Re: Quit to save the king

I don't understand the quit part, can someone explain?

and Crime and Puns- a joke book. God, is there any less lighthearted, fun book than Crime and Punishment?

I also listed Hemingway's Old Man, because, as short as The Old Man and The Sea is, it does tend to go on. and on. we get it pretty quick, Ernest, really.

I also really liked War and Peas, a foxhole cookbook, but had to leave something off.

No need to defend, but an excellent defense none the less - great concept and technique

this is classic. I was just watching Hot Rod last night hahaha. " But now I'm not legit so Im gonna quit!"

I like this design and I usually dislike shirts with words on them

Re: Quit now

i like the shirt but it would be cooler without the words.

Re: Check, please

i get it.

Re: Voodon't!

wow, this little guy is gaining some serious momentum, it's only a matter of time before it joins me in the fog. C'mon little voodude!

Re: Computer User's Way Out

I feel like "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" is when all else fails.. good design though.

Re: Math vacuums..I don't get it...I QUIT!!

Behind all the scribbling and words is Calculus.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. They aren't real kittens.

Re: When Socks Quit

That is hilarious,

you sir are no Edgar

Boy, you people ought really to follow the Derby better before you start making unfounded accusations. I have been drawing snails and slugs on woot since before there was a derby. As far as Edgar's style, this ain't it. Edgar draws fine lines around everything, and he uses speech clouds. Further, he doesn't use shadowed silhouettes like I do, like I have done for a looong time. In addition, the hallmark of Edward's style is the intricate detail he puts into his clearly unreal shapes- the only recognizable creature I've seen that he drew was the giant diplodocus he drew in the time travel contest.
This design is a great deal like designs I have entered in derbies since the very first derby. In general, the lines are not smoothed, and mostl there are not lines around anything in my drawings, but some do have them. I tend to use silhouettes, even in the focus of my drawings, but certainly in the other parts, like these wine bottles. I also tend to distinguish between the objects by having each a different shade of darkness rather than having lines around them. Though I didn't include examples, I have made several designs where I put veins in the eyes of a variety of creatures. None of the following designs is exactly like the slug who ha finished his beinge, and wants no more to drink, but all of them share many more characteristics than any of them share with Edgar's.

In general, my designs have been sort of middle of the pack, and lower, but I've been there contributing to every Derby. All of these are clickable and will take you to the original entry, in case you need a better view to be sure I really have made this many bad entries. :^|

derby 1

The Smartpost snail was Fenstar's non-entry, but it is my picture, which woot still uses on the "Ballad of Cherishing" detail image.

derby 4 derby 6

In derby 11 I had a series that included the Hipposhark, one of my very favorite entries ever. The scarecrow is another of my favorites that suffered from a poor shirt detail image.
derby 13 derby 14 slugsderby 15 derby 16 derby 20 derby 22 derby 24 derby 25

While I love Edgar's work, but I don't 'do' Edgar.

Re: I Just Don't Give a Dam

Now that I see the completed version, this is even BETTER than I thought! Great Job!

I like this one

Haven't you ever heard of a chicken exit? Like on a roller coaster, sometimes they'll have the chicken exit for people who chicken out? I've seen them in haunted houses too.

Re: True Love Never Quits

As promised one contemporary collaged abstract for your viewing pleasure.

A romantic, flirty, contemporary design stating that while other forms of love may quit, "true love" never quits. The weath in the background is made by layering the title's text in a circle to reinforce the idea that it never quits.

Keep on believing! I appreciate your votes.

Re: Quit While You're Ahead

I guess the 50's aren't as big as they used to be..

Patchitect wrote:I guess the 50's aren't as big as they used to be..

There's been so much of this with the eames-era designs. Maybe folks have met their saturation point. Still....I think it's a cool design. I wanted to do something quirky with "Quit while you're ahead". You did a good job with it!

Re: You have to know when to quit

rejected.woot.sorry
They don't like woot references in the derby shirts.
Sorry.

Absolutely Cool. I want this. In fact I have many people I want to buy this for.

I love everything about this design, especially the colors. Good luck!

i'm not sure, it might be.

no, probably not.
hey, I can still make light comments even when I've been annoyed. ;^)

Funny but Woot will reject

Re: IЙ SФVIЭT ЯЦSSIД JФB QЦIT УФЦ!

I really hope this (or one of the Soviet Russia shirts) wins.. this one is my favorite so far.

Re: Voodon't!

There are some great entries up this week (and they got votes), but I've got to go ahead and say that this is my fav. GMV!

Wow - this guy looks possessed. Maybe that's the point?

Re: Voodon't!

I love this design - excellent use of the :/ face.

I also think that olive is the perfect color for this shirt.

Thanks Frogboyjb. It's subtle, I just hope it isn't too subtle so that the rejectorator blows it away.

Re: True Love Never Quits

Beautiful!!! I love it!
