My husband told me to do one like this! I figured we'd see one! Nicely done!

Re: L'ego

That is great and I hope you don't rejected.
Now you just need a hard hat to sell along with it to complete the outfit!

Re: Pez Head

lawl...too much funny stuff this derby ^^

Re: I Heart Mr Potato Head

Looks like it would be a good shirt.woot daily. Have you considered submitting directly to woot? Always easier than slogging it out through the derby.

Re: Superhero Revealed

Nice shirt tearing Andy! Well done.

Re: The Man Behind the Curtain

I like the idea, I just don't like the colors together.

Re: Behold the technology!

This was marked as rejected earlier.... *confused*

Re: Zorro Strikes Again

Snap! Someone took my character! :D

Re: Sorry, I'm smokin'

Oops..gonna need to be on a shirt template. Might want to slap the design on one and get it resubmitted before you risk losing many votes...

Beautiful! Could be on Threadless! Love the illustrative style.

Re: L'ego

Is Lego a trademarked image? I hope not because I genuinely like this idea. Great job!

You folks are gonna make me cry Not good for a dude.

Thanks so much... I love this design more than anything else I've done so far. Whether or not it wins, matters not in a way, since I'm just so freaking happy right now that people like him.

Re: Sorry, I'm smokin'

It will get rejected anyway, gradients and/or halftones

I resubmitted with further explanation

It's from Star Wars. The Imperial Navy folk have blocks like this that signify their rank.

Re: Home is Where the Heart Is.

So this is my favorite shirt up so far. I want to buy it, and then wear it.
I really like the execution and colors of this design. Thanks for making something amazing!

Ditto. Very nice job skektek!

From Wikipedia:

"Trompe-l'œil is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects really exist, instead of actually being a two-dimensional painting."

That's what I'm going for. If it's rejected, then it's because I didn't pull it off. :^)

Re: 3x heart

I don't understand how this fits the theme, other than there's a heart in the same spot where it is in the body. Can someone explain it to me? I don't mean to be overly critical.

Oof.

Pair that with JetPack already being in existence, and you're not doing so hot, Rob

This theme sort of begs the question of what the limits are, really. Nobody from Woot has ever addressed the 300dpi requirement and how that translates to the printing process. I've looked at shirts I've bought from Woot and inks do "bleed" a bit - that shouldn't harm the design much. It may even soften the graphic and make it look more realistic.

The question is really whether a 1x1 or 2x2 pixel sized object clogs the screen or not.

Agreed... the art on this is fantastic. It'd be a shame to see it get lost amidst the sea of entries in the derby.

btw, what shirt color is this?

Re: 3x heart

But is it "two sizes, too small"???

Re: The muppet shawl

wow this is good

Re: Pez Head

I love it, you've got my vote, but I've gotta' believe it's gonna' be rejected cause it has the Pez logo.

The problem with small dots is that they, if placed far enough from each other, wont allow the ink to pass through. Placed too close, they'll bleed together and the area will be filled with much more ink than intended. I figured this out trying to make out what happened with my shirt.

I agree that the art is fantastic but I would love to see both - dailies and derbies. I love having something great to root for each week.

Great idea, but i never tuck in my t's.

look closer. I thought it was still too obvious. Thanks all for the encouraging votes. I'm surprised there aren't any other coffee ring entries.

and have a super weekend, everybody!
