I first wanted to make the blue whale in correct proportion to the boat and the krill but I ended up making the krill much larger than life and the boat slightly smaller. I wanted to be able to actually draw out each krill instead of having them just be small dots. I only used 2 colors for each shirt color, let me know what you think, and which color you prefer. Thanks!
Pink or Yellow

I love the wrap-around-whale.

nice

Really like it, but not sure about the text at the bottom...

I agree, nix the text for sure, try to illustrate that he's lucky, not point it out. Also, don't print on pink!!!

Ah, I love this!

I agree, though, the text looks a bit odd. Nonetheless– good job!

take out 'the lucky one' and it's great.

I kind of like the pink, but I'm sure it'd look great on other colours too. And I agree that the text is a little unnecessary.. Otherwise, I like it!

lolz cute!

That's guys for the feedback, what do you all think about taking the text out but keeping the white circle so it ties in with the white fishing hook? Also, if you click on the bottom link you can view this design on another color.

Pretty cool shirt I guess but I also found this shirt:

The funny thing is that that shirt was submited before yours. What a coincidence. Right?

Skintribe on Apr 05 '08

Corrupt3543 - I can see where you think there are a few similarities in these two shirts but it is obviously a coincidence. Also, this one was actually submitted first (look at the date of Helmut's first comment) the critiques are posted instantly so if you are going to point fingers, you're pointing in the wrong direction.

Helmut - your whale is infinitely better than the other version, $5 from me and I like the mustard color.

Yeah, this one was submitted before mine, and I actually like it better than mine. Oh well, I guess great minds think alike.

mara_caibo on Apr 06 '08

gahrace on Apr 06 '08

funkysub on Apr 06 '08

$5 without the text. I even like the red on pink and I'm definitely not a pink person.

sittingintheshade on Apr 06 '08

clever, and well drawn, drop the white.

Zesty Nuggets on Apr 06 '08

txago_ on Apr 07 '08

beautiful colors and style!

Chloberry on Apr 07 '08

Awesome drawing! I'd like it better if it said "License to krill" on the actual shirt, and didn't circle or say "the lucky one."

cachow6 on Apr 07 '08

I personally would prefer it without the boat, but maybe I'm not getting the entire subtlety...

ET.com on Apr 08 '08

i likey in yellow

BaconJesus on Apr 08 '08

Puns! $5

Amandi on Apr 08 '08

Word yellow is better.

arcticrayven on Apr 09 '08

I think I agree with various comments.. I am not big on the boat or the lucky one text. I'd actually prefer if it said License to Krill. LOL

Yellow is ok. How about blue?

But great stuff! I like. :)

pmohundro on Apr 09 '08

you're so good.
