very first attempt, inspired (sorta) by a bright eyes song

How sad. The dog doesn't look very dead though...... close his eyes maybe.

do not put an x where the dog's eye would be, i know its a cartoon drawing, but an x would make it look too cartoony, if that makes sense

pnb on Mar 08 '06
Really like the drawing. Really like the blue in the drawing. Don't like the blue in the shirt (something darker). And maybe the drawing should be a tad lower?

Aristarchus on Mar 08 '06
Yeah, I remember when I dug up my dog at night and tried to play hide 'n' seek with the corpse. It looked a lot like this.

Actually, I like this. It's pretty cute. I agree that the dog needs to look deader, but that you also ought not to give it Exes for eyes.

4 for the illustration, good job...

it's really nice. i dont understband why i'd want to wear a kid burying their dead dog on my shirt.
it would either make people think about their dead dogs, or their dogs dying or i dont know, and i only have a cat.

rudra
rudra on Mar 08 '06
you can make the dog look dead without x's for eyes if you have it's tongue drooping out the side of his mouth.

and the whole image should be lower.
magicfever
magicfever on Mar 08 '06
this is so sad. Why dont you make a before and after shirt. I'd buy the non dead version.
artificialwater
artificialwater on Mar 08 '06
Ew, I would hate it if it had x's for eyes OR a tounge hanging out. I like it perfectly how it is. It's extremleyyyy sad. And I would rather have it extremley sad than somthing being "silly" but sad. Even though that didn't make sense. :D

I like the style and I might go for the shirt if they were sighting and counting stars, but why would I want to walk around with a dog burial t-shirt?

wow that is sad.. usually i would say clean up the design a bit, but the hand drawn style really works with this design.. nice job
ehmkaydee
ehmkaydee on Mar 08 '06
like the design but i too think that the dog needs to appear dead - he kinda looks like he's sleeping...

Nice design -- But -- I'm just not into the death thing . . . looking for clever or funny concepts . . .

I love that song. And this shirt.
the mothership
the mothership on Mar 08 '06
this drawing is so cute i'd definitely buy it except i didn't really understand it at first because i didn't think the dog was dead but then i saw the hole and was like aww the dog is dead but it kinda looks alive. haha. i like the blue in the picture but i don't like how the shirt is blue as well. i think the shirt should be black.
SuperRosie
SuperRosie on Mar 08 '06
Other than the fact that the design is a little high on the shirt, it's perfect. The message gets across that the dog is dead with just the grave and sad kid. Don't change anything. 5
HitOrMissy18
HitOrMissy18 on Mar 09 '06
i seriously got tears in my eyes when i saw this... no joke! i love bright eyes and i love this shirt. i'd wear it when i'm feeling sad so i can make everyone else around me sad too haaaah

AHH THIS BETTER GET PRINTED!!! $5!
dennis2510
dennis2510 on Mar 09 '06
Yeah just move it down, don't change the design. I have no idea what people are talking about when they say make it look "deader." Really aside from putting X's for the eyes which would just be too much there isn't much else you can do. Having a tongue hang out would look weird with the colors you have, plus alive dogs tend to have tongues that hang out too. It isn't necessary, but it would be cool to see a silhouette in one of the windows. Especially the left window in the closest house.

norock on Mar 09 '06
True Blue's a really awesome song. You get a $5 for referencing it.

And dead dogs are something I'd wear on a shirt.
yorkperry
yorkperry on Mar 09 '06
Wow! This Shirt its so cool!

So sad! So... blue!

I´d buy it of course!

But I´m agree...The image... you should move it down
yorkperry
yorkperry on Mar 09 '06
and the dog... yeah ! for me it looks so god damn dead! Empty inside... Without soul... something like that
Bimbo
Bimbo on Mar 09 '06
very very sad. I would definetively wear this one.
Carrie Kay
Carrie Kay on Mar 09 '06
I 'd buy this in an instant.

I think the eyes could just be closed with a simple down facing (

and I agree the image should be lowered.

Awsome job!
cassiepaige
cassiepaige on Mar 09 '06
I really hope you don't lower it.
Make the eyes be dead though.
I give it a 5$ now though because i really like this one.
superjuanrocha
superjuanrocha on Mar 09 '06
ok ok if it gets printed I´ll lower the design and change the eyes, and for those who think it doesn´t look enough dead you can pretend the kid is about to kill the dog

"...I am a blue blood I will admit that.
I dance in blue shoes and wear a blue hat.
Live in a blue house, on a blue street,
in a blue town by a blue creek. ...
and when i got there, I met a blue dog
with a blue tongue, we had some real fun.
We bounced a blue ball. It broke a blue glass.
We banged on blue drums and called it bluegrass.
Guess the thing I'm trying to tell you,
is that it’s best kid if you're true blue..."
aww the greatness of it all... i just wish your shirt wasn't so sad. excellent art work, just would have gone with a happier subject. the song it happy :) but still 5

OMG NO.

Why would you wanna wear a shirt about burying your dead dog?
rrich76
rrich76 on Mar 10 '06
the concept isn't something I want to wear, but the style and quality are really great. I hope you keep submitting stuff that looks this good. 5 from me, even though I wouldn't buy it. Oh yeah, and a horizontal line for an eye would do better than an X...then the dog would look like he's "sleeping". (the big sleep)
xsarsx
xsarsx on Mar 10 '06
really awesome illustration.
kinda not-for-tshirts concept.
and honestly, i sisnt see the shovel at first, so i thought the kid was crying cuz the dog dug the hole in the lawn.
although, the fact that i hate bright eyes may be making me slightly prejudiced.

I like to think the dog is just sad with the boy, so he's lying there for him. But then that makes me think.....what the hell is the boy burrying then? Hmmm

that's the exact same thing i thought of when i saw this shirt. three cheers for having a warped imagination!

cheif_slappygans
cheif_slappygans on Mar 12 '06
awwwwww. you should put an X for the eyes. it looks like it's trying to hide. maybe a darker tshirt color, since it's supposed to be night time.
dognamedtruman
dognamedtruman on Mar 12 '06
Isn't this sort of a sad thing to put on a t-shirt?

I'd be depressed all day if I wore this.

WESTY77 on Mar 12 '06
SAD!
dokkyo
dokkyo on Mar 12 '06
How about instead of the "x" for eyes (which I think would be too much) just use a "-" (dash) so his/her eyes are closed at least... I like it, but the more I look at it, the more memories it brings of my own dog passing away... but yes "close" the eye.
scottytown
scottytown on Mar 12 '06
so amazing... beautiful and sad. If you do change the eyes please don't use x's, but maybe the horizontal sleeping eyes someone mentioned. I think it's great that it's a little ambiguous at first glance...All the answers are there though and it's wonderful as the drama unfolds as you cast your eyes about. perfect!!!!

(well ok.. I'm not a fan of blue shirts, but it certainly fits this one fine)

good luck!
kapioca
kapioca on Mar 12 '06
Awww! I want to hug the kid and give him a cookie! And don't add anything to the dog! It's clear enough as is and adding something I fear would make it distasteful.

Love the dog.
Love the little guy.
Love the stars.
Love the idea.

But then again, it's a bit too high up near the collar.

Perhaps a different area on the shirt?

SAD?
This is effing CREEPY AS ALL HELL.
Haven't you people read or seen Pet Cemetary, for chrissakes?!

Anyway, the illustrative style looks like something you'd see on the back of a cereal box. It's too cutesy. Which may have been your intention to mix cute & creepy. Ditching the houses & stars may easily fix the OVERLY cute part so it doesn't take away the attention of the main subject matter. For now, it's competing.
mezo
   mezo on Mar 14 '06
Wait...is he burying the dog?!

Because I read it as he had dug the dead dog up! If he's burying it, then maybe put the grave on the right side of the dog so we see the stages from left to right.

Or, maybe I am just a weird death obsessed twit.

I'm giving you a 5, it's such a great submission. But, I would never wear a little kid and his dead dog. Too sad. But I still love it.
thenutcracker

its sweet-pulls on the heart strings. but do lower it a tad
scottwv
scottwv on Mar 14 '06
This is SOOO great, but not quite a $5. With a few changes, I'd love it.

Someone else said darker blue and move image down, agreed.

also, I think it would be better w/o the stars and moon. Dark blue shirt + lights in the house windows would convey well enough that it's night time. I think the morbid theme of this would be better served by a dark starless night.

I'll say 4.
