I'd like to see a movie based off of this concept. But that just might be me.

interesting - my only complaint is the overlap of the 2 large ants makes it a little hard to read - it would help if the ant in the back was pushed farther into the background/made shorter - so that the heads and backs aren't on the same level (which is what's making it hard to visually seperate)

I agree with rudra. it's hard to distinguish between those two ants. would be hard to see the shirt from a distance

this design NEEDS to be printed and also NEEDS to be placed on the bottom right. Plus, it gets extra points for its imagination of a brave new world and the fact that i named my first faux motion picture company "Hail Ants! Productions".

Wicked - as my good friend wullagaru said its based on the idea of how the names good be misleading - and hears a little story...



Based on a conversation i had in the pub (aren't they all?) about giant anteaters and how the name is slightly misleading. I kind of like playing with the idea of there being giant ants (you still with me...). Kind of like, on an alternate evolutionary path, ants have grown to become elephant like in size, but are still ants, just oversized ones (in herds maybe), as a result anteaters have been forced to become more sociable and hunt in packs, (like lions or wolves) they still look-like anteaters, maybe a little leaner.



Anyway they stalk there ant prey (i've thought about this too much) before bursting from the undergrowth in teams of two (start to think about Star Wars now...) maybe one on anothers back, facing the other way, they start to chase down the giant ant, the larger, carrier anteater, gallops after it. (Here comes the Star Wars bit...)



The anteater riding on the back, then, using its long sticky tounge, latches on to one of the ants leg (Think Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Battle of Hoth, Snowspeeders vs AT AT) before the two anteaters run around the giant ant, tying up its legs, bringing it down, before moving in for the kill...



Had great fun working on this with Wullagaru - and thanks for all the comments so far : )

it's hard to distinguish between the two ants. however, the colors rock and the placement is superb.

I love it 5$, although i agree it is a bit hard to distinguish the ants

the ants look like weird elephants. their legs should go out to the side; they shouldn't be underneath them.

Beautiful design, the ants in the middle are too close together and confusing, hard to seperate them out. Other than that it looks great!

the lighter anteater in the bottom right corner looks like snuffy from sesame street.

Hey man i love the design, the colors are exelent, the concept is wonderful. but the one thing that bothers me... just a bit... is that i wish it didnt end at the side of the shirt. the flat side of it bothers me... if you had extended it and made it wrap a bit to the back i would have liked it better.



good job man
