I was thinking maybe "Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright" might be a good one to do with the tiger idea if I redo it. Not sure if it's worth it though.

Seriously, this design is clever, quotes something we all know, is simple and elegant... great job, be proud even if it doesn't fog...

Thanks everyone for voting!

Re: Nevermore

Like this work, looks great. I am sooooo broke right now, but I would do all that I could to buy this shirt.

I'm really into the anatomy shirts, and am waiting for one to complement my sticky notes one. This isn't the same shirt, and works for me, GMV

Re: Sheep Plus Plus

Glad I clicked this, so much funnier than I thought from the thumb. Nicely done!

Oh, I totally should have gotten that too. I have several HR shirts, but the one I wear most often is Trogdor.

Re: The Cake Is A Lie

I don't think "Portal is old" is a fair reason to reject a shirt. If the wooters think Portal is old, they won't vote for the shirt.

Re: The Vitruvian Man

This is great! Really smart, and totally wearable IMO. Good job.

Forum browsers, don't pass this up!

They've been rejecting portal references for lots of derbies now. Plus there is a better cake shirt still for sale here.

Re: MORE COFFEE LESS SLEEP

I just realized how cool this shirt was. Nice job! Not a coffee drinker but I would get it for two of my friends.

Re: Cheeseburger Cheeseburger Cheeseburger

i like this design, but i think someone said, would be cool with bacon. bacon makes everything much better...

if you were a health nut,
you could redo this design, just with 'carbohydreates, tub o' butter, cholesterol, calories' etc

Re: Red on black? Red on yellow?

something about this color combination man... its like a optical illusion. it pops crazy like.

this one doesnt seem to have a chance cause it was late entry, but i would recommend playing with these colors again. its screams.

Re: Longcat is Long.

needs to be done better.... even though for what its worth... it made me smile...

otherwise anyone looking at your shirt, would be like... w T f is on your shirt? its like a joke you have to explain... if you have to explain it... no good.

Re: all the cool kids are doing it...

did i not post a comment?

i work for smoking industry.

smoking does not cause death. it causes horrible painful agonizing cancer.

cancer causes death.

besides that, most smokers cant read anyways... so we'll let this pass.

Re: Typosaurus

this ones cute and neglected by the derby. ;j

Re: nerd - i know you are but what am i?

im a nerd. i like this shirt. unfortunate it didnt get in the fog. i could see this at your online typical shirt store. you should pimp it at cafepress after 60 days.

Re: Lolcat strikes again!

if i was gonna wear a shirt with a cat on it... i would want that mother HUGE on my chest. ;j

Thanks. Not a bad idea for a submission elsewhere. I do love the bacon cheeseburgers, but bacon would take at least one more color and I didn't want to cut anything I had in there.

Hold the onions. =P

Who keeps deleting "open buttcheeks"?

Well, maybe you will steal my idea for next week. I plan on winning. I''m doing what I call "Put The Letters In The Periodic Table Of Ravens" It's a sure winner! In the meantime, can I interest you in a diminutive grass lot?

Re: This Little Light

Hi, this is my very first derby entry so really just looking for some feedback at this point. I realized too late that the design detail was too small...so thank you for clicking and getting this far to the shirt comp!

The blue text seems out of place, but I like it nonetheless.

Since you've only just submitted it, you won't really lose anything if you remove this entry and resubmit it with a larger design detail. In any case, I'm afraid it's highly unlikely you'll make it very far up, given how late in the game it is!

Yes, I think you're right about that, so I probably won't bother with the resub. Ths was a good opportunity for a trial run though so no worries on where it ranks. Thanks for the feedback!

smithsonia wrote:I'll second that.
are w00t artists allowed to sell from other sites?

/if you are, and you do, let us know!

There is a waiting period (60 days, I believe) during which artistss cannot use their submissions for anything other than display in a portfolio. After that, if woot has not expressed an interest in using the submitted design, the artists are free to do as they wish. There are probably other nuances, but that's basically how it is.

Re: Nevermore

I greatly prefer this Raven; love the visual effect of the bolded text as shading! The thumbnail looks great, which tells me that the shirt will look great from afar even before anyone comes close enough to read the 'punchline,' which is always something I take into consideration. I voted and would definitely buy.

Re: This Little Light

The blue type might work better if it was just on the screw part of the bulb.

I like your font choice. Very childlike which works well with the song.

I agree; this is a great, very fun first entry!
I can only hope that I can come up with something even close to this level of work, when I eventually design my first.

Re: Evolution Happens

I saw a shirt similar to this on Cafe Press.

Would like to get one.

Thanks for the encouragement. It's unlikely I'll be entering the next derby - while it's all well and good to procrastinate NOW, I can only put off work for so long. I have a curious philosophy and work ethic - for example, I refuse to skip class but I am perfectly content to sleep during lectures. Similarly, I will put off work to the last minute, but I will always use that last minute to complete the assignment to the best of my ability (that is, the best of my ability given the compressed time frame).

Re: hungry shark

This is great! I would love to have this shirt. Definitely got my vote!
