What female goldfish hasn't joyfully fantasized about being courted and swept off her fins by an extremely tall, dark and wealthy whale? Wedding bells soon follow and suddenly they have 7 new additions to the family: 5 girls, 1 boy and a full-time English butler octopus. The spread of happiness and joy is so dense they can hardly see their 5-story pagoda floating in the distance. Your votes and comments are greatly appreciated.

I love this illo. but notice how the upper left corner feels so static while thr rest of the illo is dynamic? It's b/c the pagoda and the blue heart are lined up w/ each other. Make the pagoda significantly higher than the rest of the illo and life is GOLD!!! 5$

I like this a lot, you should also have a little version of just the gold fish on the back of the shirt, just because she is so cute. Also, on a red shirt!

WOW, great detail, smooth lines, whimsical idea. I'd go with blue or maybe orange, lower right (as you are looking at the shirt), since the eye seems to naturally want to climb up the rt side of the image anyway.
