I'm throwing in a vote in honor of the Whittier {CA} Greenway Trail - formerly a branch of the UP.

are you kidding me??? Miyazaki scenery tends to look almost real in most of the movies this looks like a normal cartoon you would see on Saturday morning.... about 20 years ago when they still had Saturday morning cartoons B^P

Re: Clean Up

Isn't that the Amalgamated Paint Roller factory?

Re: Plant a tree

This would be so perfect to wear to tree planting events! My current tree planting event shirt is Giant Sequoia. That's right, I have a tree planting shirt.

Re: Only Memories

I absolutely love this. I'm a sucker for bunny shirts already but this is amazing. I so hope this makes it to print.

Re: Open Your World

Time and time again I love your designs. Your ideas always seem to be something outside the box and I'm never disappointed. This one is no exception.

Re: Nature's Gardner

The flower on the watering can really pulls this together for me.

Re: Only Memories

This makes me happy and yet makes me want to cry at the same time.

Re: Our Own Dam Place

This is adorable, and the title just makes me smile.

Re: Naturestache

So many little details about this that I love. Your designs always make me smile.

Re: Open Your World

..beautiful image, but what i love most about the design is how it works so well where it's placed...as a shirt it gives the illusion that the wearer has a hole in his/her chest...that visual, combined with a picture of the world that takes its point of view from the depths of a cave, calls to mind all sorts of introspection...

gmv...

Lovely!

That and what's going on with the girl's silhouette...looks a lil wonky. I love the concept though.

mrwednesday wrote:The design and execution are good save for the fact that you had to pander to the bunny crowd rather than use an animal that would actually be in an urban area. Really cheapens the design and detracts from the execution. It's pretty disappointing actually. At this stage you might as well have thrown in a penguin and a turtle for good measure.

Why can't a bunny live in an urban area. I see them fairly often in the urban sprawl we call Denver. I also saw them all over the place while I was in Phoenix 2 weeks ago. This design doesn't have to be NYC? You sound more like you dislike Patrick then anything else.

I have been reading these forums for a long time now but have never posted until now. Patrick, your design is amazing. Good luck in the derby!

Re: I Heart Trees

No two trees the same, just as it should be. Really like the inventive shapes and colour scheme. Both your designs for this derby are quite different but both very effective.

Re: Rabbit of Red Rocks

Makes me want to go for a road trip. I love the rabbit and his expressive ears.

Re: I Heart Trees

Looks great!

I have to agree on this - the colors on the thumbnail are very sharp (for example, the highlights on the left side of the tree trunks), while on the shirt image they are fuzzy.

The thumbnail GMV before coming over here - I'm interested to know whether it's just a problem with using the template... which one are the shirts going to look like?

Please.......I'm from Denver. Rabbits are neither plentiful nor common in the city and any that might be are not all white cotton tails. This is a phenotype of bunny used primarily by ramy and copied by Patrick to pander to that crowd. It is clearly working but it's insulting to everyone to pretend it makes sense outside of that. Don't be so naive.

Re: Growth

This'll be a cool kids' shirt

Re: I Heart Trees

I love the little fox at the bottom... while at the same time I'm a little curious - why a fox? Just for the pop of color?

QFT - Citizen Coyote nailed it. This is so accurate!

(In other news of non-melancholy shirts... I'm still hoping that the uh-oh robin with the worm will make a comeback.)

Re: Lake

This thumbnail caught my eye - love the little deer - but looking at the overall picture, it looks like an eraser came through the middle. I'm not sure if that is what was intended? I wish there were a little bit of connection between the top and bottom elements of the design.

Re: Only Memories

wow, this makes my heart ache. i think it's one of the best designs/concepts conveyed in a derby. i interpret the application of the theme to this shirt as "appreciate what you have, or else..." definitely getting one if it prints

The eyes are so hilarious ^^!

Don't forget there is a fox also on the tree;)

The girl is wonky, there are some 'non tree' animals because this is not realistic depiction of things but my own depiction of nature that hopefully gives you some emotion and makes you go out and enjoy the true beauty of nature!

Re: Tropic Moon

I want it for my Hawaii trip. O^O

Incredible!

Re: Naturestache

Hahaha... Brilliant!!! I love it :D

inspektordogge wrote:This is really cool, but it might be out of the printable area, which is 16"x20". The landscape looks kinda bright for it being nighttime, have you tried making it all a bit darker, more subtle? Anyway, I really like this and especially like the way you handled the bottom edge. It looks way more natural than a gradient would. Welcome to shirt.woot!

Thanks inkspektordogge. I did take some liberties in coloring the landscape because I wanted the colors of arch to be vibrant and the mountains in the background to be apparent. Originally, I just had the arch, but it looked lonely.

Thanks for liking the bottom. I wanted to blend the bottom into the shirt, but didn't want a gradient, so I played around and came up with that idea.

Also my canvas was 16"x20", but when I put it on the woot template it seemed to go over the lines. I checked it a few times.

Thanks for the critique.

Thank you all! I'm glad you like it!:D

Because foxes are awesome? ;)

I like that some of the trees look a little alien. :D

Re: I Heart Trees

I think I would like this even better without the fox. Now it takes all the attention from the trees. But great design otherwise!

mrwednesday wrote:The design and execution are good save for the fact that you had to pander to the bunny crowd rather than use an animal that would actually be in an urban area.

To me, it makes perfect sense : the rabbits are forced to live in the city, because there is simply no nature anymore (hence the title).

By the way, it reminds me of Mickey 3D's clip "Respire"

The actual print file looks closer, and possibly brighter, to the thumbnail version. I think what is going on is that in the comp the detail of the halftones (because they are so bright) are washing out the shirt colors...

so here is the link to a big version, I hope this helps.

Thank you for the compliment.

Re: Rabbit of Red Rocks

The Rabbit (or is it hare) is great! I want to buy all the shirts that has realistic bunnies. Only nitpick to me is that this is so America centric. I would love to see forest version of this. And on different shirt color, not fan of beige shirts.

Re: Nature Ride

Fresh!
