I wanted to take the design away from all the football designs I knew were coming and as well, away from "an eye on a ball" or vice versa. I figured there would be a lot of those. We all need to be reminded that the earth isn't gonna be here forever. But why not in a humorous way? In the "eye" of the universe, our extinction isn't much more than a game of pool.



This was originally declined due to its size on the t-shirt. That issue has been taken care of and there shouldn't any problems this time.

I am going to buy this t-shirt for sure

Great concept and a really spiffy looking shirt! I'd buy it in an heartbeat.

Keep up the good work!

Very impressive : ) Love it!

I've noticed that you either have a lot of cool friends that all joined on October 12th to score your designs especially on your other or something is a little odd

poor man, his brain didn't seperate at birth. alobar holoprosencephaly resulting in cyclopia!



(seriously though, this is a breath of fresh air from the football crap. but Hi my name is brings up a good point...)

I like this very much. I would totally buy it.

@Hi my name is,



If I'm not mistaken you receive an e-mail that encourages you to advertise your submission on your blog, and whatnot, resulting hopefully in new members to the community. Not sure what's odd, or for that matter bad, about that.



Awesome t-shirt, nonetheless.

This reminds me of the Red Dwarf episode where Lister plays a game of galactic snooker. Hehehe.

"Hi my name is" : Hey there, I'm not sure what you're implying? But yeah, I did indeed encourage people to look at my design. And probably, a fair number of those people didn't have a pre-existing account on threadless. I've got a link up on myspace and facebook. http://www.myspace.com/oskadrengurinn



I really can't see what's off here...?



This is a quote from the e-mail they send, once you submit your design:



We will send you an email once we've accepted your submission and then you can start promoting the heck out of it! We'll give you some custom banners to use on your own site and send to your friends via email. Stay tuned!



I think you're pretty quick to jump to conclusions but ahm, I think we're all concerned about fair play so I guess user awareness is a good thing.

I really have seen this before somewhere...

i'm sick of people judging people here about stealing designs and blah. basically finding fault on one another.



hasn't anybody realized that given "kenchikugishi" had encouraged his friends to vote or join just to score 5 on his designs (which is OK bec he can, and he should) that there is still a whole 2,ooo people out here who's gonna vote for this? everybody has to chill alright...



and to you mr. "kenchikugishi". don't mind these bunch of *toots* who keep sayin they've seen it somewhere or throw u whatnots bec after u've come around here and u finally had ur first WIN, they'll basically KISS ur ass and will eventually say great things about you on ur next sub *like how i see things go around here*... and usually, try and notice that those who give pointless and bad judgments here that make you feel bad are the ones who are not as good if you look at their designs. i wish they can at least have a better sub from urs if u look at theirs...hmmm



let's give these new guys a break for christ's sakes!



it's a good design btw! u get a 3! keep it up!

Zephyris hav1969: Well, this is my design, not someone else's... And you know, I'd appreciate it if you gave a bit more constructive comments. If you think you've seen this before then why not at least look into it before blurring things out? :/ I've seen a lot of people on here saying this or that looks like something or that they've seen something remotely similar to what they're looking at.. It's sort of confusing to me how this is gonna be helpful. I mean, if it's an obvious copy of something you've seen, then by all means, post what you've seen and play cop. But please don't just go pointing your finger and start accusing me of something wrong. I've never purposely copied someone else's idea in my entire life and I find it ridiculously offensive when someone accuses me of doing so.



KILLZ: I gotta say I know what you're talking about although I'm still a rookie here. Looking at comments on various designs it appears there are a lot of folks just looking to cause damage to one's reputation. First when I logged into threadless I actually thought from reading comments that many designers were stealing. It takes a few days to see the whole picture and realize these comments are not to be taken too seriously.

i was gonna say this reminded me of a red dwarf episode, but nevvie beat me to it.



i'm not into the colors, but i really like the idea and the execution is nice and clean, good luck with it.

thanks ;) but honestly, never even heard of that show

a little more work on the face, to much attention was paid to the balls... but, overall-great idea!

love it but i need more color!

cool stuff! ..i like simple + clean design! 5! :)

BTW, i don't care much what people talked/will talk about this sub! i just came here to say i like it or not!

come on guys.. free our mind.. let’s not stop people's creativity! ...we are here to vote and comment to get a better designs and with all consensus on should be the printed design! :D

