I love this! It's the perfect thing to wear to next year's Can't Stop the Serenity event. C'mon people, vote! *wants*

Re: Duality (Resub)

Ambigram of TWO like before..
Hopefully it reads as TWO this time

FINALLY DONE! Whew! Another case of getting trapped in details. AND not being used to doing cartoons. Hope you like it.

Re: Peace Fingerprint

Wait, is the part facing us the back of the hand (looks like the back of a left hand to me instead of the front of a right hand)? Because, if so, that gesture in the UK is pretty much the same as giving the middle finger in the US. Not exactly what I'd want on a shirt :-(

Re: Two feet one problem

ok so i made this shirt to announce the annoyance of getting your heels stepped on while wearing flip flops. Its positioned nicely on the back to inform followers which could be especially useful if you are wearing flip flops yourself! I picked baby blue because it looks like a summer color and who doesn't wear flip flops in the summer?! feedback, comments, votes all appreciated, thanks for looking!

Re: Getting to Second Base

Wow... I'd really like to meet this rejectionator person. I mean seriously... What's with the rejection explanation here! All I got to say is this, the Woot staff has no sense of humor. A big "Foxtrot Uniform" to you woot rejectionator.

Re: Double Rocksicle

I'd wear the Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) out of this.

Re: Make Lions Not War

I knew this was yours from the thumbnail :D voted.

a bit to early to give up yet.

Re: 2 Too Tall?

Excellent! I like your yetis.

I wish those who are voting would see and reward some of the other entrants whose designs truly merit consideration because of their originality, interpretation of theme and artistic beauty.

Woot isnt about originality, interpretation of theme and artistic beauty. It is about what my wife and I will wear, and this is a shirt that she WILL wear, like all the other shirts that him, Seki, Deadfrog, and others make that are similar. She likes cute animals, and that is what she will buy.

Yes the hardcore posters here hate these type of shirts, but guess what, THEY SELL THE BEST!

You can hate all you want, but between my wife and I, we own over 30 Woot shirts, and about half of them are from Seki and Ramyb.

There are only two shirts in this whole derby that my wife or I would wear, even if they were free, and this is one of them (the other being Two Heroes).

Re: Queen Of Steam

Thanks for all the feed back everyone! I doubt this will come close to winning this time around, perhaps she'll be back for another derby (full figure and on a different color) in the meantime THANK YOU!!! for all the votes!

Disappointed I cannot vote on this but I definitely would be willing to make this my first shirt.woot.

Tworific job.

I did not realize that, and i actually wave goodbye like that. thanks for the lesson

Seriously? Out of 181 shirts so far, you looked through every single entry? And of 181 shirts, even if they were ALL completely free, there are only TWO that you and your wife would wear? Sounds like you guys are a tad overly picky!

I mean, I guess it is one thing to make an argument that a certain type of shirt is what you like to spend your money on (which is understandable and relevant). I could completely understand that if you'd have just stopped right there with what you were saying. However, to go so far as to say you would only wear 2 out of 181 shirts entered (which you might not have even taken the time to look at) even if they were free, that's a little ridiculous, wouldn't you say?

Re: 2 Too Tall?

I do believe that OSHA would be all over this shirt for the painter yeti not wearing his safety helmet while construction work is being done very near his person. :D

I love this shirt cmdixon, and I rarely like yellow. I think it's just beyond adorable and I really like how you've made it just a really neat illustration with unusual characters that fits the theme, rather than picking a very common phrase or something similar (not that doing that is bad at all, it's just an expected route to follow).

Great work! : )

truffleshuffle wrote:I would just like to say in my defense, that I also felt guilty about this aspect...which I've already mentioned in a previous comment. I wasn't trying to think of a gimmick, I was trying to think of something original. Because I thought of an original way to portray basically one design, I would gladly accept prize money for only one design (regardless of whether 1 or both shirts printed) if it meant another derby artist could also be printed. If this DOES stay up in the fog to the end, I promise upon my life that I will contact the almighty powers of Woot directly with this request.

For me, the issue is that Woot has had the chance to take this sort of action before, and has neglected to. Woot has a very "hands off" policy to the derby which is the very source of most of the outcry and contempt that surfaces therein. I hope you don't feel it is a direct attack on you, truffle... you've got a lot of potential, I think, and hope you continue honing it... but the way the derby works, this concept won't really swing without hurting someone else. Woot will do nothing, voters will vote for both, the hotness and fog will be near impenetrable, and at the end we'll get two incredibly similar shirts, no matter what you may personally request.

Oh gosh! You guys need to spice up your lives and add some variety into the mix! It's like eating that grocery-bought frozen pizza night after night. Then one night, you go out and try one of those authentic Italian gourmet pizza and you love it, and then you realize you've been eating crud this whole time with those frozen pizzas. I suggest changing things up a bit, try something new. It won't hurt I tell yah.

I think the main thing this implies is "when I posted this last night no one was voting".

Even for you this is a horribly done panda.

Re: Two Heroes

Amazing work. Unfortunately, it's too amazing for woot. I'll second the other suggestions about submitting this at some of the more capable shirt sites.

Re: I've come too far to give up now

I have come back to study this entry more than once. It's really underrated by woot votes. Creative use of colors. I'm sold on green ninjas on an orange shirt. I also appreciate the irony of ninjas adhering to any type of bracketed competition. I picture a room full of ninjas waiting in a room hoping to draw the bye. Anyways, good work. Keep the submissions coming.

Re: Two Birds

awesome design, hate that everyone is leaving negative comments about the shirt color, especially considering 2/3 of the shirts ive bought off here were white.

Will absolutely buy this shirt if it wins. Good luck!

Re: 2 Bee...

cute symbolism...i especially like the "oar knot"...

Re: Gimmie a Break

Decent design, but way too close to Donut Panic! in my opinion.

Re: Two Heroes

That anyone is calling this "Amazing art" proves how many wooters section off a LARP night in their weekends.

If this was Warcraftavatar.woot.com, I could see the popularity. As it stands, not even remotely.

Re: Botanical Deux

The monochrome simplicity really makes the design. GMV

Re: The Postman Always Rings Twice

I love this, and I really like the colors

Re: Powers of Two

Everything is opaque, the line weight is adjusted to achieve the effect.

Re: my only friend

Is it just me or does this design really have a lot more to do with one than it does with two??

Re: Two, be friends!

Wooters go on and on and on about "I like this because it's cute." Great.

Now vote for this, because this is how cute is done CORRECTLY.

Re: Botanical Deux

Firstly, it's interesting to see something from you in one color. It's definitely different and gives some insight into how you conceptualize different designs based on color. I like the whole shape of the design - there's a lot to look at but it flows pretty nicely.

Secondly though..perhaps the most troubling part...does the guy wearing your design on a shirt have his sleeves rolled up in the pic? :d

Re: Two Birds

Very nice. SHould have more votes IMO.

nbouscal wrote:Is it just me or does this design really have a lot more to do with one than it does with two??

Well...if the panda is anything like my pet bird, he must surely think there are two people in that room with him right now, instead of just him and a mirror. :d

Re: Listen to your Conscience

Similar idea already exist. This is a proven rejection reason.

Re: 2 Bee...

Oh that's quite clever. I don't think I would've actually gotten it initially had I not read the other person's comment. You did a nice job!

I gotta say.. I don't LOVE the shirt. BUT, the idea is just awesome! So much so that I voted for it and would probably buy one. Great work!
