    Interesting colour scheme.

    Ah, I was trying to take the place of the stampede of "first"-ers, without actually saying it. But the colour scheme really is interesting.

    i'm not much of a dragon gal, but the colour scheme is pretty interesting.

    i was too, AlexWillms. We both kinda of failed. But it's ok. We are closer to it.

    RAWR. I AM A STAMPEDE.

    It does seem kind of lop-sided to me, though. But then again that is probably because it's poorly shopped onto that girl's shirt.

    I definitely love the color, but do all the shirts have a copyright in them?

    eludingsunsaid 180 weeks ago

    Palivizumb, being a stampede isn't good when it comes to trying to stop first-ies.

    but, i do agree, the girls shirt does look quite lop-sided, but it might just be the placement they used on the model.

    Who thinks stampedes are good?

    I like the wood-ish dragon on the side art is cooler than the one on the shirt....

    Shmaptysaid 180 weeks ago

    Soweto...great song. I'm not a dragon kind of guy, but I like the one on the right. It's simple. I like simple. I'm simple. How fun.

    oh, pretty! I love dragons, and this is really well done. I'm weighing wants vs needs...
  • image

    eludingsunsaid 180 weeks ago

    Palizizumab, i guess you're right about that too.

    and the wood one is pretty cool, but i don't think either would be a buy for me.

    Palivizumabsaid 180 weeks ago

    This one is most definitely a need, then.

    dont like the fact that there is a copyright on the shirt. im liking the color scheme but this isnt for me. thats ok though because i just bought yesterday's tee.

    necrophytesaid 180 weeks ago

    The " SHERRIE THAI" is making me hesitate.

    Not that I blame artists for wanting to protect their work from being ripped off, by all means stick your watermarks on your deviantart uploads, but, we ARE paying for this, so you are already getting credit. Note to future TeeFury tee-designers-to-be.

    And, if you have to put it on there, at least make it so that it's not an eyesore.

    I swear I'm gonna flip if this post gets deleted or modified.

    I don't see a copyright sign on the shirt.

    peppersagooddogsaid 180 weeks ago

    ok i had to stare at this a long while, and normally i make my decisions in less than 10 minutes...
    the colors on this NEARLY made me buy even though i had reservations about other stuff, but the other stuff won out im afraid.
    to ME it looks to have been "cut out" from a complete design, and not with much care. although i understand the capabilities of a reticulated reptile, it still feels bent wrong. as for the copyrighted issue, hey im the first to say tag your work... but dammit make it fit into the design.
    so, with much regret, i must pass this time :(

    Fat Possomsaid 180 weeks ago

    Okay... I'm about to say something that will probably get me banned from Tee Fury, but I think I'll say it anyway. I'm a HUGE fan of this site and this project. I love the limited addition 24 hour gig. Amazing. But... I think it's time you stepped it up a bit. A lot of the t-shirts I have seen lately look like stuff I could get at Target or Old Navy. I understand what it takes to make a great print with screens and passes and ink and what not, and some basic prints are really great. And I know you can't get a killer shirt for $9 anywhere. I have to agree though, this one looks like elements were removed to "make it work". Perhaps it's the addition of artists prints to the right that are killing it for me. Some of their stuff is super amazing and they kind of minimize the artistic-ness of the T print. Case in point with Sherrie. I would love to see that crow print on a shirt.

    As for the Copyright comments. I would agree. Make it a cool signature or something. The bold out of place lettering completely takes away from the art.

    Thanks for all you do Tee Fury. You still totally rock and hope you keep kicking ass. Just my $.02

    Arrowsaid 180 weeks ago

    GReat idea! the art conveys it well, I like the simplicity of the design. Gotta say that bird on the right is one of the coolest illos I have seen in a minute! Congrats!
  • image

    verilenssaid 180 weeks ago

    I have to agree that this shirt is very ho-hum, especially beside the artist's other highly involved artwork.
  • image

    Storminksaid 180 weeks ago

    Shirts like this make me cry. No offense Sherrie, because I really like some of the stuff in your portfolio, but its like you lost half of your design knowledge when making the shirt.

    The line work looks shabby and the colors are awkward next to each other. Not only that but its oversimplified and too cliche.

    Like Fat Possom this is just my 2 cents but TeeFury really needs to step up their game when selecting work, IMO.


