept. I'd buy this in a heartbeat. $5

Keep the text, loose the bubble

Off with its text.

it took me a while to realize it was a dead buck and not some strange floating monster.


otherwise..not bad

Make it so it doesnt look like a weird blob attached to the roots of that rose.

its beautiful. im not one to rag on text, i always like text, but for this particular image i think it speaks for itself. but its good either way, just the dear needs more definition. ($5 with the tweaking..)

ugh, lose the text.
love the concept though.

> yes.

:)
