I love the colors. I don't understand why the ship is smaller than the group of people but I'm not picky, I'd wear it... $4

Crosswind

Like it better with the clouds. Really cool concept!

Not sure about the shirt colors, though. I threw the pic in Photoshop and tried out that pale orangish color you have as the background and I like it like that better. Not sure if it's an option, but there you go. The blue works well too (although I'm not sure I'm up for another light blue shirt)

Good work though!

Very girly, but beautiful anyways - 5.

Pukagurl

cute I like the colors alot.

plans

good illustration, but not my type of t shirt material.

3ruce

maybe for a book, but not for shirt

i like the white space in this version, but not crazy about the clouds themselves. they look a little too much like moustaches, especially that middle one. if i were buying a gift for a kid the clouds wouldn't stop me from getting this, because overall i like it a lot. very cute, and slightly surreal without being too weird for the age group most likely to wear it. makes me laugh that the top kid is standing on their heads instead of their shoulders.

It's Fantastical!!! I'd buy it! Very pretty, agreed it is girly, but so am i!

ziggystardust

hahaha
i totally love this

rockeatin

very nice illustration and colors. it's a little big on the shirt; makes it feel like a kids' shirt.
it's pretty feminine, but femininity is cool.

fluffysam

$5

Not sure this works well on a t-shirt, but you get a 5 for an excellent illustration!

BeauW

I like it,
weather I want to or not.

Papernails

good looking illustration. I don't really understand the concept. A sailboat pulling skiers without skis. What made you think of this?

thanks for the comments and suggestions!

i'm not sure how i thought of the idea, but this is how i imagined it.

this is my first time designing for t-shirts, so all of your suggestions/feedback are definitely a learning experience for me.

doo doo boy

nice pallette & illustration, i like it

ungivenglory

Definately a creative illustration and beautiful use of color, I personally wouldn't wear this because it isn't my style, BUT i know lots of people would so for that i give you a 5.

spacesick

Nice work!

snkhan

$ Can you make the illustration slightly smaller please?

rombocket

i am biased, but you know i think it looks great

hamsterboo

smaller would be better

Ferasu

love the colors

echoepidemic

Without the white bg part = $5

powdermonkey

love the picture.

needs to be on whit e, though. i don't normally dig the white shirts, but the colours look best with the white, and the design would flow better, rather than looking so much like a big circle.

jdugmore

doesnt this remind you of the opening credits of Alvin and the Chipmunks where he's waterskiing in the bathtub?

oh man

Syrnix

lose the white clouds and i like it 3 for illustration, wouldn't wear it , but someone would

radioactive_toast

I really like this one, especially how the waterskiers are each obviously different instead of the same image.

sliester

This is so rediculously cute! In the good way of course. It reminds me of childrens books that i loved, the Little Prince, the Maggie Bee.

Klayr

Oh my GOD. This MUST be printed. I demand it. $5

yiang

aw...how pretty :]
I'd get it if it were on white though, because of the white border thingie on the sky hehe

kamisch42

I like it witht he clouds/sky - makes it a fuller picture. Looks great on any pale tropical color really. Even better is keeping the circles of colors around it like you have here (even though it's just to show the shades, I know) - makes it so 70's, only fresher. I just love the idea too. Can't you just see the Spaniards using their great galleons for such ventures? You could even call it "Ship retirement" or something silly like that. Very fun shirt. $$$

sliester

I'm pretty upset that this didn't get scored higher....I'm dissapointe in you people. :(

sliester

If you have this shirt printed elsewhere, please let me know.
