About my design
by artie
hand drawn...
wasn't sure if i should place in the center or somewhere else. mostly because i noticed a lot of people don't like weird placements. but for those that do. heres another option http://www.artieache.com/junk/birdbird_bottom.gif

I l0ve the art, but I prefer it not centered. I like the bottom placement... have you tried the upper right as well?

Good luck!

i love the art. i don't like it centered though, and sadly, i don't really like the bottom placement either. maybe just offcentered on the bottom or on the top. i like the idea of the upper right. excellent design though.

agree on the change of placement. it's lovely.

thanks for the comments so far.
i did actualyl play around with the placement.
i think i might like it best near the shoulder my self.
my last submission was close to the shoulder and some people said they weren't too crazy about that, so i didnt' even try it at first with this one.

you can take a look at a different placement here...

great stylization.

it's a great illustration but i think the problem is that the black behind the bird is a bit too dark and so it makes the placement awkward. If you lighten that or take it away all together it may be easier on the eyes. It wouldn't be bad on the upper right (but not too high up i.e. around the place a chest pocket might be).

:] love it.

artie on Nov 29 '05
well actually i added that black because it looked horrible with out it.
haven't tried other colors tho! i will def. try it if i choose to resubmit it with changes...

cool illustration. i don't mind its placement one bit, although it would probably work well in other places on the shirt as well...

all those different placement options are kinda extreme....but this is the best drawing i've seen in a while

This is really good. I would buy it. The placements all seem awkward, but I think it looks best in the upper right corner, or in the middle like it's shown. $5

fooboozlie on Nov 30 '05
Pure beauty. I'd buy it in a second.

Ha, reminds me of "she doesn't even realize" which I happen to own. Double cool points for you!

fyirie on Dec 01 '05
Don't think you need the black in the background, it's a little to blockish for the very natural lines of the drawing.
emilymiller
emilymiller on Dec 01 '05
yeah, i agree. he should be standing by himself and different placement. but i love it!
JOLAJONES
JOLAJONES on Dec 01 '05
Awesome colors and drawing! I agree with the background making it look a little awkward. Maybe emliminate it all together or change the shape of it. but out of all the placements the bottom is the best. Nice job!

lower lefthand corner- they'll resist, but are they your masters? it's just good sense. it';; make him look a little more forlorn- plus it makes people look at my stomach/ side, and that's the goal.

Awwww, I heart the tin-bird! Actually, he reminds me of the Stinky Cheese Man because of the way his head is shaped.
I think centered works best. Not sure how I feel about the background; it's cool, but I don't know if it is really necessary.
I actually like it on the deep red color that is behind the blown-up version of the design - if you put it on a shirt that color, I would definitely buy it! Good job. $4

i have no idea why but i flippin love this one. maybe one of my favorites. i really like it with the upper right placement too....
vainhope
vainhope on Dec 02 '05
this is real awesome, i give it a $5

i looked at the link with additional placements.. i think i dig the upper right the best

also, it looks great either way, but it might look cool without the black rectangle

just a thought though

nice work!

ToucanSam on Dec 02 '05
i love it, but i will not even touch it if it's on the bottom. I didn't like it there *at all*. if it is on the shoulder or center, it's a $5. so i'll vote %$ if you give me your solemn word that it will be on the shoulder or the center.
ToucanSam
ToucanSam on Dec 02 '05
tee hee, 5$, not %$.

artie on Dec 02 '05
i don't really like it on the bottom my self. i prefer it on the top... just felt like putting that up so i can hear what placements people like.

thanks on the comments so far everyone... there is sort of a reworked version in my profile... but this is the one i submitted. haha so keep on voting on this i guess!!!!

If you just had the tin bird and no thought bubble and black square I'd buy it.
bluedelirium

I really like it. And even though I've seen a lot of robots lately, this is totally different. And I really really like it as is.
Did I say I really like it?

the thought bubble with the eggs is good; i like to think he is being nostalgic about his youth.

I looked at your new version and I actually like the original better. It's more raw. I think it also looks better dark with the thought bubble on the left side.
