Nice, skillful linework but it needs more colours, a context for the bridge, and a connection with the title. It looks more like the start of something (potentially interesting) than a finished product.

^ I have to agree with cambert. This is decent on it's own, but I'd love to see where else you could go with the design. But keep the colors the same, I like the white on pacific blue... reminds me of nautical things which fits in with the bridge.

Should there be cables beteeen the foreground and the first stand?

actually no, but it seems like there should be. This is the ambassador bridge in Detroit and for some reason the cables are only in the middle.

It'd be neat if, instead of cutting it off at the circle, you extended the bridge all the way across the shirt. The perspective would need some tweaking though. Speaking of which, did M.C. Escher draw this? Parts of the bridge are missing (the cables, as mentioned above (though they may not be present on the actual bridge, it just looks weird here) and the road... turns on its side? There's seems to be a piece missing on one side). The thing is, I expect bridges to be a picture of symmetry, and this one isn't and that seems wrong, regardless of what the real bridge looks like.

I REALLY LIKE THIS SHIRT, BUT IT COULD USE A LITTLE MORE. BUT ITS COOL.

I looked up photos of the bridge, and as with all suspension bridges, its main cables run from end to end. Without the tension provided by those cables, the pillars would fall towards each other and the bridge would collapse. =/

If you need further evidence that this shirt is missing something, the cables are pretty hard to miss in these photos. Also note the support structures beneath the side spans, absent in the shirt as well.

This isn't a very good illustration. The spans don't even line up (it gets cut off after the first span) and it needs suspension cables. Resubmit.

Yes, clearly there are horizontal suspension cables or else the bridge would collapse. However, I was speaking of the vertical ones, which is also very clear in those pictures. I would appreciate comments on how to fix things though and what I should add, not just that it is a bad illustration, or that I'm wrong. Thanks though, you sure have a way to make a girl feel special.

this is a nice illustration. I like the colors, but I would like to see it extended across the shirt. make it bust out of the circle. $4.

i agree the perspective looks wrong or mixed up

I can see the ambassador bridge from my window right now, and it definitely has cables from end to end. If you would add them, and also make the roadway continue past the second tower, it would look 100% better.

I like it in the circle frame. And the colours.

If you resubmit I would give it a 5$.

Even without the support cables on this design, I find your use of perspective to be imaginative. Living in the Detroit area, I have seen the Ambassador bridge as part of the skyline for my entire life. I can appreciate the not-so-obvious title since the bridge is shared with two countries. Good Job!
