that was probably the best decision you have ever made in your entire life....seriously
|
 |
This is really really awesome.
I like you, a lot. |
|
hello gemma. i have no idea what this site is but i joined it for the sole reason to comment that i like this t-shirt. karen xxx
|
|
this is really cool, i like it. $5
|
 |
The black not being solid is bothering me.
|
 |
gemmabear on Oct 21 '05 Let me explain the black, it is not solid because of the way it has been drawn- it looks a lot better at full size
|
|
AAhh I love it Gemma bear u're a genius!, he looks real sad :(
|
|
gemmabear on Oct 21 '05 i like you too degrassi!
|
|
I like it, but I only get it when I read the title, maybe a text bubble would help.
|
 |
centered an i buy
orr even better center the king and queen and let the poor guy alone |
 |
Yeah! Center the king and queen!
I like it though.... because I'm a chess freak. |
|
I love it! I think the position is fine, middle is a little boring, most Ts have loggos in middle! Love you Bear! xx
|
 |
As an avid chess player I love this shirt!
Good choice on leaving out the text, but I too suggest you center the image. Great design and color selection. Would buy and wear! $5. |
|
did you get this idea from the Alice In Wonderland chess pieces? I love it!
|
 |
I love this t-shirt.
|
 |
Wonderful! I'd buy this.
|
 |
I like the texture. I like the design. Like that you left off that text. Ijust wish it were centered and not on blue. $5, just the same.
|
 |
PERFECTION.
|
 |
Lovely. $.

 |
Iwouldbejosh on Oct 21 '05 i like this
|
 |
haha. the chess pieces are cute. i like. :D
|
 |
Oh God, I love your designs
5 + $$$ |
|
its great, even without the title. $5
|
 |
maybe put the pawn and king/queen couple on opposite sides. as is 4.
|
 |
i really like the title, it makes you sound like a pompous child. i think it would be better on paper. i print a free silly maga in london town. if you would like to have your work printed in my silly maga, please leave a message after the tone................
|
 |
I LOVE THIS! $5
I think all your designs are great..Innocent and funny. |
 |
nice
text maybe |
|
i love it you must make this a shirt
|
 |
in love...$5 no doubt!
|
 |
LOVE IT. needs text bubble, though. 5$
|
|
liebe (thats love it in german) GOOD JOB. cept, the t-shirt color's okay...
|
 |
reminds me of edward gorey...fantastic 5$
|
|
made me feel bad for the pawn. :[
beautiful colors. i would but it. $$$$$ |
|
buy**
|
|
i like this. but maybe you should put the title on the shirt? i dont know. i dont really understand it without reading the title. but i'd buy it anyway just because its awesome.
|
 |
!
|
 |
i adore your work, and this is definitely the strongest so far conceptually. i got the chessness right away, and i'm glad there's no text, but the image doesn't quite convey the message yet. i think even moving the middle figure further to the left would help a lot, the king and queen could even overlap slightly. just to add that sense of distance from the poor, poor pawn. i also think the queen could be a bit haughtier, maybe with her head thrown slightly back. but this is all nitpicking, i would buy it in a second.
|
 |
not on blue. but i would helluv get it for my little brother who loves chess.
|
 |
Why do your designs require so much in the way of excuses and explanations? Shouldn't people just "get it" when they see it? I'd have to hand out informational pamphlets to people if I wore your designs so they'd understand what they would be looking at.
Why don't you try simplifying your messages to match your uh...style? |
 |
Can you make the white pieces 'scribbly' as well?
|
 |
I like the concept, but maybe try to make the chess pieces more recognizable as chess pieces? I'm not sure how...
And Hazelip... get over it. |
|
Get over what? The shirt design sucks, and I'm offering a suggestion. Actually, your feedback sounds remarkably similar to mine. Should you get over it as well?
|
 |
Fantastic as is. Well done. $5
|
 |
i really appreciate your humor and line drawings! excellent, wonderful work. i hope to see a shirt of yours soon.
|
 |
major Edward Gorey reminicence.
if you're staying in his style, clem82, you only make the white quote-unquote 'scribbly' if you're adding texture. beautimous. more shirt colours. |
|
gemmabear on Oct 23 '05 Wow, I've just got back from a trip away and it's SO nice to come back to all these wonderful and fantastically helpful comments.
