Ok so I am going to enter a Tee shirt design contest but before I enter I need some thoughts on my design, what should I change before I enter it? The Title for the shirt is "Wolf shirts are cool!" Which is basically a play on making those god-awful red-neck wolf shirts cool. Also: Later once I make said changes I'll make a new thread and link you to the site to vote and have you guys vote for my design >:D
Note: This is not for the Giant bomb "Never" T-shirt contest
" I dunno if the glasses are supposed to look like they don't fit in at all or not but that's how they look, take it as you will.
I think the wolf's head is too big. The dialogue bubble makes looking at the shirt kind of awkward.
"
Hmm awkward? Care to elaborate? Also I have to admit once I started making the glasses try to be realistic I kept failing miserably so I just decided to make them look as tacked on as possible.

The way I see it there are two main attention-focusing parts to the image, the blotch of white on the nose which is fine I guess because it's centered and the dialogue box, which is weird and has the person looking at it focusing randomly on the upper-right part of the dude's chest. It just seems kind of awkward to me for some reason. Although it might just be me because I pay attention to strange things.

I get what you're saying now...I can take out the white blotch no problem. As for the dialogue box it was actually the last thing I put in there because I thought it needed a splash of color. Originally the dialogue box was to be right next to the head almost touching it, but as I placed it onto the shirt I realized there wasn't enough room for it on the side if I still wanted to keep everything big.
Alrighty. I made the rims darker and got rid of the white splotch and dialogue box. I still have to correct the lenses on the glasses, but I think I might just do the glasses all over.
" @TheMustacheHero: I think what he's trying to say is that the glasses on the Wolf make the Wolf look like a Reh-Tard. Although, that could be the point. "
>:/ I think you're missing the point of his post, aside from that I take offense for calling my design retarded. If you're not going to help and actually say something that has meaning behind it I suggest you don't post at all. I'm looking for critics not douchebags.
I think either iterations of the shirt look hilarious, especially since the wolf appears to be smiling, but it seems like it might be expensive for them to print... Ryan said to keep the number of colors down and I'm seeing several shades of tans and grays...
EDIT: Sorry, didn't read the last note of your post. And personally, having a badass crescent moon seems far more "redneck radical-ish" then the blue blurb.
And to be constructive having looked at that t-shirt a few times, I feel the glasses need to be reworked, they look a little wonky. I know the perspective may affect it, but size wise they seem a little of.
@TheMustacheHero: I did, but you didn't seem to mention that the teeshirt contest was for producing a $50 teeshirt design. You should go to two or three tone, otherwise it won't win the contest, unless it's for some sort of high-end teeshirt maker or some shit....
