I really like the "winnie the pooh" style of this design.

The only thing that bothers me is the snowflake. I think the hard line makes it look more like an insect buzzing around. Maybe dash the line to soften it, and make the snowflake look like an actual snowflake to define it better.

I agree. I thought it was a firefly at first.

I didn't realize it was a snowflake until after I read all the comments. I'm not even sure you'd need the black line at all.

I drove over Donner Pass earlier this week and the coverage was about 10%. Usually by this time of year you can see no ground.

The artwork is stunning, but I'd like to see it with no black line.

I actually like the black line. It helps make the snow more obvious, and not just a white dot on the shirt. That being said, it would be nice to have the snowflake more defined. Not a big concern though.

I agree maybe the line is a bit too hard, but I'm not sure how best to change it whle still demonstrating the motion and the floating down. It kindof looks liek a string currently. But other than that I love it. Strong stuff.

I think the black line is fine, as I didn't see an insect until reading the comments. I think the context will carry it just fine.

I'm not sure...when I saw the polar bear, I immediately thought of the Coca Cola winter commercials.

He's also wearing a Santa hat. This shirt will be obsolete for about 11 months in t-minus 9 days and counting!

Love it. The black line might be a tad thick, but to be honest I didn't really notice it until much later. I'm just happy it's not a bunguin!

First flecks of snow just started and amazing - look exactly like yours! Well done.

Re: Let It Snow


This might even work best with NO snowflake. Since it's fallen from the fog, that might be a suitable resub.

Re: Let It Snow


Thanks a bunch for all the support on this one everyone! Sorry to see it drop, obviously, but I really didn't anticipate this kind of response

For the line--I've got a cranberry shirt with this color ink on it, and I think it'd print much more subtle than it shows on the screen. And as for the snowflake--any detail would only be appreciated if someone is within a foot of your torso.

I was really excited to get a decent design to suit cranberry. It's one of my favorites. Every week, I hope my design will work on it, but another color almost always works better

And just for fun: Type "Let it snow" into Google for a neat little easter egg!!!

I was going to comment that it's great to see a nice winter design on cranberry! The mood is perfect and I think the snowflake/line is just fine, I got it immediately and think it conveys what you want.
