About my design

by megjen
I've always kind of thought that paisley looked a little bit like psychedelic flames. This was the output of my doodling in class of today. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I finished it up a little bit for yous on here.



:)



Also looks nice on all the neutral colors. (white, grey, chocolate, et cetera)

this is pretty bitchin, although i'd prefer softer colors on the dragon - mint green and pale yellow would be nice!

I love it. I'd like the dragon to be in the same sort of style though. I'd still buy it.

What an awesome idea!! I love the artwork minus the white outline on the dragon. Maybe a change in the design aspect of the shirt itself would help a bit. Think rule of thirds. Perhaps if you had the dragon in a corner on the right of the shirt breathing upwards/downwards to the opposing corner... ::shrugs::

Thanks for the comments everyone.



I took off the outline and fooled around with some softer colors, as per your suggestions. Feel free to take a look:

It's a nice illustration that suffers from a poor color scheme. Hopefully threadless can fix it !

am I the only one getting serious Pokemon vibes from this??



Maybe I just don't understand the reference.



Anyway, it's a good illustration, just not one I'd buy. So you get a 5. :)

blacktiger, I drew this completely out of my head. I don't know what you may have seen similar to this, because it's my own imagination.



And sorry, I guess the colors do make it look like pokemon. :\



Thanks for all the positive comments though! :)
