Thank you!

Re: Drifting Note

Looks better. You should get more votes with this one.

Re: On That Note

I think this is gorgeous!

I can never tell if people are just trying to be obnoxious in making comments about anatomy on a picture like this, or if you truly believe that I think that people have 4 teeth and no bottom jaw. And either way, your comment especially doesn't make sense, because you don't go to a doctor to have him tell you about your body proportions or to change the size of the nasal cavity in your skull. Either way though, if you are legitimately concerned, know that you may rest at ease for a while because I'm still an undergrad.

RadioMode it would be wise to take in the emotional reactions people are having to the colors you selected, instead of being offended. Color selection is critical and you have selected a very "pretty, bright" color pallete...not to mention you used butterflies which in most societies have a strong female association. Personally, I am female, and while I like feminine designs, I really don't like the bright colors and yellow tee shirt. A few subtle tweeks to the color scheme and perhaps a different color tee and this design could have reached new levels of sophistication...and perhaps could it have been a unisex shirt. I really don't think anyone is trying to tear you down here, your design is well executed and obviously people are voting FOR you. Listening to your voting audience will only improve your future performance.

Up to this point I have not written a single reply to the comments about the t-shirt color.

I have no idea from which you draw the conclusion of me being offended. Please dont put word in my mouth.

I appreciate all ppl comments about the t-shirt color! Everyone has their own favorite color(s). I personally like bright colors (or in general, everything that has colors). I also found that if you check the reckoning chart, the longest running t-shirts are all in colors.

The other 3 t-shirts in the fog right now are all in black, navy, or asphlat. I think those are the safest options. But this one is different, and I believe that fact alone should be exciting.

Re: Electronica

Wow! Great design! Does the "?" mean you are one of the top three? Deservedly so if that is the case!

lunchboxbrain wrote:I'll address these questions just to clarify everything. All of the elements (sheet music, bird, phonograph and hand) in this design were originally public domain images. That being said, all elements have been modified to the point where I feel 100% comfortable in saying that this design is an original work.

If you've voted for this and feel somehow duped, I understand if you want to rescind your vote. I'm not the first artist to use found images in a design and I won't be the last.

Again, I truly appreciate everyone who has voted/supported this design and I hope you'll continue to do so.

I really still like the design and appreciate the honesty. My vote stands.

Re: One Man Band

I love this design it stands out from all the rest every time I scroll down the page! Nice job!

Seki - I don't suppose you could humour us and submit a second version without the ipod, or a more ambiguous mp3 player? I would rather even just a cord pile than an ipod... if enough people wanted it, it could still make it up into the fog...

Is the problem mitigated slightly if the screen is made slightly bigger? Because this is something that can be done without resubmitting. But anyway, this is definitely not endorsing a product, if it were really an apple endorsement, the headphones would certainly be white. (also they would be earbud headphones. :p) I can sort of see how it would be seen that way a little bit, but it was not the intention, and I really want people to understand that.

The other thing is that while the height/width are ipod-ish, it's definitely a simplified version to the extent that it could easily be a generic mp3 player. There aren't the little white play/pause markers on the click wheel, for one. :p Also the screen is already larger than a normal ipod, and it is more boxy (as opposed to curved).

Re: One Note Wonder

Great use of negative space.

Re: Studio Spoonist: the Hired Gun

Wow, I really love your drawing style!!

Re: A Musical Fantasy Awaits

Oh gosh - I seriously nearly cried when I saw this. Fantasia has been my favorite movie of all time, ever since my father took me to see it when I was a young child. ALL the music is fantastic, but I always personally thought that the Dukas piece was the most moving of all... Mickey and Yensid and the Brooms just brought it to the attention of a wider audience

Being a realist, it does not look like you will win this derby. But if you get this printed elsewhere, please please please let me know; I will buy one for sure!!

Here is Decomposition renamed and readvertised

jasneko wrote:Hey great change but... no violin bow?

I tried to think of where this little bumblebee would carry his bow. So my conclusion was that he has a collapsible one that is stashed safely inside his satchel. One can never "Bee" too careful with musical instruments! Thanks for the post. : )

Re: Toy Soldier with a guitar!

Wow! I really love the concept.

I think it would be better served by adjusting the guitar's color so it's less orange and more brown, and extending the color down the neck of the guitar as well- presently, the neck is too indistinguishable from the soldier's hand, and outlining both in bright green compromises the legibility of both. Perhaps the soldier's arm could keep the green color, and the guitar could instead be outlined in a bright orange that the body currently has.

Aside from that, though, great shirt.

This is really beautiful. Great design!

It doesn't really seem like an iPod reference to me, since you've got the big headphones and there's not a lot of detail on the player. To me it looks like a generic MP3 player.

Re: ShirtRoll'd

Oi! Mosh good! I just got it. I kind of hate you and love you at the same time. That is a genius idea. GMV

I'm very disappointed this is not in the top 4...it is one of the best by far and I would love to have this shirt. This takes much more thought and creativity than a music pirate. Congrats on the awesome design!

Awesome

Re: High Fidelity

How imaginative! I appreciate that the two primary elements, the blimp and the houses, are both as... weird as they are. A simple blimp with a loudspeaker blaring at a bunch of normal houses would have been boring, but this is unusual. Kind of has a Dr. Seussy feel to it. It makes the image not just about music but whatever strange story is being told by this scene, however ambiguous that is; the single lit house certainly helps in that regard.

Good job! GMV.

Re: Wizard Guitar Duel

Thanks everyone for the positive responses and comments. I'm glad that my design has struck a chord with some of you (no pun intended, I swear!).

HarlequinHeart: I would love to see one of those rocker vans, they sound really cool!

I'm glad to see a shirt with bold color choices doing well. :D I think that bright colors work very well on lemon; the only lemon shirt I have is bright red/gold on lemon, but it looks great.

Not sure if you intended this, but the lemon is also great for having the CMYK color scheme.

And of course the design is awesome. :D Good luck!

hey man,

I love the design. Ignore the people with sticks up their asses, the people who are retardedly stuck up, and yet even others who are too insecure to wear a yellow shirt with a bit of pink on it. I am fricken buying this shirt the second it goes on sale.

peace

Re: All You Need Is Love - Waveform

It's too bad this isn't in the fog. If it were, we'd be getting some classic Adder rants

But, seriously, I echo the sentiment someone else put up already--this design has absolutely no context to it. No one looking at it could even begin to guess what this is.

Re: Murder in C Major

Such an awesome-awesome shirt.

Re: Electronica

Riffmaster's best shirt since crystalize! Huzzah, got my 10 bucks!

it is just the bass clefs making up the heart, base cleft has the dots.

Re: Death of The Music Man

I just want to say I think the piano key teeth are brilliant. I was so certain this would end up in the fog.
