You need gradients, transparencies, a turd and flying penguin, at least, (but a photograph of Britany Spears using woot would help) to get more than DamnSkrub.

I'll have you know there is translucency in the detailing on the turtle shell, thank you very much.

Thanks for voting!

Re: Coming Home

I don't mean to alarm you...but your lighthouse appears to be on fire. Might wanna do something about that before you lose the whole thing. ;-)

It's like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side...and it holds the universe together. ;-)

Thanks! I'm really glad you like it!

Re: Protecting the Castle

Hermit crabs carry their homes with them, but the prefer to have some amenities not available in their shells, so they gather together and inhabit the sandcastles left by beach-goers. Hermit crabs must protect their castle home from other critters.

Re: Awkward Ninja Dinner

OK...I have to admit it...I am not a fan of the whole pirate and ninja meme and don't think I've ever voted for a shirt of this genre. But this one is pretty damn funny, thoroughly thought out and very well drawn. Love the details including the pipe falling from the parrot's beak.

I have to agree here. Normally I wouldn't buy a pirate shirt (except maybe as a gift for my friend, Pirate Pete) but this one is just too amusing and well-drawn for me to pass up. Very well done!

Yes, indeed. Beware the dark side of the duct tape. :-)

Thanks, I needed that!

It's like you guys are echoing what I've been thinking. Which I know is a brilliant thing to post but it's still true. :D

Thank you both so much, I'm really glad you like it! I actually had more details I drew but had to cut from the final illustration for the sake of the composition.

Re: Boot Home

I'm glad my owner bought me a woot so I can make him vote for this one for me.

Re: Awkward Ninja Dinner

I'm so glad you put up another shirt. The pirate/ninja thing is beyond old-hat but the art on this is great, so I voted :-)

Re: this shirt

This has some awesome textures/effects. Got my vote.

Yep, the details are great.

Re: Why Witches Don't Go On Vacations

This is one of those shirts that I wish I could vote for more than once.

Re: Man on the Moon's Condo

I capture in this image a rarely captured image- only NASA is aware of the life and doings of the man on the moon. All we see is his expressive face staring down at us, but finally we know it is due to his big home, his pool, his swing, and his cow. Oh, and the awesome view of Earth.

Re: Protecting the Castle

in case anyone's curious, in the design I used razor clams, regular clams, scallop, periwinkles, mussels, and sand dollars - all things that can be found pretty easily in my area. Imagine a lady-slipper carriage with the princess inside, trotting down the walk out of the castle.

AdderXYU wrote:Is that the argument du jour? Weak.

Mr. Cho has not even had a shirt FOG, let alone win, with under 600 votes since Lyrics (Cat-Fu, 553) and only one print under 500 since the last do-over (Patriot Wings). Which means that, with the current paranoia scenario, Cho would need over 300 (if we presume the majority of votes come from friends) to 600 (if we presume only his friends ever vote for him) friends to keep himself winning. The truth is, even if Cho did have a certain guaranteed vote bloc every week without question, it would drop him well short of the fog in any reasonable scenario... he would need hundreds of extra votes to not only hit the fog, but maintain it for days.

Of course, that is to say nothing about the anomaly on this shirt. 10th place. About half the votes that the fogged entries have. Sure, there is a Cho in the fog at the moment, but this shirt was here Friday, and the other was not. If Cho has soooooooo many people voting for him as to make it change his chances at the fog, why would his first entry be all the way in 10th, so far away from the fog? Does Cho only have 150 people in his coven of dedicated voters? Must be the case. And as we all know, 150 votes is plenty of votes to keep someone in the fog all week

cho isn't cheating he is just talented... i think cho tgentry and a handfull of others are some of the most creative, talented, and original artists around...

i wish i had even an 8th of that, and so do most of the haters.

this is actually one of my favorite cho's of all time

actually i dont think anyone was starting an arguement adder, i think u just like typing

Re: The Long Road Home

I was trying to think of what I would wear this shirt with then it hit me. I can wear this shirt by itself! GMV

Re: Home is where you make it

I thoroughly enjoy this illustration. GMV

thats sweet.

I'd try to vote more than once but my vote count would just go down and up again by 1.

Re: home sweet home

I like the sense of depth in the design, hopefully it comes through if it gets printed

Re: Home Improvement

How many turtle shirts do wooters need?

Not something I'd wear, but it'd look good on others. I like placement you decided on.

Re: The Waffle House

I'm all about edible housing, GMV.

Re: Awkward Ninja Dinner

This is completely random, but the pirate dad reminded me of something from a Frank Zappa Album cover...

but to echo previous comments it is well drawn. I don't think I'd buy it, but I wouldn't mind if one of my friends did.

Re: Why Witches Don't Go On Vacations

hahahahahaha I love this shirt. gmv, and I would completely buy it, even though I never wear red. its that great.

They have cookies, though.

Heheh.... Are you from the pants-free lobby? There have been a lot of people promoting that recently, it seems. :-)

Thanks for your support!

So very true. Cookies with dark, dark chocolate chips. :-)

Thank you, I'm glad the illustration is humorous enough to improve your relationship with red shirts

That's all peaches and cream but you're giving him way too much credit. If this thread was the only one one where I've seen him post, sure I'd partially agree with you and say that he is a criti.c with very little artistic ability of his own, but at the same time he is going about it in the wrong way. But alas, this isn't the only thread I've seen him post him and from just a few of his others I've seen pop up I can say with certainty that he's just a simple message board troll.

Don't worry though. I've seen them before on the internet a few times and I've heard they go away if you ignore them. I think that could actually work.

Re: Time to Upgrade

I love the illustration, but most of all the squirrel reminds me of my cat. GMV.

Re: All Lessons Learned in 30 Mins

I really like this design! If I could vote twice for it I would. Also it would make a great late father's day present since my father collects tube radios. Did you consider using brighter colours? Perhaps the using both red and orange?

Re: Coming Home

I see lot of time spent investigating digital art methods and stroke application here. I have a lot of personal respect, as an artist and an art lover, for this kind of person. For that I salute you with a vote.
