I really like Entry #37. Not sure about him standing on the flag, but from a sense that the francophone community is supporting the karate, I think it's good concept. With the black border, could you try a white circular area with black text? And maybe the red/black inside swapper (black under him, red behind him)? Thanks!
I like the circular format, not as much the shield idea from Entry #34.
Also, just checking on the kick he's doing. If a high thrust kick, please turn the top foot in a bit so the heel is thrusting. Also, his torso is falling back a bit too much. He could be turned in more (facing towards us rather than leaning straight back). Thanks!
Looking good. With the white, the foot is no longer visible. Please do a test to see if he can be shrunk a bit for his foot to be inside for that. Or maybe it needs a black inner border or something. Thanks!
I like Entry #57 with the shadowing. Not sure about kicking the T however. Please bring the toes back on Entry #56 so he's thrusting out more with his heel. That would leave a thin line between the foot and the border. Thanks again. Great job!
#83 is closer. The left foot is now a bit too far down (my student thought so too). Maybe parallel to the border. Also, left arm please put out straighter (135 degree bend). Many thanks again.
Left arm is great (#88 e.g.). I'm thinking that the shotokan kanji is a bit complex, so would probably end up going back to the "kara ta" kanji and maybe "kara te do" since that has three characters and I think it fills the black section very nicely with three characters. I like the bamboo. Might be more expensive to embroider, but could work. Very nice. Thank you for the designs!
