We can't find this.. have you submitted yet?

Resubmissions are not allowed unless there has been "significant" change(s) made to the entry. "Significant" is the subjective part here. Color changes, composition, additions, etc may all qualify as significant or may not. It's up to us. If you think someone is sneaking one in, I'll rely on the Tattle functionality to help out. Use the Tattle and link to the previous submission. It's not enough just to say "resubmission."

If it's determined to be a resubmission without significant change, then it will be rejected. People who think it's funny and keep resubmitting will be probated (ooh...I'm salivating).

In the event that a previous entry has attained the noble Honorable Mention status, is then resubmitted with what are determined as 'significant' changes, then the resubmitted entry will stand, but it may forfeit it's entry into the Best of Derby. How's that?

Significant!

Sounds like a plan to me! I'm glad this is finally getting attention.

Oops sorry no, but I will shortly. Thanks!!

Thanks so much, it's nice to hear that after spending so much time on it. Actually it's on cream, not white...I think I'll post the cream one rather than the cranberry.

Good job, derek. It was an annoying thing to do, but good for you for pushing the issue and sacrificing a little of your good image for progress. I hope woot keeps their end of the deal.

Anyone else not feeling the shirts submitted so far? Might save me some money this week.

When creating the Print Ready file, is the shirt color included on its own layer, or not included at all?

Yay for clarification from Joel!

whyskurs wrote:When creating the Print Ready file, is the shirt color included on its own layer, or not included at all?

I usually include it as the background layer(and label it "shirt color"). I don't think there's a rule about what you need to do, though.

Alright. Thanks, man.

Last one for this derby. Didn't have it ready in time for Friday's opening bell.

Lady Madonna as Lady Godiva

This design was inspired by the lyrics "Lady Madonna, baby at the breast ..."from the Beatles Song "Lady Madonna" and by John Collier's famous painting "Lady Godiva" c. 1897. I thought the combination of the two "ladies" made for a nice, compassionate design about the bond between a mother and her newborn.

Do MORE like this! =D I don't dig the abstracts so much as I do this. =)

When this is over, I may have to steal some techniques from you

Please consider this as a shirt for your mom, sister, grandma, daughter, etc. Yes, it's cute...

Echoing sentiments of others, thanks! This set of updates only serves to make the contest more equitable, and increase the quality and originality of each derby. You da man!

There is a lot here for female buyers to love and choose from. It's the Mother's Day theme. If it was a Father's Day theme, there would be a majority of designs made up of football, Nascar, golf, baseball, basketball, new tie, fishing, business executive, and monster truck references. Then you'd be in guy heaven and would have to spend a lot of cash! So this week Woot is giving you a break and letting you save up for the next male-oriented derby. What could be bad about that? :-)

what the heck is wrong with buying gifts for others, that some people just don't get.?

Agreed

TAYLORT5 wrote:what the heck is wrong with buying gifts for others, that some people just don't get.?

That's true, also. But isn't it true that the gifts will be going to females, for the most part - not males? :-)

Unless there are going to be some for the Mr. Moms out there, hehehe.

Here is my Earth Mother entry. (Don't know if I'm doing this right. Clear, consistent instructions were hard to find).

When I was little I had a hamster that became pregnant. This hamster then gave birth to many little jelly-bean-looking babies. After a couple of days we noticed that there weren't as many babies as there were at first. The mommy hamster was munchin on her babies. I think it was because Joey and little Humphry were fighting and mommy just had a little too much of that.

Ewwww! My goodness!

Here's something more cheerful, a baby hamster video. Too cute!

I very much like the design, but because your image is painted instead of a computer generated image it might be hard for Woot to print. If you could find a way to even out all the tones so that it winds up being just six "flat" ink colors with no shades or tones in them, that would be what Woot is looking for. If you have any questions please ask and the nice people here (self included) will be happy to give you tips to get your design onto a shirt. :-)

Thank you, mia. I somehow missed this comment before, sorry. I appreciate that you noticed that I'm catching on to some things. :-)
