My thoughts on this were that, as mentioned earlier, she's just kind of there. She's not interacting with the rest of the design. She could be rolling the osu! logo, or peeping out from behind it, or leaning on it, or something, and the pose itself isn't quite dynamic enough for a shirt imo

I think I'll forever hate pippi cuz hair. oh well.

well this t-shirt should appeal to as many people as possible right? kids too yknow.

something I'm really against is geeking out too much about the game or having people on t-shirts. text/logos always work the best, no matter what.

Actually I will agree with that

it shouldn't be designed in such a way that you have to know what it is to appreciate it - I agree with that notion. I think that's the point of good design, anyway.

Her hair makes no sense - I don't particularly enjoy drawing that bit of it, and I've tried my hand at making it work more naturally while keeping it recognizable as "Pippi's". Generally speaking, I don't like hairstyles that require large amounts of styling to make it work in real life.


As can be evidenced by pretty much all of my posts in "Post your Desktop" thread, I like minimalism.

Thus:


I do think it's important to give a face to the game, though, and having an established mascot character like pippi is natural to put on a shirt. Thinking about an idolm@ster parody shirt as well.


EDIT:
I was also grappling with the idea of a "signature" item for Pippi to use as a focal point in the design, similar to the character symbols from HidaSketch. These simple symbols can be used to put together a design that's aesthetically pleasing to someone who doesn't know the series, but gives a bit of "extra" to those who do.

Also, darkened the pink.

I like that design, but I think the "click" should be more vibrant pink (looks pink to me anyways) ^^

I agree with this. Right now, it appears to be a slightly pinkish sort of salmon color. Needs more pink for the REAL men. lol

On a side note, I have another design idea in mind. It's a lot more complex so I hope I can pull it off. D:

Real men wear pink.

Hmm I didnt find her hair all that bad. Her hair makes perfect sense cause its overly simplistic which leaves room for expansion, I dont know why you would try to make natural sense of something that was overly exaggerated in the first place. I just look at it like a penis head cause all you need is the dividing line and length then its skys the limit XD

The fact that you had to compare to a penis for this, imo proves our point lol.

Well its the practical shape of it all, what you do with it is up to you.

I think, it's better if there is a player's name on the back of the T-Shirt.. but if it isn't allowed just ignore it

holy shit. this was incredible. and not just because YodaSnipe is in there <3.

Are those tiny names printable on a t-shirt o.o? and wtf where is Cookiezi o:
