Re: Modern Avian Motherhood

I love this image. I have only a very minor critique and it's not about the image itself, but rather the portion of the image you chose as a detail. It takes time to look through so many entries and I find myself spending hours perusing the detail images and still not getting through them all. That said, it took me a long time to get to this one because I assumed it was nothing more than a well rendered mother bird illustration, and so I passed it over more than once. I would have clicked much sooner if the detail had included the baby bird hanging from the dummy-mom. Even if it's not obvious what I was looking at, it would have intrigued me to click and investigate. (Another way I would've clicked on it sooner is if your name was allowed to be displayed with the thumbnail image... then I would've known I was in for more than just a pretty picture that could be seen on a t-shirt on sale for five bucks at the local Walgreens.) All in all, it's a gorgeous shirt, it's gmv (later than it should have), and it's truly an inspiration to behold.

206K aint nothin... now, Oldsmobile wagon on the other hand; that's just plain scary!

intense!

Everything is a matter of taste and opinion so I'm just taking the time to say that I completely disagree. I think the font is dynamic and playful, yet still very easy to read, and fits in perfectly with the simple illustration of the belly. I probably wouldn't have said anything if the font style hadn't been slammed, but the previous comment seemed overly harsh. You can't please everyone all the time. Nicely executed.

Re: llo evolution.

My mom and I both love this shirt! Really hope it can make it through the fog.

Re: Mo-om... he’s squishing me!

It's unfortunate to lose your design out of the fog. It was on my to buy list. That said, I understand why woot did it and appreciate them being vigilant about the entries. Now if we could just see a little more consistancy in the application of the rules and I'll be happier.

Maybe I'll just donate $10 to Susan Komen instead of buying another shirt this weekend.

I think that is the best solution by far. All of the people who said they would buy this shirt should now donate that same $10 directly to the Susan Komen Foundation.

Re: Kiwi Breakfast For Two

nice - your scaling might be a little off. it is hard to see the worm's face up close.

I like the kiwis though. Very cute although I would love to see the whole design bigger. Can you post it somewhere?

Well, I certainly intend to to something with this after the 30 day hold if Woot doesn't pick it as an honorable mention.

Or, you know, however long that hold is.

DirtiusMaximus wrote:Or, you know, however long that hold is.

Yes, 60 days.

Re: Bless You

Just curious, but what's in the mama's hand? The yellow/gold object? Anyone?

Almost there, good luck!

hey thanks a ton beefcoat! I really like the hamster eating the baby... nice drawing!

Is that sarcasm? I can't imagine, even knowing how sensitive people can be, that anyone could really find this offensive enough to get rejected. Maybe you're interpreting it wrongly? ..I dunno... I'm at a loss. This shirt gmv. Nice job.

Re: DON'T FORGET YOUR SWEATER

Say, KTessa...that cardigan looks familiar. ;)

Thanks! I really haven't drawn a better bunny before, so I'm glad it got some love this week.

Re: Mama Mia

I don't know why this isn't getting love or votes. I love the cartoon style of this. I might have added a bowl of ziti, but I think it's great.

AdderXYU replied to 2thFairy's question about a breastfeeding rally and wrote:I think it's where teams of five women run topless with a suckling baby, passing it off to the next one until they cross the finish line.

This gave me QUITE a laugh at work! However, I believe this is a breastfeeding Relay. Mia and My---- described breastfeeding Rallies in previous posts.

This is from a youtube video about a sneezing panda. It's cute. The mama was startled while snacking on something crunchy...maybe a rice cake, or something like it.

Re: Classic Momma's Boy

Looks good to me. Finish sooner next time!

Re: Classic Momma's Boy

TJ - I do not think anyone will question the artistic ability displayed here. But before worrying about it being PG-13, I'd wonder if woot will think this is off-topic. After all, this derby is supposed to get shirts out in time for Mother's Day. I doubt this is what they were thinking of. But even if they have no problem with this, Wed afternoon is very late for entering the derby. There really isn't enough time for many people to see it, and there are so many other entries at this time taking focus away from yours.

This is a dark design in many ways. The one thing I would be concerned about is whether there is enough contrast for all the details in the face to show up on a shirt.

You obviously have tremendous talent. Hope to see many more entries from you. Just try to get them in as soon after the derby opens as you can.

Re: Moms of the World...

whats up cody. shirts are getting better, keep it up

Re: Mom always liked him best

62 votes and no comments; it's a shame =(

Re: WOW MOM...WHATEVER! (resub)

I don't get it...

ansharp wrote:I agree re: placement. Right now the head is nestled right between the breasts, and the widest part of the design is going right across the gut, giving a widening effect to any wearer. But the design itself is great -- nice lines and wonderful color palette (actually reminded me of zenne or sokowa). I hope to see a lot more from you in the future.

Me likey! look forward to more stylized stuff!

Re: Feeding v2

thanks everyone for the awesome comments and support. to bad it got rejected.. again =[ *giggles* but kind of cool that my design got so much attention and its my first time submitting something to this site =P well thanks again ill try harder next time *giggles*

Hey Sokowa- Today was storytime for the lil' ones at the library and the theme was bunny rabbits. They read (and sang) lil' bunny foo foo and I couldn't help but think of your design from the lyrics derby! Didn't know today's topic ahead of time, or I would have worn my copy of your shirt! Would have been perfect!

Re: If all your friends...

Steeeeeve!! I voted

every time i see this i snort, this is the most awsomest rejectionated submission everrr!

No one voted because THEY wanted to give money for cancer. They voted because Daedalus would get $1000 which would be donated for them. I'd say at least a quarter of the voters would never have bought, and even more certainly won't donate without getting an adorable shirt out of it. While I'm confident that Daed would have kept his promise and donated the thousand, I'd be shocked if the charity got $100 out of this plan.

Some people don't care to hear the truth, and that truth is that at least one in four babies are alien spawn.

I wanna vote, How do I vote!

nettles14 wrote:I wanna vote, How do I vote!

I'm afraid that you can't vote until you've purhcased something from woot. As soon as you've made one purchase (either here or one of the other woot sites) you'll see a "I want one!" tab above each image with which you can cast your vote.

Thanks so much!

It is lovely. Slight correction, usually it is other female whales who guide the neonate to the surface. Watery proof of community midwifery.

Re: llo evolution.

I like 3 of the 4 shirts in the fog right now, but, this is my personal favorite. I wish we could choose out of the top four. Hang in there amoeba!!!!!!!!!!!!
