About my design
by travis76   
excuse the crude gif conversion, the lines are all fat and crisp in the true vector file.
no explanation, I just like it! I guess I tend to believe that animals know more than they let on, and I'd like to think that all our trash could get recycled into nifty little outfits and tools for crafty vermin....our day is coming!

This design is awesome, it reminds me of The Rats of N.I.M.H. It looks best on the lower left hand corner in my opinion.

Pencil lead should be black since he is writing in black. And maybe a little less tan shadowing on the wrench, and more of the light blue color. $5 great illustration !

Ellsswhere
   Ellsswhere on Jun 08 '06
designs like this can either be good or great... what sets them apart is how much the artist thinks about the concept and details... seeing the pencil is sharpened by the rat chewing it down, now thats quality.
5$ even if i wouldnt wear it

i agree that the lead should be black, since the writing is black

otherwise great
centered or lower placement
5$
travis76
   travis76 on Jun 08 '06
the lead can change...the blue against the paper was to confusing, and tan was already in the wood, but probably the best choise. design wise, the red balances the red on the other side.
but yes, 'realistically' it is wrong.

amazing art. i wish more people who submitted stuff had artistic talent like you
AngelMonkey
AngelMonkey on Jun 09 '06
This is a great design, but I think a big rat in the middle of my chest would be weird... so I think the lower corner placement is best for this piece. With that placement, I'd totally buy it.
travis76
   travis76 on Jun 09 '06
yeah, there hasn't been a good lower placed tee in a while, has there? other than reprints?

brbieder
brbieder on Jun 09 '06
I dont get it? No offense, it is a great illustration, but honestly, I would not wear a shirt with a rat writing KILL on it...it is too gothy. I dont know, I guess I just like my shirts happy.
5trawberry
5trawberry on Jun 09 '06
This is really, really cool! Totally a 5$ score.

I would go for the shoulder placement simply because I don't have any t-shirts with design placement there.
jennyraggett
jennyraggett on Jun 09 '06
I agree with brbieder. I guess the illustration is nice, but I just don't get it. Who is the rat going to kill? And why?

   travis76 on Jun 09 '06
hilarious. there is nothing goth about this shirt.

who is the rat going to kill and why?

that's what imagination is for.

there are TOO many happy shirts. this is not a horror shirt, this is a sci fi shirt.
jennyraggett
jennyraggett on Jun 09 '06
Yeah..sorry, I dont get it, and I feel I have an imagination...

cinderwild on Jun 13 '06
I like it alot.

Yeah Yusecki, it reminds me of that too, now that I think about it.

(Fun fact: The movie 'The Burrowers' used a blue screen, so thats why theres a huge absence of dark blue, etc. Coincidentally, this submission (besides light blue) has no blue)