Except for hazelip's of course, but then I expected that from him (he's probably got a link on his website to this, again, like with my other subs, to show how funny and clever he is) I'm surprised J-Ray hasn't slagged it off yet. There's still time I guess. Although I don't see the point of commenting on someone's work that you KNOW you won't like- unless (J-RAY AND HAZELIP) you just wanna look big and clever. But anyway, bitterness aside, thanks so much y'all. I'm taking in all of your comments, they're all really useful |
|
gemmabear on Oct 23 '05 Fortino Samano, I just read your comment.
That sounds great! I live in the UK (Norwich) and I would be very interested to see your "maga" give me an e-mail (use link to my website) Cheers! gemma |
 |
cute.
|
|
hazelip really has it in for you gemmabear
i'd watch my back if I were you |
|
i LOVE this shirt.
|
 |
i love the shirt.
and i love the placement. everyone always wants stuff in the stupid middle. no , the middle is boring. good job |
 |
oooh.. ahhh... you can dress me up for halloween!
|
|
Gemma, are you an idiot? Do you really think I own del.icio.us?
del.icio.us is not MY site... |
|
gemmabear on Oct 24 '05 I really don't care hazelip.
Please, next time I submit something, don't add a comment. Give it a zero, whatever, you know you're going to anyway, but please just leave me alone. |
|
hah i joined just to give u a five ^_^ and hazelip is jealous =) i know i am ^_~
|
|
whatever, del.icio.us is, hazelip, there is no need to get so personal.
This comment section is for constructive critisism, not bullying. 5$ from me |
 |
I want one Gemma Bear, maybe in pink
xx |
|
This is a great design -- doesn't need any text. Leave it to them to figure it out!
I knew they were chess pieces -- isn't it obvious? Those that don't get it aren't supposed to. I'd wear it. |
|
This is one of my favorite designs, and I would definitely buy it. I think the placement is great, and it's great that there's no text. You don't need text for a shirt like She Doesn't Even Realize so I see no reason why you should have it here. The point definitely gets across, and the design is adorable. I do agree that if the queen had her head back a little and the king was closer to the queen it might be a litte better, but as is it's still great. Bravo! $5
|
|
this shirt is great. i'd buy this for sure.
|
 |
I need this.
|
|
Threadless, please, PLEASE print this. I already have too many shirts and it's winter and therefore really need longsleeve shirts, but I will STILL buy this if it gets printed. It's amazing. Print!
|
|
SUPER GOOD SHIRT.
If you change a thing, I will find you and fight you. Every time I look at it, I laugh... pretentiously... and that's the best way to laugh. |
 |
5$$$$$$
|
|
i dont even play or like chess...
but i think its totally awsome! 5 dolla!! |
|
I got the shirt right away, no need for an explanation, I didn't even look at the title! Woot! Anyway, love the drawing, poor pawn. *tear* Anyway, I love it!
|
 |
this is awesome. I would like the text on the back though, in the same sort of free hand manner.
Otherwise it looses the meaning to me. |
|
ha ha. i love it. you get my money
|
 |
great idea your obvisouly doing well, minus some critics your going to get thoughs bitches everyonce in awhile. DOLAR SIGN FIVE FOR YOU.
|
|
I love it, but it should be on another colour, one that is not so happy... kinda loses a little of the feeling on the blue.
|
|
I really love this t-shirt. I don't think you need the text...
adorable! |
 |
I was really confused as to how "Let the rabbit eat" and "My Pet Pony" get made into t-shirts until I read this long, long list of comments. Now I guess it can be simply explained by democracy.
|
|
oh, whoops that was "little" pony.
|
|
Rufusgriffin...
Totally agree with you. Those are shitty shirts. |
|
gemmabear on Oct 27 '05 i think my the my little pony shirt is really well drawn...actually
err, i think democracy is the whole point of threadless! |
|
I like the sketchiness. I suits it and it doesn't look cheap. Nice.
|
 |
I LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!
Adorable. 5$ |
|
I like it, but blue's not really my color. Perhaps smaller characters in the middle of the shirt would get me to buy it. 4.
