About my design

by d3d   
It's just black and white on any colour, but i posted the ones i think look best. Reds also look good but people seem to hate red shirts. Any Mythbusters fans should see where the inspiration came from. Kari Byron rules the universe. Like it isn't enough that she's the most beautiful girl on tv, she's also a really cool sculptor.

How come her face is all black? At first I thought she had a curtain hanging over her face, and then I 'realized' (if I'm even right - maybe I'm wrong!) that it is her hair swinging, and the black area was her face... is that right? I'm a little confused, I guess. I'd like it better if the 'face' area wasn't solid black.

Since I'm unfamiliar with the inspiration

for this design, let me tell you my impression

when looking at this design.



It looks like some woman has Wolverine's

claws and might use them to cut the strings

to the marionette she is holding -or- she is

involved in a weird dance.



Were you trying to make the puppet

resemble a naked black man?

Well... I like your illustration style and I freaking love the wings, but I'm not a big fan of the little guy, the wolverine claws, or the concept behind this design.

Oh... and her boobs and head are ginormouse compared to her waist and legs.... being a girl who doesn't have those proportions, I wouldn't wear this shirt. :)

hate the wolvereen fingers & I agree on the black face its too much, I do like the style but needs tweaked a little.

My only complaint is with the little naked puppet guy. Being a geek girl, I can't quite see what's up with that. But I like her, and I'm likin' the Wolverine claws. And the tribal wing pattern.



4. Possibly a $5 if it didn't have the creepy naked guy. But a 4 as-is.

Awesome illustration, but like TeresaM, me being a girl of not those preportions, I couldn't wear it. I'm still in love with those wings though.

This is spectacular on the moroune--leave the "gay" tribal thing there wings and they're rad. I would agree with expunging the wolvereen claws. other than that--rock on

The illustration is fantastic. I'm not sure about the deep burgundy color, though... I love it though, total eye-candy to me. $5.

That's a really nice design work, and it takes on a completely different look imagining it with the black & white on the various colors. Good work.

I would prefer this design without the claws and marionette, but I absolutly love the wings and the illustration and would buy this shirt. $5

i'm agreeing with the leg comments...they look to small/thin for the skirt, give her some more beef on her thighs and just a lil bit on the calves. also would like to see the boots without a cuff on them, they look a lil too pirate for me (and pirates are starting to get overdone too).

While I don't fully understand the marionet, I can see why she's called a Geek Goddess ;) The proportions, the Wolverine claws, etc. Definitely a geek's fantasy.

i like the style of the wings... and the overall stype of the image. but, her outfit, fishnets, with a lace trim skrit? hmm... a little too much.

   d3d on Sep 22 '05
she's dressed as she appeared in the photo i used for reference, so i take no offense at your disapproval of her outfit, including the claws. and Kari Byron is a sculptor. The puppet is one of her dolls. Thanks everyone for not understanding in the slightest, especially SoFarAway who couldn't even read the title.

actually forgive my bitter outburst. i should have realised when submitting it that it meant more to me than it would to the average voter. my mistake.

Love the shirt, but like the rest of the world I just didn't get the puppet.

I'd personally like to see a nice a NES contoller or maybe a twenty sided die.

That'd REALLY be a "Geek Goddess."

And, unlike TeresaM, since my girlfriend does have those proportions, I'd definetly consider buying it for her.

This is a great design. I don't understand all the comments about not having her proportions - who cares? It's a cool shirt. Based on a really cool girl. Great work. 5$

This is a sweet shirt cuz she has anmantium claws. And everyone in there right mind knows wolverine claws can either make or break a design, and this my old friend, makes it. BERSERKER BARAAAGE!!, remember wolverine said that in the marvel vs capcom.

I'm afraid you'll take offense, but here goes:

It's a good design. I definetly see where you're going with it. The outfit doesn't bother me so much, but I'm with the majority with the claws and tribal background.

But the thing is, I've been friends with Kari for a few years...my husband has known her for a lot longer than that. I don't think of Kari when I see this. I don't get where the claws come in. I do see why you used the puppet in regards to her personal art.

I think when people who know Kari think of her, they think of her smile and out-going personality. When I see this, it looks like a random goth emo girl to me.

in case anyone ever reads this, the claws actually existed. she wore them in a mythbusters episode and used them to burst balloons until Scottie found it more effective to destroy balloons by breathing fire on them. and for the record she was dressed in an outfit much like what i've drawn.

yeah, just seen this episode today. Clocked the design straight off. Yep, that'd be a cool t-shirt. Claws, skirt, boots... heaven.



Yes, we are all truly marionettes for the Goddess' amusement.



Love on you Kari,

I don't think the tribal design looks gay. I think the whole shirt looks cool. It has kind of a cartoony look to it. It looks sexy. Like Kari herself. Threadless really ought to put that design in their catalog. I don't know why they haven't already.
