Re: 1980 St. Helens Erupts

thanks for the comments, if i was close enough to be knee deep in ash i probably would have peed my pants...well i would have peed my pants either way since i was just born

I knew from the second I read this derby's theme that video game references would be the majority of winning designs. I'd never wear this, but very well done nonetheless

hmmm, maybe adorable in some circles... but is this done in paint? (not trying to flame!) just curious, how do you submit the shirt comp with separate color layers and whatnot? Or did they not worry about it knowing its chances of winning are slim?

Voting is still open. However, in order to be able to vote for shirts you must have made a purchase (any purchase) from Woot.

Re: 1982 --- Tainted Love (on cranberry)

Why does the cranberry distort? Not as bad as the red, but I can't think of a reason why. Printready looks great!

What part of the last rejection didn't you get?

I think the darkest hue is the shirt color. So, there shouldn't be an issue.

So all those little brown lines? those are the shirt.

Wow, you're actually right.

Unless the computer screen is tricking me, I easily noticed 7 colors ...



I could be wrong though, I'm pretty darn tired right now.

AdderXYU wrote:What part of the last rejection didn't you get?

Ummmm, I got all of it. They told me it needed a new bottle shape and a different color, so I changed those things about it. The reason it was rejected was because I stupidly forgot to include the year I was born in the title...glad you read the previous comments before you submitted your comment.

*cough* shirt color *cough* And, I'm not sure why 5 and 7 both point to the same spot? The gray highlights on the bill appear to be the gray from the gun, so there should not be two lines there.

That only makes it all the worse. A naive kid can be educated, but if someone actually believes in the ideals of these two thugs, then they're already lost.

Mine very much was, though i think my cousins had a different one. Fashion and all

gotcha

AdderXYU wrote:Mine very much was, though i think my cousins had a different one. Fashion and all

ah you're right, apparently there were other colors available later on. I see this one on wikipedia. The ones that shipped in the first systems were definitely grey and dark grey with the red trigger

I have seen far worse designs submit far more times. I'm not naming names, but if anyone else would like to I may confirm or deny.

Re: 1980 - Pac Attacked!

creative idea.... but it's going to be rejected due to the strict no pac-man policy

Yes, but pacman is yellow :-p

this is his shadow :D

and btw is this a real posted thing?

This is what i get for not readign forums!

heatz wrote:Yes, but pacman is yellow :-p

In derby 36, there were about 400 text pac-men. Woot decided, since it takes less than no talent to make a circle with a chunk taken out, especially what with digital illustrators, that Pac Man was overdone enough to warrant a ban. They have previously done this with Flying Penguins (Derby #32) and Street Signs (I forget when) in the interest of making the derbies less full of uncreative references geared solely to having a built-in fan base.

So yes, it is a real thing.

I'll second that comment. It's a great design fable, but i can see the stains right now.

As of the derby before last (text as art), all things Pac-Man were permanently banned. I don't really feel like taking the time to produce a link, but this is an actual rule.

sorry Tallworm. I didn't mean to start a discussion about my tattoo. That being said. Thanks to all who like it. And yes, it was done pre-pluto contoversy. I wish my shirt designs would get this much attention.

Still love this shirt design tallworm. GMV.

It's not "official", but it is a list built from experience and examples:
