You continue to be wrong, of course. It's $1000. From Friday to Thursday, there is no $10 shirt. There is $1000 and a number of designs vying for it. Just as the best films should win Oscars, and the best raises should go to innovative and hard-working employees, that prize should go to shirts that offer a little something more. Unless you like rewarding lesser work, in which case I'd LOVE to work for you.

Simply put, woot has a bigger payoff than most other shirt sites, yet most shirt sites not only charge more, but smartly don't trust their own users to dictate each shirt's worth exclusively. Woot does trust us, and we try to screw the pooch every week. What's at stake isn't a $10 shirt. It's credibility. And that big hunk of money I mentioned before.

Definitely gonna get this one for my father and myself.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

This shirt is a direct opposite of what tgentry and cho are doing for shirt.woot. They are laughing all the way to the bank.

You should post this in the shirt's thread. That way I'll remember to notify you if I get it printed somewhere else. It's not even in the fog, so unless there are multiple ties in the top, there's no way I'm getting printed this week.

Re: The Heart of Nature

Darn it. Regardless of how it was made, whether or not it was up to someone's "standards", etc. etc. whatever...this was the only shirt close to the top this week I considered wearable. Sure, the shirts in the fog are well-done (especially the chogentry collabs...I hope to see more of those!), but they aren't things I would wear. At least my husband will be happy that I'm not buying any woot shirts again this weekend. l o l

Re: Breaking Light

Thank you everyone who voted and who enjoyed this design. Thank you for so many kind comments. I'm honored to be as high as I am! Even though I probably wont be printed, I am touched that so many liked my work. Thanks again!

I completely agree with this assessment. Great shirt! I encourage others to try similar themes for those in the crowd that want something a little softer and wearable. Good job, and keep up the good work!

Re: Thrive

awesome shirt! i love it.

I don't mean to be a beautiful tulip, but I really can't look at this design without thinking those flowers are eyes. No matter how hard I try. Although perhaps if the oil well were alive that might have some deep meaning...

Re: Thrive

I would definitely buy this shirt if it won.

Five days later, I still have the poem stuck in my head. (As much as one can have a poem stuck in one's head, anyway.)

I have had the poem stuck in my head aaaaaall week!! The poem definitely makes it. I think I would actually prefer the shirt WITH the poem on it. If you decide to sell it anywhere, let me know

Re: Thrive

There were several others I thought were better

I apreciate your enjoyment of my design, but I think I know what I did wrong.. First, the design is too low on the shirt, and secondly, when I look through the other entries, it's clear that using the full shirt image may have not been the way to go with the shirt comp and design detail images, but I'm proud of this...

I can't wait to buy this shirt.

Im sorry, I failed you, im very limited on friends, but if you ever decide to print this or something on your own, im in for one no matter the cost, hit me up on my email, my woot username at yahoo.com

hope it makes it out of the fog...

I totally agree. This was the only shirt I was planning on buying. As much as I like looking at the other designs, it's just not something I want to wear/buy more of. I hope to see more designs like this! Congrats on making it this far up despite all the silly drama surrounding it.

adorable

Re: Yay Frendz!

I agree with your placement decision reasons very much.

My condolences on finishing 6th.

My congrats on finishing 6th!!

Re: Breaking Light

yippee!!

I do believe you are a threat to them, sir.....

Please continue to submit.

Re: The Heart of Nature

i'm in love with this shirt. great design, i want one more than any other i have seen on this site.

Re: green is for camouflage

I don't know how this didn't win the derby. The top four aren't even wearable in my opinion. Please keep submitting stuff to the derbies.

Re: Thrive

Wow.I like it alot.I'm wait till i can buy it.

bldldldp

jk

Re: Thrive

i need to have this.

I actually have a tattoo on my calf with an extremely similar design :-) Very well done, if I hadn't been away from my computer for a week I definitely would have voted for it!

Re: Breaking Light

I actually have a tattoo on my calf of a very similar design; if I'd seen yours in time I'd definitely have voted for it; very well done indeed!

Re: Breaking Light

Really cool shirt... I am torn if this wins beacuse the last shirt I bought (pretty long time ago) was also green with trees

IT's ok Dasponge2004, there'll be other chances for me to design angry things I'm sure.

Re: Pocket Envy

The frog looks very lifelike. Unfortunately, the pocket looks fake. I am also concerned that the thin lines for the pocket may not show well on an actual shirt.

I like this one too. The shamrock boots are a nice touch.

Re: Breaking Light

So disappointed this one didn't get printed. I hope it qualifies for a future derby!

This better than all the ones that made it. I'm disappointed. This should be on my torso right now
