Shirt.Woot

Any color preferences for this? I'm having trouble deciding...originally picked brown, but now I'm not sure. Also deciding between side or center, but leaning toward center.
Still have to tweak the shadows, the top box is a bit off. Thanks! And time to sleep =_=

brown, kelly green, black, royal blue.

In my experience, much of the recent exhaustion with pop culture comes from the fact that a considerable number of pop culture derby entries garner a lot of their votes not from being the best executed or most clever designs on offer, but simply because people are drawn to what it familiar, recognizable, and already popular.

I like the green shirt the best.

I'm digging the blue. Better contrast, plus, blue and orange (or brown) are complementary.

Haha, I have this idea, based on just how much cats keep stretching all the time:

I know, but to me, showing anatomical impossibility ruins the image. It takes an idea past my ability to suspend disbelief.

I'll suggest something like "I hate Mondays"

And yay for Garfield ^_^

Any suggestions?
(what color should the kitty be?)

Bright blue. O^O

I will be voting for this O^O!!!

inspektordogge wrote:Sorry for resposting this but I wanted an opinion on a few things:
Do the straps look right? Should there be more?
Should I add human parachutists in the background and/or an airplane?

Any thoughts?

I tend to agree with Mavyn that the left limb is kind of off. I think just a bit more forward curve would help it. The straps look fine, and I don't think I'd clutter it up with other elements, it might detract from the joke.

That might allow you to introduce another, simple graphical element and a name could come naturally from there.

I really like it because it is NOT a constellation. You get to use your imagination with it, and it seems a bit more magical.

I'm a green shirt fan, but in this case I agree - really pops on blue.

Frickin' sweet! I still wish you'd sub the original sketch, though. Loved the pencilly look.

I like the side version better - and I am no fan of brown shirts.

My sunny, pile of cats has more definition now. And will probably be called "Can't... move..."



Time for some inking. :^)

I disagree. The perspective is off on the chest piece.

Radscoolian wrote:Time To Eat

I like this, but I'm not a fan of tone on tone designs.
Also, if the cat were black, it would drive home the resemblance to the infamous clock. just an opinion.

I am a fan of black shirts, but I like the blue also. And the off-center design is more pleasing.

And a truly awesome shirt featuring a black cat, making it clear that anyone without a black cat in their life is a sad, empty shell of a person... OK, that may be a little overboard....

Agreed - I've 3 black kitties among the many kitties in my life and they've all been great cats [and good luck ]...

..ain't that the truth...i'm thinking a shirt called "the situation"...wherein a cat is lifting his shirt to reveal his six nipples...lol

Didn't think I would get this done before tonight, but here it is. 4 Colors on black. Hope you all like it!



Also, I think a sheep CLONE TROOPER is next on the list of animal star wars. We'll see.

Thanks for the color choices everyone! Came out differently than my original vision (brown came in last), but that's probably a good thing here since it wasn't feeling quite right.

So far a side placement seems to be preferred, and blue is in the lead, in which case that leads to another question - shadow side, 1 or 2?

Green and off center looks best to me.

I think the shadowing looked better when it was brown.

Exactly.
I have Boba Fetch, so gotta have Darth Meow and look forward to the clone sheep trooper.

nblottie wrote:OK, here we go... probably won't get to work it up until tomorrow night but I wanted to post a sketch. Thoughts?

Absolutely awesome. My husband owns Boba Fetch, I would definitely get this for him (Ok, and maybe one for me too.) Can't wait!

Love it on green and blue, also love the off-center placement. Too many centered pieces lately on woot.

I call it: "I Haz Portalz"

Love it! You probably will be better off changing the title, though. they said no memes or whatever and even though this is no meme, maybe they'll get picky or something. Just a thought.

This is my daughter's kitten, Ralph. He's way more terrifying than she is.

So I have decided to call this "Dreams of fish."

Any other suggestions before posting in 1 hour?

I like the box shade on 1 it flowed a little better with the kitty colors.

I just want to say it would take me forever to draw all those little hairs... I guess it would be a little quicker if I got a pen for my computer.
