OK, now I know I'm insane. I keep submitting the same thing over and over, hoping for different results. Well I'm not insane enough to kill someone because of their weird eye. Now that's just crazy!

What result are you expecting?

Well, more votes, I guess. I was trying to make the hole in the floor look more believable. But Photoshop was being difficult, and then I forgot to save. That's what I get for straying from Illustrator.

Feedback: I like it, it looks very authentic and the wood paneling and heart are both well done. The problem is, no one is going to want to wear this as a shirt. Before you make a design as yourself if you would wear this yourself. If you think twice about it, it's probably not a very good design for a t shirt. Bottom line, no matter how great the artwork is, it still needs to be tailored to its format (in this case a tshirt). I like the idea and love the reference, but it's a far stretch for a shirt. Looking forward to seeing more subs from you in the future though! Keep at it.

I feel you on that point. I posted a version in the pre-derby thread, and it got some love, so I submitted it. The idea was to have the heart where your real heart is, so I got shoehorned into this composition. Thanks for looking and giving your two cents!

I gave you the pre-derby love on this...I would wear it as a Halloween shirt. Maybe that's it...should have waited until September...

Anyway...it's great work! Hope to see more of your designs in the future!
