Description So here’s something fun I got to work on a few weeks back. A t-shirt design featuring all modern species of porpoise - only the two species of finless porpoise were bundled into one, and represented here by the narrow-ridged finless porpoise. Commissioned by the Porpoise Conservation Society  of course, because who else could this be for Lots of fun to do, and a nice “warm-up” for my current commission, also for the PCS: a rather more detailed look at one of these species!

I'd think it's pretty cool too! Unfortunately no-go, the shirts will be for internal use only

Porpnado? I can see how that could go wrong but it's also hilariously *wrong*.


Nice design though - and I do love a rebel too

Haha I fear little good will come of it. Besides sounding a little too much like 'porno' for my taste, I can also feel a bad series of movies coming lol. Thank you! I'm very pleased with the result on this one too.

Movies about just the biggest-hearted but most ultimately useless super-hero? How bad can that be?

hahaha that's a better alternative I suppose! I was thinking of the horrible 'sharknado' franchise, which has proven to be, in fact, very bad

Bad but successful. If that isn't a motto for the 21st century I don't know what is...

oh boy! now i can wear a shirt and publicly display what a hopeless nerd i am for Porpoises, the Best Bois

hahaha. that sounds like a cetacean boy band, the Best Bois. Unfortunately no porpoise preference flaunting, shirts won't be for sale since the PCS is a non profit (and some other stuff) they'll be for internal use only from what i heard

I so wanna have it as a t-shirt too Can't you make a similar one and sell it in an online-shop?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

namu-the-orca In reply to Lunchi [2019-04-01 17:13:09 +0000 UTC]

Making a similar design and then selling that feels rather unfair, like I'm cheating them out of their money. Also, online shirt selling is a hassle I don't really want to get into right now (especially not for the 2 or 3 that are going to sell probably ) We'll just have to eye the PCS people with porpoise envy!

unfortunately not really possible... at least not on a regular basis. i had a talk about it with the pcs people and apparently their shirt-making company is based in the US while they're a CA organisation. so the price would have to go up and down according to the currency exchange rate to keep a stable profit... administration nightmare.
