all though, she likes lemons too.

Yeah, you kinda have to have a morbid sense of humor (like me) to like this design I guess. My hope however is that it will appeal to more folks in general and not necessarily be something only a mom could wear.

Thanks for the support!

Just out of curiosity, did anybody else do the baby egg project in school? Or sugar sack or flour sack babies?

eHalcyon wrote:Would it work without the text? And will the brown be visible on the shirt brown? Black already has problems, wouldn't another brown be even worse?

But regardless of all that, I really like the design. Those are some cuteeee acorns.

Yow... correct there... brown ink will NOT show up on brown shirts... they're really dark brown shirts. Much darker than the file Woot gives us. Please submit on another color.

Re: MOTHER EARTH

It's hard to tell, but are there gradients? If so, you're going to get rejected. If not, the illusion is very well designed.

Re: which came first?

Gradients on the egg - not allowed.

Or that we give ourselves critiques and share some design ideas off of woot. We're NMES BRO!!

man, that's unfair. so you're both talented, both funny, AND you have someone to share design input with? C'mon guys, move away from each other and share the love around the country.

OR, you could tour in an RV and do What Not to Design, or Designers Eye for the Hack ...

Re: Moms Are Brave

I've heard some terrrrrrible stories that make this shirt less of a joke. XP

Re: Nobodys' child

very cool, and just twisted enough. the design reminds me of something, but I can't think of what it is.

Re: my mom can beat up your mom

This is kinda funny, but its an old joke. And who would honestly wear this?? It is well executed however

Re: A Face Only A Mother Could Have

She's firm... but fair... mostly.

Re: Dragonly Love

well done. Good choice of shirt color

Re: Dragonly Love

Cute! Perfect for my gf! She has a little boy. vote++;

What do you use to draw your designs? do u have a tablet?

I like the idea of tattoo flash and such as a design for a shirt, but this looks awfully like something ripped out of one of Sailor Jerry's books... Even more so given the background you chose. Not trying to be too rude, and I know everyone loves Sailor Jerry, but if you do have time for a re-sub try to make it more 'you'.

More resubs?... Really?

Re: MILF: Mother I'd Love Forever

This will still get rejected. No self-respecting mother would wear this. Anyone from a long distance away will just see the initials and think of the other term.

Re: M.A.N.G.

glad you did it, Spryte! love the comp.

my oldest is insistent that she isn't a geek. eh, she's also the one who entered the derby and is pushing me to buy a tablet...

I resubbed on olive if you care to vote for it ...but I still like it best on brown

Re: MILF: Mother I'd Love Forever

I don't see this as PG-13 (able to stand through woot! filters) enough. Inappropriate. Uncalled for. No, no, no... just no.

that should be the overall goal of the derby, I'd think... yes, there's a much larger female population at woot than woot guys will normally admit to, but not all of them are mothers. I see too many entries trying to go super-feminine and mothery, and that's going to ostracize votes, not gain them.

That said, you've got my vote.

Re: Dragonly Love

Great idea! We have a bumper sticker that reads "do not mess in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup" This shirt would go well with it! gmv

I don't really know. I am referencing the movie Rosemary's baby where Mia Farrow has the devils baby.

Re: Yet another Mom tattoo

This would be awesome if they could print it on the sleeves!

Re: Mama Bear

Kind of lazy to resubmit this.

Re: Mom- expert juggler

This is based on an idea my wife had... she seems to always be juggling several things at once, and does that ten times better than I ever could. So this one's for her.

Re: There was an old woman who lived in a shoe

The lines are the color of the shirt.

soothedbyrainfall wrote:I resubbed on olive if you care to vote for it ...but I still like it best on brown

I understand... I like the brown better too. I wish Woot would have a lighter brown so people could print in browns and blacks on it. Still... it looks just fine on green.

Re: my mom can beat up your mom

FINALLY!!!! I've been asking for a shirt that a GUY could wear -
AND YOU DID IT!!!!.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!

Please forgive my poor diaper-drawing abilities.

hey how do you not use gradients...or get rid of them if they exist. Im new and I dont even know what that is.

My husband would.

1985starzi wrote:Hmmm... good point, but I didn't want to do any that were all caps, I find that annoying. Perhaps I should use a font without all the curved ends, more like block letters, and perhaps a bit bolder?

I think the font is fine - it matches Chuck's hair quite nicely.

Re: MAMAAA!!!

very funny. I have a (too dark?) sense of humor, and this totally tickled it. well-drawn, too.

nice to see a shirt with more than one or two offspring, as well.

outlawmoogle wrote:Kind of lazy to resubmit this.

As long as there are noticeable changes and it matches the theme, there is no problem with a resub. And sometimes the changes take as long as the original. Just depends.

bobbymon wrote:hey how do you not use gradients...or get rid of them if they exist. Im new and I dont even know what that is.

Gradients are where one color slowly changes to another color... like a fade effect.

To have your shirt printed, all areas of color need to be a single solid color. They can't start out dark blue and gradually get lighter from left to right, for example.

Re: Portuguese Mom-of-war

This image is a sketch of the rarely seen Portuguese Mom-of-war. Here she is holding the tentacle of her little one, who's holding the tentacle of her little sister, and so forth...to make sure that everyone is safe as they cross the great, wide ocean together. What a wonderful Mom(-of-war)!

How about some kittens on red?

Nah, didn't think so. :-)

Re: Dragonly Love

THANK YOU! to everyone who's voted and for all the nice comments!

MIA3MOM: that bumper sticker is so funny! my mom would love it, she is a big fan of dragons (another reason for my entry this week)