    Oh and don't even get me started on the copyright.
  • image

    Fluzzysaid 180 weeks ago

    I love the rest of your work, But I don't like this shirt. It's too generic. I might have liked it if it wasn't in an "o" but I guess being in an "o" was part of the whole plan. The copyright is really tacky too. But at least you put it on a cool color of shirt. I love dragons but not this shirt. Try the crow or skull next time! Those are killer!

    HairyLumpsaid 180 weeks ago

    I must agree with the Possum. Target all the way.

    wottosaid 180 weeks ago

    Thanks for all the comments. I'll work hard to convince Sherrie that it's worth submitting here ever again.
  • image

    Frostlinesaid 180 weeks ago

    I agree with the aforementioned complaints.

    No more "eyesore" copyrights.
    No more generic shirt designs.

    It's a bit counterproductive to display such a secondhand design alongside some of the artist's more respectable work. The shirt looks almost terrible at first glance by comparison. The discovery of the boldly stated copyright after a closer look only further degrades the value of this shirt to a possible customer.

    Don't set yourself up for failure like this, TeeFury.
    Don't scare us like this again. Please.

    MJsaid 180 weeks ago

    Hey guys, can you try to keep your criticisms a bit more constructive? (ie, "This is well-made, but I prefer the style of the work in the sidebar" instead of "This isn't as good as the sidebar and it looks like Target") While we love to hear your opinions, part of what I've always enjoyed about TeeFury is how welcoming and supportive a community it can be :)

    Plus, if we get a rep for being too tough on artists, it will be harder to get awesome people like Sherrie to give us a try!
  • image

    Crushemsaid 180 weeks ago

    Oriental dragons will always be cool & this one is killa.
    I love the curves in the background, they really give this peice movement.
    Also the colours are bang on & are freakin sweet on a navy tee.
    All in all this design is dope & I hope like hell Sherrie sends more art work Tee Fury's way.
    One more thing, the art work to the right is amazing!
    Great work Sherrie :)

    Love the colors. Love the design. Really love Asian dragons. The copyright killed it for me. Artists should definitely protect their work, but that could've come off for the print. No thanks.
  • image

    digitalnicotinesaid 180 weeks ago

    Wow, some of the comments are harsh! Many of these complaints could easily have been sent to Wotto directly, and privately, rather than causing a single artist to bear the weight of supposed disappointments "lately". Perhaps such comments fall in line with comments like first!, in their look at me! look at me! effect.

    I hope Sherrie continues to submit here. I love the dragons expression. The raven is amazing! Want!

    You know, the word Dinosaur wasn't invented until the 1850s. What do you think they would have called them before that?
    Great stuff.
  • image

    Renaesaid 180 weeks ago

    I really really like the colors and the flame in the background, but dragons are not my style at all. Especially since the dragon seems a little too circle looking. I love the dragon on the left, though, but I gotta say I need to pass this one.
    What Targets do you guys go to because I'm sure as hell I couldn't find something like this..
    and I just noticed the copyright(after reading some comments). It doesn't stick out or anything, only if you notice it at first. I'm sure on the T-Shirt no one will even see it so don't make such a big deal out of it. :/
  • image

    moetineeshasaid 180 weeks ago

    i'm not liking it, it seems to plain and unfinished. also, maybe it's just me but i keep trying to follow the body of the dragon and i can't make it meet up...not a fan of this or anything recently

    all in all i am definitely liking the image here but dragons have never been my thing. i just spent some time looking through your portfolio and there is some amazing work. i definitely think you should continue submitting here and i am looking forward to seeing more of your work on a t-shirt.

  • image

    spastasticnomadicsaid 180 weeks ago

    At first I thought this was a new colour offering, as it looks nothing like the Navy-coloured tees I've purchased in the past. The mockup looks a lot lighter than the actual navy. Or maybe my monitor is off. Or maybe my eyes are still crusty and sleep-deprived and blinded by the sunrise. I'd best go with 'C'.

    Congrats on the print.
  • image

    bigbellysaid 180 weeks ago

    congrats on the print. that raven design is serious good. and please try and leave the copyright out next time. it distracts from the art and depreciates the shirt a little.

    WonderBunnysaid 180 weeks ago

    I love the raven on the side and would have gotten that in a heartbeat for my brother for the holidays. I would have seriously considered the death thing with the wings too.

    As to this design, the dragon doesn't flow on this one to me. Where does the part near the mouth go? It looks like it ends and then reappears higher on the design. Also, the type face for the copyright really bugs me. I think it takes away from the art instead of adding to it. Also, I'm sure I would buy a t-shirt where the designers copyright mark was so obvious, I think it would go over better if it was blended into the design.

