Shirt.Woot

Love it! GMV.

I'm a die hard aviation history enthusiast, that's why i think what i think about your artwork. But just to make a comparison, I'm pretty sure a lot of people in the chemistry world would get annoyed by the 'Chucknorrium' shirt, which I find awesome.
At the end, it's just a matter of opinion.
Sorry to bother you and shake that hand as a sign of peace.

No, no, no! No bother at all. I really enjoyed your critique. I can how this design would bug the hell out of you as a "die hard aviation history enthusiast" No doubt.

It doesn't look rushed at all Boots, don't sweat it. Only critique I have is that the stroke around the halftones looks a little weird on the top left side. Or is that just how it's coming out with the web gfx?

I have some strokes of orange mixed in with the blue line. It looks messy now that it's shrunk down for the comp, but it's subtle and clean at full size. I can't stop looking at it now that you pointed it out. If I had noticed how it looks on the comp, I might have taken it out. It's a small detail, but one that I think adds a little to the design (at full size that is).

Re: I Laika You

Wow ! the design and colors really pop on the shirt,
I would so buy this!
Good luck

Re: The Missing Gene

Inspired by the famous historical photo of one of the most influential and best known scientists and intellectuals of all time.

prove it.

lol. Nice design.

Re: The Missing Gene

this one is very funny.

Is it just me, or are a vast majority of entries this week completely off theme? I mean normally there are a lot of "almost" on theme designs, but it seems 90% of the entries this week are off theme.

Re: No Parking Zone

Fun idea.

Yeah. The 'red baron' (Manfred von Richtoffen, the WWI pilot) is my hero

Ps. Just for the record. Yesterday, 73 yeah ago, was the day when that happened. Just a lil 'efemérides'

Re: How'd You Like Them Apples?

I love everything about this...except for the way the scene just straight up cuts off on the right side...in fact it kind of ruins it for me.

I love the monkeys, Newton is great, I just think I'd rather see the whole tree. The cutoff doesn't work for me.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, Great!

Re: No Parking Zone

the design looks a little small on the shirt to me.

Ah good, I had a feeling that's what it was. 72dpi is hard to get those small details looking good on a monitor sometimes.

Re: Kitty Hawk 4 Eva

I actually really like this design. The artwork is certainly more abstract, but that is absolutely fine.

Keep up the good work.

Re: How'd You Like Them Apples?

Perfect. THIS is what i was hoping to see. Actual historic events, just with a broader view. Those crazy monkeys always DID have it in for Newton.

Re: The Missing Gene

hahaha gmv

I only fear that knowing how schrewd of a business man that Gene Simmons is, he may try to sue for royalties.

Hehe

Re: The Angry Girlfriend

Aha! That little photo-genic cheating b*stard is gonna get what he has coming now!

Way to nail the theme this week.

You know how I feel about historical facts! Take your 'efemérides' and shove it! ;)

(actually I'll totally remember that fact in case in comes up at pub quiz this week)

I have to comment again because I just love this concept and your drawings of the monkeys and Newton. I just can't get over how great the illustration and idea is, and yet how badly the cutoff hurts it. Perhaps if you made the tree a little less wide, and then were able to show the whole tree, placing the left monkey on the right side and inverting him? You could keep all the elements without the awkward cutoff?

Re: titanic!

I love how the squid is absentmindedly playing with the phone cord.

Re: The man who ended the war

I looked. I laughed. I voted.

very clever.

Re: The man who ended the war

THIS SHIRT IS SO EPIC I HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS. THIS BETTER NOT GET REJECTED, HITLER OR NOT, THE DERBY THEME IS HISTORY AND IF THE WOOT! GUYS ARE GOING TO ASK PEOPLE TO REFERENCE HISTORY THEY SHOULD ACCEPT HITLER SUBMISSIONS, SEEING AS THOUGH ITS A MAJOR PART OF HISTORY. AND THIS IS A TOTALLY CLASSIC REFERENCE TO HITLER THIS ISN'T OFFENSIVE IN THE LEAST

Re: The man who ended the war

It's funny every time. Great mood you've created here.

Re: The First Toothbrush?

While the modern bristle brush didn't make an appearance until around 1498 in China. The toothbrush is believed to have been invented in the 1st Millenium BCE.

And if I get rejected because of that... well, with all due respect, than 70% of the derby have to be to. ;)

Ok, that makes sense.

@CHensler2009 - The entire German army was known for that salute, not just Hitler. ;)

Woot better not reject this because it is NOT Hitler. Hitler was thinner, didn't have sideburns, and his stash is very iconic with it being the small strip. This just looks like a German officer imo.

I think it's just Tom Selleck with his stash disguised as a German.

Re: Ben's Motivation

He was a ladies man after all.
It's great.

Not that it's unusual for you but this is excellent.

Re: The man who ended the war

At the least, I think the top panel should be removed...if you know your opponent's move, it's easy to win.

Re: Che Guevara Loses His Sense of Humor

This is a re-draw parody of a pretty famous image.

Because everybody knew one guy in college who loved to get high and ramble on about Che Guevara. But you had to listen to him because he always had the best chronic.

Re: The Angry Girlfriend

Nailed the theme. Great concept. Not sure the design works on the shirt though.

ChefRAZ wrote:the design looks a little small on the shirt to me.

Placement on the shirt only shows everyone where it will be on the shirt itself (front, top and centered). It's up to woot how big/small the final will end up being They won't measure my sample and match it up.

Thanks everyone for the interest!

Re: History of Evolution

So what one is it.... the chicken or the egg LOL

VOTE FOR ME!

x3xleggedxninja wrote:Actually, I consider every presidential election a historical event.

But one is not portrayed here. And there is certainly not a larger perspective of an historical event.

Aside from that, the colors could just as easily be associated with Pepsi. Without the picture of MLK in the mock-up, this looks like a cloud and nothing more.

Re: Apollo No-No

Wow looks a lot like the one I am working on
