In which a funny-looking flying goldfish dreams a little.

Really great design and layout. I do however wish that the blue whale was a tad larger and the goldfish a tad smaller so the whale at least had the appearance of being at least a little bigger than the fish.

Re: I want to be Blue

Whoa! This is really pretty! Nicely drawn whale and fishy!

Re: I want to be Blue

aw, that's cute. Kinda like the amphibious odd couple...

re: i want to be blue

So pretty. I love your work.

The whale is really beautiful!

Re: I want to be Blue

very nicely done, my favorite of the day

Aaah, 'cause in reality the goldfish would be a speck next to the blue whale, I decided to hang size when I was drawing. But you're right, a little size shifting wouldn't go amiss-- something to keep in mind the next time I decide to draw...er, differently sized creatures. Thanks for noting!

And many thanks to all you guys for the lovely comments on the artwork, 's very kind of you. I'm very glad it's to your approval.

Incredible!! If this wins, I'll be buying several.

I hope this wins because the ones I wanted didn't win the last derby. And I'd be in for 2.

Yeah, the limitations of the shirt canvas are very tough and true scale would be impossible. At the same time, even though I think the impression of the proper size difference would look more natural, I think the way it's presented adds a certain fantasy feel to the design which I quite like.

beautiful. i really hope this wins. i want to buy it so bad.

shoot!

didn't realize that is a whale. I guess one amphibian and one mammal odd couple

Re: I want to be Blue

I LOVE this!! I like that the fish has those oogly eyes :P and the subtle blues in the whale are beautiful. Definitely GMV & buying when/if it prints.

as you said, the goldfish is dreaming - and wouldn't it be natural for the dream to be as big as the whale?

Re: I want to be Blue

I saw this in the thread before the derby opened and I thought it looked great. Still looks great now, and I like how smooth the flow is on the image. It's very organic, and very soothing, like water! Nice design to fit the theme quite well.

Re: I want to be Blue

Very well done. The proportions are driving me crazy though.

Re: I want to be Blue

Hello!

Re: I want to be Blue

Awesome! One of the best shirts I've seen in a long while. I can't wait to buy it!

Re: I want to be Blue

This needs to go back in the FoG. Immediately. ((((( I want ittttttt

Yeah, if it doesn't win, I'll cry.

Re: I want to be Blue

I LOVE THIS. Giant goldfish to ride from terrific Wisconsin

Re: I want to be Blue

I really love the goldfish. The whale is great too, I like it's belly. veryverynice!

Re: I want to be Blue

HOLY scaffolding, that is one huge goldfish or one very tiny blue whale!

That would be awesome to have a tiny blue whale to sing me to sleep. Maybe Jewels guitar playing whale could start a band with the tiny blue whale and live in a tank in my house. That would be sweet! Of course this is all assumption that the guitar playing whale is also tiny.

Great design!

Re: I want to be Blue

Your line work and color use are superb. I love how the blue shines against the goldfish's orange color. Beautiful!

Re: I want to be Blue

I got the 'big blue' concept here. Admittedly a bit abstract, I think the blue whale and a concept around that works.

Re: I want to be Blue

I love whales and I really want this shirt. How do I get it if it doesn't place in the top 3?

Re: I want to be Blue

really, really nice.

if this doesnt make it to print please try and submit it again if the topic fits. i really like this shirt.

Re: I want to be Blue

There's a possible chance of an HM, but that sort of thing is unpredictable. I'd probably have to change the design pretty heavily for it to be a resub, but I'll have to see what I can do with it once woot's 60 days pass. Sorry to those who're disappointed this time round, but thanks so much for all the support. I'm glad you guys liked this one.
