Looking for suggestions to make this illustration stronger. Right now I feel as if my rabbit is really stiff looking. I think if I bent the ears back a bit it would help. Also I need to add more details to the coyote, but I want to get the gestures/movement correct before I go further. Any comments would be much appreciated.

So I have been wanting to rally up a bunch of contemporary artist that will be featured on my current blog (soon to be website). The group is called Wild West Collective.

Wild West Collective is a constantly growing group of artists. We are here to create, inspire, expose and support the arts. The only requirement to become a member of W.W.C is that you have some form of website where your work can be seen or heard. If you would like to join the W.W.C. please contact me Tony Elmore by email at wildwestcollective@yahoo.com or post a comment here.

Thanks,

Tony

This piece of artwork is inspired by the changing of seasons. This shirt changes solstices from a white wintery scene, to a vibrant blossoming summer utilizing Ultra Violet inks.

I came up with the idea when I realized that the UV inks respond to the same thing plants and flowers do, sunlight! So I started this whole idea with a single large tree that blossomed, but I kept getting feedback in the critique section saying it looked way to similar to Dan Rules "Tree" design. I kept playing with the idea of plants blossoming and finally it clicked in my mind, that during the solstice areas of the World go from a white winter to a colorful blossoming summer. I figured since my last printed design Homage To The Hunter was a wintery scene, I would continue a similar style. After about a couple of weeks of hashing things out, this is what manifested.

I hope you enjoy it, and thanks to everyone who participated in making this idea come alive!!! :)

The idea of this shirt came to me on a cold cloudy day, while I was contemplating life over a cup of tea. I began thinking about how hard it would be to survive winter without modern conveniences. That's when I though of the idea of a hunter trying to risk his life for his family and people to survive. I thought that by breaking the shirt into three segments it would tell a story as you wrap around the shirt.

I would like to say thanks to all who have come before us, and thanks to my family, friends, voters and last bust not least Threadless!

If you have a design in the critique section or in the running and would like me or someone else to comment on it, leave me a link to your design and I will get back to you when I can. If I don't comment within a couple days I'm sorry, but I probably have no suggestions.

*Don't be afraid to help others too!

Have you ever wanted to travel somewhere, but couldn’t because of a language barrier? Well now you can with the first ever International Translation shirt! All you do is simply point to what you need, and PRESTO you’re on your way! Example you need to go to the restroom really bad, but you don’t know the word for restroom, so you just point to the toilet on your shirt and someone will direct you! Other uses could be for when your sick and can't talk, you could give the silent treatment to someone your upset with, or you could just have fun and see if you can get what you need without saying a word. It's not just aesthetic, but it's functional and playful. Thanks for all your votes!
