Harden

Well, another motivational shirt or poster, how lovely! Let's see what we've got!

Vision
So, I see what you were going for. If things are tough in life, you have to "harden" up, and pull trough the attacks, and eventually, things will get better and you will have a new life. I like that message, and it earned you 4.5 stars!
4.5 stars

originality
Well, I'm not quite sure whether I should judge this on a scale like if someone did it before, or on the scale that you did a similar thing before. I'm not saying thise things are true, I'm just "scaling the scales!" So, the reason this image sticks out to me is because a lot of the same use art like Ken Sumigori's or even their own, but this image simplifies all that by putting sprites and making the greater focus go to the text.
4 stars

Technique
I mean yea, it's a nice piece, but in the message. Technically, it's a plain background, 4 sprites and 8 bit text. It does all blend together perfectly, and the message does drive the attention from the technique and onto itself, but technique-wise, it's not all that impressive.
3.5 stars

Impact
I have said it a million times before, thiis image carries a beautiful image, that of which motivates someone wh's having it tough to step up, be strong and pull trough it all. This made a big impact on me, since I used to have some tough situation myelf, and I didn't know what to do. Now that I've seen this, it makes me very happy.
5 stars

FINAL THOUGHT
This picture has it's pros and cons. I think it could use a bit more work, but the pros definitively overcome the cons. You made a brilliant message for everyone to see, and the bast part about it is that it's in a form everyone gets it. It carries a deeper meaning then just text and sprites, gamers see familiar faces, others see a good message. Everything left to say is... Good job. Keep it up.
