it's alright... I'm not a big fan of the font you used either.

I'd like it if it were centered in the middle of the shirt. cute design.

i like the bat, the bottle, and the cups, even maybe. but in my opinion, the large bowl on the left is unnecessary. move the rest up to the chest and center it, maybe changing the dimensions so that the bat is larger and he other things are slightly smaller. but that is not very important, i suppose it would work just fine without the size changes, i don't know, try?

i approve of the colour choices wholeheartedly. and that damned bat is just adorable.

^^^ that "bowl" isn't there, buddy. It's a cup blown up.

I like the colors and design, but i dont think the text is needed. also might take out the cup.

Sooo...its a bat drinking sake?

I dont quite get it.

that should just be "sake." there isn't an apostrophie.
Kannaya
Kannaya on Nov 01 '05
OK...i tinnk there should be a apostrophie above the E because my friend's mom is Japanese and speaks it and she told me how to write it. The big cup will not be on the shirt either, I just wanted to show a larger version of the images.

Thanks for the good coments to everyone. The position probably would look good centered, I just wanted to switch it up.

I don't know why my mom put an accent on the e. I guess it is pronounced like that, but I don't think that it's actually spelled with the accent. Sorry about that, I didn't see it.

like the design, but im not so sure that a bat was the best for it

ditto what pillango said.

the bat's adorable - but the design just isn't there quite yet.

There is supposed to be an accent on the 'e' in 'sake'.

Cute design, I like the colours. I would prefer it was centered though, and without the cup on the left, and change the font.

Also... I don't quite get it... why is the bat drinking Japanese liquour? It might be easier if you made it something recognizable like a wine bottle or something... I'm not sure...
pillango
pillango on Nov 02 '05
ah my bad about the 'bowl'. still stand by the rest of my comment.

centered, please.

why a bat? im just curious. i think it should be replaced with a more oriental animal. how about a panda lying on its back with sake cups and bottles spilled over surrounding him. a panda that had a good time : )
Lovelee182
Lovelee182 on Nov 02 '05
oh and decorate the sake cups. u have a great idea u just got to put some more work into the design.with a few changes here and there u got a defnate $5 from me
dweepcity
dweepcity on Nov 02 '05
Lovelee182, a panda would be cute, but didn't we already have a panda shirt with "pandamonium"? anyhow, I think that decoration on the sake cups is a good idea. centering might work, might not. sometimes centering looks cheesy. also, maybe accentuate the smile a bit more...it's so cute and batty, but I thought it was supposed to be little bat feet before my eyes adjusted. other than that, if you were a bat, wouldn't you chug sake?that is the answer to "why bat?". besides, a sake cup is a perfect place for a little bat to dip in. a wine glass or shot glass would NOT have the same effect. plus, this bat is sophisticated and refined, yet hip enough to not drink some boring old heady dry wine, and have it lounge cocktail like a cosmo or highball would be
1. not cute
2. making it genderized.
i like the idea of an anonymous androgenous bat getting blasted on sak and winging away to play. this shirt must win.
$5.

THANK YOU Dweepcity. I choose a bat because it is a new animal and why do just oriental animals have to drink sake?! I wanted to the deiwsng to be simple and people can understand what is going on. Decorating would not be real sake cups and to much going on in the image.

I love this, it's so dammed cute! I love the color and the placement. The only thing I might suggest is to change the font to make it a little more cartoon-y, and maybe the larger cup on the left doesn't need to be there. All in all I'd buy it right now how it is! Great idea! :D

This is different. I really like it. It would be great on today's longer t's as most don't have anything on the bottom on the shirt.

jonponder on Nov 03 '05
what's with the purple? is the bat crapping all over the sake?

Kannaya
Kannaya on Nov 03 '05
No jon, that is the color of the sake. Not the real color of sake of course. Just a different approach.

gunsxgoxbang on Nov 03 '05
aww... what a cute little bat! ^_^ I would be proud to wear this! I'd probably bug every one SO much by saying "Look at my lil drunk bat!" repeatedly that they would cram the shirt down my throat. Do NOT change a thing about it. It's to adorable as is. :) You get $5.

pre-heated-death on Nov 04 '05
......Let's just remove "sake" ~~ It can be written either way... but.... if you know what sake sets look like, isn't it ....kinda redundant? Or is the design on the set "sake"? ..... ummmm.... yeah.

The bat dude is cute... but I find that I don't think I'd want to wear this.... just... because. I love little bat guys, and drunk little bat guys.... just... don't make me as happy.

Adorable, it made me laugh. I could live without the text. $5

Tamber on Nov 06 '05
No No No NOOO! Don't change anything! The font is great, the plain cups/bowls are great - the bat SHOULD be small (Bats are VERY SMALL!!) as far as I can see this is exactly right just as it is and I like it a lot. Of course, I am a big fan of bats, but anyway...

Holy shite! This shirt is fuckin amazing!!! I for one am a huge lover of the Japanese culture, and they would be insanely proud of you kannaya for putting together two perfectly matched objects: a little bat & a tasty beverage like Sake'. And by the way, who cares if there's an apostrophe or not above the E, either way, it is still a dope design with a gut-bustingingly beautiful message..."be watchful of your sake with cute little bats around, because they may just become even more adorable and start screeching japanese drinking melodies." This shirt MUST BE PRINTED!!!! $$$$5555

P.S. If we shall ever by chance meet Kannaya, I am pretty god-pleasing positive that we will fall madly in love.

Nice design, I GIVE IT A 5!!!! I espicially like the bat and how deviously he has consumed the sake. You can see in his eyes he has done a bad deed, and regret and misfortune cloud his vision causing him to become dizzy and disoriented..... or perhaps it is just the sake, GOD NOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW!!!

t4lk on Nov 08 '05
My only suggestion is maybe change the placement or style of the accent over the E to look more like an accented E rather than an apostrophe in the middle of SAKE. Right now to my eyes it looks like a horizontal version of SAK'E When I know you mean SAKÉ.
