Black Hole Sun

Congrats AJ! Talk about a successful week! Wow. I certainly voted for your design, I’m glad it won.

I was totally blown away when I saw the original submission, but this print doesn’t look anywhere near as good. What happened to the colors on it, and why is the design so oversized? Why isn’t this even offered on a women’s shirt or in the fabric print that was promised? I’m sorry, but so not buying as I intended. Totally not what I voted for.

Excuse me, but are those guys from dbh serious? what is this? looks like a true collision – but a printing disastrous collision with reality – in all possible bad WAYS… is that “this” amazing shirt out of this world we all waited for?? you gotta be kiddin, I was making shirts like that back in primary school by randomly making knots and dipping them in fabric dye with very similar effect…I am kinda disappointed….

I’m not going to hop on this freak-out bandwagon, but seriously… that looks awful. Who in their right mind would pay $25 for that? It only looks half decent in black, and I was really looking forward to it being in white. I absolutely loved the original design, if it’d come out the way it looked there would be no argument here, i’d gladly pay $25 for that. I was really hoping that’s what would be printed, a gradient full of yellow, green, and blue. This just looks like piss and bleach.

Oh well, maybe next time.

REPRINT.

I’d be down for a reprint FOR SURE

disappointed.. this needs to be reprinted

Eh, yeah, I’m with everyone else: this needs to be more like the original design. I’d maybe accept this (on black it still looks cool), but not for $25, which comes out to nearly $30 with tax and the cheapest shipping.

Congratulations AJ! Represent! :)

Good job Aj! congratulations, mister :-D

IMAGINATION UNLIMITED

congrats pare. i was a little bit disappointed on how it turned out on the actual shirt. the colors are a little bit off. anyway, it’s not your fault. WTF DBH…

OK VERY VERY Disappointed on the final product.
The Design was not hard to make (reproduce) if you know what paint tools to use. That’s not my complaint at all- Collision does good work with color and simple designs that are bold. The original colors and shading is what sold this design more than the art itself and DBU lost his concept- I don’t know why it could not print full colors. The black one is ok but the white and grey are not even close to the intended design and are dull. At least you Got 10K theory- and a flat T shirt. Maybe they will reprint???

REPRINT!

its a pitty this won the 10 k, totally not worth it imo.

REPRINT!!!!!!!

This is not the design we voted for (obviously not your fault collision)

Congrats. I didn’t really like the original colors, and I think it looks way less kitschy now that it’s printed. But it’s true that it’s a little oversized.

DHB, good job for the final print, but i understand that people get angry, because you changed the original design, which they had voted for. This is not the artist"s artwork, now, it’s a sorta coproduction.

I will join the many in saying that I am greatly saddened by the DBH interpretation of the original artwork. The depth and layering of the bold colors in the original made me vote for it. This printing lacks the depth, the intrigue, the awesomeness. If I had known how boring this would look when redesigned by DBH I’d have never voted for it. With only two of the original 5 colors and the disturbing use of gray and white shirts, this stunning artwork lost its value and has descended into that of a simple t-shirt with a complex incomprehensible design. This Human is not happy.

REPRINT!

the smaller sun was better too, the fact that the sun is bigger just leaves this shirt with less personality, there is a HUGE void right in the middle of the shirt. previously there was more variety of colors and more of it since the sun was smaller.

I still cant believe the terrible job that DBH did on this shirt, it was a perfect design with TERRIBLE execution.

Post complaints to the contact link at bottom to DBU team— Reprint!

I agree, i want the original color too~ if this will stay like this, it wont be “sun” effect thinngy, sun should be warm colors~!! X3

The white versions offered here look like shit. It honestly looks like accidentally paint splatter on your shirt. Why would anyone buy them?

Original design even… IMO didn’t deserve 1st place.

No offense designer, but the reason it isnt original design(non-color-wise) is because your design had siginificant issues with placement and use of space. The bottom half of the shirt in the original was awkward. So to fix it they added in those blurs of yellow and red. The basic design (not colors) is better in this printed version. And I don’t really think the old colors add anything more to the shirt, the design is just uninteresting in general.

I would like to see stormink design a shirt so I could decide if it has a future in any 10,000 US $ contest either by DBH or any of the similar websites.
So how about it, stormink?

StormInk, I think you’re missing the point. Why would DBH totally jack over the original design? That’s the whole point of it. To be original. By changing so many elements it doesn’t even look like the artists work anymore. If they can pull of PPP then they can do this. It’s fine if you didn’t like the original-but it still shouldn’t go against the artwork. Doing so goes against the grain of what DBH has stood for. I personally felt the original design was enthralling and placement and flow were excellent.

I really appreciate how DBH is supporting an active artistic community, but at the same time I have to agree with others that this is wrong, and at least would appreciate an official description of why so many elements were changed. I would feel the same way if I didn’t like this design.

When will DBH learn? sigh…. Why ask peope to vote then? I’ve been saying this so many times whenever DBH printed the tees in colours not offered for voting or when brilliant work from designers like dagnis get like 100 over votes and still get binned..DBH should just get together everyday and print what they like..screw the votes..isn’t this what’s happening now?

REPRINT!

where’s the female version damnit, I really want to buy, love this shirt! also white looks like crap =/ i do agree with you guys, would have been nice printed with the actual colours of the design

Don’t buy this shirt unless it’s the original design. Sorry ColTheory!

YEAH GENERALIAN! STAND AND FALL. I AM UNITED WITH YOU!

WE SUPPORT U ColTheory! All the way.

Not too sure about the print on the girls shirt. All it seems to do is draw my attention to the model’s left boob.

the girls T looks even worse, its unfortunate that they blew this one. But we shouldnt really complain, DBH gives us a ton of incredible prints, this is the first time they’ve really messed up…

girls’ shirt looks even worse than the boys’!! It’s disappointing that DBH won’t even comment on this…. the whole train of comments under their shirt, trashing it, looks bad for them.

REPRINT!

i saw that collisiontheory’s panda shirt won over at threadless, maybe they can print designs correctly over there…

hen will DBH learn? sigh…. Why ask peope to vote then? I’ve been saying this so many times whenever DBH printed the tees in colours not offered for voting or when brilliant work from designers like dagnis get like 100 over votes and still get binned..DBH should just get together everyday and print what they like..screw the votes..isn’t this what’s happening now?

i’m fairly sure CollisionTheory hasn’t actually had any word from DBH about the money.

So DBH should really stop mucking about and pay him, regardless of what the final product looks like.

the shirt looks even worse in person. on the gray shirt the blue is much darker and you can barely even see it.

Unfortunately, the print lost its vibrancy and partially washed out after the initial cold-water wash. :(

Is this the most commented on design to date?

I think so! I have to congratulate Collision Theory on a great initial and personally voted for design but DBH has let the ball drop on this one and should acknowledge and rectify the mistake.

REPRINT!
