my roots..what are yours? Whose roots do you embrace?

I do not come on to threadless to be asked moral, introspective, or ontological questions

This is an awesome design, I will totally buy this. $5

It makes me think of Japanese horror with the long black hair - which I love!

Twirly

Nice one, MissKarla.

normally i like off centered placements but I think this should be centered. it's just too blocky down there.
AND I LOVE IT!!!!
center it and it'd totally be a $5!!!!!!!!

sorrysnails

the combination of curly roots and placement makes me think of pubic hair, maybe if the roots were right after her chest instead of at her vagina....

Solari

kinda looks like she has devil horns

Damoz

It looks like a shadow monster or something forming right before you.

I like it.

kevinwells

yeah, it definitely looks like she has horns. and about all the hairy vagina comments... well... not my first thought, but i can see it.

neat design, but not something i'd wear.

Cmon guys give some critique that we can actually improve our designs. lol and its usually the people who havent even submitted a design, wow! Atleast we have! Well I appreciate all the votes and critque so far, you guys rock!! Thank you so much!!! THREADLESS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! :)

her hair sucks. i like the way you wrote "my roots" but I think i's bad placement and it means absolutly nothing it just looks like it does.

whatchaback

i'd get this one.
i do like the shadow affect.

no one impotant

wow she has got to do something about her pubes
sorry but thats just not right
i see where you were trying to go with this though and its a good idea just....has to be fixed up

I agree with moving it to the center, but keep it at the bottom of the shirt.
The placement of the "roots" combined with the black shirt combine to make a possible horror scenario shirt where her legs were ripped off and the nerves and blood vessels are dangling down...

The "horns" seem to be a result of your placement of the head superimposed on the same color lines

I like the design--not bad for a first submission

thank you for the awesome critique guys!!! :)

um, if she put it at the bottom center, it would gear more to a stringy pubic haired vagina. so, off to the side sounds better.

Electrospecter

Christ almighty that's spooky. Imagine that floating through your bedroom door while you're trying to sleep... :D

Anyway, it's a nice design. The first thing on my mind when I saw it was something along the lines of The Grudge. I didn't read pubes at all. :P I'd like to see a closer image. And maybe the "roots" could dangle down a bit further.

Maybe if you put "My Roots" or something on it, and the quote at the bottom; I would like it more. But none the less, it is a very good idea. ~3

Great first sub, I don't have any yet but that's cause I don't want these thredless guys making $ off my designs!!! Ha ha Just Kidding! I just like buying everybody else's cool stuff. Wish I had more time to comment and submit but we're to busy printing our own stuff. Anyway, The shape of the girl is the great thing about this design. The My roots wording mixed into the actual roots is cool as well. If you can find a better way to tie them together it would be nice. Maybe if the roots were rooted in something it would have better symbolism. The roots could be a little more detailed to go with the girl silhouette art. The lines behind the girls head could shift a bit to get rid of the horn effect. Also, if you could find a different way to frame the image and not have it be so square and blocky and symmetrical it would be dope! Check out www.brandnewclothing.com, word up! Keep up the nice work! -Scotty