    One last thing, is the design really that low on the women's shirt? That would put it right over my stomach and...um...yeah, no.

    WonderBunnysaid 180 weeks ago

    Also, I love Teefury and I have learned that if you don't like what you've seen for a few days, wait a few more and something awesome will come up! :)

    dang... need an edit option here. I would not buy a shirt with a copyright so obvious in a design.

  • image

    cardinalgoldsteinsaid 180 weeks ago

    Yes, I also would appreciate it if the artists would keep the copyright symbols off of their designs.

    With that being said, um...I guess don't really care for this design very much, either.

    autumnsaid 180 weeks ago

    I think I prefer the second side-art one. Beautiful design, but I have to cut back on my t-shirt spending.
  • image

    Fat Possomsaid 180 weeks ago

    Just to be clear. I thought I was stating that the artists work is usually frickin' awesome on the sidebar. Tee Fury does a great job of finding awesome artists. I was just noticing that the design chosen to be on the T is usually much simpler.

    Didn't think to comment to Wotto directly. Good point by whoever said that.

    I heart Tee Fury.

    teezee93said 180 weeks ago

    I mean, it's not a bad design. I just feel like I could find something exacly like it at a JcPennys. It's not for me, sorry!
  • image

    sblakesaid 180 weeks ago

    I dig the colour combo.. but placement seems a bit low. Should be 4" from collar that is industry standard for centre chest.

    The art is cool but it's missing something... like the dragon body doesn't make sense to me.. where it goes and ends up.

    I concur with whom ever posted above.. the art/shirt need to step up.

    If you guys are printing these before they go up like you claim. Then why not post images of the actual printed shirt.. instead of these cheesy mock ups?

    I wonder how accurate your mock ups are compared to the actual product.. like ink colours, placement, art size, etc...

    Cheers..

    MJsaid 180 weeks ago

    Sblake: These mocks should be pretty accurate, as this is the same mock that the printers see.

    I don't believe that shirts are being printed ahead of time, either, so posting images of an actual printed shirt is probably a bit impossible for the time being.

    Andy47240said 180 weeks ago

    I think the design is not bad. I would wear it with no shame. Some of your illustrations on your site are top notch. Some of the best I have seen.
  • image

    Aurorisaid 180 weeks ago

    I absolutely love the raven on the side, but I'm not a fan of oriental dragons at all. It's a nice illustration, but I come to TeeFury for rediculous shirts and art I couldn't get anywhere else.
  • image

    kizatsaid 180 weeks ago

    something off about the dragon's tail that is throwing the whole shirt off for me. I didn't noticed the copywrite until it was pointed out... I was too busy trying to figure out where the tail is coming from...

    I love the color combination on this, but the tail is making it hard for me to look at... I'm totally fixated on it.

    As for the sidebar... I'm with everyone else on the raven being totally bad-ass. Sherri, your work is exceptional... please redo the raven so it can be printed on a shirt... I'd buy that without even thinking about it!

    (after looking at it again, it totally reminds me of jimiyo's raven shirt that was printed here a long time ago that I"m actually wearing today... I'd still buy another raven shirt. Can't have too many bird shirts nowadays.)

    spamuellasaid 180 weeks ago

    I can't say i'm too impressed.
  • image

    nobahdisaid 180 weeks ago

    A lot of the complaints here are because it's pretty obvious Sherrie is much more talented than this particular design demonstrates. This shirt is good but the sidebar stuff is great.

    Also, some people can't see the shape of the dragon's body, which is because this design is overly simplistic. If there was one more color to show shadows on the dragon it would be clear the dragon is not in an "O" shape, but "spiral-ish".

  • image

    Kimoppisaid 180 weeks ago

    I love the colours. The design isn't overworked, which can sometimes be the case with dragons. I just don't like the body shape of the dragon. It took too long for me to see the continuity of its body. I can't get past the initial reaction that the body was wrong.

    As for the copyright... it's a T-shirt, not an oil painting. Get over it. Even oil paintings have signatures. Give the artists their due.

    Hello,

    Thank you all for taking the time to discuss, debate, criticize, and/or support my Flash-based site and designs. It's been really interesting to see the conversation progress throughout the day. I understand some of your concerns with the copyright; I have been ripped off before, but your comments are duly noted. In regards to the difference of illustration style, I've always loved exploring and experimenting with different artistic styles and understand that certain content and styles are not for everyone.

    With that said, thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of your day.

    All the best,
    Sherrie

    Also, thanks for the nod about my work. I'll be posting some new designs here soon.
