Spearfishing designs

[Mr. X]

I'll have number 3 with a bass on it.

I too like number 3 best. Unusual & clever design. I particularly like the way the diver is drawn. I would be tempted to make the diver a little more prominent (maybe larger and closer to the middle?) and the fish perhaps a little less prominent (e.g. a tad smaller?). But maybe that wouldn't work as well overall?

I also like the "giant's cocktail" image a lot - that's very much how I feel/see myself in the water while spearing - and the sunshine often does stream through like that. I guess the border is a little confusing but it is quite attractive. I like the water surface detail.

Not so keen on the multi-coloured one - you have to get quite close to appreciate it (& read it) and discover that is about spearfishing. The setting sun motif might appeal to the Japanese forum members - as it could equally be a rising sun I suppose - in which case maybe you could use some Japanese text, e.g. 日本 やり釣

Thanks for the feedback. It's nice to know that people notice that I based these designs on personal experiences and feelings. Especially the last one.. that sunset takes me back to my trip to Hawaii everytime I look at it

I got the question of making the diver more prominent already and the picture below shows the result. If I make the diver any more bigger the whole perspective would be lost. But indeed I'm selling much more of the tuna shirts since I changed it.

I like the idea of the Japanese text but there is an obvious language problem Why is it of any importance for a Japanese whether it's a sunset or sunrise and what is the meaning of that text you wrote?
