I considered it, but I feared Pluto would distract from the overall feel of it. I know, I know, I over-think things sometimes, lol.

Thank you! I'm not really a fan of them either, but I can see the appeal, especially artistically. It's fun to design with the curves and swirls of their tentacles.

Thanks! I indeed feel a lot better art-wise, and I'm more proud of this than last week's. I think I just needed a few days to not touch Photoshop.

I think this is my favourite design in the derby and I very well may purchase it if it goes to print. I'm worried about the dots though... they already look fairly big on the comp, so they'll probably be bigger in print. The small shirt comp looks absolutely amazing though. It's spectacular.
Eight planets really does work out for you too, though I wish pluto was off all alone in the corner. 
Right then. Voted.
Thanks, e. I worried over the size of the dots as well. I started working on this before I saw they had limited the size, so I had to add a stroke around them until the smallest were 30 pixels. I wanted to have varied sized dots, which meant there had to be some that were larger than 30px. I think it would look better if the limit had been 15px, but I'll have to live with it. Anyway, it's great to hear that this is your favorite.
