Ok, I hope this hasn't been done -- I took a look through past submissions and didn't find anything exactly like this, so... fingers crossed. Drawn from scratch, no ripping off people's photos or art. Hahaha between the blog forum and the rip-off artists (intentional or otherwise) I'm now a bit paranoid.

4 colors: blue, green, white and red. The boyfriend's shirt is meant to be the same color as the t-shirt, etc.

i like it :)
the shades on the guy are a nice touch. if that light green is a color choice that's the one i'd go with.
good luck!

This could probably use a better title -- even "My Girlfriend's A Gorgon" is better than what I came up with when I submitted. I thought about something like "Problematic" or "But I Love Her Anyway" or something. I dunno. Am bad with the titles. Anyway. :)

I'd like it better if she had normal legs and her hair was just made of snakes. Then it would be a 5$

isn't a gorgon one of those rock people off of zelda.
if so it doesn't match the title. maybe it is goron not sure.

Greek Mythology:

The Gorgons are three sisters, daughters of ancient, pre-titan gods, Phorkys and Keto (Ceto). The sisters Sthenno and Euryale were immortal but the third, Medusa, was mortal. All three were so hideous, the shock of seeing them would turn anyone to stone. Medusa is called The Gorgon or simply, Gorgon.

simple search gave that^ info.
nice shirt

lol except if it were tom and katie then he'd be half her size.
maybe katie does have scales underneath her clothes. who knows.
not a zelda shirt. though i love zelda too. but yeah, this is a gorgon not a goron.

Aha! I get it now! He's wearing sunglasses so he doesn't have to look directly into her eyes!

That is so clever. haha

Ok, I'll shut up now. :)

The guy looks a bit reminiscent of Elijah Wood's character Kevin in the movie Sin City (the glasses and the Converse..even though Kevin's were black).

and I dig it.

I like it. only thing I'm not real keen on is the red bits. Good work.

I love it. And, azrielen, I agree. Hahah

Love it. Definite 5. Though, It'd be nice if it were availible in slightly different colours - the blue on the mint green really doesn't work for me. Maybe tone down the bright lime green slightly and put it on khaki?

Still. Great idea, made me smile. Very clever.

mmmm.
i would surely wear it.
back in the day, do you remember that old chat client, palace?
anyway, my avatar was always a goron i drew from scratch.
hot hot.

however.
the boy's face bothers me a bit. his chin isn't defined enough, i think. or his sunglasses are placed wrong or SOMETHING. and his right (our right) con looks kind of like a mickey mouse shoe.

and the strand of "hair" sticking straight up above the gorgon girl bothers me a little bit.

but i do love this shirt.
definite 5 <3
thank you for not being cliched.

just for the record, peeps, medusa was ONE gorgon, and a mortal one at that. gorgons are often depicted as having a snake like lower body -- medusa always has legs in the movies because that's easy and saves on the FX budget. this gorgon is not medusa specifically. nor is she katie holmes. sigh. :)

work a little on the guy's shirt (the collar area xpecially) and hair, and everthing will be perfect.

Very nice - I love the colors and I even like the red of her fingernails and his sneakers. I'd buy it.

I think he should have a dark green shirt. As it is now everything in the design "pops" except his shirt and it just leaves this weird hole on the shirt. $5 from me anyway. :)

i don't know why i don't like the red nails. i'd still buy the shirt because i'm vain and the bitch reminds me of me.

I really love this and would definitely wear it. The only suggestions I have for possible improvements are that maybe the guy’s legs are a little too skinny, and that the shape of his left trainer (his left, not ours) doesn’t look quite right. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Anyway, I’d still buy it though - well done.

By the way, definitely keep the snake tail on the girl – it looks far more striking this way than it would if she had legs. For anyone wondering about Gorgons, check out the film “Clash of the Titans.” Medusa was depicted in this film as having the lower body of a snake and since then, this seems to have become the most popular representation of a Gorgon.