It's the first time I noticed something like that. I didn't say you made up fake accounts to score your stuff all I said was: I've noticed that you either have a lot of cool friends that all joined on October 12th to score your designs especially on your other or something is a little odd. What I was implying is that it was odd. And in your response you obviously have a lot of cool friends that did that for you which means you bribed them (just kidding). Also let me not be confused with someone that thinks you stole the idea because if I did I would put a link to the other design. Just so you know I personally think this idea is pretty good the execution could have been a little better. Also I gave you a 3

Hi my name is: Fair enough, thanks and yeah, I have very cool friends that don't need bribery ;)



Oh and thank you all for the comments so far.. I truly appreciate it. The more, the merrier! =)

one of the better ideas in the luvs comp.

i think it's really cool. I'm just concerned about how light it appears on the shirt... nice art!

Thanks. I just think it works better when the colors are light like that. It feels more clean. I'm not too big on dark colors.

i like this one! ... *and not because u mentioned on ur comment on my sub that u like my designs* no ass-kissin here :D



serously dude it's like this in here. u'll get the idea when u look at my sub's comments. haha! u better be thick-skinned a little bit as long as u know it's an original idea. keep up the good work!

the elbow looks weird, but that could just be 'cause he's an alien and has weird arms. but I like the concept!

it's quite an education to wade through the comments here.



I like this a lot; I *know* that my son (7 and into science) would love it. I don't care for the light colors but anything darker would overwhelm the design.

put saturn on the sleeve

The only thing this reminds me of is a lyric from Pharaoh Monch on De La Soul's first AOI album, "I play pool with the planets", which i always thought was an incredible lyric. But i hardly say that qualifies as stealing! lol. I like this concept a lot, i just wish there was some color and the entire galaxy imitated or exxagerated with all the other balls on the table, or all of them were getting sucked into the pockets which could be represented with black holes. But overall nice work.



and screw the haters who said you ripped something off unless they provide proof.

Yeah very good, but the colors are a little bit... sad.

hahahahahahaha 4

@roadkill3d: Thanks man ^_^ You too!



@andreac: Actually I played around with his joints a little for that exact reason ^_^



@fanatixx: I'm afraid that putting saturn on the sleeve would really kill the structure of the design ^_^'



@FRICKINAWESOME: Never heard that song but I do like a few songs by De La Soul ^^ There was the idea of making the holes of the table as blackholes but in the end I didn't think it was necessary and I actually thought it made more sense to just make the sun be the destroyer of our solar system. It's going to devour us eventually (o__o)



Thank you for your comments



Is it ok for me to resubmit this for the never ending competition? I might give in and color it differently for all you light colors hating people :P Please rate it foremost on the design. It's so easy to change the colors. Thanks ^_^

Wow this is cool.

neato. Not on white please though. Either that or color him in.

Yeah, resub this one dude. I love the idea, just needs some touching up and a few additions, and maybe on a green tee? And make the sun fierier!

I like :) I would like it more on darker colours though - anything but white! - and great spin on the Comebacks theme. :)

neat idea...

Sodacap_bum, mikey25, C.A.Philips, : thanks! :)





wildmustard, kako64, dragoness, FRICKINAWESOME, phyntosia: Point taken, will redo it. Thank you! ^_^

On gray and id get it

It's nothing wrong with inviting friend to vote your submission. geez Hi My Name Is



goodluck man ;)

I thought thats how people got so many votes. They ask friends to vote. Theadless wants customers thats why they tell you to get your friend to look at the site. That asde...



Nice work. I really like this. 4

Cool. Instantly made me think of Red Dwarf. Can't believe you've never seen it ! Don't know what yer missing! Search you tube for Red Dwarf and pool and you'll probably find it. 3

Aw1011: That's one option, but I'll probably resubmit it in midnight blue and color the guy and the planets in different colors.



DrawingEvils: Thanks



kalien: Thanks



Spam69: Couldn't find it...

Hey good job man, $5!



(only felt normal to leave a comment for myself)

I'd definitely buy it if the design was darker, AND on a darker T. Other than that, fantastic concept and design!

thanks for showing support on my designs. hope this does good as well! :)

great idea n concept, would b great if its not human form.. nice anyway!

