Really nice design, like it was said.. resub with a smaller graphic and it looks like there may be gradients in the tree which is a no no.

One small thing though, as I do not get the pocket thing either. At first I thought the highlighted squares would show a lot more foliage, as in the tree blooming for spring. Maybe think about adding some extra leaves/buds in those pockets.. Sort of like.. hey look at this dead tree.. oh wait, I SEE SPRING!

I totally agree. Let's help this one get up there! I really want to buy it... but it needs to get printed first!

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

Arug... I hate light-blue shirts though...

Kinda ugly

Great design though

Re: Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

I don't like the huge spring... so if they reject it because it is outside the printable area I would make that smaller (or remove it alltogether) and keep the bunny & guy the same

Re: Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

one word of suggestion: write "open for more detail" or something on the thumbnail, so they click on it and get the whole pic :D

Re: Zombie Garden

wow...that is pretty cool. Zombies Rock....but they eat too much. I'm constantly going to the supermarket for more canned meat.

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

I like it! A tad on the Girly side, but i think i could manage wearing it. But only because its awsome.

Re: Pockets of Spring

Hey, thanks everyone
I resubmitted this as Pockets of Spring II.
Hope it's not too late

Re: Pockets of Spring II

This is my resubmission of the original Pockets of Spring design.
Thanks everyone who commented my first and helped me out in what I needed to change.

Re: Green Man

i like the design but love the color, this is the only contestant i am voting for, all the others look like something you would buy from walmart, not a cool shirt contest. Who cares if he draws on line paper.

Re: Glass Hole

This is cute and original. Very clever!

Re: (resub) Germination of a Seed

Wow Warrior you are so right on! Thank you so much for the Constructive comments all valid points I'm going to redo this right after bunny time : )

niiiice.

Thanks. Yeah, he's quite the artist, isn't he? His newer stuff is gorgeous. He knows color, that's for sure.

thewarrior wrote:wow a lot of commotion on this entry. Dont forget that this is a place to praise and critique entries to help them become stronger. Its probably just because you used the most popular skull from gomedia vector pack, (also the one they place on the box). I like the colors and the design, especially the spider

Nah, nobody cares about the skull. It's the flowering that has a few people bothered. It is a sweet skull though.

Re: Go Fly a Kite

This is one time I don't mind it's on an asphalt shirt. The bright colors are great against the gray, and the black swirl makes it less frou-frou. Very nice.

Re: PIRATE BLUE MONSTER W/ FIRST FLOWER OF THE YEAR

I am very excited about this entry. Asymmetrical hems are in this year, and this shirt will probably be a hit at every spring fashion show. Way to go!(Will the filters let me say that?)

Re: Pockets of Spring II

still very cool. got my vote

Re: Spring Shming, Where's My Coffee

This so reminded me of my late father when you first put it up on the discussion boards - glad to see it's doing so well! What a perfect father's day gift. There's just something so adorable about this ol' bear, grumbling, standing there in his fuzzy robe with his coffee, so typical of so many dads in all our lives. You were inspired with this one, I must say.

The best ideas are the ones that come to you in a flash and that you can get down on paper quickly, then translate easily into a great design, right?

How fun are these derbies??? I love it.

Re: Spring Shming, Where's My Coffee

tgentry, I had a dream about this bear last night, and woke up with the feeling that I must let you know. I dreamt that the bear was angry that he didin't have argyle socks. Or was it that he wanted an argyle bathrobe? Hmmm. It's starting to get dim.

Oh well. I probably need more sleep. Later.

Re: Snowmicide

decided to add a second "crime-scene only" version of my design, vote if you like it and since doing things in two's is always more fun vote for the original too

Re: Pockets of Spring II

I would wear this shirt. Very thoughtful and original design.

sparklzk27 wrote:yea, i can see what you mean, I wonder if it's worth submitting another version with just the "crime scene", although I'm not sure if that's even allowed :/

i decided to add the "crime-scene only" design as well, so check it out and VOTE!

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.

This is a really nice design, very well done, but I have to agree with the other comment, how is this related to spring? Do the pompano run only in the spring in Florida? Being in Washington state, I don't have a clue about the fish there. Maybe a little explanation would help people understand? Just a suggestion.

Re: Botanical Oasis

Lovely colors and great artwork. This is a beautiful shirt.

Re: Pockets of Spring II

why did it need to change?
still nice-- I really liked the blue contrast, but this is nice, too.

Re: Spring in Snow Country

This is a great idea, with the snowflakes transforming into flowers. This shirt is just flat-out pretty! Very nice.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=11835]Flower Power

Sorry to see that this might be rejected. I would definitely wear this shirt and I wish I could get one.

Re: Cherry Blossoms

This shirt is so, so beautiful. Yeah, it's girly, but some past winners have been, too. I don't understand Woot voters - it's a mystery! I look like "kwap" in cream color shirts, but I would make an exception for this one - it's a winner, in my opinion.

Re: Pockets of Spring II

I left the light blue even though the shirt looks like white. I accidentally left it white on the shirt but the print-ready file is still light blue. I had to resize the design to fit within the proportions they want even though I did like the old size better. I also matched the brown color they need, it was the closest to my old color.

Please enlighten me. Really.
BTW...thanks for the complement.

Re: The first bud of spring

Great design. From death comes life. The cycle continues. This is a wonderful representation.

Re: Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

hahahahaha!!!

That's a 10-4. Thanks for responding. The pompano do indeed arrive in spring. They pass by a second time in the fall, but the spring run lasts pretty much all spring and the weather is much more conducive to fishing. Thanks again for the input. I appreciate it.

kimbo3311 wrote: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!

Kimbo,
That is cool that you worked with pompano. I'm glad you like the design.
