The arms are too skinny, or the dwg is distorted.

Re: Bardcore!

For some reason, this reminds me of Heath Ledger as the Joker.

Still it's a very nice design, clean and good colors. Great job!

I don't blame you. I love the iconic look of a classic fountain pen.

If I could work it in without it taking over, it would make a lot of sense.

Thank you Spirit! I do OK with what I got!

Re: Omelette

Im am going to have to comment that in the "lyle the kindly viking episode", the creators of veggie tales also did "hamlet"/"omlett" type story... about a king who ate all of the eggs in the city, so i think the shirt works well with that story.

If they'd specified an identifiable illustration of a recognisable scene from a play, that would have excluded the sonnets. And they didn't specify that baldy blokes in ruffs were essential, either - so I think I'm reasonably on topic with this. Thanks for your concern!

Alright, well, in that case, great shirt! I love swirls, and purple is my favorite color. Good luck!

Like it a lot! Very amusing

Excellent work on the halftones here

Nice illustration work

Like this one better. Excellent work as always

Nicest Shakespeare illustration I've seen in a while

Re: King of infinite space

Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.

Thank you for doing a design like this.

Re: To Bee

It took me a while to figure out the skull was a skull - it looks a lot like a point and shoot camera.

Yeaaaaaah! Go Robin!

Best Shirt I've seen yet.

Iron turns everything yellow in 2 washes. Bleach (I learned the hard way) reacts with the iron in the water and makes it darker. You can use something like heavy duty iron cleaner, but it usually eats through the clothes within 10 washings.

ThatPoshGirl wrote:Hamlet --> omelet is word play and the quote is based on an actual quote from the play. How can this possibly be considered off topic for a theme that is inspired by Shakespeare?

How is it any less on topic than Romeouse and Julirat? Or does topic not apply to gratuitous cuteness?

I realize this wasn't going to win, or get close. But this is total BS, imo.

I had a real hard time figuring this shirt out before it was rejected. I've now done my research, and here's my take on the rejection. The Hamlet - Omelette play is clear, but the quote is a problem.

First of all, the wording is jarring to the sensibilities ("Why not may that be," instead of "Why may that not be...") and then the conversion of "skull of a lawyer" to "shell of a quiche." Hamlet holds a human skull while Omelette holds an eggshell - so far so good. But an eggshell is not the shell of a quiche, the shell of a quiche is pastry and does not contain eggs. And Shakespeare uses the scene to comment on the foibles of lawyers...I can't bring to mind any parallel commentary on quiches (other than the assertion that real men don't eat them).

Maybe if you had created a longer declamation for Omelette to make about the effeminate nature of quiches, of the excesses of cream and cheese and bacon that quiches are heir to, well, then maybe it would have been more on target.

Or maybe if you had used the more often referred to part of this scene (alas, poor Yolkick, I knew him well) it would have fallen on more receptive ears.

About rat and mouse...they re-create the R&J death scene with a rodent-relevant twist...cuteness is a plus, but not essential.

Sorry...trying to help, hope you don't take it as criticism.

Anyway, I thought Melty Man should be happy (after all, it's what Hamlet wanted). Wife thought he should be depressed (it was about suicide). I settled for "huh, would you look at that."

AHHHH!!!!

GMV simply because of the name of the shirt. I laughed aloud in the office and am now explaining the reference.

Re: Team Capulet

This design is pretty much text only, doesn't even make sense, shows no creativity and is basically just pandering to twilight nerds. You could have at least put some style into the lettering.

Re: Verona Apothecary

I'm a guy. If this prints I'll buy it.

Love the design, it's not so "wooty" which means the gf won't complain about me wearing it.

jed1nerd wrote:The stab wound looks great but I don't like the text.

Yea, I thought about the text, originally I didn't have it, but I feel like without the text it has no relation to Shakespeare without the context.

But I suppose I could resub if you all think it is a good idea.

Re: They Doth Protest

They Doth Protest.

"Hath not a mole eyes? Hath not a mole hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is?
If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
If you poison us, do we not die?"

Inspired by Julius Caesar, a tragedy by William Shakespeare. On heather gray. Enjoy.

Amazing title!! Great shirt too, but amazing title. Man, I think I have to pull the dvd out and watch the episode right now.

Re: The Witches of McBeth V2 (version 2)

Your stuff is so much better when you actually create your own characters. This business of constantly redrawing pop culture characters that others have created is old and tired.

Re: Eat Two Brute

Looks great man, especially the colors, and I find the joke hilarious.

I remember as a kid the Little Caesar commercial where the car window would get rolled up on his nose. For some reason that was the funniest thing in the world to me. :P

Re: William and Company

Very nice work! I like how it looks like it's pastels.

bassanimation wrote:I really like the look and feel of this one. However, I liked it better with the anthropomorphic cherry. Not super crazy about the placement being so low, as it will draw attention to an awkward place on the body. Still, I like the work on the shake!

I didn't think the face on the cherry really added much. It was cute, but I thought some people would prefer it without. If it prints, you can mail me your shirt and I'll draw one on just for you.

As for placement, I'm open to it being placed anywhere on the shirt, I just preferred the low placement as it is a long/tall design.

Really though, the graphic element is paying lip-service to the rule. The rule is in place to prevent slogan or text tees. This is a text tee.

Re: Taming of the Shrew

You may want to resub this. I think your 580x580 and 240x240 are switched. (hint, they give you a hint on each place to upload as to where to put each one)