Pookiepookstar, roadkill3d, zeromerch: Thanks ! :)



Last day now :P So if you have anything to say, don't hesitate to say it!

its pretty creative, i love the smirk on the aliens face!

@thebrandnewyear: I'm glad you noticed that :D I was going for the easy-going calm alien who doesn't think twice when he's about to destroy a solar system ;)

Definitely something I'd buy...but the cue looks like it's kind of going through his thumbv.

slaiv: Thanks but ahm.. the upper part is part of the index finger's bone structure.. not the thumb :)

This is terrbible and the funny thing is. Your serious about it.

Keep those comments coming you sad little thing.. Doesn't matter what you say.. I just link your designs and the argument is over before it beings ;)

I have a design I'm working on that preferably goes from one sleeve to the other. The reason I'm asking is because it's for the ferraby competition and if it's declined I might miss out on resubmitting it.



Thanks!

Submit it with a normal size placement, and provide a link to an alternative.

wraparounds are okay. if you look through you'll see they've been printed.

kenchikugishi on Oct 21 '07 at 12:19pm

jenraskopf: Yeah I know... but over the seams? To the sleeves? On both sides?



Krakaboom: It just changes the design so much.. I kind of need to know beforehand

kenchikugishi

kenchikugishi on Oct 21 '07 at 2:44pm

anyone?

iDanSimpson

iDanSimpson on Oct 21 '07 at 2:49pm

with the shirts on which they are currently printing for the regular ongoing contest (not the selects) there are no side seams (at least for the guys shirts, i dunno about the gals)

loserbeech

loserbeech on Oct 21 '07 at 2:50pm

I think that's too big. They do have a size limit. Is it mentioned in the guidelines somewhere?

shakethesheets

shakethesheets on Oct 21 '07 at 2:50pm

no side seams on girly shirts

kenchikugishi

kenchikugishi on Oct 21 '07 at 3:10pm

iDanSimpson: So there are side seams in the love competitions? Like the ferraby one?



loserbeech: Yeah, you're right.. 13x16 inches I'm afraid...



Maybe I'll just make a flash file this time and put both in... Think that's the way to go.

MrDomino

MrDomino on Oct 21 '07 at 3:44pm

Most tees don't have seams on the side body of the shirt. There are seams across the top of the shoulder from the neck hole to the sleeve and around the sleeve where it attaches to the body of the shirt.



You can't do a print from shoulder to shoulder because that distance varies wildy from a men's XL to a women's XS. The difference is probably more than six inches. The print shop will only make one set of screens because that is the most costly part of the printing process, and I doubt that Threadless would pay for extra sets of screens to match the shirt sizes. Again, were Threadless to make and print their own tees that may be a different story, but it's not feasible with the price point they've established on this site.



They may use separate screen sets for the Selects, which is another reason why they cost more.

kenchikugishi

kenchikugishi on Oct 21 '07 at 4:02pm

Ok thanks for the answer but just to explain exactly what I need... (and now that I think about it, it would be enough if it crossed over to only one sleeve)... Here is a picture that represents the location of the graphic (roughly)....







Just to be absolutely clear on this, this would not work out position wise? (And again, I'm thinking for the ferraby competition)

MrDomino

MrDomino on Oct 21 '07 at 4:06pm

Not here. That's across a seam and too large. There are special machines you can use the do that kind of print, but the process costs more. I think Threadless will eventually allow that kind of thing, but as it stands that's not an option.

kenchikugishi

kenchikugishi on Oct 21 '07 at 4:07pm

Ok thanks a lot MrDomino, you saved me a lot of work ;)

you are new here,too,i think........maybe it´s better to spend some days with looking through the submissions and critiques before starting to upload smth,if this is not a fake account and you are serious...it´s just that i know that this is just a photograph,used at least one filter option in photoshop to make it look like that....i think you will not get many "sub it"s or helpful suggestions ......



and besides of that i just don´t like coldplay...sorry,man

Dear DJ Jean Luc,



i was being sarcastic. Pls don't submit this tee because just being honest, u might regret it. i know you like Coldplay, but this isn't a community who'd buy tshirts with Chris Martin's face on it trust me. it's a cheesy pun with a filtered image. but to free u with ur doubts, u can give it a shot dude. imagine that these comments from this Critique section is not even half as the voice of the thousands of voters here who don't mind looking at Critiques. and thank you for calling me HOT. :-)



with all love,
