Congratulations to SBR for making it into the fog for the first time! YEAH!! I might get to buy the candle shirt. Yippee. But, please get the little monsters back into the fog too.

Ok - One more late submission

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are

Vote em both into the fog, and get the matching set...

Still holding out hope for candle, monsters and bagged fish. That would be my ideal (yet costly) derby finale.

(No disrespect to Bryan, Shan or DarthV8r...you are equally deserving...just not my style of shirt this week.)

Check out my pocket protector shirt with extra filk pun. I was going to a full-on Nerd Bandolier but ran out of time:

It's not my favorite Shan24 design, but it is on theme. The post-its are applied to the shirt as a cheat sheet for the wearer of the shirt. I think if Shan had added a shadow under the post-its to really make them look 3D and curl away from the shirt, it would really look like the notes were attached to the shirt. Right now, they kind of float in front of it...at least that's how I see it. You can see the underside on a few of the notes, but a shadow cast onto the shirt would have really given the shirt the extra depth it needs to feel like the post-its are stuck to the shirt.

But, in Shan's defense, I do think it's on theme. It's not my style of shirt, but I can see it being popular with the woot crowd based on past derby winners.

Sorry, but I have to disagree KLS, I don't think it is on theme at all, and I don't feel the post-its "float in front" of the shirt at all.

Yes!

Really? Which rule did I miss hearing about?

superspryte wrote:If the lemur photo isn't yours this'll get rejected. Just saying.

I didn't just live trace it. It's my own impression of the picture. Granted the outline is pretty spot-on, but the shading and etcetera is my own. I think it's enough to say it's different. I supplied the source so you can see how I interpreted it. I posted a live trace version in the comments of my submission, so you can see I didn't just use that.

No apologies necessary Snarky. It's seems on theme to me, can you tell me why you disagree. Just curious. I guess I'm missing something. (Isn't it trying to trick the viewer into thinking that post-its are stuck to the shirt?)

After rereading the definition for the topic, I was mistaken. It is on theme... IMO.

i'm not mean....just that honest part. but i never ever say something to be mean. The truth, as they say, sometimes hurts.

Don't believe there would be any kind of legal protection around open source stuff but maybe I'm missing something.

Tact, they say, is making a point without making an enemy.

agreed

Thanks to kls, WonderWooter, 2005vette, (and anyone else I may be leaving out--sorry!) for taking the high road. I appreciate that some or all of you wouldn't buy this design but thanks for defending its theme-ness. I esp. liked yeeter's quote above, I wish more people would live by that rule when posting here

The key to that sentence is "trying" but I don't feel it succeeded in the slightest bit. I feel it is flat. There is no sense of 3-d to me. It seems very flat to me.

I have an idea to give away to a more skilled person with time on their hands. I could never pull this off, but I would love a shirt that shows my insides to be old and rusty gears locked together for eternity. The "insides showing" idea has been done, but I feel like this would be more meaningful than many of those entries. not quite as dark as a black-hole heart, but kinda like that feeling. Take it if you like it, ignore it if you don't.

I agree with you on that point. Like I said in an earlier post, the illusion of 3D could have been achieved by adding a shadow under the post it. It would have made the post its look like they were really attached to the shirt. For me, the flatness of the design makes the papers look like they are simply floating in front of the shirt and are not attached. But, Shan did curl the edges and overlap a few of them and in that way, you can tell that they are supposed to be on the shirt as a sort of cheat sheet to the wearer. I can't imagine that it would be rejected for being off-theme. Still seems on theme to me.

The shading is your own in the sense that you physically did it. Beyond that, it is a pretty clear cut copy of the original photograph, a derivative work, and you are trying to make a few hundred dollars off of it. Take a look at this:

Following bfassburg, I also tried to think of a way to make a shirt that makes its wearers look pregnant. I have no idea how one could do it, though I haven't thought too hard about it. I am surprised that a shirt like this doesn't already exist, but I'd love to see an attempt. I don't think it'd be a big seller, but to see one man wearing it would probably warm up this cold, empty heart of mine.

I usually find those shirt details the have an "actual" person in them off-putting (for no good reason -- it's a personal quirk), but now, when I actually would like to see these shirts on an "actual" person I don't seem to be able to find any.

Hm... I guess that's the way.
