Keep Calm and Ahhh Phooey!!

Donald Duck doesn't need to "keep calm", he's already got the sweetest disposition!
With this submission, I wanted to do something that felt modern but stayed true to the character and my love of Disney. Hopefully I succeeded.
Keep Calm and Ahhh Phooey!!

I wanted to make something similar to this, but you already did a fantastic job, this is my favorite out of the bunch! I'll still give this contest a shot but I'll try to thing of something different :) I would totally buy this if it wins!

Love your transformation of the crown to Donald hat. :-)

Thank you. It was a last minute touch that I feel brings it all together. :-)

To criticize this a little, the only thing I'd tweak are the ink lines in a few spots, mostly the thick black line under the eye, which looks a bit too thick compared to the rest. Call me nitpicky but I always pay very close attention to inks, since I like to hand-ink everything myself. Maybe changing the color of the background (the white part) would make Donald stand out a little more (making him more regocnisable from a long distance), though I like the white too.
Those are the only two things I can think of, and they're easy to tweak. I really hope this shirt gets printed because I'd definitely buy it! 5/5!

Thanks everyone for your votes! It is definitely an honor to have ended up this high on a contest with so many great entries. I look forward to seeing the final selections, and hope to see another awesome Disney contest soon. :-)
