just try and figure it out!
|
 |
Cute without the text.
|
 |
Agreed. :3
|
 |
the text is ruining it for me
|
 |
I feel like it needs some kind of text to hit ya w/ that sarcastic punch. Maybe try a different font? I like how it mirrors the curv of the sun and stuff!
|
 |
Kinda phallic, no?
|
 |
lofty softy on Feb 07 '07 awesome! i love it, text and all!
|
 |
$5!
|
 |
cute -text.
|
 |
noponies on Feb 07 '07 nice work, the text is superfluous
|
 |
My mind may be a little entrenched in the gutter... but this is far too suggestive to me...
|
 |
this is great! i don't usually wear brown but i definitely would wear this! $5!!
|
|
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Feb 08 '07 i'm glad SOME of you are satisfied...but note this:
the text is necessary...crit in the crit section... sometimes you don't need to THINK too hard to appreciate something. this isn't quantum physics, it's a t-shirt design. it's awesome |
 |
jpiatt on Feb 08 '07 Nah...it doesn't need that text.
Then again, I don't think the design is very strong with or without the text. I don't see the point of this except for to attempt to be a semi-cute image. It's not doing anything for me. 1. Sorry dude. |
|
I like it! Only I'm not sure if it has a point or joke or anything...I prefer the t's I buy from here to be somewhat witty. And I don't think that was the intention here...Which is fine. It looks great.

I like it and I have to agrre with the artist: text is necessary, in this case. And I really liked your idea on tees not needing to be like quantum physics, even tho most people here probably disagree.
|
|
I generally feel if you need to explain your design for people to understand it, then your design has failed.
That being said, it's cute and I give it a 4! |
 |
It may be that I'm being mentally lazy right now, but I don't get it....
|
 |
i love the slogan, coupled
with the happy faces. you've got me sold. $5 |
|
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Feb 08 '07 to those that don't get it: there's nothing (or at least not much) to get.
if you do get it, you'll chuckle. if you don't you'll be baffled. regardless of either, if you like the image, vote high...if you don't like jpiatt, vote low. but again, it isn't brainsurgery in which you need to "get it" or someone's brain get's scrambled...it's a shirt, and if you don't "get it" you can still put it on. lemme ask you one thing: AH MUNNA EATCHU...you know that muffin with a face saying that...one colour...NOTHING TO GET. you all still loved it. i miss the good old days. |
|
Settle down guy. I was just wondering if it was referring to something clever or funny. I guess not.
AH MUNNO EATCHU = FUNNY AND CUTE AND OBVIOUS mercy for the weak = the opposite. ...now, if you will excuse me, I must get back to brain surgery patient and after that, I'm gonna make a rocket. |
 |
Max F on Feb 08 '07 4 !
|
 |
I'm so confused
|
 |
It's a giant furry narwhal!
|
|
are you serious?!
i know that, i mean "mercy for the week"?? |
|
weak*
|
|
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Feb 08 '07 it's a giant furry YETICORN.
AH MUNNO EATCHU = cupcake with face, and yes it's obviously SAYING something...beyond that, it makes as much sense nay, actually less sense than this. |
 |
i like the text but i don't like the little railroad tracks that look like a small child drew on your design. i guess i do not "get it" but why do i care? i think it is cute.
|
 |
In AH MUNNO EATCHU i think the text relates more to the muffin. Since humans eat muffins, it's the muffin seeking revenge. But with 'Mercy is for the weak" I don't see the relation to the mountain scenery. Ambiguous.
|
|
the text is required
|
 |
wullagaru on Feb 08 '07 the text is required otherwise the image while fun and cute isnt as much fun as it could be. with the added semi- bad ass message it makes it hilarious
|
 |
fatheed on Feb 08 '07 Text is a prerequisite. I just wanted to say prerequisite. I like the choo-choo train and the oxymoronic juxtaposition of the copy and the visual.
|
|
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Feb 08 '07 the yard and wullagaru (who btw always stands by my work, whether he realizes or not) both know what's up!
thanks fellers! |
 |
I think I get it... haha
It's a little too cutesy for me, but I like it all the same. A four for you! |
 |
The text is good because its very deep and serious and contrasts with the cuteness and weeness (does that word exist) of the rest of the shirt, at least that is how I interpreted this.
|
 |
noponies on Feb 07 '07
nice work, the text is superfluous I wonder if you know what that word means. It's a completely different shirt with the text. Like everyone and their grandmother is saying, 'ROMG cute w/o text lol!' With the text it's less cute. Reminds me of the Engrish stuff a little, just for the sheer dichotomy of the text and picture. I'd probably buy it with the text, I'd maybe give it to a three year old without it. |
 |
love it. so adorable.
|
 |
too big. i like it, just think i'd like it more if it were smaller and possibly off-center.
|
 |
the idea is great, the graphics, not so much. It seems jokey. A more serious font with some kind of threatening image would be more powerful, like a mountain in a storm or something.
|
|
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Feb 09 '07 you miss the point entirely...ENTIRELY. wow.
|
 |
I still like yeticorn.
Regardless of everyone else's confusion. but seriously, more yeticorn, please. |
|
wow. thats all i have to say.
|
 |
no text/

|
loose the text. it would be better without it
|
 |
i'm not looking for some deeper meaning hidden within the text of this shirt. i'm just taking it like it is and not worrying about whether or not i "get" anything. like woody guthrie said, "any damn fool can be complicated; it's the simplicity that retains genius."
that said, juxtaposition is a pretty genius tool. it's the easiest and most effective form of irony-- and aren't we all fans of irony? just take the unexpected for what it is and don't try and make a correlation that means something. if a "statement" was in the works here, i'd bet it'd be more obvious. they usually are. i don't know why people can't just enjoy a fun design. |
 |
I just think of the Karate Kid when i hear or see the words "Mercy is for the Weak!" And then Johnny sweeps the leg. This illo, however, is cute and random but not for me. How to improve it? Sell it to someone else who might like it, but it's not my thing. BTW, R.O.B. the Robot, you threw many people off by them thinking that to "get it" you needed to associate the words on the shirt with the scene above it. So, way to mis-direct people. Wierd and/or random for the sake of being weird and/or random never does much for me, so I must pass. Like i said, not a bad illo tho.
|
 |
took me a sec to get it. but i laughed i would wear it.
|
 |
i think i can ?
|
 |
why does so many people have a problem with text?? sometimes you need it others you dont. just seems like anything with text, people say lose it
|
|
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Mar 31 '07 but so many of you like the family guy and ATHF...this is so much better and even less put onn than those...
y'all some suckaz |
 |
i'm pretty sure that this should've got a higher score!
|
|
it sort of reminded me of the little engine that could.. yes? no? maybe? no? well, it's still cute ... ha
