Re: The Birdgylement of Spring...

Go Birdgyle! Go!

No "...oscope" this week? Or did I just miss it?

He pulled it before it could be rejected (and wisely, as it's already regained its fog spot). I agree with you, to me text-free should be a bit less strict, but woot has a very strict precedent to work off. If he'd risked his luck, he might not be seeing a rejection til tomorrow, and then regaining ground would have been near impossible.

I agree!
I also think that it would help if you change the color and the concept....You know, start over.
I'm not saying I don't like it but maybe if it was totally different or my design (that I have not submitted and never will) that it would get more votes and sell out!
But I really do like it, I just would never buy it.
Don't worry though. I'll be back later to crap on it if it does win. ...Not that I don't think its brilliant.

Re: Welcome Back Spring Bouqet

Oh No! Neck in Neck with a Skulls entry....how can that be? Spring is a happy, colorful time....isn't it? Where are all the happy, smiley voters? We have a fog of zombies, grouchy bears, robots crushing butterflies...but no entry that is happy go lucky. As much as I like a lot of the fog entries, I wish we had at least one that represents a colorful happy Springtime.

edit: oops... no longer neck in neck with skull/spider...as I wrote it, it got two more votes. Surprised that even a Spring derby brought out the darkside....

same, had to view the large pic to see what was really going on.

Re: A Spring

i suspect the use of gradients will be problematic.

Re: Springtime Celebration

hey, thanks for the comments and votes.

Re: All Is Bright

best shirt ever. need it to complement my "all is calm" shirt

Re: Tulips

is the printing going to be outside the area Woot allows?

Re: New Year, New Life...Wait, What?

so Cute!

Re: Urban Bloom

Fantastic. Definitely need another riffmaster shirt.

Re: Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

They don't make them like this anymore.

Probably, but that'll be a shame seeing as argyle is enjoying a resurgence on the fashion scene. Even American Eagle has gotten into the act in the last month or two. http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat90012&productId=prod2440101

Viva la argyle! Or is that l'argyle? Anyway, Woot should have an argyle-themed derby. The possibilites are endless, although some are a tad too mainsteam for my tastes.

I do like this tree, though. The mushroom cloud effect really draws the eye.

Re: Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

I don't know what goes on in your brain, but I like it.

Re: Spring Shming, Where's My Coffee

This looks like my dad when he wakes up!

Re: Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

Oh, now THAT is priceless! ROFL! Love the apprehension on that kid's face. "Uh-oh!"

Re: Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

Thanks adderxyu and parkermc, it's really more of an illustration of how I get my ideas. I just put on the bear suit and rock back and forth on a springy guinea pig until something hits me. Like transcendental meditation for crazy people.

Re: Textured Monarch

Very Very Cool.

Unfortunately, skulls are everywhere these days. Trying to buy skullless shirts these days, even for kids, is an adventure. A loooooooooooooong adventure. And that's not a good thing.

Re: April showers acid rain

Okay, this is one skull on a shirt that I can appreciate. One that actually has a point -- so to speak.

Re: Pollen Swirls

Very beautiful design. I like these flowers better, even though the rose color was great. I hope the pollen swirls will show up well.Hope it gets printed!

Re: helicopter

This is so elegantly simple, I love it. Centering would kill it.

Re: Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

wheee dekon, i knew it was yours even before i opened the thumbnail :D the only one id buy in the derby so far! gmv!

oo fun derby

Re: Hope Springs Forward

Here is my entry for the week. I really hope you guys like it!

Is there an intentional smiley face made by the hammock and those two leaves, or just coincidnece I am seeing? Sadly can't get past it to give my vote right now... :-/
I love the concept and chillin' in the hammock scene, might get my vote when I look again later...

that wuz teh funneh! That's like when someone says, "Oh, you got your hair cut." And nothing else.

I do like this design, but I'm with klswoot, the flowers get lost in the yellow. Perhaps different flowers would show up better? I know you chose spring flowers, but there are others from which to choose, too. This is too good to let a shirt color dominate the design.

Re: I can has cherries too?

This doesn't seem like your normal cho fair. I kinda like it.

Re: A Spring

this looks like a solidworks model, is somebody a drafter?

Thanks! That's the best compliment ever, I'm so glad I have a "style".

Re: First Leaf of Spring

i'm diggin the main idea, however I feel it could of been drawn differently

Re: April showers acid rain

buffalo woot users unite!

I like the idea behind this design, and i feel that the addition of the small skull defiantly adds to the overall

Re: Florida Pompano (Re-Sub)

I would like some input on why this vacuums. I will admit that I just discovered the pen tool a week ago, but I feel like this is better than some other designs that have more votes. Please give me some constructive criticism. Is the lack of expertise blatantly evident? Or is it just that people don't want to wear shirts with fish on them? I don't mean to sound like a whiner. I didn't expect a winner or anything, I just thought maybe a few votes would come my way.

This site and it's derbies have inspired me to create and I'd like to know what I could be doing to improve on my designs.

Thanks.

Re: The Birdgylement of Spring...

As I mentioned in another thread, argyle has really jumped back onto the fashion scene this spring. It's everywhere in the mall. Ran into it in virtually every mall clothing store just yesterday. Even American Eagle has it front and center in their stores: http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat90012&productId=prod2440101 As does JC Penney's. Weird how it's come back so prominently. What's old really is new, again.

This is a clever take on a classic design. Normally, I'd reward that with a vote, but when it's already in JC Penney's it's too mainstream and common for me.

Re: (resub) Germination of a Seed

I really like the idea of this. I am not a big fan of the horizontal line that goes across the shirt, i feel it throws the whole design off....it would look alot better if it was removed and then differentiate the roots from the plant ...more brown and green tones

Re: Florida Pompano (Re-Sub)

This is the first time I've seen this design, but the fish are executed very well. In fact, my entire thought when I opened the thread was, "Nice fish, but how is this spring-related?"

Don't know if that helps.

Re: Music in the Air

one of the best in the derby ...kudos!

Re: Crime Spring Investigation

i thought it was better without the sun and the birds or the paper... just the outline and parts, its clear enough what happened. the shirts looks a little over done... just my opinion

Re: spring blossoms

This has alot of potential...I could see this selling
I like the use of the negative space as the Japanese flowers
