The design is suspiciously reminiscent of Megan Lara's Art Nouveau stuff (especially the Firefly designs that got a lot of press six months ago). But not as well done.dprez wrote:The background design is pretty damn awesome. Aside from the cheesy dub line and Goku's cartoony look, it's a pretty cool shirt.
(poor whitespace balancing, dismal colour choice)

What's so off-model about it?

There's no excuse for the character design to be so off, there are lots of pictures of Goku - study them. Hell, trace it, at least it'll be on-model.
The face is pretty off-model IMO.Kuwabara wrote:What's so off-model about it?

There are a lot of aspects that are close, but incorrect - the folding (or lack thereof) of the clothes especially the pants, the belt is too long, the hair has a couple of issues (Goku's crown is too large and the back spike sizing looks bad, plus the lack of motion in the hair makes the composition static and dull), and the boots are just terrible. The pose is based on official art (closest to this, but this is more popular) but it's not quite as good, and frankly the original pose isn't great either.Kuwabara wrote:What's so off-model about it?

There's a big difference between doing something in your own style and doing someone else's style badly. This shirt is the later; there's no question.Ashura wrote:To be fair, it's in this person's style; it's not meant to be completely on-model. It's sort of like, how they had other artists draw Dragon Ball stuff for the Kanzenbans... why would you want them just to copy Toriyama? I'd rather see Oda draw Dragonball in Odastyle.

Only as a joke to some personal friends or something, but never to work or school or anything like that. 
I'd have had to buy two cuz the first one would eventually wear out.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.
You only have 24 hours to buy a shirt and once it's gone, it's gone.hunterxhunter21 wrote:Anyone know where I can buy this shirt now? Since they no longer offer it on the linked site?

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
