This is my first submission, and actually the first thing I have ever designed using the pen tool in photoshop (I, unfortunately, do not have illustrator). Alternative colour options in red available for viewing in my profile.
Thanks!

Very clever idea. The drawing is well done. I think the colors are a little bit down, could use a little more of a brighter pop if you ask me. Brighten it up and place it more on the shoulder and you got a 5 from me! Great job.

Looks good on the brown. Maybe slide down the design a little bit.

Very cute! If you don't want to mess with the parrot colors, simply putting it on a burgundy tee would help it pop more. Nice job.

I like it, but it could use a little more detail

LOVE the idea. I just don't really like the parrot...maybe its just me. still, $5

I like the idea, but it seems like the ledge the parrot is perching on is missing something. maybe it's just two wide, kind of distracting

potatopotato on May 09 '06
What do you dislike about the parrot, chemicallly, if I may ask? It's purely out of aesthetic concern and if you could provide more feedback, I'd be happy to perhaps adjust it further after a few more da ys of criticisms.

whoa! i totally randomly drew this same thing in my notes earlier this semester. were you going through my note doodles for t-shirt ideas? :P

i totally adore this, and I'd surrender 5 treasure chests and brave the seven seas to buy it .
arghhh !!!! ;-]

hahahaha @ yiang

and yes, kaizoku, I tend to frequent strangers' notebooks for inspiration. ;)

i dont know if i like the branch. maybe if you go branch-less.

great idea though!

It was originally supposed to be kind of a boat-mast or a piece of driftwood but it unfortunately doesn't seem to have turned out that way.
I could fix it.

$5. I love it! The placement seems awkward, though. I would prefer it in one of the lower corners, ideally.

can it be more toward the shoulder?

While I do like the idea very much, hyacinth macaws are Blue! Very blue! This distracts me. Also I feel lukewarm about the perch.

I heart parrots. The pirate is quite adorable.

HAAAAAAHA i need this design; pirates are sweet and especially on the shoulder of a parrot (if parrots have shoulders?) .
i like it on the brown tee and possibly bightened a little, or maybe a burgundy tee? the only other thing is maybe work on the pirate's mouth (a bit evil looking...even for a pirate :) ), but still $5
potatopotato
potatopotato on May 10 '06
That's actually a beard. I didn't realize that it looked like a mouth until after I submitted it. :(

Thank you everyone so far for the compliments and criticisms!

$5 cause this makes me laugh and cause that's a hyacinth macaw- we have one at the pet store where I work.

cool shirt but the piece of wood that the parrot is resting on seems a little big/overpowering

also, what about a little red in the picture?

********ABOUT THE BOARD*********
*************************************

Would you all prefer the board to be 1. smaller, of course, and
would you rather have the bird

A. standing on planks i.e. the planks that make up a ship
B. a twisty, windy, spiffy looking branch,
C. like the mast of a ship, with ropes trailing down, etc.

Changing what the bird is sitting on is not a problem at all.

mmmmm Pirate :D

C. mast with ropes.


this reminds me of a racist joke ... i liked it because it was clever, i just wish whoever had started it hadn't made it racist.
iheartmap23
iheartmap23 on May 13 '06
my vote is b or c (branch or mast)

it made me giggle. $5

amy122166 on May 13 '06
make that piece of wood with some details because right now it looks like a sign and should say something like Arrrgg...otherwise it's a really good idea

i like this a lot! but i'm thinkin a dark color would be the best to print it on, or in any case a non-white shirt

even though this has a pirate on it I CAN"T critisize it because it's ACTUALLY good. Congrats, potatopotato
