Re: Elephants
Dude! That is intensely clever, how on earth did you bust that out in 24 hours? :O

Re: Elephants
Only because the misconception is rampant in this Derby, I wanted to clarify: This is not a design in 'henna'. Henna is a plant, and a color, not a style. Mehndi is the style.
And this is great - beautiful work, and so quickly! Hands hurt much? Eyes crossed?

Thanks for clearing it up. I did not know that about the plant.!
It would be sweet if I was able to do this overnight, but truth be told, I've been sitting on this illustration a while, and waiting for a good chance to use it. The original head took forever to finish, and then I had to scan an assemble in chunks.
Glad you all like it!

As much as I am tired of all of the elephants in the derby, when I get henna done next, I WILL have my step mother use this design template to do my hands (its beautiful!)

Re: Elephants
This is beautiful and so intricate!
I know these concerns have been raised before on designs with far less detail... How well can woot print it without losing the detail and how many washes do you think it will take to destroy the design?

Very common misconception/misnomer. I think "mehndi" sounds better than "henna" anyway. Not that how it sounds is that important.

Re: Elephants
...I love elephants and this design is outrageously crazy awesome.
I feel that the size on the shirt's a bit intimidating/big to the point where I don't think I'd buy it as a shirt (maybe to staple on a canvas and hang with my other elephants...<3).
Anyways ^_^ I'll be sure to vote after I buy the shirt from the Star derby that I wanted (assuming it gets through the fog soon...)

Re: Elephants
I absolutely love how much detail you put into the design. I hope this one wins so that I can buy one!

- Congratulations on winning a Best Loser Award!
- This is not SPAM.
- Winning a BLA does NOT mean this shirt won't print -- I'm hoping it does.
- Your one and only gift is this crappy little badge in your shirt thread. Enjoy.
- Q.O.T.S.A. on the hi-fi; we were talking via wi-fi; so much Aqua Teen and sci-fi...
