Submitted design #17
first entry :)
tell me what you think :)
nice use of purple.
1) the skin color cannot be just white..asian skin is darker...so make it a bit tan. although make it look ok on a yellow background
2) please put this on a yellow background so we can see how it looks.
3) the font size for "classes by chef saithong" is way too small. it needs to be only a little bit smaller then the other line.
4) that pot or whatever it is.. can you make it into a real big pot, steaming, and the lady is stirring it with a big stick? something like that?
5) remove all that steam going around the text...too messy I think...makes it hard to read the text.
thanks!
Submitted design #20
now with revisions :)
Sorry, but Chef Saithong looked at all these pictures and wants to change this whole idea a little bit. Sorry for the extra changes.
1) the lady is standing behind a table, so show the table at about her waist, and don't show anything below the table. The the pictures stops at the table. on the table are maybe bottles of fish sauce or veggetables. But the main thing on the table is a bowl. And the lady is stirring the bowl with a stick with one hand, and pouring something into the bowl with the other hand.
Here is how the bowl should look: http://importfood.com/media/ceramic/bowlside.jpg
Here is an idea how the hands should be: http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/766/162791.JPG
2) the lady should have a gold jewelry around her neck, it should be gold/yellow color so you can see it on top of the other colors.
thank you!

entry 3 with more revisions :)
looks very nice! Some problems though:
1) her hands look very scary...can you give her human hands?
2) That thing around her neck is for christians, please remove it.
3) her hair should be more like in design #21
4) to make it look more professional, can you make her clothing more blended colors, so not just pure one color, but like that word "thai" the colors change in brightness a little bit (not so strong like in "thai"
5) the word "thai" is very nice, but needs to be a little bit darker so you can see it on top of yellow background.
6) the word "SaiThong" the "T" should be lowercase, so should be "Saithong"
how did you want me to fix her necklace? did you just want me to take the whole thing out?
Submitted design #23
I really appreciate the critiques :)
keep the feedback coming
how about these colors?
For the necklace, just make a gold one around her neck, don't make it go so low on her breast... just make it around her neck...simple round necklace.
I asked Chef Saithong and she said
1) you fixed one hand, looks nice! but you need to fix the other hand...it looks like a monster :-)
2) instead of the scary hand pouring a big bottle into the soup, can you replace the big bottle with a cup?
3) Yes, the text is a good color now, but can you add one more line at the bottom "www.YummyThaiCooking.com" Make it same size as the second line, and make it a different color (purple?) then the rest of the text.
4) if its not hard, can you add a few more veggetables on the table.
5) can you make the face look like design #21 that looks more like the real chef saithong.
Submitted design #24
does the hand still look monstery? haha
Submitted design #26
here are some more revisions.
i didnt know you wanted more colors
since you said this was for a t-shirt
the colors would've been quite expensive.
Submitted design #27
heres a revision with more gold in the necklace and an addition to the spoon
also, i included a smaller version for business cards (?) at the bottom
tell me what you think
Yes, you are probably right, the t-shirt will be expensive...I need to research that. but the colors look so nice :-)
do you think i need to add anything or fix anything?
Very nice! much better. thanks. Here's some more feedback.
1) in design #25, the lady is happy, your chef looks very sad. Can you make her happy? :-)
2) sorry, I know you tried, but I still don't like the necklace/jewelry. Its good that its around her neck, the location is fine. But remove that thing that is part of the necklace... just make it a line going around her neck...no wierd shapes, ok?
3) the "www.yummythaicooking.com" needs to be much bigger. same size as the second line. and can you make it bright blue, or some color that will be strong?
4) I liked the yellow cream inside the bowl before...why did you change the color to brown? please make it yellow again.
5) sorry, but the hands in #25 are better then yours. Can you try a bit more to make real lovely hands? on a t-shirt it will be big size and people will see the details.
Otherwise looks great!
Are you using adobe Illistrator? Do you also do web page design?
Submitted design #28
heres an addition of a fish sauce bottle and more colors are editted throughout the picture
the fish sauce is fine, but you changed the small bowl's color? Can you put back the blue color on the small bowl? I think I liked that more, don't you?
Submitted design #29
heres one with extra design on the bowl
big bowl looks great! now you can work on some of my other comments above :-)
so what country are you in? I'm in California, so time to sleep. Thanks for all the work! more comments tomorrow.
oh i didnt realize the feedback form above,
yes im making additions right now
haha and yes i'm working with adobe illustrator hahah
i dont have a tablet right now so i'm doing the best i can with just a mouse
i do do web page designs :)
Submitted design #30
bowl color - blue
stuff inside the bowl - yellow
necklace - just a chain
font - enlarged and blue
face - a little happier?
i think 25's hands look a little awkard in position, it doesnt look too natural, but this is all in your request :)
i dont know how else to do the hands, can you give me some direction?
and does she look happier?
i made her eyes and eyebrows less sloping and her lips a little curved upward :)
better, still I like the face in #25 more, and the hands a little more.
But , yes, the whole left arm looks broken in #25, because I think her lady was at an angle before, and now is standing and looking forward.
I don't know how to draw so I can't help you...sorry.
for the face, can you just do exactly how #25 does? make the mouth more open. and the eyes more open. I think what #25 did, was went to our website, and looked at Saithong's picture, and draw her face from the picture.
For the hands, how about these to give you some ideas?

ok, now I really sleep. bye
maybe the problem with the hands, is they are too fat? asians have skinny fingers? Just a thought. and some detail of where the fingers bend? good luck!
Submitted design #33
revised hands and face :)
better! The hands are fine. The face is "better" :-) #32 still has a happier face, looks more like Saithong.
So can you just fix two small things
1) make the necklace a little larger, and more bright yellow, so you can see it even on small size business card.
2) the "Www.yummythaicooking.com" can you make it a regular font (not smecial asian style) so people can quickly see it and write down the website.
I think your picture is a little bit nicer then #32, except for the face.
I will send you a "private message" on this website, can you look there?
Submitted design #35
revised face,
larger and yellower neck chain
normal font for the weblink.
:) oh and to answer your question,
i'm from the U.S also, houston, but i came from california hahah
i sleep very late hahaha
Chef Saithong just had three comments
1) the necklace is correct now...but now that we look at it, its hard to see because the colors is too close to the same color around it. I don't know how to make it better...
Maybe you can make it white...with some yellow dots inside?
2) the "Www.yummy....." you need to make that bigger...same size as the second line.
3) so I think its ok, but Chef Saithong says the lady's face looks like a man? If you look at that other person's drawing, the face is a bit different shape and the hair is longer...maybe you can make it a bit like that to make it more of a women look?
we're very close to being done!
Submitted design #36

Submitted design #38
..
hands, face, hair, table, vegetables.
Lady would look nicer with thinner lines on her nose, mouth...more detail on the eyes?
Also she is bent over...maybe if she is standing straight up, she would not be like old lady? :-)
can you make the "www.yummytha......" bold?
hey what happened to #38?
it disappeared off my website?
oops iono what happened, i'll resubmit after i do the revisions
ok, I thought you got too scared of the competition :-)
