oh, forgot to mention.. the name of the design is "The Late Queen Bee of England". you can also check my anothersite submission of it (before i added halftones and such) right here.
As you please: here is a copy with written type. Thanks for the suggestion Rikkib, i think it really helped the design. I also changed the halftones of the eyes.
you know what would be really sweet? If is was one those shirt with print on the inside showing through to the the outside with the honeycombs being the inside print.
To me the bee itself needs to be filled in a little more with some color (and by color I mean even just more black). At first I had a hard time telling what it was (until I read the name of it) because there is so much line detail there. Maybe for just the head and mandibles/antennae or something, I don't know, just a suggestion.
i agree with asystole on bringing out the bee as much as you can! right now, the mirror stands out more than the bee queen herself. other than that, nice detail....i don't think i could bring myself to buy this shirt though. its too much for me :P
what do you guys think?
Asystole: thanks for the suggestion! I'll work around with the shading a little more.
In the meantime, here are some placements/other color options. Tell me what you think!
besides the yellow, i think i like the mint the best :)
