the text is unnecessary. your squid also has 9 arms and they look odd. merged together or soemthing. also the quality of your line work is too rough (unless intentional and then not rough enough)
|
 |
yeah, like work could use an overhaul, but i actually like the text, reminds me of old nature documentary voiceover.
|
 |
i don't like how the eyes look.. and like ^ said the lines are lil rough, need more work on the pen tool to get that right... and the whole thing looks lil too plain
|
 |
I like the text, too. I think the lines might look better if they were just a little thicker. I really like the color combination.
|
 |
Ha, I really like it.
|
 |
Should squidy's tentacles be longer?
|
|
I like the text, but starting the sentence off with "indeed," seems wrong.
|
 |
I think the text--particularly the "indeed"--is brilliant, as it seems to come from a page in an ancient children's book. As my fascination with Narwhals can be traced to such a book, I would buy this shirt instantaneously.
|
|
Leave the "Indeed", it makes the whole thing worthwhile. And I'd use less puke-looking colours, no offense...
|
|
is the narwhal supposed to want to rape the squid? cuz thats what it looks like sort of
|
 |
ivory sword indeed you naughty boy.
quite excellent choice of typeface, some kinda nineteenth century italic, very moby dick. the colors strike me as a little odd, maybe that's just me, why coral and pale turquoise? why different intensities of color? if the squid were a little paler it would balance the narwhal a little better, which matches well with the white lettering. overall the whole design is pleasingly balanced, which is a difficult thing with the text working diagonally one way and the illo working the other. |
 |
There is no intentional (or even subliminal) rape reference that i am aware of in this piece. Thanks for all your comments. I agree with the possibility of a more pale squid - i tried it in the preliminary drafts. Something i may adjust if chosen.
|
 |
i dont really like the way the eyes look either
|
|
Indeed this is a brilliant shirt!!! It seems to depict the anticipation of an epic battle, to begin shortly thereafter. Thank you, petecarrol, for your artistic genius! Side note: Octopi have 8 tentacles, however squids can have many. The illustration is correct.
|
 |
Ah!! Narwhals are my favorite animal! I like it... the eyes are a little off and the horn should be more to the left of the mouth to be realistic but i guess it doesnt matter b/c this is more cartoony. I am working on two narwhal themed designs to submit lol. I would buy it. Crap I hope narwhals don't become the new unicorn-type craze.
|
 |
Dude yes i would buy the shit out of this 5$
|
|
this is the best shirt ive ever seen! its so amazing petecarrol! you are so clever..
.... i think we should go out sometime... |
|
ha
|
|
this shirt just makes me laugh with joy.
love it 5$ |
|
Amazing stuff! I think I'll get one.
|
 |
does this have some sort of sexual connotation?
|
 |
narwhals are too cliche. my first design was a narwhal coming out of a pokeball
|
 |
are they gonna get it on?
|
 |
I want this now! please let it be printed, and keep the text! I like the eyes too, especially the squid's. they remind me of the drawings from Yellow Submarine.
In short: MAKE THIS SHIRT. |
 |
i like the documentary idea. good shirt.
i'd buy it |
 |
leave the text EXACTLY AS IT IS
|
 |
I love the text but not the image. I mean, the image is good, but the way it is hitting the squid and the set up of the shirt need to be changed.
|
 |
Love the text and the narwhal is adorable! However, the squid's tentacles are a little funky and I think it would be better if the squid was facing the narwhal. Still -- awesome awesome! I love it!
|
 |
it's so badly drawn but i think that's what makes it great.
|
 |
Lmao. I like how you did the closeups.
|
 |
ohh i want this!
indeed. |
|
my only experience with narwhals is from "elf", so i dont really know how to judge him, but i agree with leaving the text as is and possibly adjusting the eyes and squid color and tentacles. hope you win; i'd love to get this shirt.
|
 |
I would definitely put a comma after indeed.
|
 |
Narwahals don't really have ivory but i like the idea.
|
 |
I'd like it with out the text
|
 |
I like the text. I agree with the people who said that it reminds them of a nature documentary, or of a nineteenth century children's book.
|
|
Yeah - it's a quote from Verne's 20,000 leagues under the sea!!
|
|
i know someone who would totally buy this, because the guy is obsessed with narwhales. $4
|
|
Squid should have 10 tentacles, and two of them should be those funny attack tentacles, but that really isn't all that distracting to me. I like the design a lot, but the placement of the text looks a bit odd to me. Also, maybe more shirt color options would be nice, but that's just because I have too many navy blue shirts as it is.
Otherwise, it's a really funny design. 5 |
|
Dude, that's messed up. It made me cry. Still, I'd buy it.
|
|
yes, i believe the two extra tentacles are used for mating and fighting... i think you should keep the squid the colour it is. it's more.. squid-like that way. but i don't like the blue shirt.
|
 |
I like the text but I think the illustrations could use more work...
