I like it - but I must confess front treatment and scale are killing it for me... I would fix and resub for sure!

I love their scales/nubbles. I kinda read the teeth the wrong way, though; the blood is where the gums would be anyway. Perhaps you could put the red on the tips of the fangs instead?

"This is how you use love hearts in a better context in a tshirt design ladies and gentlemen. "

someone's not full of themselves AT ALL

despite the designer's attitude, it's a cute idea

better font smaller image as well as reverse the blood on the teeth and it will be a solid design

Clearly you're an idiot that doesn't understand the concept of jokes. Regardless this IS an example of a love heart used in a more amusing fashion than "hey heres a tshirt with a heart on it over where your actual heart would be"

the bloods meant like that, when you eat something saucy it goes on your lips not on your teeth for the most part.

bananaphone I love it. But I'm a nerd and have to have apostrophes where they belong. It's such a tiny thing, so could you please talk matt giraffe into adding it? ;)

Yeah, this is hard.... It seems you have good ideas, but don't have the technical skills to make your ideas successful. I've got a bunch of great movie ideas, but I can't write scripts for crap, so I will probably never be a scriptwriter. I know at one point you had called upon the help of "a better artist" to do one of your concepts, and i think that's a smart move. Needless to say, it is a cute idea, as mentioned before.

idea is pretty good, if the dinos were redone so they didnt look like shark lizards it would be cool.
bananaphone
   bananaphone on Jun 07 '06
Why does everyone assume that I have apparently tried to draw something technical, failed, and drawn this?

I drew this for a reason - because it is comical. I did not want this to be a technical drawing out of some dinosaur book.

its to huge for the shirt :P
no really id like it smaller
and the tect moved BELOW the dinosaurs...
but i LOVE the design and that idea
very sweet
I give it a strong 4... and an I'd buy it
Killerlamb

No text and I'll give you a 4. ://

wxrst on Jun 08 '06
yeah i agree..no text, and a tad smaller. it's a cute idea though :D i'd get it with just a few revisions ;D
Killerlamb
Killerlamb on Jun 08 '06
Well, not NO text...just different text. Unworked comic sans is ugly. Also, it should be positioned below the dino's.

that aint comic sans killer...

Concept isn't bad, but it's the poor execution - work it harder. Rework the text, not sure if you need to re-do the message, but kill that typeface. Also, as already been said, the size is tres large.

Also, as a note, don't diss people within the design, advertising and marcomms community when you're a designer on the up. It will bite you on the ass.

I dis idiots not designers, and I don't see how thats a relevant comment anyway. I merely promote nuzzling your dinosaur.

YeahYeahYouWere on Jun 08 '06
I still think, despite the logical location for the red being near the gums, that it should be on the tips of the teeth. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter. But my own opinion tells me that it would look better that way.

Like, when you were a kid, and you drew bloody teeth, where did you put the blood on the teeth? If you're going to draw everything else like an 8 year old, make the teeth like an 8 year old too.

"Clearly you're an idiot that doesn't understand the concept of jokes. Regardless this IS an example of a love heart used in a more amusing fashion than "hey heres a tshirt with a heart on it over where your actual heart would be" "

the word you're looking for is sarcasm. it would do you good to read up on it. ;)

"the word you're looking for is sarcasm. it would do you good to read up on it. "

It would do you good to know what something is before using it as a cop out.
bananaphone
   bananaphone on Jun 08 '06
Sarcasm does not = "Oh i said something seriously, but then I got called up on it, so now I am going to say I was just sarcastic to try and look smart again"
SellTheSunrise
SellTheSunrise on Jun 09 '06
You...really are full of yourself aren't you? I mean, at first I thought you were merely being playful, which enticed me to do the same , but that you took myself and my comments that seriously proves otherwise.

For the record, there was no cop-out. I literally meant the word you were looking for was sarcasm not "jokes" as you stated. But your apparent need for either attention or drama concluded I MUST have been trying to attack you. Humilty's somewhat of a virtue (which by the way, so there's no confusion, means "the quality or state of being humble") but you've proven that you're no more virtuous than you are humorous.

So much for a good time. I liked you too. Ah well.

Goodbye.

Oh no, someone that was acting like a toss and can't admit it no longer likes me. I am going to go cry into my pillow now.

I took you as seriously as anyone else that criticises me, and that's "not very".

I didn't read any comments, especially the long ones, so hopefully I'm still allowed to say that I really really like this.
VONMOEBIUS
VONMOEBIUS on Jun 12 '06
i have 3 things too say here as i have read over peoples comments and the designer's responses.

1. this portion of the site is so u can try and get a shirt put into production so attacking people who comment, even if you dont agree with them, leaves a bad taste and may cause other people to give you lesser ratings than they may have originaly planned.

2. dont be a dick to people who comment, not everyone is gonna like your stuff and yeah it would be nice to hear everyone say "i love it" but no one can improve or get better without critisiscm to challenge your thoughts, ideas & skill. pick and choose what you want to heed but dont put people down. after all people are just giving their thoughts in the attemp to help out. they dont have to, so respect that.

3. you said"Why does everyone assume that I have apparently tried to draw something technical, failed, and drawn this?
I drew this for a reason - because it is comical. I did not want this to be a technical drawing out of some dinosaur book. "
i hate to say it, but if this is what u feel is the general reaction then your design is not working. if it needs you to tell us what u are trying to acheive than it isn't strong enough to stand on its own and needs to be reworked.

   bananaphone on Jun 12 '06
I am sorry Von, I didn't realise everyone submitted stuff for the exact same reason including myself.

And I don't want EVERYONE to like my designs, if they did then they'd be shit. So stop telling me I have to go and sell out because it isn't going to happen.

I don't mind people criticising my stuff so long as they do it for reasons that arent completely ignorant.

Man oh man, you're not going to very far in this world by attacking everybody... realize that everyone has an opinion, good or bad, but attacking that opinion just brings you down and your art is thus judged accordingly... chill out just a bit and roll with your style. DAMN...
