Re: Trick or Treat Terror

If you redid the design, why wasn't this one taken down?

This has to be the ballsiest resub I've ever seen. Is your ability to judge originality seriously damaged in some way? Because if not, the only way to read this is contempt for the rejectionator in a way that no printed derbyist has ever displayed. I'm actually puzzled at this point as to which possibility is the truth.

Can someone point me to the shirts like this that DON'T look like they were designed in the 1940's of for my grandmother, please?

This is a great design. I love the rough hatching. It has my vote. I hope it goes to the top.

I agree. You may see a pumpkin throwing up on a porch somewhere, but on a shirt? It's a great design. It is a bit simple, but still quality.

ajsweedl wrote:these criticisms are ridiculous. Such a literal interpretation. The symbolism of the heart in the floorboards is fantastic. The shirt is simple and yet it reminds me of so many details of the outrageous old man. It's a superb halloween shirt!

I agree! I live in Baltimore, where Edgar Alan Poe is buried and believe me, we've see a lot of shirts inspired by his literary works. I would so buy this shirt. It has my vote.

I think it's very clear what's going on

Re: flu-like symptoms

shouldn't the placement be more up on the chest? The alien never rested in the host's abdomen.

(otherwise, I love it)

Re: We Carves People

I liked the original, but I really, really, really, really, really, really love it with the fixed up speech bubbles. I haven't wanted a shirt this badly in a very long time - I'm excited for this one!!

I am blown away by the creativity of a non-black cat in a pumpkin. It's so original. I don't understand what everyone is complaining about.


EDIT: I fixed the second link to show the image this looks too much like. I'll also post it here.

I looked through 12 pages of Zazzle tshirts. I found 2 that had a cat IN a pumpkin. And neither of those were in a style I find appealing enough to wear.

Anyone?

Re: Zombie Vampire Robots from Space

for some reason, it reminds me of this:



and as others have said, I would LOVE this on a different color. ANY other color. Regardless, I hope this does well.

I totally agree with you. Why the harsh critiques? It's for a t-shirt. Lay off a bit.

Re: The Halloween Tree

I agree with other users on the gray color. It makes the shirt look like my grandma would wear it.

Come on over to Where-Zombies-Shop for the latest fashions! A zombie would totally wear this shirt. Yeah right!

Re: Go Out Prepared!

Haha, very funny! The geek in me loves the "Ag" ^_^

Re: Four Score and Seven Zombies: Resub

LOL! Hilarious!

It's for a thousand dollars.

Re: The Monster Bash resub!

No real changes to the design- but a different thumbnail at the suggestion of Chennai8, who said the old thumbnail suggested the design would be "just some pretty anime girl. Thanks for the tip, Chennai8- I hope this thimbnail better conveys the gritty and dark power-punch pulp fest I'm going for.

Re: He's right behind us, isn't he

Mmmm...a few things, Ramyb.

1. I'm sad to see you reverted back to chibi animals (which are cute--just not in mass amounts) when you showed a bit more promise in the National Park derby. Surely two rejections didn't snuff out any real attempt this time around?

2. The expression on the dog's face is...okay. It has that dead-eyed zombie look but it's hard with the little details to see. I think it would be funnier if maybe the dog was sniffing the cat with a hungry look on his face.

3. I liked it better when they were on the stoop.

4. Can you draw anything else but rabbits, cats, and dogs?

Okay, that's my critique. I'm sure this will sell a lot of kid-sized shirts if it places.

Re: Till Death Do Cat and Keys Part

Eerie and cool. +1

Re: We Carves People

Thanks for the comments, everyone! And big thanks to everyone who made suggestions. I think I incorporated most of them in some way. You were all a big help.

@Kyle - "Guts" was a nice idea. If $4 is all you're charging, I can totally swing that. ;)

Re: BRAINS!

Fantastic design!

I really appreciate you breaking it down for me... I always love a crit, especially when I'm trying out new things! <3

Thanks for your generous feedback, guys.

Re: Batbear

I really just wanted more woot shirt with bears on it :D

And I mean COME ON! Bear in Batman costume!!

Re: The Halloween Tree

I like the heather gray, grandma or not. ;)

Re: Batbear

LOL! This is a great design!

Re: Snack Time

Your color use is great. I love how gory yet comical the design is.

Re: Trick AND Treat

It's not Halloween without Ninjas!

It's not a woot reference. Its an exclamation point regarding excitement over candy corn.

Re: Trick or Treat Terror

Tried to read the heated debate, decided I didn't care. Love the bunnies, love the kitty (haven't seen the others) *and* I had no problem judging the dog as a zombie without reading the thread, so wasn't that hard for someone who isn't trying to tear someone else apart to see what's up.

Lots of shirts get printed that I dislike, but that's how it goes. +1 for me. ::shrugs:::

Re: A Healthy Snack

With the growing health concerns of eating teenager head pizza, Freddy decides a change in diet is in order.

You've got my vote!

Re: the flavor of the season

Great design. It's chilling, yet you can see the passion between the woman and vampire. GTV

Re: No One's Friend

He may be a loner, but he manages to make my belly happy on Halloween!

Re: Ghost

I kinda looks like Voldemort.

Re: the flavor of the season

Gorgeous and striking. Love that you stuck with a limited palette.

Re: Candy Corny

Candy corns on a bed of fresh argyle...
