About my design

by l8r_h8r
Turns out drawing origami is REALLY hard...

ok stating the obvious here... shouldn't the reflection be of a crane? Either that or the origami should be of a swan...

I think it needs to be accurate otherwise people will look at the shirt and go "isn't that supposed to be a crane?" like I just did... but I do really like this a lot anyway!

Great idea, but really must be a crane and a crane or it is just wrong.

i disagree, i like the crane/swan, sort of like an ugly duckling thing... great design!

Guys, I think the crane/swan thing is the point lol. I'm not sure about the elipse. Maybe another, just to make that ripple impression a bit clearer?

I love it! Though I agree that it should be a crane in the water.

I totally agree about the swan crane thing. I do. But Google cranes on images, and you se the truth... Cranes are just ugly as hell

Thanks guys

I take it back, you're right, cranes are not ugly, but the fact stands that they do look different than paper cranes

this is fantastic just the way it is. i don't think the crane/swan discrepancy is a big deal at all. i love the color in the beak. 5$

The concept is awesome. I think the reflection could be a little more clear... as in, easier to understand that it's a reflection.

The line on the bottom right corner of the neck shouldnt be there. It should be on the base of the body going up to the neck like you did on the left side.

Aaron! nice! i like it, but to some extent i agree--it should be a crane in the water....but at the same time, i think it might change the concept, you know?

Oragami is pretty easy to do, in comparison to drawing oragami. Very nice idea though, I'd like to see it in greyscale if possible.

l8r_h8r on Oct 16 '06
Ohhhh yeah. Thought it was going to be a piece o cake, but took me over an hour

I agree with more ripple lines. Everything else is excellent.
l8r_h8r
l8r_h8r on Oct 16 '06
Do you mean more distortion in the reflection, or another elipse?

Thanks

would be awesome if it were less obviously vectored and more hand-drawn-ish.

Swan works just fine. Might sound weird but the design touched my heart - like "ohmygodineeditnow!!" If I saw it on a rack at the store I would mosey right up to the counter. $5, and if it doesn't get made, I will cry big salty tears. Of death.

I love this, but the 2-d swan looks weird with the 3-d crane, and I also agree that is should be a crane, not a swan.

Awesome idea. Better if it was a crane and a crane.

l8r_h8r on Oct 19 '06
I think that if I do decide to make them the same animal, it wil be too swans; the problem is papre cranes and real cranes look very different form eachother
