Yeah, it has kind of a gloomy, Edward Gorey feel to it. I like how the filling is "incomplete."

Re: No Punch Backs

Green is my favourite colour. XP

Re: this is a pipe

Wow, snappedoff, this is undoubtedly your best design so far! I look forward to more of your stuff.

-too bad I can't vote for it- what with the smoking issue. ;^)
-not that I'm encouraging anyone else not to vote for it, I just can't.

I love it!! I have to agree it does look a lot better without the little guy.gl I hope this wins.

Re: Clown

OMGosh! I hope they make this shirt! I want a few of these! This is SIC!

Wow, thats pretty cool. I wish i could vote for it, but I haven't bought a woot shirt yet =/

Re: Lolcat strikes again!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not expecting it to get a ton of votes, but I wanted to start participating in the derbies and this is the first one I've had an idea for since I found woot a couple weeks ago.

At the time of submitting this design, the fog'd shirt colors were brown, grey, grey, and black, I decided I needed an entry to stand out. Plus, it really just looked best on green. Like on money. Brown would have been my second choice. Kind of like a sepia color. Anyways, now I'm just talking too much. Enjoy and keep up the votes!

It looks wonderful on green - it was a great choice. =)

Very cute. GMV.

And 'M' might have made more sense. Great design regardless, deserves to be in the fog. Was just curious why 'W'.

*W*hite house.

Re: Gettysburg Address

My boyfriend's brother is a 6th grade history buff and I want this shirt to win SO BAD! He would absolutly freak out if he saw this shirt. PLEASE let this make it to the fog! People arn't buying 2 crow shirts so people need to pick between to two and let this one in.

absolutely amazing. best black shirt ever.

Re: Raven Head

the best raven, hopefully the last. there is seriously way too smurfing many of them. what is the whole fetish with these ugly death-displaying birds?

this is really nice -- is it meant to look a little celtic-ish?

JRhyne wrote:dang i would really want this! the only thing though is tennessee is tn not ts =/ i really wouldn't care if it were another state but i live there :X but by far the coolest idea for a shirt i've seen in a while

Thanks for the kind words and the heads up. I knew I should have payed more attention in grade school. Not much hope of winning so I don't think I will bother re working it.

Re: Pac Daddy

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!

I agree on both points. This is definitely the cleanest design of all of them. Now Im off to do a Pac Man shirt using the words from "Lenore".

Just kidding....but I wouldn't be surprised if I saw that at some point this week....

I wouldn't worry about it. I always get confused with the initials for Arizona, Alaska, Arkansas, & Alabama.

No! It's completely different. The other one says "wakka-wakka" with only one "dot". I see no similarity. At all. And that's the truth. No lie. ...

thanks for the support everyone!

there are some really stellar designs this week, im glad mine is doing as well as it is.


btw, everyone should check out the 'elemental' shirt design (i got a link in my sig) this is my good friend, kixxster's, first entry, and it came out sweet. so check it out and give her some support if you like it!

Nice Idea

Re: Wakka-wakka!

Okay, you know what? This shirt may be rejected at some point but I still LOVE it. There are a couple other similiar designs that were submitted (well, one parody) but this one is still the best. I mostly like that the words are whole and not cut off to accomodate the shape.

iceberg113 wrote:While I do wish this is how it it would happen, I'm not sure that is an entirely true statement. I'm new to woot, so someone may have already suggested this, but why don't they just keep the designer names hidden until voting closes for that paticular derby? Then favortism wouldn't even have a chance in effecting votes or rejections. It would be totally about the shirts.

If designer names have something to do with the vote numbers, hiding usernames will do little to solve it unless you also ban all the entrants from advertising their work in their signatures. It might get fairly obvious when one person is going around the forums asking for votes.

I don't think the usernames have much to do with it. There are, of course, a few people out there who WON'T vote for a shirt if it's by a particular designer, and here are probably some out there who vote for a designer regardless of quality, but most people will come to this page, vote for some cool stuff and then leave. Most people wouldn't even know that there's all this drama and controversy going on in the comments. =P

Why not a raven with the names of all the Pacman characters? That's bound to be original.... Or Edgar Allen Poe with all the names of different cat breeds?.....or ...
OK, I'll stop

Re: Strong Type

Cool, it's a knock out! Is it available on different colors?

Re: Raven Head

Is this a resub? I swear I had commented on this earlier today.

Re: This Is Not A Political Statement

must...



have.....




now!!

aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! i so wanna get me one of these t-shirts. that way, i'd be able to actually where a cute looking t-shirt. =P

Re: Knives

This has more than 6 colors plus the background color. I recommend withdrawing this and redoing it with only 6 colors, so that it won't get rejected.

Re: This Is Not A Political Statement

I must have missed the discussion about your previous copy of this shirt. Why did you end up re submitting this as a different name?

That's good news. What does the text say?
