AdderXYU wrote:There are lots of things that are right with this design (and I really like how you busted out the boldest colour out there for it, yet made it seem natural), but the design seems to drown itself out, so that the motorcycle element seems lost in the greenery.

I agree w/ Adder's assessment.
I'd like to see the greens thinned out to reveal more of the bike, as well. But I like where you were going with this. It's one of the few distinctly motorcycle-themed designs I've seen in awhile on this site (maybe ever), which makes me both happy and sad.
It reminds me of an older Triumph or Norton that's been abandoned in a field for awhile and now it needs to get weed-whacked and ridden!
And, wow! a peach shirt, bold indeed - again happy and sad. that wuz teh funneh

I agree that it does look like an 'a', but I might not have noticed it until I saw the comment. GMV anyway. =P

Re: Zombie Garden

Awesome.

Re: Spring Shming, Where's My Coffee

Great, love that expression!

Re: Spring Brake

You might want to try vectoring this photo and resubmitting. The Woot folks don't take kindly to photographs.

I so need this shirt for my husband!

superspryte wrote:Sooo, shame on me for not looking for Green Man designs before doing this one. I did one back for the Summer into Fall derby (he was turning brown) and did my research then. I'd like to think mine's different enough to stand but that's what everyone says so if/when it gets rejected I'll remove it. ^_^;

Why would it get rejected? None of these links are to a previous derby entry.

But if it does, you can add the lines from your original drawing and call it Spring Icon Behind Bars.

My girl wanted a tree with birds and a nest. I hope you all enjoy the design. I could spend a lot longer working on it but want to get it turned in before bed.

but, erm... as a fellow artist... YOU DRAW ON LINED PAPER?!??

does not negate my feelings for you or green man face. ;j

ha. i was thinking the same thing... i could see a graph pad if you were trying to go for some symmetry thing... but school ruled lined paper should only have homework written on it.

regardless, this is great. gmv.

I hope this wins. I will definitely buy it!!

snarkygal wrote:Must have bought the same vector art pack

And your point? If you purchase design elements for commercial use, why is this a problem so long as your final design is your own vision and not copied from another person's design. I think you are missing the whole idea behind graphic design. Andy's design looks like a graphic design or tattoo entry rather than an 'art' entry. People like this sort of thing. It doesn't have to be your type of shirt, but there's really no need to get nasty. But I know these comments seem to make you happy ... gotta live up to that username.

agreed. ditto for puppies.

narkus wrote:weak

Don't worry Narkus. That's just snarky. Especially sad when I spent 16 hours on the 3 entries, 2 of which are hand-drawn. The only one with modified vectors took 4 hours and is 100% my own vision...vectors excluded. But, there's no convincing those that have such strong opinions. Better to just let it rest...

I know. But for me, I would think that trying to stay positive would be so much healthier on one's soul. But I'm a tree-lovin' vegetarian that meditates and does yoga. (Okay...that's not all entirely true. )

I do love Snarky's username, however. It's great!

Thanks for the comments. The Fall leaves do look like dorito colors :P

Re: Spring-ATRON R.E.S.U.B. Mark 2 resub

Congratulations on getting back to the fog! I knew you would. So glad you took the advice and removed the first one early. Would have been tough to wait until Monday or Tuesday and face a possible rejection.

Good luck!

tgentry wrote:Ha, while I like the idea of a female version, it might just cut the votes for this one in half and neither would have a chance of placing. At least it could go like that I guess. Thanks for the interest though. I like the idea of the fuzzy human slippers too, but it would be too close to Chobomb's human teddy bears really.

Definitely don't enter another version for this derby. I agree. It would compete against the fogged one. But, it might be something to keep on the back burner for another design outside of woot. Might be a good one for you.

Thanks! This is a really great creative outlet. I really appreciate te kind words.

Thanks. I tried it out and I think it looks nice with blue on brown (with a different color of blue). Click the image to go to it:

Love this on brown!

Re: Zombie Garden

Cool!!!

Re: Explosive Growth

I'd vote for this if it weren't for the shirt color. I don't like the American Apparel Asphalt tees

littlejetties wrote:Thanks. Yeah, I don't think this is for everyone. I do hope there are some other pompano enthusiasts hanging around the derby. When spring arrives, I cant wait to hit the beach in hopes of a pompano dinner.

OH.... MY.... GOSH. I cannot believe there is a shirt submitted at Woot that has a Florida Pompano on it. I used to do research on how to raise them for aquaculture. What a great fish. They really are beautiful when you watch them swim. And they are extremely tasty. I wish I could say that I would wear this, but as a female, I just can't see myself wearing a large fish on my shirt... if only it was smaller... Nice job on the detail though!

Re: The first bud of spring

This is my second entry ever. Did I do everything right?

Flying kites is one of my favorite springtime activities!

bluchez wrote:This looks to be a trace (with minor alterations) of a "cherry blossom tree" image that is copyrighted (4th on GIS). I think I remember a lot of rejections during the water derby for similar tracings, so you might consider drawing a new tree and resubbing before it gets too late.

i used like 6 diffrent cherry blossom refrences. in order to avoid this issue.
