Much thanks capedcrusader - nice to hear.

Thanks very much spiritgreen. I was experimenting with textures and highlighting for a while, but it just looked better with less... I like how you said it!

Re: D.QUIXOTE X FRANKENSTEIN

Don Quixote finally achieved what he wanted the most: fight a giant.
5 colors on asphalt, hope you like it.

Re: Huck Finn / The Wizard of OZ

Love your reflected colors from Oz onto the ground and the river. Something about this combo feels like a wonderful, childlike daydream.

Re: Moby D/Twenty Thousand Leagues

Nice work!
I would have preferred to see Moby "Not-Jane" win the exchange by swallowing the Nautilus.

This hits the mark of the derby theme, but I would not purchase a shirt depicting a harpooned whale.

Re: Charlotte's Web/The Lord of the Flies

Ah... Every high school kid's worst nightmare, on a shirt.

Love it. GMV

Oh wait... I just looked at it again in another perspective, and realize maybe what I thought was half a smile is the throat? Which is a lot better, though my mind keeps going back to the smile. Anyway, still think it is fabulous, and adore the owl and pussycat

Re: alice's adventures in wonderland/Land of Oz

I know you were having trouble with the colors for a bit. Nice decision.

Re: 80 Days/20000 Leagues

What's the element of the bottom left? Coral?

I'm a bit confused if this is supposed to be above or below the ocean (although that may be the idea. ^_^ )

Re: Dracula / 20,000 Leagues under the Sea

The colors are so pretty.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=41324]A Tale of 2 Cities of War

I love your style.

And the living smog reminds me of the pollution-thing from Fern Gully.

Re: Moby not Jane/The Bible

never pass rejection but is too good that i wish buy a shirt right now only to vote it

Re: alice's adventures in wonderland/Land of Oz

Still channeling the Zap style a little bit, and that's a very good thing here.

I think you underestimate your drawing skills, odyssey! This is sweet.

Re: Moby not Jane/The Bible

Um...

Re: 80 Days/20000 Leagues

I like the style of illustration. Great stuff

Re: Hamlet/Peter Pan

Alas poor Peter. I knew him Horatio. He was some kid I skewered before killing Tinkerbell.

Re: D.QUIXOTE X FRANKENSTEIN

detail:

I have been trying for 2 weeks now to get a proper entry on here, how does anyone do this! my photoshop shop file is 200M and takes 10 min to save. i need help! do we have to submit the file with the t-shirt and swatches and can i re size it?? why doesnt woot give more information on this?

Re: Moby not Jane/The Bible

*facepalm*

Re: Treasure Island/ The Sign of the Spider

Thanks so much guys! I was working flat out, right up to the wire on this.

I loved the idea of a spider making his own sticky rigging and sailing around catchin' fireflies.

Can someone clear up for me whether this is a Spirate or a Pider?

Funny thing is, I originally was just going to have him mourn the loss of his hand. But it wasn't terribly dramatic having him stare at bony fingers. Then I thought, "What if he finally killed Peter?" All seemed to come together then.

He'll be ok, it's just a scratch. In the next frame the nautilus will be eaten.

Re: Moby not Jane/The Bible

All sillyness aside, Moby not Jane is genuinely dense with biblical allegory. Melville himself did most of the MASH-UP in the text.

Great idea, I wnated to do a frankenstein shirt really bad but they all kept coming out weird and i decided i didn't think woot would like mine. This is sweet though. +1

Re: Treasure Island/ The Sign of the Spider

Nice!

Re: Tom Sawyer/Moby not Jane

Rully, rully great.

Re: Tom Sawyer/Moby not Jane

Cool. Knot in the wood for the eye is a great touch.

Re: alice's adventures in wonderland/Land of Oz

Nice job! One of my faves!

Re: Dracula / 20,000 Leagues under the Sea

Ahahahahahahahahahaha That is so incredibly random! XD

Re: Tom Sawyer/Moby not Jane

You guys both had nearly the same idea!

Re: alice's adventures in wonderland/Land of Oz

@capedcrusader- Thanks, I'm really happy with how the wood grain came out

@BootsBoots- I'm pretty stoked on the mushrooms, I was looking at a lot of Vaughn Bode stuff while researching for the last derby and I enjoyed how he always drew mushrooms. I thought it would fit with the Wonderland theme.

@litic- I was totally going for that classic storybook illustration look, with the colors.

@shinobamoon- Total badassery is my aim

@kylemittskus- Sometimes it really helps to just walk away from a design and color it later. After a good night's sleep, it all just made sense.

@Spiritgreen- I'm officially in love with the Zap Comix style. It actually lines up pretty well with my graffiti roots, so I'm having fun with it for now. I think my assessment of my drawing skills has quite a bit to do with me always being surrounded by people who are super talented. I know my limitations and really try to play to my strengths.

You're getting a vote bc you made a giant design. I think I'm going to start a coalition for people who want large graphics.

Re: Charlotte's Web/The Lord of the Flies

I love both books. I'm just sad that there isn't more about it that says LOTF. Most would look at this and just see Wilbur running from hunters.

Re: Moby not Jane/The Bible

GMIVBR!

(Gets My Vote In Before Regected)

Re: Tom Sawyer/Moby not Jane

Great execution,the drips are an excellent touch.

Re: The Tin Woodman of Oz / The Man in the Iron Mask

Is it just me or does the front of the mask look like Iron Man?

Re: D.QUIXOTE X FRANKENSTEIN

Is the distressing really necessary? I think it would do fine without it, in my opinion.

Thanks for all the great comments so far.

I understand but I wanted the shirt to stand alone too bc the theme this week is kinda random and you either need to make the connection extremely obvious or very subtle, i went with subtle.

Re: Moby not Jane/The Bible

full of win

Re: Tom Sawyer/Moby not Jane

this is really well done. love the background colors.
