Shirt.Woot

Re: Boyhood Dream

Love this! And the colors. Wish it was a tad bigger. Can you post a bigger picture. Great work!

What I am surprised at is when somebody (anybody) takes their dislike for a particular shirt, and turns it in to an opportunity to insult someone (or an entire forum of people) personally.

I really and truly respect the fact that everyone has an opinion and the right to share it, but throwing around put-downs and insults is not really expressing an opinion, it's just unnecessary. When I don't like shirts, I just don't vote for them I may offer constructive criticism (mostly when asked), but I do not lash out and question/judge/insult the designer's skills, physique, political views, sexual orientation or otherwise. I just don't get it.

It's a shirt with cupcakes growing from a tree, it's brightly colored, it's supposed to be fun and/or funny. It shouldn't be the center of a rage filled debate. At the end of the derby, either people voted for it or they didn't, none of this back and forth will really matter.

I am always pleased and grateful to win or be printed (this week would be no exception), but if it doesn't happen I am fine with that. I always just figure it means that not enough people liked the shirt, nothing personal, just didn't like it. That said, it's nice to see as many positive posts and notes as negative ones. It probably all balances out in the end!

Cheese your a class act. For that reason, I will buy your shirt if you win. I voted for it, but wasn't sold on it until your most polite reply to the critics. Well said!

That was uncalled for. And your title is correct. It is Ugly.

Re: Sleeping Problems

I love this design. Very cute, fun and super creative. Glad to see that the voters agree. Congratulations on your quick rise to the top!

Re: Cats fly in dreams with wings...

:3 I love kitties. Sorry to see this one go and yah the judging is kind of weird, but it doesn't mean it's a bad design. I really like the colors and swooshy blue things in the bg.

(btw I have been rejected for designing a "violent" shirt when apparently zombies with brains showing and bones with meats showing isn't as violent stay in derbies) (my shirt was just someone getting punched in the face very cartoony but eh.)

Cheese, you are awesome. A truly classy lady!

Yep. Very rude. And because of such a rude comment, I'm going to leave one, too: it's been done to death and still available for purchase! Try again.

Thanks, snarky. I really appreciate you saying (typing) that.

Re: When Hippos Dream..

Rejected for not changing enough? Wow that sucks. I thought you changed a lot of it as well. Oh well... :3 I really like the sad faces lol makes me feel bad for the poor hippos.

Re: Clown Fish

Re: Nerd No more

Re: floating rabbits

I like this. The white outline of the face is my fav part.

Re: Restless Night

:3 your textures make me happy.

Re: Sweet Dreams Are Made of These...

Lawl... they're the cupcakes of rage! CUPCAKE ARMAGEDDON!!! :O

Re: Dream at Night

I like this one too. The thumb nail doesn't do it justice I almost over looked it. It's well drawn and clean :3 vote.

dog is cute at the end of the bed too lol

Re: I Want To Be An Astronaut

:3 could you put it on a shirt so we can see? I'm fond of your drawing.

Those aren't cupcakes, those are battle-bots trained to kill the enemy.

tgentry wrote:Where was this four days ago?!? I really want this shirt! Argh.

I'll second that.

tgentry wrote:Thanks! Yeah it was a trade-off. Add the final leg and clutter up the design or leave it off and have people point out there's only 7. I figured most people that see it on the street wouldn't count them, but they would notice it was kind of cluttered looking. It was the lesser of two evils I think.

did you consider adding it, but in a really dark color, quite close to the shirt color?

klswoot wrote:I love this design. Very cute, fun and super creative. Glad to see that the voters agree. Congratulations on your quick rise to the top!

Indeed! This is all very humbling. It was a lot of fun drawing (couldn't help smiling at the little buggers) hopefully others feel the same. It's one of the precious few drawings that just seemed to draw themselves
Thanks!

tgentry wrote:I'm sure if I fooled around with it for a while I could work it in somewhere, but I settled on the 7 and I'll stand by it. It's a dream after all. Things are weird in dreams! 7 is a lucky number.

I just assumed that it was hidden behind the rest. I don't think you really need to defend it. Now if it were a sheep with only 3 legs, that might be something to argue with ;^)

Re: A Dream of High Performance

Cute! Reminds me of things I used to draw.

Re: Sweet Dreams Are Made of These...

Lordy. I tried to read all the comments on here to see what all the hub bub was about, but I felt my soul dying from all the wah babies.

The colors are awesome I love sprinkles on my cup cakes. Love the song. The layout is really nice. I like the size. I think you are made of magic.

Re: What Dreams Are Made Of

I really like this. The placement is interesting and the detail/colors very appealing.

Re: What Dreams Are Made Of

Oop, sorry, forgot to say that I think the placement might be made slightly better if the boy was lower, like toward the bottom of the shirt, while the "dream" remained where it is. Just to spread it out a bit more.

Re: Boyhood Dream

I wish this was submitted earlier. I also wish it was bigger. Its hard to get all the details when its so small.
