allright,
since there's a prior topsheet contest, and they said its ok if I ask for a feedback from ANY sources, here's another design i made. its not finished yet, especially the bottom, but here's what i got...
i also talked to the guy from prior and asked him to tell me if anyone would submit design that looks like this... so dont even bother stealing

The waterfall is a cool idea, but it takes up too much of the ski. There is too much white. Maybe make the waterfall on just the left ski and design something else for the right one, like work on the rocks and stuff maybe?

Also, I don't really like the little guy doing a grind on the rail at top. It doesn't really fit with the ski theme.

have a smaller him ripping a big mountain line or somehting, hes out of place at the top there, he disrupts how the lines flow down with the waterfall

I don't think that it is neccessary to have a picture of a skier on a pair of skis.

and that the skier takes away from it for sure.

no dude, without him, you've got it all dialed it. Skiing is all about adapting to adjacent landscapes and such, whether they be big mountains or urban rails. Just having those alone is excellent.

i think you should lower the whole scene a bit so that the blue sky is bigger and the flashing white water doesnt take too much of the ski

the waterfall seems too real life looking and the top looks too cartoony. but i think im the only one this bothers, so dont worry about it too much i guess.

I really like it, I think you should replace the girl at the bottom with something maybe some rockes and the base of the waterfall? I do like the little skier doing the jib

the last one you got it perfect the water fall is the right size and the girl on the bottom brings is all together but mabey put a rock or 2 jutting out from the water fall that might look good to

so what happens to the graphic when you want to evenly wear edges and the graphic is all messed up.. im a fan of this graphic but not spread over two skis..

and the skier should go.. its like puttin pictures of snowboarders on a snowboard or cars on a car... dont reiterate that its a ski.
