Shirt.Woot : One Shirt, No Shoes, No Service (SM)

Oh good. I need this break from late night design work.

My HM entry: Flora vs. Fawna

I hate Double Take derbies. At least give us a heads up as to next weeks theme, so I can get cracking on that.

Yay I needed a break. I've got two HMs in there.

Aw man... I was hoping they would hold off the double take derby until thanksgiving. Now I've got nothing to do tonight, and I'll have to be antisocial with my relatives.

Here's hoping the "something awesome" they've got cooking is an increase to 8 colors for printing shirts!

Well said!

the amesome thing the're working on, they haven't thought of yet= beer hangover

Darn it, I was hoping it wouldn't be double take yet. I really wanted to draw this weekend. Guess I'll have to be on the look out for them to post the topic for next week.

My guess for the "awesome thing" would be coupling with another sponsor, like the Revolution derby, rather than an in-house change in the way the derby is structured.

But, one can always hope, right?

They usually do give us an inkling as to what the next theme is. Perhaps they simply haven't decided on one yet and will announce it later.


That being said, I'm really happy to see this up there this week:

In before comments that "it's not fair that so-and-so got extra time to work on their design because they saw the update to this post before I did"

So, is it gonna be announced today? Or just someday between now and later...

Don't give in to the desu duo... ::sighs::

i, for one, am ecstatic about this double-take, because it means X-Treme National Parks might get printed! :cD

Ah me too, I was wondering when this derby would come around. I *think* I have 2 in this one also... Japan Fan and The Postman Always Rings Twice

BEARSPLOSIONNSSSSSSSS

I don't normally pay attention to double-take derbies (they lack the excitement and drama of rejections etc) but I do expect this design to do well.

maybe hold out hope for "incidental metallic inks". i say incidental because i fear if metallic ink was just added completely we'd have a bunch of shiny just to be shiny shirts.

i still hold out hope for a light gray, non-heathered shirt template. or, and get ready to throw your tomatoes at me, a heather-black template. not a fan of heather-gray, but for some reason heather black sticks with me.

For the record, I didn't mean shiny. I meant shiny. That should be clearer.

That one is great. Wasn't it a later entry the first time around? It probably would have printed if subbed earlier.

Well... I'd appreciate votes for "Wishful Thinking"

Please

Oh well, Double take is fine with me... Gives me a week break from coming up with ideas for nobody to do. :P

Edit: There are several shirts I'm looking forward to voting for.

New shirt colors!!!!! and/or metallic inks, I'd just make a purple shirt with tons of metallic ink on it if that happened.

Maybe they're going to have a derby where the theme is ugly so that there's no way a cute entry can win?

I agree with everyone who said they needed a break - me too, big time. And I love when we get the theme early - a nice casual week of thinking up stuff sounds great!

or maybe, just maybe it will be a thanksgiving one, that will ship too late of course, but is from the indian's perspective, or from the food's persepctive but that might get cutesy.

I'm voting for that one too. It's awesome.

Hoping Woot lets us know what derby 121 will be, so those of us not in the contest can start early... hint hint...

Box Turtles?

Hmm.... guess I will post my HMs, since they're from quite a few derbies back...
There were quite a few people asking if Japan Fan could be printed somewhere else, so hopefully all of them will remember to vote in the double-take!

Was hoping for the theme when I got back from lunch. Oh well. I'll be with you all that are F5'ing for the theme. I probably should have posted my designs earlier, so here they are.

"Two-Faced" from the Two Derby


"The Gift" from the Erase Hunger, Create Hope Derby
(Also now referred to as the Balloon Boy design)

I'd like to see this as floss embroidery on a nice black fabric. That would look awesome.

The hard thing about this derby is that there were so many designs I liked that got HMs.

The easy part will be that no one will be arguing about what's off topic. I hope.

The second hard part will be when the ECs come around. I'll probably be spending money again.

Been waiting for this so I could vote on jewelwing's blue whale entry.

so do double take derbies work the same as regualar derbies minus the rejections and that all the entries have been submitted in past derbies?

I want the next theme too. I don't want to refresh! Grr...

The Doubletake should be good. I remember a lot of good HMs this time around. I think these are all of mine:

"minus the rejections" is an amusing way to say it, but yes.

Things will occasionally be removed at the artist's request ("hey, I sold this somewhere else" or "hey, I want to sell this somewhere else", usually), but there's no reason to reject something at this point because they were already hand-picked by Woot staff.

DOUBLE EDIT, yay they included the pun derby peeps... so here is my only Honorable mention.



But I'm mostly excited to be able to vote on the Nose Hares(ha ha ha) and a whole bunch of other entries I was sorry didn't get more votes.

Voting for this one for sure:

The description says that this goes up to Derby #117 - Halloween. We're gonna have to wait a long time for the Visual Puns to come back.
